Is that a specialist GuP mag/info book or is it a bunch of pages out of a weekly/monthly mag or something?

/edit oh man, Magnoit's performance is really depressing given the spin-off manga... they could be the protags of their own series, but got knocked out in the first round by Anzio, the other povo team

Actually that's kind of amazing because Anzio's offensive capabilities are really low and Magnoit's a defence specialist, even with the new commander trying to shift priorities over to mobile warfare. I'd love to hear about that match someday.

irrelevant but fun fact: the kanji for totsugeki, 突撃、is made of 'stab/sudden' (突) and 'attack' (撃).

kanji's okay sometimes

/edit wait, I may have misread

//edit nope, it just renders it weird on SA. Oh well

Soooo the Little Army II manga is okay? Seems to actually be set after GuP 1 (and the movie I guess?) and actually kinda has a cool cast of characters? Moves waaaay too fast though.

Ribbon Mushi also good, if crazy. Probably a bit too crazy.

ribbon mushi just straight up makes up schools! Tategoto is a Burmese school apparently. No idea what they're driving but they get #rekt by Poland immediately.

So during the TV series they watched Kelly's Heroes, but what was the video we saw a few seconds in the film?

Apparently they're watching 1941 by Spielberg?



/edit Found it!

(This entire scene is Dan Ackroyd inciting the crowd against "The Japs". Lmao)

it's also the inspiration for the ferris wheel attack!

What I'm saying is, the Nishizumi style isn't big on communication.

wouldn't charging forward without looking back by making your own senshado team be pretty much the essence of the nishizumi style

her entire team shamed her afterwards as well didn't they? And if last year's tournament was the same as this year's, the finals against Pravda would've taken place at the end of the year (since The Movie appears to take place during a school break, and they mention that they wish they at least got the time until April when the school year actually ends for the 3rd years to graduate). Miho only transferred at the beginning of the new school year, so she would've had a full semester of basically being ignored/shamed.

The High School tournament seems to take place between April (start of the school year) and July. If the finals were at the end of the year then the 3rd years would have graduated by the time the movie happens. The movie takes place during summer vacation in late July-August as we get the comments on the heat as well as Summer vacation homework. That is unless last year's tournament was held later in the year or there are multiple tournaments throughout the year.

Hmm, I think you're correct; Japanese shows usually make a big deal about Winter and the New Year, and Miho definitely transferred in at the beginning of the new school term, so the first tournament must've just been during the first school semester.

I guess that makes it worse; two full semesters of getting #rekt at Kuromori

I'm also not quite sure how I feel about three colleged aged girls getting drunk while trying to get to know their elementary(?) school aged Commander in an almost obsessive way.

Edit: I also saw the Love Live audio dramas and am obliged to listen to them now. Thanks Daxing Dan

I was kinda annoyed their design aesthetic is almost exactly the same as every other high school girl in the series...

anyway, tell me about love live and tanks

No Anzio drama track? Boooooo

/edit also it just occured to me that the Senshado teams for the other schools may as well be their student councils. Well, it is a world obsessed with tanks...

I understood maybe 60% of the St. Gloriana drama so I guess I could give it a shot. expect results in... uh... three months.

aww, poo poo.



As for Love Live: Soldier Game... Cutie Panther... why did I not realise this before? Tanks for all!

Someone pointed this out in the original thread but seems like the further up you get in the tournament the more tanks your school needs just to be even viable... though they do have the flag tank thing for that exact purpose, I suppose

i read all of the 4komas and they're extremely good. anzio might actually have the most lovable cast after the ooarai gang, they're just so goddamn nice. but now i'm out of material to watch and read, so i guess its time to die

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.

Does GuP have english manga out of anywhere, or will this contribute to my growing stack of manga-I-can-read-very-slowly?

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.

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...

one of my favourite things about ribbon warrior is that nobody knows that oorai was just a bunch of lucky bastards who were only driven to victory because they didn't want their school to shut down, so instead they just seem like an incredibly deadly band of ice cold killers to the protags
