| Symbv, thanks for pointing out that earlier post. Thank you also to entropy13 for doing the translation. But I don't get this rule: 2-02 制限車輛數 各チムの競技車輛數は各識合ごとに聯盟が指定する制限車輛數 を上回つてはならない﹒ etc. 各 each チム team の 's 競技 competition 車輛 vehicle 數 number は 各識合ごとに must (for each team) conform to 聯盟が the Association's 指定する specification of 制限車輛數 the number of vehicles を 上回つて exceed はならない﹒ must not This is the rule about the limitation on the number of tanks that each team can use. From my limited ability to read Japanese, apparently all it says is that the number of tanks is limited by the Association, but it isn't more specific. It seems crazy to let 10 M4 Shermans fight against the 5 Ooarai tanks. So how could the Association approve that? In Episode 5 I think I remember Miho saying that there was a limit of ten tanks per team. |

In Episode 5 I think I remember Miho saying that there was a limit of ten tanks per team. 但し、一方が制限数を下回る場合であっても試合は成立するものとする Translation: However, when one side has fewer number (of tanks) than the limit, the match will still go ahead. In anime, I think the characters also talked about that in the cafe, that the limit is 10 tanks and Saunders is rich enough to deploy 10 (in fact a lot more) so they have to face 10 tanks. It just goes to show how rich schools are advantaged in this senshado tournament. Or we can lament how poor our heroines' school is... BTW, for the first part of the 2-02 rule, the translation would go: 2-02 Vehicle Number Limit The total number of the vehicles sent to the match by each team cannot be more than the number limit of vehicles set by the Association for the specific match. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| ^ Thank you Symbv. I should have read the fine print. |
| The thing that fascinates me the most is to know the meaning of this small part: "giveout" #2 the left-most white column the bottom 25% of the page |
| ^ Those text beneath the HUGE TEXT saying 強さと賢さ ? Those are some comments from Shiho Nishizumi, the head of the Nishizumi School of Senshado (and I presume she is the mother of Miho). |

| ^ Yes. That part. Right down to the bottom of the page. Indeed, that is Miho's and Maho's mom according to Japanese Wikipedia. So I am quite curious about what she has to say. |

| The official Twitter released a bunch of trivia information about Ep.5: - What is the reason Saori got to end mails from her mobile phone to other tanks in her team? It is because she is fast in thumbing mails on her phone (check Ep.3) - Kay indeed does not know radio interception is going on. - Since Kay likes to be leading the battle from the front, she decided not to make her tank as the "flag tank". - The battle of Saunders vs Ooarai is fought on an island, and the island's shape is modeled after the Awaji Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awaji_Island However, the vegetation or built-up areas are all changed in the anime. - There will be an OVA about the events happened after the espionage and the actual battle against the Saunders and this will be included in the BD. - The meeting room in the Saunders and the pathways that Akiyama made her escape were modeled after the inside of the Hyuga helicopter-destroyer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hy%C5%ABga_class_helicopter_destroyer - The idea of Akiyama sneaked into the Saunders to spy on their team came from Director Mizushima. - Those plastic model tanks in Akiyama's room were not done by CG, as usually the case, but was done by hand-drawn animation. - We decided that the Akiyama's Barber is not doing very good business, so we got her dad to sit on a customer's seat when Miho and the girls came in. - Akiyama watches the Senshado's tournament final (only the final is broadcast on TV) every year. - The notebook that the waitress in the Panzer Cafe used to write down orders is modeled after the notebook used by the Germany Army. - Near the end of ep.4, there is a chart for all the schools entering the senshado tournament. All the names for those schools which will lose in the first round were Director Mizushima's idea. |

| I loved the sgt oddball reference. Am i the only one who gets a hard on from this series? |
私のホバークラフトはウナギでいっぱいです。 |
| haha. that was a very good tactic.. it feels like i was just watching it in 10mins.. that was so fast ;) |
| Love the attention to detail in this series. It was cool to see the cheer leaders in the stands and just all the fans, it really is like a sport in this universe. It was also cool that Yukari apparently had a real life uniform on to sneak into the school. Cool battle scene as well. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| "Hey girls, it's a spy!" Yukari's persistence with vital questions blew her cover. A smart enemy would do to change their plans after a spy was found, but it seems they didn't. That was a good running battle. I liked how the last match wasn't so one sided. Hoping this one also doesn't become a curbstomp battle later on. |
| Yukari was awesome this episode. The spy mission was great |
 |
| Not gonna lie I thought it was pretty awesome how the orders were delivered in the restaurant in the beginning of the episode. |
| wow! a bunch of loli into tanks, how often do you find lolis like that |
 |
| Infiltration <3 |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
Marow said: Infiltration <3 her Infiltration made me laugh :D, shes a bit dumb, if ur spy u need to lay low & avoid attention, that's why its funny |

| Nice development I really like these battles! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| Who would've thought girls driving tanks could actually be this intense? Awesome episode, loved every second of it. |
| Panzer VOR! Miho's sister is a bit@#.Now they discovered their trick so i hope they win. Btw this is getting really interesting. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| using cellphones instead of the radio to communicate genius XD |
| The tank restaurant looks amazing. I really hope there is a restaurant just like it in real life. |
| 5/5 Episode very exciting, the battle has an interesting look. Very nice, well-balanced narrative. The tanks are made really well and the sounds are very realistic. Fortunately not resolved the conflict in one episode but is divided into two parts, I like it. The characters are interesting and yet again more marked, especially Yukari. This TV series, although Seeing her again, still manages to engage me as if for the first time. |
 |
| Well, Yukari sneaking into Saunders was pretty cool, so higher points than usual. no_good_name said: Am i the only one who gets a hard on from this series? wut |

| That was some sick espionage :) |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Not sure why that chick who is obsessed with tankary went to a school without tankary. Jesus! That was a funny moment. |
 |
| That moment when Yukari is about to change into the Saunders uniform in front on the camera and realizes just in time what she's doing is priceless. "Oops, no, this is not THAT kind of video." |
 |
| Damn fine episode! The covert surveillance was hilarious and I can't wait to see how they do in this battle! Shoot, I was gonna go to bed now, but I gotta see the next ep! |
 |
on 
| Why is this so fun to watch?! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| That spy scene was so hilarious. Her perm was the real reason not the tanks! |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Episode that leaves nothing behind: it carries on the main story and in the meantime continues to build the characters, this time it's up to Akiyama, but the narrative shows us, in addition, also another side of his character, good. The battle between floats proves, once again, to be very interesting and engaging. |
 |
| The tank fights in this show are super fun I just wish this series was longer lol |
| Ayo hold up where did her sister come from bro this show is throwing some curveballs eh? BASED quiet girl igniting the flame. Spend more time protecting your ego than improving your skills eh. I see you, manipulative sister. Would be quite the shame if you got embarrassed in front of everyone in battle. Think I might have found my best girl already. Mako FTW! Yukari is my favorite YouTuber. I can't wait for the next episode where she infiltrates another school. Hopefully she collabs with Jay Station next time around Dude these Saunders girls trio presenting the next match are pretty cute. Especially the one with freckles on the right. Dang, I take it back, there are too many characters that qualify for "best girl" being thrown at me! These two exact freckled girls are fully introduced later in the episode, and dare I say, sakuga character acting begins. Also, I love "cool" characters that insert English dialogue into their speech. Sonic the Hedgehog-type stuff. |

| Pretty intense battle. I hope our main cuties are going to win this. |

| Okay, I'm starting to seriously get attached to this anime. There's so much heart put into the SoL portions that I'm having to remind myself how goofy the premise is when it goes back to being campy. HuBTheTaxMan said: I shouldn't nit pick a show where the premise is cute girls in tanks, but ten on 5 seems a little silly. Don't give me that all is fare in love and war faggotry either b/c its a sport. Also Sherman College High, wut? Eh, it's not as wacky as it sounds at the high school level. Personally, it reminds me of my high school tennis days. My school was the only one in the league that couldn't so much as be assed to provide its own tennis court, so of course the schools that had 8 or more of their own could accommodate way larger teams. Our bottom-rung JV was matched against such schools' B-team varsity frequently just so they'd have someone new to play against. |
| The first match of the tournament gets underway, and of course, Saunders goes gung-ho right of the bat. Wouldn't be American without an all-out assault, Shermans and all, hehe. Ten against five. Seems fair, lol. I can't blame the Sanders team for "cheating"-if you can call it that- cause Yukari technically did the same for Ooarai. If it ain't in the rulebook, does that count as cheating? Anyway, the intelligence has backfired on them. I'm loving the camera work during combat and the tank's movement overall. Really improves the experience. |

| And this, is why we don't wired tap everything America |
 |
| Do the authors of this anime sympathize with the Nazis? their waitresses wear ss uniforms! how does Hana get money for such treats if she is a schoolgirl and does not work? 3/5 |
| quite epic. i mean i heard good things of this show but this is still surprisingly interesting and good |
