This must be from a horror anime series or something. The attack of the pac-man breast!

Okay, lets move the setting forward a tad. ;)

I love how the remote is made to look like a turret with the antenna in the place of the main gun.

Just watched the first 20 mine of Agent Aika. TVTropes was right, do not make a drinking game out of the panty shots... And, to no one's surprise, I find Rion adorable. ;)

Things I think are cool about Girls und Panzer
This is one of the shots from the show in slow motion. If you watch this real time it happens in the blink of an eye, but they took the time to animate the way the muzzle flash looks correctly. If you’ve ever watched high speed footage of a tank shot you’ll see that it’s pretty spot on compared to what you see here.
They don’t always animate them like this, but they do it far more often than not. Especially when a shot takes place in front of and near the camera.

Oh, and it appears that our kicked back class president takes over the gun... and kicks arse.

Girls und Panzer ep. 9 is on AnimeFreak at least.

In which the Oorai girls make repairs, do a silly dance, and stage a break-out. And the Class Prez and team do indeed kick ass and take names. Miho is a sneaky bugger. Nonna shows off her gunnery skills. And we have a truely bogus ending for the week. :))


:-? Well, now we know what tank Eyepatch and team are getting; a Type 3 Chi-Nu. Still wondering what is to become of the Tiger.


Also: I notice on Anime Flavour that the episode listing has been expanded from 11 to 21 episodes, so "Yay!" Since that is a bit of an off-spec number for an anime series, there may be more yet to be added, too.

A more general question, maybe having fun with the thread title. :ymdevil:

Are there any characters that, if given to hop into their world or pull them into ours, you would jump at the chance to be with. This could apply to any factor from good old fashioned lust to just thinking the character is cool.

Just off the top of my head, I could easily see myself going for.
Rally Vincent
Nene Romanova
Ami Mizumo and/or Makoto Kino (yes, at the same time is very much on the table... or the bed, or the floor... )

Not that I would think that any of those have any chance of happening, but sometimes just sitting back and enjoying one's fantasies is amusing.

Finally got a chance to see GuP ep 9. So, barely win the battle, tie, or lose, but with something going on to keep them going otherwise despite losing, possibly due to their spirit?

Concerning your previous post, the list would be too damn long.

You know, I am getting a chuckle at the sheer amount of fan art and such of Darjeeling, captain of St Glorianna's team. Something about her has had a wide appeal.

I found these two fan-art pieces amusing:

Poor Katyusha. :))


I've been reading some of the Girls und Panzer manga online and it seems to be some small differences from the anime. For starters Akiyama Yukari seems to be the focused protagonist rather than Nishizumi Miho as in the anime. Also the StuG III in the manga is the Ausf. A-E version with the short 75 L/24 rather than the later Ausf. F or later as in the anime. And Class Prez is way more dynamic than she comes off in the anime. :))



ETA: As I recall they did have the StuG with the long gun in Chapter 3 (without explaination), and I didn't catch this in the anime but the command team of St. Gloriana's (the English) are all named for tea types. :))

Over in the 'what do you want Seven Seas to licence next' thread, I asked if they could look into GuP. (BTW, where are you reading it?)

Both Manga Fox and Manga Park have the first four chapters translated. That's all I've found so far.

You know, I think I need to find me a new copy of Dragon Half. Been far to long. ;)
