So the Russians have lots of T-34s, a KV-2, and an IS it looks like? And from the last few moments of that clip it looks like the Tiger is missing from Ooarai's team. This should be excellent.

Yeah a properly crewed tiger should actually single handedly knock out every single one of the enemy tanks. The IS-2 was more of a counter to the Panther than the other German heavies though it could do the job under the right conditions. Russian units typically for most of the war had difficulties in defending from pincer attacks (of where they surround a German unit, but then have to fight its breakout and the relief force) so I'm thinking a mad breakout attempt with the Tiger supporting from outside.

I like to remind you that they have a Tiger Porsche, not a normal Tiger I (or II). It's basically a scraped prototype and worse than a traditional Tiger. Even then, a single Tiger won't make much of a difference due to the numbers difference. Also, they don't have the Tiger fielded (it seems like they couldn't get it fully operational before the match) and unless they let teams enter tanks mid-way into a match, the Tiger will not show up in this match.

The Elefant is what they used the Tiger Porche chassis after it wasn't chosen for the production model

Heh, it looks like Katyusha's VA is Hisako Kanemoto, who plays Squid Girl as well. Her dreams of invasion were fulfilled.

I like how they changed the flag tank to the Type 89. I guess they realized the Type 89 won't be able to penetrate anything and will get pulverized without constant help so might as well make it the escort.

Also, they should just release a CD of the Russian team singing all the Soviet Army classics. I wanna see these Japanese girls doing "V Put!"

I would pay the 100$ that Japan would inevitably charge us for it.  I would personally hope for "The Decemberists", "Smuglyanka", "The Sacred War", "There march the soldiers", "Dyen Pobedy" and "The Samovars".

Sindai posted:Portions of it certainly are, but most of the show actually is tank battles or talking about tank battles. I think 6 was the only episode so far that completely lacked tank battling. You mean 7, yeah? 6 was mostly concerned with the battle against the Americans. Even 7, though, had a good bit of buildup for the next fight, what with the training, looking for extra tanks, and so on.

Am I the only one who honestly wanted the Pravda team to win after listening to them sing? Those girls must have put so much effort! Even Stalin-chan didn't look like an enormous jerk when she was singing. Why does it have to be just one winner in this tournament?

They seem like pretty cool girls. Then again, they didn't seem to take their loss too hard, so there's that. I wonder what's up with the Russian vice commander? She is really quiet. Sorta like the Oorai team's gunner only without emotion...

I imagine she's supposed to be a Molotov analogue as everything I hear about him is that he took care to never ever let anyone know what he was thinking or feeling as a survival instinct. But yes, The Russian team captain is literally Stalin also has a nice ring to it. When I get back home I can try to splice it together to get a 3-5 minute song like those fake full OP's. The only problem with them singing every Red Army Choir song is that it probably crosses over from fair use to infringement if they did so. (As they only did the chorus and the first verse afaik for Katuysha) What made me laugh was that instead of your typical straight man act where her role would typically be (Molotov-chan) to be like "Sigh, you know we can't do that" her correction was just as chilling and scary. "25 days in remedial classes without sunlight" Now that's the Russian education system that *I* remember!  I kinda want them to win too as they are pure undiluted awesome but otherwise we kinda don't get a show considering the stakes. What are the likely teams after this or is the round after this one their last one?

Loving this show so far, all the characters are likable, and I can't get enough of the tank battles. Hopefully they'll have enough material for a 2nd season.

It's a anime original series so lack of material isn't something they have to worry about. The problem is if a second season will be decent enough to live up to the first.

It seems unlikely to me that the GirlsundPanzerverse actually operates like that, but interestingly an Abrams tank silouhette in the same style as the Panzer silouhette that the show uses in the OP and ED has been showing up in odd places. None of the other tanks have recieved the same treatment from what I've noticed.

If Sumire Uesaka's agency isn't recording a Russian album with her tomorrow, they're missing out on a gold mine. She's well-known as a huge Russia fangirl and has studied the language intensely. After this episode, it's free money on the table. I hope we get a Katyusha single with the full song sung by the whole team and separate Hisako Kanemoto/Sumire Uesaka versions too.

Cap is 10 tanks in the match. Presumably you can bring more in case of mechanical failure or sudden crew injury, so sort of like understudies.
