I'm reading Motto Love Love slowly because once I'm caught up there will be no more to read.

Luceid posted:Motto Motto etc etc is extremely good and adds a boatload of character for everyone, even poor Shiho. in addition, it is also extremely cute, so it's basically perfect On the other hand, it's not canon, but it is still fun.

They're having fun with Motto Love Love and it's mostly characterization, so if you really want to care about what is and isn't canon you can probably consider the characterization canon until it's directly contradicted by the anime?

I don't know if I can take Darjaleen being brilliant at everything except cooking and social relations as non-canon

Darth Walrus posted:I dunno. That gun was certainly way more powerful than it should have been, but Christie suspension did genuinely allow tanks equipped with it to engage in some bizarre poo poo. Darjeeling's Churchill handling like something out of The Fast And The Furious stood out to me more. You know, as far as I know, we never do see the driver in Darjeeling's tank...

Katreus posted:All the 3rd years have the 2nd half of the term left so they have another half-year or so before entering University. The Japanese school year starts in April and runs to around July 20th before there's a summer break. The second half of the year runs from early September to late December. Luceid posted:i know we heard Anchovy's real name at some point, but are the ones for Kay, Darjeeling and Katyusha all made up? i don't remember seeing them anywhere despite looking around for them, specifically Magni posted:And then there's Nina. Who's like barely taller than Katyusha and loader in the freakin' KV-2.  The characters in this series in general are on the short side. Even Hana who I thought was on the tall side is like 5'3".

Jintor posted:yeah, I'm slowing on buying physical stuff right now cos I'm moving soon, but once I'm settled I'm gonna go get Motto Motto whatever. IIRC, in addition to Motto Love Love, there's also the GUP manga (which, I think is it's own canon - it's noticeably a bit darker and some of the stuff has been retconned in the anime), Maginot, Ribbon Warrior, and Little Army 1 and 2. Maginot supposedly shows off the eponymous Maginot school (French tanks) and its new Captain, Eclair, and features a pre-tournament exhibition match. It's a little weird for me - I like the glimpse of the school and its team, but I didn't like the match or art. Some people are more incompetent than they should be and some people are more competent than they are portrayed in the next match. Just ... uneven. It's been retconned in at least one detail already (re: Momo). Ribbon Warrior, I haven't read yet, but it features a new protagonist and tankathlon, which is like unsanctioned tank battles (tanks must be 10 lbs or less?) between individual tanks. Little Army 1 is the prequel. Little Army 2 is set in some indeterminate time after the tournament and features a character from LA1. Bakanogami posted:You know, as far as I know, we never do see the driver in Darjeeling's tank... Isn't that Assam? It almost seems like she fulfills some dual driver / gunner role. Also, my favorite part of Darjeeling in Motto Love Love is that she's a troll. Like starting the rumor that losers of matches with Ooarai have to do the Anglerfish dance. On another note, more things that I think haven't been posted yet. Spoilers for the movie... Battle Overview -  Kill Counts (Ooarai) -  And (living) family of certain characters:

Thanks for the deets, but I guess I was asking specifically if they're out in English yet/anyone has picked it up. I could probably just google search this, but...

finally got around to watching it. it was good. id forgotten how much id enjoyed the original season, and how inferior haifuri is in comparison highlights were gamer team getting swole enough to 1-hand load shells, and moral team immediately turning into delinquents, and the polkadance, and the ferris wheel, and the no-music no-dialogue final fight

I remember a while back that Finland's Japanese embassy officially endorsed the Strike Witches movie so there is precedent. Edit: It's still on the Embassy's website. http://www.finland.or.jp/Public/default.aspx?contentid=249175

On a rewatch, Rosehip is one of my favorite characters. She's just so happy to be traveling fast and often faster than everyone else. Too bad she doesn't interact with Leopon at all.
