*Seen Characters design* I love them!!!

I haven't watched it yet. Can someone tell me the relationship between a tank and girls in this shows???

The plot is [Tank becomes girl] or [girls drive a tank]???

EDIT: Ah, please forget what I asked. I just looked at PV.

Um, a panzer is short for panzerkampfwagen, "Armored Combat Car", aka tank. And they're using a Panzer IV. They've got the panzer already.

well give so far give seem all girls school in focus on working on tanks.

give seem female miho don't want to drive tank but give student pres being too much of a bully give her friend trying to defend then miho will do the tank.

yet all this on a big giant boat well hmm give more to go what next?

Sigh I should stop getting my hopes up when I hear premises like this...You imagine something incredible and you get...Well whatever that first episode was.

Bland characters doing barely anything the entire time save for riding around in dinky CG toys tanks for a few brief minutes...

Just saw the somewhat atrocious subs from a certain group who thought adding random German would be a good idea.

The episode itself with subs was quite enjoyable though, especially since it confirms a few inferences from the raw. Though some, like the incentives to join the tank classes, where quite

Also, giving us an awesome battle at the start only to cut into the story prologue is such a tease. I WANT MOAR TANKS!!

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

wow i don't think that was in the manga....

well they are only a few chapters in so who know maybe it's anime original maybe not...

Kimidori · 2012-10-09, 10:17

in this anime, if you wanted to be a popular and successful women you had to become a tank driver... and people think men and tank just don't go together...

this show boss, will be watching this every week

Marina2 · 2012-10-09, 12:34

*Watched it.*

Wow, I think I found another show that I really like in this season!

It has colorful art, good animation, nice background, likeable characters, and nice plot. – In my standard.

I will follow it to the end for sure.

Malkuth · 2012-10-09, 12:49

OK, that was very lame, up until that in universe advertisement mid-way, which was pure gold

HandofFate · 2012-10-09, 12:58

Don't really get the whole plot and story, think its pretty dumb.

That little War-Recruitment style advertisement for Panzer they showed all the girls in the assembly was gold though.

Weird how they made it seem like ALL the girls were talking and getting excited about it in the school, and in the end, only 21 girls signed up, lol.

ookamigirl · 2012-10-09, 13:11

I don't get Japanese fetish with German machinery...
The only thing saving this one are the fact there are girls in it.
This is definitely a shounen thing.
Either then that and Panzer fans everyone else has nothing to see here.
Totally not watching it.

It's a story about a group of girls who are part of the tank battle club that take part in competitions. What's hard to understand about that?

Yea that was funny...

Endless Soul · 2012-10-09, 14:47

A world where it's strange to think of men and tanks, and you aren't a real woman unless you've operated a tank. Interesting. I guess that's one way to get a girl in a tank.

I wonder who's operating the super-carrier? Judging by one of the scenes during the ED, the carrier is indeed massive, dwarfing the pier and the coastal town. I wonder if we'll get an explanation for that.

Xion Valkyrie · 2012-10-09, 16:51

Just from eyeballing it, the aircraft carrier is at least a mile tall from sea level, if not more. I think the animators got lazy and just slapped on town onto an aircraft carrier without considering how impractical/impossible it is to use a standard aircraft carrier for their design.

jwai · 2012-10-09, 18:09

Just saw the first subbed episode, and laughed my arse off for much of the opening scene, since WW2 armour is something that I have some interest in.

Insane · 2012-10-09, 18:25

Watching eps 1, feels like watching Strike Witches albeit without super powered suit.

I wonder if male's position had been pushed aside in this show, since everything in the millitary is controlled completely by a bunch of girls. Millitary and girls just feels doesn't click for me.

Dextro · 2012-10-09, 18:51

Ok just saw the first episode and I must say it again: mind = blown!

The premisse of the show is just so ridiculous that it becomes automatically awesome and the episode itself seems to indicate that the story doesn't take itself too seriously which is a major plus when we're dealing with something so incredibly random.

I must say I was laughing all the way to the bank the whole episode simply because of how ridiculous the whole thing is. And on top of that the animation was pretty decent, the character designs incredibly cute and the colors pretty vibrant. I think this one's a keeper for me.

PS: btw was I the only one thinking that the ground texture at the start were in dire need of some tessellation?

LeoXiao · 2012-10-09, 20:52

Watching the first episode and...WTF ARE THESE SUBS!? I googled "G&P english subs", not "let's show off our highschool-level German skillz".

ZeKeR · 2012-10-09, 20:54

wait... isn't the Matilda that tank that the Pz III crews were butthurt about because their guns just can't do it in?

now to play World of Tanks in SEA.
