| Cute girls doing cute things...with tanks?!?. I don't care if its "moe-shit," I'm down. If anything, this seems like it's going down the "Sora no Woto" route rather than the "Strike Witches" route. |

It's funny that he actually took his time to say that. |

| Here's a magazine scan |
 |
Original TV Anime 'Girls und Panzer' Doesn't look that original... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Tanks are moe |
| Ok™ |
| Looks like we'll be watching another version of "Upotte!!" again later on. |
 |
| Whoa German words, must in innovative and original. |

| Character design looks kinda weak especially when compairing it to other 2012 shows. I don't expect much from this. |

| "Director Mizushima said the anime doesn't show Pantsu." Way to kill your target demographics expectations off the bat. |
 |
| is this aka upotte s2 or what? |
| 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. |

 |
| achtung moe panzer! and the girls will use german ww2 ace such as kurt krispel, otto carius, wittman, etc |
| Hana or Asako look perfect for Mamiko Noto. |

| "school military battle action anime" will see!!! |
| Sounds good on paper, now if the characters weren't moes than I would be sold |
 |

     |
| This show obviously needs Hanazawa Kana. |
 |
| Art is above average but the lack of ecchi is going to kill ratings and definitely sales even Dog Days had a moderate amount of ecchi and the side story manga has a lot of it, also Upotte has fanservice and some pretty explicit moments (Sako fapping with juices coming out). |
 |
| This looks.... extremely lame. |
McRib said: Tanks are moe Hell yeah. |
| Looks as bad as SoRaNoWoTo Dunno. Might not watch it. |

On that note, as painful as it is to say it, if you're going to rely on fan-service, might as well go full out with it to please that particular demographic. |
|
| The character design is kinda bland for me, but I might give it a go. |
| Looks alright, I guess. |
| PzKpfw IV in promo art - that is good Takaaki Suzuki in the production crew - that is AWESOME (he is the guy resposible for historical details in Strike Witches and Upotte - and they are very nice in both) most certainly will check it! plus if it turns up to be like Sora no woto - I would love it, as this series was amazing |
| Moe tanks... how interesting. |
| School military sounds awes- >Blood-C director NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE. |
 |
| No, please, no more moe-incarnations. Sora no Woto could be described as moe too, but IMO not completely since the character design wasn't so moefied as it is in these days. But I don't think it could it could be equally good as Sora no Woto. Probably won't watch this. |
| ...I can actually see myself watching this at some point, but I will probably wait until it finishes airing first to see if it is worth my time. And yeah, it would be nice if it was a better version of Sora no Woto, but I don't see that happening. I could still watch it for mindless fluff, though. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| doesn't look terribly exciting, but with the director of xxxholic and blood-c working on it, maybe there's hope.... |
 |
| Don't know if want, chara-design isn't that good, and "school military battle action anime" with moe girls isn't in my taste. |
  |
| Upotte! is moe with guns, this is moe with tanks? Yea, why not? |
 |
| School + military + moeblob girls show. LOLOL At least it doesn't have pantsu. |

| Oh man, this might be fun |
 |
| If they say there is no pantsu, does it mean they are going commando?! |
| It doesn't look interesting. |
| Is it possible that after all these years I finally get my school military battle action anime? Here's hoping it's not gonna be Upotte! 2. Down with slice-of-life weapongirls!! HawthorneKitty said: I would say Hana.Hana or Asako look perfect for Mamiko Noto. |
| Oh dear I get the feeling that this show is going to be crappy. |
| [ Director Mizushima said the anime doesn't show Pantsu ] Sure lot of moe anime doesn't show that, and yet there's still fanservice in it. |
| I have poorly English grammar, so for give me. I still learning. -....Loading..... |
