| not interesting :( |

| Wow, those are some really bad character designs. |
     |
| Looks like it'll be crap. |
| *facepalm* |
 |
| No thanks |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Well why not. Sure I'll go with this I guess. The trailer said 2012 so probably Fall? We're lucky if we get it in Summer. |

TehYGuy said: So it's "Upotte!!" but with tanks instead of guns. It's cute but that's not saying much. Though I still might check this out. That was certainly my first thought as well. But yeah I'll probably like this as well. Upotte isnt bad so =) |

| There is only one proper place for a Panzer: Crushed under the treads of an M4 Sherman or a T-34. |

Let's drop M4 Sherman from this sentence and I would agree (they had problems with dealing with PzKpfw IV not to mention Panther or Tiger) - but to see some T-34 in series and it would be awesome. |
| No "tanks". I'm quite "new" to anime, but really, did we always get this shit pouring on us? I mean for real, cockroach girl anime and now girls with tanks? Why not simply make it a mecha? |

The M4 Sherman only really had trouble dealing with Panzer IV models starting with the Ausf. F2 and Ausf. G due to the increased armor and improved main gun. In the promo video, the tank that the protagonists use is clearly one of the earlier-model Panzer IVs (most likely an Ausf. E) due to the short-barreled main gun. Considering how poorly the early Panzer IVs did against the Sherman in North Africa, the gist of my previous statement still stands. |

| Mixed feelings about this. |
 |
| stupid title, still looking forward to it though |
| Fuck yeah TANKS! Oh boy, I can't wait for this to air. |

jmal said: Immahnoob said: Why not simply make it a mecha? How does this suggestion even make sense? "It has large vehicles in it, therefore it should be mecha", is that it? And what, it wouldn't be "shit", as you so "eloquently" put it, if they were piloting mobile suits instead of driving tanks? I've got a better question: "Why not simply ignore shows you aren't interested in?" Who would be interested in Tanks anyways? They're slow, bulky and need you to aim for hours. Who likes watching grannies fight each other? Who likes watching tanks destroy each other? Think, man, use your brain. |

jmal said: Immahnoob said: Who would be interested in Tanks anyways? They're slow, bulky and need you to aim for hours. An exaggeration, and totally irrelevant to a fictional anime anyway, where how the technology is portrayed is limited only by what the writer wants to do. And the question isn't "Who is interested in tanks", it's "Who is interested in the juxtaposition of cute girls piloting large tanks", and that's definitely me. Whether or not I'd watch girls and mecha (I would, and have) is a completely different question and not relevant at all to this show. Might as well ask why they're not captaining spaceships, or driving race cars, or flying planes, or sailing ships - because they're just not, and you can watch other shows if you want to see other things. The question is empty and meaningless. Think, man, use your brain. I don't want to hear this from someone who posts nonsense then follows it up with more nonsense. It's just that Tanks have nothing to add except tank fights which are boring after like what... Two episodes? I'd only watch if it has Ecchi, or at least if they add some battles between infantry, but I suppose it's a school where they learn how to pilot tanks. You can watch whatever you want, but seriously, tanks? They can even avoid this and stop making it already, sounds boring as fuck and I'm just saying this because I thought I could make you and others not waste 20 min of their life o.o. |

And you're basing this on, what, your extensive experience with tank-piloting bishoujo anime? ...Oh wait, no you're not. You can watch whatever you want, but seriously, tanks? They can even avoid this and stop making it already, sounds boring as fuck and I'm just saying this because I thought I could make you and others not waste 20 min of their life o.o. Kindly refrain from trying to convince me not to watch things I've already expressed interest in. If I want your opinion on a show, I'll ask. And either way I will decide for myself whether it's a waste or not. OH? So there are OTHER? WHY isn't HUMANITY learning from their MISTAKES? OH NO! |

| Well, Girls und Panzer literally translates to Girls and Tanks, and loved the PV. This'll be interesting. |

lordzeru said: Confucius said: Original TV Anime 'Girls und Panzer' Doesn't look that original... This. If you guys have already seen titles that uses the formula of moe girls driving large tanks in a competition against other moe girls driving large tanks, name it and I'll gladly agree with you. |

Immahnoob said: Who would be interested in Tanks anyways? They're slow, bulky and need you to aim for hours. Oh god, the ignorance burns my eyes out. Just read this thread (NSFW) and find out why tanks are superior to mecha in almost every way. And tracked tanks aren't freaking slow at all. In fact due to physics, given the same level of technology, they are faster than any mech due to simplicity. |

| In the words of Eru: Watashi, Kininarimasu The PV hooked me in. Cute girls with tanks? Sign me up. Was hoping for strike witches with tanks but this will do :D |

But at least being in a slight RANGE of REALISM would be nice. Tanks. Are. Not. Better. Than. Mecha. In. Anime. And I'm not even a mecha fan and I still know better. |

Anyway, it's fine and understandable if you don't find tanks cool or interesting enough. Anime hardly ever portrays tanks in a flattering light anyway, partially thanks to its extensive history in glorifying giant humanoid robots. I don't expect Girls und Panzer to show tanks zooming around like cars either. But "Who would be interested in Tanks anyways?" Well, for one, I love the contrasting juxtaposition of cute girls with military weapons, particularly when the tech isn't too far off from modern technology. I'm also interested in just seeing tanks in the anime spotlight for once, since mecha has been done before a lot. Girls und Panzer will probably be educational in an entertaining way, too. Modern and historical tanks may not be as cool as futuristic robots, but there's potential in using them as a theme. |

Whatever is moe gets to me. But it's okay if you partially agree o.o. That it's not that great (may not be as cool, to quote you). |

| This series looks disgusting. What sick mind came up with the idea of making an anime about high school girls and a panzer 4 tank, a tank that caused so much death and destruction during the second world war. how dare the creators trivialise such a horrific symbol of destruction and try to cash in on its image. i mean whats next "Girl und Auschwitz", "Girls und Hitler" |
| what I was trying to say was that this series is clearly just trying to appeal to people who like watching anime`s with high school girls in them (wank bait) and also to weapon Otaku so that it make as much money as possible by selling crappy merchandise. And they don't care how they do it, they just choose a tank that they thought people would recognise without even considering the moral and ethical choices of showing it as long as they can make as much money as possible while tricking idiots into thinking that this is an original, clever idea when in fact its a morally misguided, mish-mash of ideas that have been done a hundred times before. My point about the "Girl und Auschwitz" was not that this series was going to be "extolling the virtues of the Final Solution" but rather that if series`s like this keep getting made and making money where will it end? how long before they`ve run out of places to stick high school girls and think " hey you know what would be funny, we take a bunch of high school girls and put them in the Third Reich, we`ll make millions! I know im exaggerating a little but im not getting pissed off just because they took one tank from world war 2 and that offends me somehow, its how blatantly their just using the image to make money by slapping a bunch of good looking girls next to a tank that people recognise in the hopes fools will watch it. |
| i think we`re getting a little to philosophical about this and your right i dont know much about the show, i can only go on what i have seen and who knows maybe it`ll be great, i doubt it but you never now i understand that animes are essentially a business and that they are trying to make money that's obvious but its a little to busineesy at this point to where its almost a façade. they`re just slapping together elements of stuff that's worked before and shoving it into this in the hopes of making a quick profit. Why does the story have to be about teenage girls, because their popular and make money, why is it set in a high school, because thats relate-able , popular and makes money. Its not the showing of the tank that's the problem, its the context, thats the difference between say "Crosses of Iron" and this anime, where its obvious their just using the image of the tank to try to make money. if this was a deep thought provoking story with really creativity and passion then id be fine with them showing any Tank or weapon but when its obvious that its just being used as a cheap marketing gimmick then im sorry to tell you but its wrong. if you want to make a silly anime about high school girls and tanks that fine, but use a generic looking tank, why even bring the Nazi element into it at all, it makes no sense? why not for example have an anime about a group of people who live in a world that has been at war for hundreds of years to the point where technology has devolved and the fighting is now done with primitive weapons. then this group of people in a Gurren Lagann sort of way discover an old working tank, figure out how to use and try to end the war or something. a little change would be nice now and again you know, throw in some memorable characters a few plot twists and some thought provoking episodes and boom you've got a winner, its not rocket science. this show is just following the same old formula High school girls+ mecha = Infinite Stratos High school girls+ flying = Strike Witches High school girls+ magic = Shugo Chara! High school girls+ zombies = High school of the dead High school girls+ Tanks = Girls Und Panzer and those are just the ones off the top of my head, there's a lot more out there and until people realise this then creativity and originality are as good as dead. |
