Girls und Panzer (TV).

The fansubber are making a mistake with inserting so many German words, it makes it hard to understand things, and I even find myself going off what I understand in Japanese over what some of the subtitles. I am still having fun and looking forward to how next episode turns out.

Since this is Saki with tanks (though much less overt lesbian overtones)...

Finally, will the girls be maintaining their tanks (like sighting, cleaning the barrel, oiling them et cetera) or is that all going to be done by the yet-to-be-seen motor club?

You guys know Commie has a second non-German track? Not that I'd use it, all of the BS inserts make the show more interesting.

Hiryuu

Tanks without infantry is ridiculous.

They don't have the first clue about tactical theory. I find this amusing and irksome at once.

This is wrong on so many different levels.

And totally derivative of Tank Police.

They even have a Renault.

Three minutes into it and I am spending more time finding wrong points than just watching it.

Tanks on an aircraft carrier? Hm, when what the last time I saw the what doesn't belong here trope?

Oh, and, yeah, too many crosses.

I could have enjoyed this if were a bit more like, say, Angel Beats, but it's just an inflated balloon.

I also think that their instructer seems spoiler[kind of poor in having them do a sparing match so quickly without even inspecting their tanks, or actually teaching them how to use them].

Gotta say I am a fan of team C, just something kind of awesome about them.

Why aren't these the main characters? Especially this girl.

@ Ingraman

ok that was funny.

funny the crew that dropped a tread didn't return covered from head to toe in grease and mud after having to wrestle the hundreds of pounds of metal back into place. so it could be re-thread back onto the wheels.

have you ever heard of ANY navy so lax about whats aboard?

I don't think it's a navy. It seems to be a city-state aboard a monster ship sort of like the one in Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere.

In both cases the anime gets very careless with scale. In Panzer you get wide open fields and lakes and deep forests and mountains and parking lots and shopping districts and residential neighborhoods all on the top of what seems to be an aircraft carrier about 2KM long. Oh, and a school with warehouses for tanks and a practice field that somehow gets ignored for years.

These animes are all about creating peculiar situations. Any resemblance to reality is strictly incidental.

even so. there would pretty much need to be someone running the ship beyond a mayoral group. the topside may be a huge city/suburbia but the other 80% is a ship. no i don't expect reality "At All" just kind of gaping at the total lack of it.
