Mre !!
MRE......Yes, I love it! I love packaged military ration. It had long shelf-life and always ready-to-eat, good for camping or trekking. I experienced to eat 4 different countrie's ration, Japan, UK, US, and Germany.
In late '90, MRE(US) had total update program for raise quality, especially taste. MRE nowaday is not so bad except BLACK BEANS BURRITO....... Did someone remember Deep Brown bagged MRE? That's horrible, of course. Half of main meal menu was made me puke. Noodle with Chicken, Pressed Turkey Breast, Chilli Beans, it was nightmare. Light brown bagged MRE in ’80〜’90 still had a 30% of inhumanity taste menu out of 12 variants, most of bad menu had tippical ingredient, "chicken". When you saw "CHICKEN something" on the bag, you should exchange to somebody's, swift and secretly. Or swallow it with full of tabasco and cry. And there's a white bagged MRE, that's made for extreme cold enviroment. Every meal was freeze-dried, it need boiled or not freezed water to eat. And lot of sweeties and sugar within, for extra calories. I experienced that white MRE once, main meal menu was "Strawberry flavoured Oat-meal with Milk", sweet as hell. British 24h ration is totally good. Better than any food in the UK. No wonder why British forces can maintain its organization by fully volunteered. I ate it at '80 and late '90, main difference was main meal '80 tinned and '90 bagged. Those box contains many toffy and chocolate, that's delicious. German NATO 24h ration was........urp*sorry my stomach growling. That's totally Greasy. Taste not bad, but Tons of LARDs in every inch of meals!! I don't want to see these golden cans again. Anyway, Japanese meal. There's no Self-contained one package meal. Because, JSDF is basically Home Guard, they didn't need it. Each JSDF unit had backup by domestic logistics in local area, most of rations is separate package-converted civil boil‐in‐the‐bag foods and tins. Only two of tin is JSDF original menu, that's "Takuwan can"(Yellow Pickles of Daicon) & "Umeboshi can"(little crisp umeboshi). In emergency, or on the field exercises, there's a no-field-kitchen menu of course, Onigiri provided in good case but worst case........there may be only bunch of large size Hard-tuck biscuit & bag of crystal sugar. No Joke!! That's all, folks!! Last edited by florallia; 2013-01-14 at 08:30. |

I remember these bottle leaking in many occasion, especially at military surplus MREs. Condiments pack contains Bog-Roll, it soaked up of course. I rub my nose by these once, you know the rest! Thank for not having call of nature that time. |

Now we're speaking my language. Lots of anime want to promote certain parts of Japan, but not enough do it with local heroes. (Maybe Lagrange should've done that. Though Madoka's kind of made herself Kamogawa's local hero anyway...)

Now, of course Senshado is different. In the case of senshado there is an actual social barrier in associating boys with tanks. So it is not directly comparable.

I'm thinking the Sensha-dou rules would make exemptions for the 20-pdr and the armour protection of later Mks provided the advanced FCS and other technologies like post-war rangefinders are not used. The alternate to the 40M would have been the 43M Zryni II Assault Gun. In a way it has its own limitations. I also considered the M10, or M10 Achilles before the Stridsvagn m/42, but thought it would be considered unacceptable for safety reasons because of its open top. And in regards to combat action. The Chi-nu of Ooarai and M4A6 of Saunders never saw combat service, and yet their number was fewer than the Stridsvagn m/42. So units like the Covenanter and Ram which were produced in far greater numbers and never saw action (at least as gun tanks) would be relevant. Even the lesser produced M6 and variants and M2 Medium and variants would qualify. Last edited by Beri270T3; 2013-01-14 at 19:26. |

I wonder how the disk shortage is going to effect the final sales stats. You'd figure that not being available on Amazon.jp and on the street for weeks would be a momentum-killer and that final sales could have been a lot higher if all demand was met immediately instead of in sporadic shipment bursts.
I also wonder if we're still going to have shortages once the final episodes in March are broadcasted. Volume 2 I expect to do just as good as volume 1 - though there's a lack of an event ticket and other goodies, episodes 3 and 4 are when the series starts to rock. There's a lot of unusual variables in play, and future anime sales trackers may not be able to use GuP as a benchmark or anything. Also, it turns out GuP is a mecha series, after all! |

Those are the sales for the first volume? If so they really are pretty good. I'll even venture a guess and say that a second is almost a given with all the popularity the show has*.
*at least that's my hope
