nseika said: From her flashback though, could it be that she lost her friend in an incident there My guess is that this show is deep down light-hearted so I think we will not see death in this anime, kind of like the other anime which has a large ensemble of female cast doing military thing i.e. Strike Witches. But some kind of injury or shock resulted from some action / mission may be involved, again like Strike Witches. This may cause the trauma we see in Miho. According to what was shown, my guess is that she by mistake bumped into a Tiger at close distance and was hurt/shocked quite badly as a result. |
| 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 would love to see some more "exotic" constructions, with my fav A7V - entire class would be needed to operate that thing. |
| Well, pretty interesting, good chars. I'm not a fan of tanks though, and the animation felt kinda off at some parts. |
 |
| i approved this... weird.. really weird story... but i think its interesting.. with good fanservice and tanks.. yeah i love tanks.. so i will continue watch this.. on another note... commie subs is godly..... |

| Well, it was a little bit meh. Can be a pretty ejoyable series though when it gets to some tank action. I hope someone other than Commie pick it up though, the German all over the place was annoying and really took from the experience for me, it totallly didn't fit like it was probably supposed to. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| I was expecting it to be bad. And also, that it would be worse than I thought. And then what? It comes out even worse! |
 |
| LOL i actually really loved this one! it reminds me of upotte ( which i dropped like half an episode in due to feeling more like a podoefile than i usually do when watching anime) but it isnt psuedo-hentai ( at least not yet) and i actually find it funny. The subs made it so much better as well. Does anyone know what sub group put in all the German words? I have a feeling this is going to be one of those that i watch until it settles down and gets a little boring then pick up when its finished. p.s *Starts ending establishing shot* oh well that was a nice anim-" *Shows aircraft carrier town* "WHAT THE SH!T!!! I-I-IT... It's the size of a mainland city...Well that just makes it ten times better..." |
| i got some Saki vibe from that episode. |
| Jesus Commie's subs practically ruined this episode. Anyone who feeds off that crap.... Fun serious. |
| The subs I watched randomly squeezed in german words and it got really annoying IMO... apart from that, the show was to be expected, nothing new 6/10. |

As a German, I found the mixed translations to be funny (most of the words were correctly used as well). And this series is such a load of bs that I can't help but to find it awesome. I mean...Mädchen und Panzer. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| ...It's interesting...but...o.o |
 |
| hrmmmm.... this is one of those shows that can go great or horridly bad, no middle grounds. will stick for a couple eps more to see whats up |
 |
| Awful, but Commie made it good for a laugh. IZEROII said: Jesus Commie's subs practically ruined this episode. Wrong. They were the only thing that made it worth watching. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| A promising start, it seems better than upotte at least (as if anything wouldn't). If we get some good tank battles it will be enjoyable, but we will see. Some of the character designs look pretty nice too. I like that they included the StuG III, one of my favourites of WWII. And it looked gloriously ridiculous with the banners and the paintjob. Didn't have a problem with Commie's subs. Even though my german (let alone japanese) is very lacking, I was able to understand what they were talking about, and it did give a nice touch to the show. as long as the tanks get more screentime than cute girls doing cute stuff, I'll probably keep watching this. Have to see a couple more episodes before I'm decided though. EDIT: Oh, and I'll be disappointed if we don't see a t-34 in the show. |

Minor nit pick, but if we're going to go for that kind of thing, I think you mean the Mauss. German tanks were named after large felines, not people who designed firearms :P As for those looking for some nice vehicle identification: Pink: US M3 Grant/Lee The opposing tanks in the opening were already identified as a Churchill leading 4 Matilda II's. Some fun facts about the tanks depicted: -The Churchill was the replacement for the Matilda II, which was woefully undergunned even at the start of the war (37mm 2 pounder) and could not be up-gunned. -The Matilda and Churchill series were infantry support tanks, and thus had no need of being any faster than men on foot. Miho's Panzer IV is almost twice as fast as them -The StuG III would typically not be operating alongside tanks. They were employed by the artillery arm -The Panzer IV was designed primarily to provide fire support, not for tank-VS-tank engagement. However, in 1940, its short 75mm gun was the only German tank cannon that could take out a Matilda II (albeit at close range). However, it had better growth potential than the Panzer III, and long-barreled versions entered service in 1942 to counter the T-34. -The M3 was a stopgap measure as they were designing the turret for the M4 Sherman. It was basically an enlarged M3 Stuart light tank with a 75mm gun stuck into the hull. It was extremely successful in North Africa because it had better range and firepower than the tanks Rommel had access to - he never got appreciable numbers of the long-barreled Panzer IVF-2 or G. -The Type 89, like almost all Japanese tanks, was a support vehicle intended for use against poorly equipped infantry. It would not be effective against even light tanks from most other nations, and was quite vulnerable to antitank weapons. Of course, the Chinese kind of lacked both of those. |

| They use panzer because it sound like pantsu :O |
| . |
| City on an enormous aircraft carrier. Didn't expect that. And whoever subbed this should just stick to English. I know it has "und Panzer" in the title but that does not mean you can just shove random German up the ENGLISH subtitles' ass. So STOP IT. |

| cute girls and tanks and troll ass subs?! glad this is out early in the week when there's barely anything to watch seems better then Upotte! though,story :S being a panzer = being a ideal women whaa??.. gonna watch this seeing as it seems to be a show you have to into with the right mindset lol let's just tag this as another *WTF Japan!* plus dat city is on the ship!. |
 |
| It was an Ok episode, the animation was really good the tanks look nice |
| Although, seeing the ending, the mainland city is still many times bigger than the carrier. symbv said: Hope so. There's anough share of emotional anime this season.My guess is that this show is deep down light-hearted so I think we will not see death in this anime, kind of like the other anime which has a large ensemble of female cast doing military thing i.e. Strike Witches. But some kind of injury or shock resulted from some action / mission may be involved, again like Strike Witches. This may cause the trauma we see in Miho. According to what was shown, my guess is that she by mistake bumped into a Tiger at close distance and was hurt/shocked quite badly as a result. Just worried because the story in that manga about Miho's elementary school years. |
| I got as far as the first 20 seconds or so (when the horribly-camouflaged unit on the cliff moved out and stopped watching as soon as I saw the tanks: -A pink Lee -A gold Panzer 38(t) -A red, white, blue, and gold StuG III covered in flags. -A tan Type 89, probably the closest thing to an actual combat-ready tank, except for it being a Type 89. No thanks. |
| I'm dead. Don't come looking for me. |
| Show of the season. |

| Troll subs were actually pretty funny, plus I kinda learned some German from it. Kinda. As for the anime itself, pretty average so far. I admit, that floating fortress town completely caught me off guard. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I always love to watch something stupid but new and fun rather than your generic shounnen, ecchi, harem etc....So I found this anime is amusement. BTW, recently I have read a manga with the setting: " girl and battleship", make me lolz so hard. |
Kurano said: Troll subs were actually pretty funny, plus I kinda learned some German from it. Kinda. As for the anime itself, pretty average so far. I admit, that floating fortress town completely caught me off guard. Lol commie? I used Hiryuu's subs. As for the show lolwut. Looks like Miho has some bad history in the tanks from her past. Judging by the tank falling in the water, etc. |
 |
| ill give this 2 more episode to see if this goes anywhere, and did they mess up that girls glasses? for some reason that really bother me. |
| Wtf's with the subs... streamed it so I didn't know which group was it. A nice episode :D Kept me entertained since I'm not doing anything at the time. Good OP theme too~ I'm guessing that ED is the OP theme for the rest of the eps. |
| Did anyone other then me suddenly think, Jesus someone played wayy too much World of Tanks? Lol |

Guten-da! F**K what's with the German subtitle? No, you're wrong, girls in school uniform shouldn't be there in the first place. There were young girls driving thanks in WW2 I think at some points but never mentioned really. And Kudos to the tank infos. It's all pretty much spot on. The threads shall be gun indeed. I need my KINGTIGER tank. |
Shachou said: They use panzer because it sound like pantsu :O In fact the nickname used in Japan is GirlPan LOL LOL LOL Many seem to be taken aback by how the tanks are operated wrongly from history but let's not forget that it is "senshado" not really tank battles. As I said before the idea seems to come from Naginata-do (a halberd-like pole-knife weapon) where the martial arts are formalized in different rules and the use of the Naginata is not the same as how it was historically used in real combat. So all those no-nos like colored tanks, uniforms, lack of combined arms like infantry or artillery, or mixing self-propelled guns with tanks are not really a problem in Senshado. BTW, here is a cropping of the tournament rules of Senshado http://blog-imgs-51.fc2.com/y/a/r/yaraon/pp_20121009224436.jpg |

| Interesting RoE So the tank, parts, ammunition and armours must all be approved by the consortium. Tanks used must be manufactured or designed before the end of WW2. Also, no targeting human or already disabled tank. |
| When will people realize that you're supposed to completely turn your brain off for this? xD |
| Im sorry but there's a limit on my brain for the amount of garbage intake for the period of my life 50% rl stuff, 5% anime, 5% on family,35% my better half and 5% useless stuff. This exceeds my 5% useless stuff by 25% and as such have corrupted brain cells. Commie version of this hurt my brain so much they made a horrible choice using german terms for a japanese anime translation. It was just too retarded to read and understand that certain words should have remained in english and omg the spelling of those german words were just horrid. No reason to be surprised for me to continue watching this because I've been corrupted by how bad it was that you just can't stop watching. Sorry if this comes as a hurt to FBs of this show but i hope all the characters would all take cannons to the guts and die. Then maybe I can recommend to my friends that it was awesome. 'Sigh' so many things wrong with this anime on many different levels. BTW the fan-service SUCKS! |
