Here's a thought: who's paying for Miho's stay at Ooarai? Is she still being supported by her mother in spite of being technically a failure based on the precepts of the Nishizumi school? I mean, it looks to me like she's renting the place she's in right now, and I don't see a 16-year old being able to support herself unless she's been working part-time behind the scenes.

...and then probably Miho would have had to look for work. |

I think most people are misunderstanding what disinheriting here means. Shiho wouldn't be recognizing Miho as a Nishizumi, not necessarily cutting off the family relationship. It's a sort of difficult concept to understand given how interconnected the clan and the profession is in traditionalist Japanese families.

One things I've not quite figured out yet. At the beginning, the first time we see Miho get up, she starts changing and reacts as if something is going to happen to her while changing. Then she opens her eyes and says something like "Oh that's right, I'm not at home anymore". Anyone have any idea what that might be about?

I can't give you specifics off the top of my head. As I said, this isn't something that has come up a great deal. Just to be clear, I'm speaking from general impression that has been left with me from various bits of media relating to Japan (some anime, manga, and movies): I cannot right now point you to a specific example and say "here is what I am talking about" because my memory isn't that clear. I may have to do some digging to see if I can find what I'm thinking of.
It is also possible that I am confusing this for something else. It is possible I'm getting some eastern and western cultural concepts mixed in my head, or maybe something else. As I said, this isn't an issue that comes up all that often.

Now, in modern Japan, that term means gets mild. Usually, Kandou means expression of "I don't want to see your face, go anywhere and live yourself, lad" from parents, or Leader of Family, at confrontation of family affair. Many time, it only means harsh insult term for child. That makes heart cry, but no more. In other way, person who gets pronounce of Kandou, must leave from house, but many case, it just cause for change living place from family home to another, like relative's house, or domitory of school or company, or simply, rent a room. But not so serious social matter as old society custom. Many case, especially minor age, children gets funding which had time limit from parents until graduate school and get job for living oneself. Then, sail away for new world by own. But this not means total separation. Other family member except Leading Family Person (father, sometime mother, or grandparent) who pronounce Kandou keep in touch, in many case. You can see these situation in many story. |

I'm one of the few here who was playing WoT way before GuP, way back during the Open Beta in 2010. While I have been a military buff for a while now, my interest was mostly in firearms and aircraft, and tanks were a distant tertiary interest. It was only with WoT that I really came to like tanks in general. You can say that the reason GuP interested me so much in the first place was because of my prior like of WoT. On topic, here's some larger preview pics of OVA 2: Didn't realize that Yukari was displaying MRE's there. Though would we have expected anything else?
