This is one of those few times where I must concur. The whole notion of 'no such thing as notability' means that people may potentially mess with information for their own gain. Thus, readers must exercise caution when reading and interpreting their information. Of course, being an editor myself there (however sparingly I contribute), I can ensure that more obscure stuff, such the length of the school ships, is in fact accurate (by finding a good source to back up the claims).

And to be fair, we actually had a good idea of the scale for the ships, since Ooarai's dimensions were already available within a week or two due to the free giveaways (which also meant the scans were easy to get). Everything else had to be dependent on the stuff that was in-show (which led to both spot-on conjecture and the usual tinfoil hat crazy theories), as the BR supplements on the setting only became availables with the BRs themselves.

On that note, my speculation turned out to hit the nail on the head, right down to the strategies used and outcomes of the show based entirely on what had happened in the show up until that point. The examples supplied were written by someone with a reasonable background in counterinsurgency doctrine and had some familiarity with story-telling elements, accounting for why they remain realistic and ultimately predicted almost everything that happened in the final two episodes. Not all speculation is worthless: the trick is exercising caution in knowing what is reliable and what isn't. Now, since Wild Goose and I were right about virtually everything in the show, how about we start agreeing with us rather than, say, Sumeragi and willx?

That ain't happening. We've all fallen down the rabbit hole. We're all mad.
A show, about girls and tanks, has spawned discussions nonstop over the last six-odd months and over 300 pages. That works out to slightly under 2 pages a day of arguments.

OK, I just finished watching this series - in the span of the past week. And I must say... I have always been amused by the ability for a tank driver able to drift -- with a tank. Someone mixed in some Initial D here.

Well, the show is back in Older Series again now...
So... this should be recognizable... Images http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=35007519 Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?The real-world tanks do have a certain charm to them, but the story still works out in a fantastical setting. |
