That part could actually be worth watching. Of course, I was going to watch it anyway as soon as possible, but now I feel like there's something to look forward to.

I get the feeling that Girls und Panzer was planned out as a 2-cour show. There are so many characters with lots of backstory that there won't be enough time in a single cour show to explore properly. Similarly, there seems to be a lot more untold details about the different schools than we've been shown. They probably couldn't fund a 2-cour show properly, so it's going to be a single season.

I'd say it's for the best as 2-cour shows are more difficult to manage, and a mess up like this would have far more serious consequences. It'd also mean that each episode had to be tightened up and absolutely packed with content. And really it's the amount of content that breathes life into the show.
Maybe, maybe, but I get the feeling that, by the end of the 1-cour show, I'm not going to feel like they've given me enough of it. Unless something significantly changes, I'm going to still want more when this is over.

It sure looks like her. I again salute her bravery: even knowing nothing about that specific model, I don't think you could get me to touch that thing with a ten-foot pole. It looks like it's going to fall to pieces in mid-air.

5.5 I did not watch (I'm waiting for the translation vostfr), but if this is an episode summary I do not know if I would want to see

It's actually a lot better built than it looks, and she is perfectly safe in there. The reason the Luftwaffe didn't put more into production is more so because their strategic needs lay elsewhere, not because it was unsafe.

Those that WERE put into production were used to airlift supplies to mountain divisions. The rotors being out on struts was Germany's solution to the "It won't stop spinning!" problem.

Good for them and for us, this show becomes the surprise hit of the season. BD/DVD preorder is about 4,200 right now and it will exceed Chuunibyou (about 4,600) soon.

Right now, there is a little chance that they will do the second second or the adaption of "Little Army" manga.
I don't think that there's very much risk with a 1-cour show since Strike Witches already proved that there's a market for this kind of show. A 2-cour show is a different matter since you'd need a lot of confidence to do that for an original anime.

I'd expect a sequel rather than retelling Miho's earlier adventures. The reason is twofold: there are going to be a large number of fans of the regular cast and they wouldn't show up in a prequel, and a properly told show should already tell us what we need to know about what happened to Miho.

I'm not surprised. The prefectures that were hit by the tsunami have been aggressive in pursuing tourism money. If Girls und Panzer can put Ooarai and Ibaraki into the consciousness of would-be travellers, the governments will jump at the opportunity.

The flip side is that it's sort of nice to finish a show that leaves you hungry for more. I'd also imagine that a fewer number of episodes means that we'll have more unique and interesting battles. And battles are really the main draw for this show.

Given more episodes, we probably would have had seen more from the other characters, and they'd talk more about the individual tanks. I don't recall even really obvious tidbits like how Shermans utterly overpower the Ooarai AFVs being talked about in the show.

Yeah, and look @ strike witches. I had mixed feelings when the original series premiered. But damn, two full seasons and a movie, and I still haven't watched the damn thing!

Why don't someone just make 1:1 size replica tanks out of aluminium and fibreglass?

I mean, we are talking about old tanks here. Not that high tech by modern standards. And the blueprints are still around right?

I am sure there is a market for these things.

That would basically be the mockup he suggested. With modern technology I'm sure something lightweight with cheaper materials could be constructed without being prohibitively expensive. I just don't think it would have quite the same imposing presence as the real beast, though.

Well, I was actually thinking of using a tractor as a base and then add steel plates on there for a more accurate mockup. Unfortunately, even the cheapest would go at a minimum... in the United States, for around $50,000. Now... they can easily purchase an operational T-34 for around $30k, and customize it however they want. Besides, Russia is closer!!

here is a Japanese self built scaled Panzer III.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4c0_1306338710

for things like this, farmers (who has the tools, times, and skill) are the one to go, I used to have a link of a Russian farmer who built all kind of WWII 1X1 scale tank from tractor parts, so good that he was contracted to do the props for the various Russian war movies, including the latest movie about a haunted white Tiger?

A scaled version would work. Unfortunately, it'd kill authenticity

There is of course... a concern. A 1:1 scale Panzer IV just wouldn't fit within the usual confinements of common Japanese streets, let a alone a place like Ooarai.

Doesn't mean I am giving up on the chances of seeing one, though
