Heard this on the World of Tanks forum.

Being quite interested in the machines of WWII I decided that I must watch this.

Someone posted pvs on wot forums, and after watching them I knew I must watch G&P. Hell, even some community coordinators on EU forum say that this anime was inspired by wot.

The anime has made me want to go back to playing WoT.

Honestly, the show was probably comissioned as one giant advertisement for the game.

I am the reverse. I tried WoT since I heard people talking about this WoT everywhere they are talking about GuP, so bad. I'm not really saying I play WoT because I am watching GuP, since I personally have interest in historical weapons and stuff, so it is quite natural for me to get interested in both. I just happened to know WoT after I know GuP.

I don't think Wargaming.net are involved in this anime. If it was the case in would have beens in the news section of the forum not in off-topic. If they were involved in it, they would have advertize it.

Of course, because I play WoT, I like tanks. I find it cool to recognize the various tank, it's true but I think we don't have the same vision of tank warfare and the tank tactics are a bit lame imo.

It's not ecchi but it is moe with all that goes with it. So it's not great but it's ok imo

If Sentai Filmworks and Wargaming.net are up to it, they could try enclosing World of Tanks promo codes in the Girls und Panzer Blu-rays and DVDs when they're finally released in the States. Gold, premium account time, maybe a free premium tank, the works.

Actually what I was thinking was of maybe a world tournament using those tanks in the specific teams in the show. And they should release special editions of the Garupan tanks in the game. Garupan can repay the favour by showing schools training with World-of-Tanks-esque computer simulation games in the anime.

BTW:

I have long wondered though... has anyone actually asked the staff what they think about World of Tanks? At least one Dev from Wargaming.net (The Chieftain, who's Wargaming.net's military expert, best known for his The Chieftain's Hatch articles on World of Tanks) is known to watch the show, so wondering about the other side of the coin.

The BGM on World of Tanks is based of the Russian folk song "Polyushka Polye", which is the same song the BGM in Girls Und Panzer adapted. Many of WoT's songs are in fact adapted from classic Russian tunes.

Just listen to this song, and tell me it doesn't sound familiar.

Ehem, ehem.

We (wot players and Polish community manager rishyu) are working on a historical battle - St. Gloriana vs Ooarai!

Due to lack of japanese tree, we will replace type 89 with some other tank (possibly D2 or Vickers Mk I), I also have absolutely no idea if this will be a reconstruction or a normal battle using GuP lineups.

There's a high chance that it will be recorded and posted on youtube. ^^

So I might spend the three month delay finishing up a little project involving a game with tanks. Unlike that other tank game, the Type 89 is playable.

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.

I refer to this show as Saki of Tanks (Saki + World of Tanks) since episode 04 but i think I'll have to change it a bit to emphasize light-hearted mood (yes, it's much more carefree and silly than Saki, there's less fanservice too. It's more realistic though).

It's hard to believe Commie makes the show better when they shoehorn a reference in (World of Tanks, Winston Churchill, Hitler etc.) while missing the actual references in the show (DD-Tanks, "Nuts!", "All's fair in love and war").

IIRC they got the last one right. It should be pretty obvious that creators of GuP play WoT (I showed the series my friend yesterday and he immediately thought of WoT when he saw the battles) and had to use vague statement because of copyright. That's the same thing as correcting names of airport etc. in Space Brothers. Hitler was part of Übermensch stylization.

I dropped Commie in the 2nd episode when they completely screwed up the part when Ami was talking about Miho's mother.

When my listening Japanese comprehension is better than the translation, it makes you wonder what they are missing.

AFAIK most Japanese WoT players are in my server, WoT SEA. And the foremost Japanese clan (SDRHB, or "SD Rahab") is part of the vile Central Alliance. They're treated with just grudging respect partly, but mostly with hatred. Much like how Allied commanders treat Waffen-SS commanders. They've been good militarily (they're good in playing WoT), but they're still SS (they're still Central Alliance).

There are some in other, smaller clans though...like "JapaneseArmy" being part of some other clan LOL.


And there are a lot of GuP related usernames in WoT now. LOL

"Historical" battle St. Gloriana vs Ooarai



Ooarai was pretty undergunned, but still, my Matilda was usually left with only a few HP. After 2 battles, we agreed that they can use some upgrades - best guns on pz4 and stug. Soooo, the last battle (on serene coast) was tough (we were taken by surprise, Ooarai was firing from a ridge on our right flank) and... Lolworthy - due to comments and some stunts (like churchill doing kamikaze death from above on stug).

And Gloriana lost the last one...

All in all, it was fun!

Next one - Saunders vs Pravda!
