All of the schools listed in the National Tournament are Japanese despite how they may appear. While the names of foreign schools might be written in katakana, the kanji is a dead giveaway. Quote:
It's the perfect music to herald the defeat of the Republic's enemies. I'm not a big fan of most American military music, but I like this piece a lot.

After rewatch again, there is statement of darjeeling:
"We refuse to fight in vulgar manner like Sanders or Pravda." As we can see from OP that Sanders battle at the beach and Pravda at the snow. Can Anyone tell from that what kind strategy Pravda use? Last year Pravda win agains Black Forest who consist Maho as Captain and Miho as Vice and stop their 9th consecutive win. And it seem that Ourai will fight with Pravda at semi final. |

Personally, I want to hear the Hohenfriedeberg or Prussian Gloria, especially if the show intends to keep the marching songs from the 18 ~ 19th centuries. I guess I don't mind Panzerlied, but thats a bit overused. Unfortunately, I don't think they'd have any piece with lyrics. - Tak |

This show was a big surprise to me. I ignored it for three episodes, then was encouraged to give it a try: and it is good. Saki with tanks. Except that I find myself enjoying it more than I did that show.
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry when our heroines carried the fight into the town. But the show had a good way of dealing with the practical problem: by invoking welcome insurance claims. This and the silly idea that you can send out kids in tanks and not have anyone really hurt did seem basically ridiculous, but they are well within the limits of my "willing suspension of disbelief." The one thing that makes me leery is that the show is a bit of a recruiting tool for the Japanese military. As someone with Chinese connections, any encouragement of Japanese militarism worries me. But that isn't going to stop me watching and enjoying. I think Fuchigami Mai (Miho), who was highly effective as Maekawa-san in Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, is doing a nice job here, too. More, please. Quote:
In the interests of honesty, I am willing to go further and say that I think it is perfectly reasonable for women to think men are louder, grosser, and more violent than women -- since on average, they are. And whether or not women would be as bad as men if they had power, they don't, and men have always used power to fight each other and harm women and children -- for profit and giggles (in that order).

The rearranged version is more famous with its incorporation of the Hohenfriedeberg. Quote:

(Well, technically they didn't have lyrics originally, but today they're acknowledged as having them.) Quote:
Also, the very background premise of the show and its portrayal paints tank warfare as a romantic and honorable competition between women. It's more akin to a Sports anime instead of being a military one, despite the military overtones. The only things they're trying to promote in this show are the two things in the title: the Girls and the Panzers

If anyone is familiar with Japanese military manga set in WWII... a vast majority of them is about the individual German soldier. - Tak |

As for recruiting drive, I am not thinking of anything direct, just of making people interested in and comfortable with military affairs. Not that I can blame them: in China, every small newsstand has a couple of magazines about world weaponry. In any case, I have made a characters/seiyuus page for this show. Not my usual, with pics and info about the seiyuus, since there are so many of them in the show that the page would get so long as to be inconvenient. Just a pic of each character and a link to info about their seiyuu. I find it useful for keeping people straight, too. It's based on the main characters page on the official site. Our next opponent, the American school, features seiyuu work from Kawasumi Ayako, Ise Mariya and...Hirano Aya! @Tak -- Love that recruitment video. Would be effective in recruiting women to the navy, perhaps? Lol. To further make my point, that happy, comic approach is what I am talking about, too: making people comfortable with the military.

As for efficiency... I don't want to offend anyone here, but honestly, the standard of the Nationalist Army wasn't very high. Its not a wonder the Japanese Army appeared more efficient. The best Nationalist troops were the German trained divisions, most of which were lost due to attrition during the battle of Shanghai. They also had little to no tank support, with a majority of Chinese armored vehicles being of the Vickers or Panzer I variant. Once the Japanese army begin to resist against the American counterattack, its almost too easy to note the disparity between the two forces, where in a majority of cases, you have a pretty lopsided win for the Americans. Consider what the Japanese infantry were given. A bolt action rifle supported by machinegun teams carrying a bulky weapon that was often complicated to setup and with nothing in between. Whereas the Americans were equipped with semi-auto Garands, Thomson submachine guns, and portable .50 cals. The comparison between armor is even more drastic. The Shermans weren't the toughest tanks in the European theater, but not a single Japanese AT weapon or tank had the reliability and power to deal with them. If it wasn't for jungles and unfamiliar terrain, the Japanese army would not have been able to resist as long as they have. But as always, anything military German is pretty much teh cool or teh standard by default. Yes, yes it is. This was aired on TV, man! - Tak Last edited by Tak; 2012-11-02 at 14:30. |
