THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Just a reminder that according to the official website, the first special is titled OVA 1. Swimsuits episode "Water War"~

Well... The store claims to have every kind of of (female?) swimsuits (including diving suits apparently). Some of them are rather interesting to see.

But somehow it is only 7 minutes rather that 10 minutes. (MAL even puts 12 minutes?)

Nice fan-service episode. Although I was hoping for a little more action.
Really liked those swimsuits, and i really find it amazing how much information they can put in this series, without it becoming boring.

Does anyone know already when the final episodes will air?

The all important beach episode is finally here. Loved seeing everyone trying out all those swimsuits and bikinis. Just when everything was perfect - they got rained out. LOL

I thought Reizei would have a better swimsuit since they said she bought a "pretty risky one".

I burst out laughing at the rain in the end. The rain sure knows how to troll.

Yukari sure got Miho's 3 sizes just right. I'm curious how big is bust size 82?

I prefer Miho in a white swimsuit. -> http://img4.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/misc-ero-xvi/nishizumi-miho-bikini-fiddle-by-megami.jpg

10/10.
Yukari, Erwin and President-chan perfect as usual.

At first I wanted to post one screen, maybe some more, I opened the episode and saved everything I liked... turns out it was a little more than previously predicted, therefore spoiler.

Let's start with a little of the best girl, just like the episode did!


Next, some Yukari goodness with pantsu puns in between. That English pantsu is really well made, German not too shabby either. Still no actual Japanese pantsu!


Followed by risky Hana


And back to Yukari! With a hint that Mako would like to be her swimsuit :>


She still can't compare to History club as a whole, proved by pics below:


Now it's time for other clubs!


Lucky Star?


Time for Student Council!


This is beautiful:


UMI DA!


I made some stitches too! Probably half of all I did in my life, so it took half an hour. It should be rather obvious which swimsuit I liked the most.


Beach episodes are great!

Im just laughing the fact that this was cut from the main series. Imagine how these scenes would have made this series much popular and decrease the drop rate. It even has that Asuna (SAO) ass pose.

Yukari and Mako's swim suit turn out much better than I expected ^_^

Gatha love the first year kids, always so cute and funny, and this time, with their horror theme swimming gear.

That Yukari still remember Miho's measurements.(They took their measurements for their tank uniform... Or is this a prequel?)

EDIT: Silly me, this comes with volume 1, which is the first 2 episode... obviously before Miho took her measurements with the tailors.


Nothing too special about this episode. Hopefully they can do a more meaningful episode... Then again, their show alone is pretty legit by it self(minimum fanservice, plot always moving), maybe it isn't so bad to give us some eye candy in the BDs.

I don't know which pose are you talking about but I'm sure Asuna is nothing more than just another example of it.

Sword Art Online = Sweet Ass Online.

I'm really liking Girls Und Panzer, 0 panty-shots, and almost non-existent blatant fan-service from the main series, yet super popular in JP (They keep their plot focus, and only give bonuses at their Blu-rays)

Barely similar. Also, it happens in every second anime since forever...? If you want something exceptional, check out OreImo's Kirino http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h350/Progeusz/3a229cf5c5cf92ae676332d6f542092e.gif or, more classic example, Nanoha's Fate.

never saw that but not that shaking, also i cant see to whom she does that. It has to be unpretentious or accidentally, just to tease us not the characters. The way the girls lift plus the camera angle are very similar to me. wtv its just something i remembered seeing recently.

All in all, I'm glad they left this outta the main series; felt a bit to much or excessive.
That being said looking forward to more. Hope to see a return to form.

It was a pretty fun anime short. Fanservice is tame compared to other shows so it is still in good taste, IMO.

Yukari sure remembers Miho's 3 sizes. :)

Now waits for 2nd OVA coming in February.

This first special has little to tell as story inherent in the Panzer, it preponderant are lesibizione of centimeters of skin and swimsuits, with some minor historical hint! Nice but nothing more!

Great OVA to relax the girls from Sensha-do.
Yukari knows everything related with soldiers even the name of the swimsuits :D

What a surprisingly well-done copyright infringiment :-)



P. S: Dunno if it's intentional or not, but the girl's "Urusai!"'s also kinda reflect the "Shut up!"'s in the original sketch!
