| That last tank was massive! They are better off running away from something like that. |
 |
| They fell for such an obvious trap with that one single tank running away from them and the heavy showing up :/ They should have just turn back as fast as they could and not even try to shoot it instead of now losing 2 tanks thanks to that. |
 |
| Holy fuck...the maus...! |
 |
on 
Every time I watch this I keep expecting her to run out of rope: |
 |
| The narration is more than engaging. The characters, however, are the best part of the narrative besides the strategy. |
 |
| A panzer VIII Maus, huh? Damn. You got this girls |
 |
| Why hello there, ain't you a big machine, lol. I kinda feel for Ooarai with the arrival of the Maus, just as they were about to slip into their territory, urban combat. The perk of Miho being familiar with Kuromori is the amount of knowledge and info on them that she has. Thanks to this, the operations played out as intended or as close to it as possible. Miho has finally chosen what means more to her. Her friends come first before the advancement. Aww. |
 |
| The Maus is hungry for some iron |
 |
| quite the fight.. |

| thick boy Mauss shows up, i didnt expect it since as far as i am aware, it never saw any combat an i think it was never produced by the germans beyond a few prototypes, i am sure in a real battle you could just ignore the Mauss an outrun it an that thing wouldnt be able to catch up |

| A great episode before the ending, and that Maus was very well animated! |

| Ooarai doesn't really represent Japan but the events in this episode make it seem so. Kuromorimine represents Nazi Germany. Kuromorimine (黒森峰) has the characters for black, tree, and peak respectively. I lovw that this time, they were able to execute a well thought out plan with some improv. The other defeated teams are delighted that a previously unknown school is giving this top school a kicking in the butt. But unfortunately a powerful enemy tank appeared and they're back between a rock and a hard place. Anyway, I like that we see two aspects of collectivism: one positive and the other negative. Miho, by choosing to help her team mates on the assumption that we're all in this together, is displaying the positive aspects of collectivism that the Japanese are known for. But when Western pro-capitalist thinkers denounce collectivism, I don't think it maps out to this type of collectivism. Kuromorimine's willingness to sacrifies each tank to reach victory is a negative form of collectivism, and this is the form that such thinkers are right to denounce. I was also under the impression that Miho's and Hana's rebellion against the received wisdom of their respective crafts that this may anime might be promoting individualism. But it seems to be that it is merely critiquing the negative aspects of collectiviwm, those aspects that prevent Japan from innovating. Like I said earlier, Miho et al still continue to practise the positive aspects of collectivism. |
