Just now Miho's voice actress tweeted this photo: http://twitpic.com/be53cf/full

In the photo she is wearing a special Japan Rail cap. That is because she just attended a ceremony where they officially unveiled the new decoration scheme for the trains featuring pictures of all of the characters from Girls und Panzers. Of the five voice actresses, she is the only one who attended this early morning ceremony.

...and she also said, ガルパン仕様列車お披露目式に来てくださった皆様、どうもありがとうございました!!

She mentions that train decoration unveiling ceremony and thanks everybody.

There was an appearance of all five of the GaruPan voice actresses at 1:00 pm.

According to the Tweet of director [url=http://myanimelist.net/people/9552/Mizushima_Tsutomu]Mizushima Tsutomu, he noticed that some animators of Girls und Panzer have been struggling to show pantsu of the characters although Mizushima had promised that there would be no pantsu shown in the anime. He said he will enforce the discipline of the staff to suppress the "resistance", but he would like to praise the courage if someone manages to insert pantsu scenes.
May be this is the reason why they delayed episode 6 - because of a stupid pantsu.

I'm also thinking this could be the reason for the delay. lol. Either the staff manages to insert pantsu or not, It's okay for me. Thought, I am leaning on pantsu shots as to know what kind of pantsu they wear. lol

And today on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom we will be seeking the elusive Shimapan. Jim, what makes the shimapan so rare.

Marlin, the difficulty in spotting the shimapan is its ability to blend into the surrounding landscapes, particular the grasses of the African savanna. While the blue stripes are a bit easier to spot in the wild, this is less true in the more typical urban environment of Shibuya and Harajuku. However, true connoisseurs prefer the tan and whites to the other patterns.

Videos from Sunday Ankou Festival in Ooarai

Just now I tried very hard to find some video showing the five voice actresses appearing yesterday at the Ankou Festival in Ooarai. I found nothing so far, sadly. But here is a still photo from Sunday morning of Miho's voice actress: http://twitpic.com/be53cf
Update: See Post #64 below.

However, I did find these other videos which show various things from yesterday. Nothing too exciting, so don't get your hopes up!

大洗あんこう祭りに行ってきました!【ガルパン】
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiyUO4BbsUM
- Just a little bit shot at the festival, but we can't see the voice actresses.
- 90% of the video just shows his desk in his room at home.
- He shows us the limited-edition stuff that he bought which was only available at yesterday's festival.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-46tdAI_rnI
- He shows us a lot of limited edition stuff that he bought at the festival in Ooarai yesterday.
- The whole video was shot in his room back at home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNI_KZyYO7o
- He shows lots and lots of GaruPan stuff for sale (I assume) in the Ooarai train station.
- He shows the specially decorated shuttle bus from the train station to the event site.

【ガールズ&パンツァー】ガルパンin大洗Part1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0ALzylhZ7k
- Good video showing the event site in the morning prior to the 1:00 pm appearance by the 5 voice actresses, including the beautiful view from up in the 60 meter high Marine Tower.
- He goes crazy every time he sees a picture of Yukari Akiyama.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cobPgztMvPU
- Inside view of the Ooarai train station.
- Outside street view of the Ooarai train station.
- Very, very, very detailed video of the special GaruPan-theme decorated shuttle bus which takes people from the train station to the event site. Is this guy a "bus otaku" ? See Post #63 below.
- At 03:21, on the street you can see the sign (上映会) advertising the indoor event where they had a free all-day showing of all of the six GaruPan episodes, up to and including Episode 5.5. On another sign, Miho says that you can't bring in food or drinks.
- At 03:41, on the street you can see the sign for the "talk event" which was later in the afternoon at 3:00 pm. But he didn't go inside, apparently. The five voice actresses appeared at the "talk event".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99S9vM33chI
- This video was shot at night at a train station in Mito City in Ibaraki Prefecture. Mito is very close to Ooarai. The video shows a train with the special GaruPan theme decorations. The train arrives and then it leaves. A "train otaku" maybe? See Post #63 below.

40000 GaruPan fans !

According to a GaruPan tweet, 65000 people attended the Ankou festival on Sunday. In a normal year they get 20000 to 30000 people. Therefore we can estimate that 40000 GaruPan fans were there!

On Saturday they had the Ooarai Dance Festival, which is a separate event. If you search on YouTube you can easily find lots of videos just posted showing the various dance groups. Unfortunately, none of them peformed the embarrassing Ankou dance.

Ah Japan, the only country where the answer to both questions is a big resounding yes.

While other countries have train spotters, Japan I believe is the only country that has competing magazines focused on this marketing segment. Every train line has some sort of special train to attract the train otaku audience. Steam trains, open air trains, rare engine trains, sort of like Pokeman, the goal is to catch (a picture) of them all.

Had one experience with that. Was taking a somewhat rare train down a rural coastline, and in one of the more desolate regions, but in a perfect position to get a nice sweeping picture of the train, was a cameraman with the most incredible camera I have seen outside of sporting events. I first wondered how the guy found the location, then reflected that obviously there is a book that lists all the best sites to photograph a train on any given line.

Great thing about the Japanese. When they do something, they do it all the way.

Here is some great video of Miho's voice actress (渕上舞) at 10:00 am on Sunday in Ooarai:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3oXK3rq1Y4

It is ten minutes long but it is worth watching. It shows a very special ceremony where they are unveiling a new decoration scheme for the trains in Ibaraki which has a GaruPan theme. Miho's voice actress had the honor of sticking on the last sticker, which is a picture of Miho. Then she signed her name on the pink ankou fish. She was the only one of the voice actresses to attend this early morning event.

^The other four voice actresses appeared at the festival later on the same day.

The five of them had an outside appearance (on that field) at 1:00 pm.

Later at 3:00 pm there was a "talk event" indoors.

I really hope that somebody can post video or photos of them !

I think that Miho's voice actress must have felt very cold during that morning ceremony. Look at the heavy winter coats that everbody else was wearing. Congratulations to her for her bravery and devotion to duty ! What a good soldier !

LOL She really is a trooper for wearing that skirt out in the cold like that.

I find it odd that they can a ceremony featuring anime characters on a train and you can hardly hear anything other than the cameras. Aren't ceremonies supposed to have fans cheering on people?

The girls' high school is on a giant ship. The ship is mostly based on the real-life Japanese aircraft carrier Zuikaku (瑞鶴). Here is a photo of the Zuikaku: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Japanese.aircraft.carrier.zuikaku.jpg
Here is information about the Zuikaku: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Zuikaku

However... the bridge of the girls' ship (the tower that sticks up) is based on the real-life Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi (赤城). Here is a photo of the Akagi: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:AkagiDeckApril42.jpg
Here is information about the Akagi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Akagi

This was the GaruPan tweet that just came out: そういえば、大洗女子の学園艦は、瑞鶴をベースに、艦橋部分は赤城というハイブリッドデザインにしています。

Just finished this today at last and it's like they said..never give up on Tankery!

Overall just a recap for me. It was a nice way to refresh my memories of the pilot episode though. God, Miho reminds me of Rena.

4/5

Episode that is useful due to the fact that he showed all the characters with their names and in having shown, even the peculiarities of tanks of various teams.
A useful break to catch our breath, to better characterize the characters and to be ready for the upcoming clash.

If you want to know everything about "Girls und Panzer", then you should not miss this episode, which represents the characters of the Ooarai school and also the tanks, without forgetting the other characters and tanks. But there is so much more, too; it is not a simple summary

Some summary was done, but it's more like exposition that had to be cut from the anime. Otherwise, it would have 1) a longer run time 2) bored people. It's a nice watch to put some things in context.
