Am I the only one who is wondering about this?
The girls are going to shoot each other with the tanks. Well...they're gonna be dead then.
Maybe I am missing something, like they don't use "real" ammunition?
Please help me XD
According to the rules Simbv posted
Real ammunition, but regulated by the association.
Although modern modification to the tank is forbidden, the cockpit itself is modified to a safety standard to keep the crew safe.

So maybe a combination of weaker ammunition and stronger shell inside.
Shooting human are also against the rule of engagement and they did hide inside when the shooting starts.

I need less german in my subs tho...

Except none of the girls in the anime are LOLI's at all.

I didn't originally expect much, but it pleasantly surprised me!

It was really weird though to see german words pop out every now and then in the subs, now I do speak german, but it just looked wrong to me. Anywho, they can do whatever they want.

Good intro, nice animation, great plot, likeable characters with brain. ^____^

I thought this was going to be another Upotte. Seems that is not the case.

The student president has a godlike personality.

Also, Commie subs for bloody ever. German is the greatest language ever.

En route for a 6 or 7. Maybe 8 if it gets really good.

As a ww2 history buff this has got to be my dream anime... Really hope they end up advancing through different types of tanks or upgrade their orignal. From say the Panzer 4, to an up-gunned and then the Panther, Tiger and finally King Tiger. Looking good so far ^.^

It's shaping up pretty good or not yet. Depending on how you take the development it might work out or it might not give you what you expected. I suggest to check it out by mid series to see if it works out for you.

What a weird premise.

I was expecting something like an updated version of Dominion Tank Police so I'm a bit dissapointed but I'll give it a couple of more episodes. As a WWII otaku I kinda have too.

I found it funny as hell that the Vice-president of the student council had a only half of her glasses, making her look like one of those german generals that wore monocles.

I don't know what the English fansub said, but in Japanese she said Tenrin 転輪 which means the Tread Wheels.

This wasn't bad at all! Very original and the Higurashi art is pretty fitting actually.

Them forcing her to pick up Panzerfahren was kinda cruel, but it was to be expected she'd give in anyway. I didn't expect the whole city to be on a juggernaut of a ship though! Holy hell!

Commie's added German (even on the v2) got a little annoying, even though I understand it.

I will have to to use much suspension of disbelief to watch this, since at the start a lot seemed like a pretty normal moe world setting and not that unusual then they kick in:

"Senshado/tankwando is the old martial arts for girls" Ok...
A big f**king carrier with a town on it. Ok...

And the ED showed the big baddies at the end of the team montage, I bet they are germans. What else can they be. :)

Not a good start, not exactly a bad start. The characters seem okay, although some don't seem too bad (I'll have to wait to see more of each character as the series progresses). I like the tanks as well as the uniforms and the concept, though. I'm just really disappointed that in the first episode there was no action besides the intro.. Not much to say except that I hope there will be more tank warfare later. I do like the German phrases since it's different, although it makes me think about what they are saying, so it's annoying at the same time.

I found Upotte terminally creepy and dropped it quite quickly. This show is just a hoot and if it keeps on like this epiisode I can see watching the whole season. The highlight had to be the sepia-toned WWII vintage newsreel extolling the virtues of Senshado. It had a certain "Strength through Joy" vibe that I liked. And that pink Grant....

Also forget the Tigers, according to the WWII rules we may get to see a JSII or JSIII in action--now those were Tanks!

An absurd plot with a brutally forced girl doing... tankery (who will predictably end up liking it again).

Even the main attraction of tanks has lousy cgi.

Here is a tip to all Commie sub watchers. If you feel like being disgusted by the sudden addition of German words, you can always go to the taskbar, find the icon which belongs to the media which you are watching from.(For me, I use media video classic.) Then you will see some S: something. This is used to Switch the subs. Now, you should be able to see another option called "S: No Fun allowed". Select that, and have fun watching the show with most words in English..... Oh wait... By meaning of fun, I mean watching it in English. Don't call the "No Fun police".

Luckily, I understand Japanese so I can bear with Commie subs.
It's not too difficult to figure out what they're saying, though. It's usually just one German word at a time.

Nobody seems to realize that the commie version has TWO subtitle tracks inside, idiots!
This show isn't good so far, the CGI at the beginning looked ugly and really choppy. At least render it properly. Commie's subs make this decent though, those random German words make me rofl every time.
And apparently they're talking in a wanna-be German-ish accent.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

From the looks of it. The student council president is forcing Miho because she's the only student in the school who's well experience in Sensha-dou? Plus, it runs in her family.

That was a pretty crazy dream she had at the start... or was it? Driving away in a tank with the hatch open while you're being fired at with rock shards flying everywhere...

I laughed when her two new friends suddenly came up with excuses to join her in the infirmary. And the teacher allowed them to join her! Miho reminds me a lot of Saki from the Saki series.

It has a rather incredulous premise which makes the anime hard to take seriously, but I have to concede that it is an unusual concept. Now I just need to find that suspension of disbelief I used to get through Strike Witches...

Also, that aircraft carrier...
