| After two weeks of waitng, where finally back on track. I've been waiting pass midnight and it was worth the wait. Sh#t! The episode was freakin' intense! I thought Miho's team would lose when they where being chased and took out 2 tanks by the firefly. I can't believe they actually did it! Damn, Hana's epic shot made my jaw drop, and it was a moving target too! It's very difficult to lead a target. She just prove she's an excellent gunner! And we got to know that the flag tank is Arisa's and the short haired girl is on the firefly. I feel so teary eyed when the rest of the teams rush to Miho and Kei gave Miho a hug. It was so sweet. Also, seeing Momo's hopeless sad expression when they were being piinned down was surprising and new. Yet, the celebration was cut short for Mako when her grandma was rushed in the hospital. It was a good thing Maho, was kind enough to let Mako use their helicopter to get to the hospital. Awesome episode. It made me smile through the episode. Seeing them won for the first time makes me so feel happy that I want to celebrate with them. Looking forward in watching this in subs! |

| This was a very exciting episode to watch. Lots of tense moments all to the way to climax where Hana made that amazing shot to win the match. However, it seems there is stiff competition waiting ahead. |

^ Takuan_Soho, thank you for alerting us to this drool-inducing photo. Rather than having a lot of people making uninformed random comments, I would prefer it if some history, swimwear or fanservice expert can explain in detail exactly what Saemonza (左衛門佐) is wearing. She is the gunner on the history buff team. She is an expert on the Warring States Period (戦国時代 / Sengoku jidai). She loves Archery (弓道). Apparently, that headband that she always wears is a 六文銭模様付きの赤い鉢巻. I don't know what that means, but you can search on Google Images to see many examples. |

The Loin cloth is a traditional man's swim wear, the chest wrapping is traditional for woman engaging in martial arts, and her headband and loincloth motiff is the family crest of the Sanada family, on which her character is based: Sanada Saemon Yukimura: the number one warrior in Japan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanada_Yukimura For Japanese Family Crests: http://www.utc.edu/Departments/edast/ncta/chatt/pdf/Glasscock-LP1_handout-crests.pdf Scroll down to Sanada. Edit: Just noticed in watching the English edition: when the History Club is debating which battle this reminds them of, Saemonza mentions Tennouji, which is the battle her namesake died. |

| Quoting the same question from streaming site: Who’s Takashi ? ^^; The fire inside Type-89 is worrying. Shouldn’t the cockpit be safe in this game ? Regarding the characters: - St. Gloriana ==> Hana - Saunders ==> Yukari & Mako So if Kuromori is reserved for Miho, Saori’s background should be shown after the battle against the Soviets, right ? |

You can see four scenes from this OVA here: http://urx.nu/2y9m Aw. Mako is so cute, but I prefer if she wear a two piece bikini. Ayumi and Aya looks cute in their swimsuits as well. |
| After 2 weeks of waiting, it's finally here. All I can say is YES! That tank battle was really fun to watch. It was so worth the 2 week wait just to see this. LOL @ at the akward silence between the 2 tanks (I forget who they are). LOL @ Mako's meow ringtone.

You know I can talk hours about this but, what a second, what is this picture...  Uhm (wipes drool from face), what was I talking about.....  |

| That helicopter looked like something from the 1930's. |

But what about Oryou? What historical character is she based on. Added note: - Makos' ringtone is cute. On the OP Maho is carrying a cat. Hope the cute feline appears. I love cats and Mako's is like a cat too. Lazy, sleepy, and adorably cute. Make her wear nekomimi(cat earts) and make her say "nyaa", and it's perfect! lol - Maho is definitely using a tiger I, It's the same tank that was shown in Miho's flashback on episode 1 when they were arguing with the student council. Team Oorai better upgrade/replace they're tanks. - My prediction is that Miho's development would be on the last part of the series when the Nishizumi sisters finally face off. - I love the part when Noriko, team Duck's commander and Arisa had a long awkward silence. It was funny. - The most awesome part is Hana's epic shot. The historian's and the student councils' faces and even Arisa's faces where priceless. Way to go Hana! - Subs, were art thou? |
MagitoNov 19, 2012 9:53 PM
| highlight of this episode for me was that slow mo shot, intense fight after a long wait that one girl that was sooo mad had some crazy mainly face at 6:20 lol those other teams at the end didn't seem like they KO'd those panzers with one shell.. |
 |
| Damn, that episode was good. The scene with the Type-89 and the Sherman just staring at eachother in disbelief was actually hilarious. This show is criminally underrated here. |
 |
| Damn, let her swim ! |
 |
| Poor Arisa. She gets chased by Oorai, gets dump by the guy she likes, and gets punishment for unfair play. lol |
| Great ep but as we saw, they couldn't do a thing against the Firefly... they need to get there hands on a more powerful tank soon or they won't stand a chance agains a Tiger or a T-34. Love that they use real military hymns/marches as BGM ^_^ |

| Now, this is what I call Panzerfahren! A great battle and we got a good dose of character development as well. I really liked how well-paced and structured the whole episode was; it is kind of pathetic that Mädchen und Panzer is declassing most other currently airing anime when it comes to battle scenes (I'm looking at you, SAO). |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
Liph said: They could - but for some reason didn't use well potential of StuGGreat ep but as we saw, they couldn't do a thing against the Firefly... they need to get there hands on a more powerful tank soon or they won't stand a chance agains a Tiger or a T-34. Love that they use real military hymns/marches as BGM ^_^ but yeah later version of Panzer IV and changing remaining 3 to something that can fight would improve their chances. Still very nice episode and looking forward to next one... Anzio? Italy? plus T-34 in Pravda team - I hope they have some bigger toys also (KV as flag vehicle and let tem try to destroy that thing). |
| This was worth the two week wait the ending was a bit over the top tho looks like they will be facing some tough opponents if they make it to the finals. That helicopter that Miho's sister offered was a Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 and fits the anime perfectly i was expecting something else so it was a surprise. I was also under the impression that Maho gained some respect for Miho after watching this battle it seemed like she was opening up to her and i wonder what will happen to there relationship when the anime progresses. Then there is Mako even tho she doesn't show to much emotions she tends to overreact when she is shocked or surprised like now about hearing her grandmother was in hospital or the time she was scared of her which makes her a very interesting character. Hope everything is alright with her grandmother tho. Miho's reaction when Kei hugged her was pretty funny it showed that she isn't used to that kind of behaviour. It does show that Miho is getting acknowledged by the commanders of the opposition tho. Hopefully for Miho she won't get overestimated tho since the school the just defeated was a strong school with a reputation the opposition will not take them lightly anymore. |

One tank won't be able to do "all the work" :/ |
|
| I love this episode The snipe shot The blues music-although just 10 seconds its still great. The strategy The satisfaction Its perfect And those girls are probably better tank operators than everyone in the world.. |
| Its 420 out there somewhere. |
Liph said: Used in a right way it can - like in previous episode. One tank won't be able to do "all the work" :/ But chasing Sherman with Lee and StuG didn't had too much sense - as they had to aim with an entire tank. It was designed to hide, shoot and move to different position not to run around. Nasty001 said: It's half true about this fire - first models had said problem but later they were removing things that could cause fire (wet storage and other invention like this). Well , according to Arisa, there were 50,000 of them being manufactured during WW2......Correct, The said tank is sturdy , tough and comfy............well, half true, co'z the Sherman is also called "Rolling Ronson" which means that because the tank uses gasoline it easily burst into flames when hit directly. And according to Discovery Channels Top 10 Tanks, the Sherman's protection only receives an average score of 6. Other thing is that in fight agaist Tiger or Panther they didn't had much chance. But in it's class it was very good tank, comparable with T-34 (ok much more comfortable and I think reliable). But gun it was 17-pdr and there was some more things changed by British to make it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Firefly |
| "Army Goes Rolling Along" is the song used when the firefly and the four shermans started chasing team Oorai. It would be more hilarious if they played "Yakety Sax" during the chase scene. Seeing Arisa's panic state puts a smile to my face. |
| Pretty cool first match! Next match should be against the Italians, I wonder if Mako's problem will be solved before the next match, I guess it won't be the case... |
| I was wondering... was the sick grandma actually a trap? Because it was too much of a coincidence otherwise (but that doesn't mean much in a show like this). Also, did they say some time during the series how good and where from these tanks are, or are we expected to know? |

| Pilgrimage to the GaruPan Holy Land ガールズ&パンツァー聖地巡礼! 鹿島臨海鉄道6000形 水戸～大洗間 前面展望 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShhUe0RLClw Apparently this video was taken by a serious GaruPan fan who is also a train buff. The title is "Girls & Panzer: A pilgrimage (巡礼) to the Holy (聖) Land (地) ! Forward (前面) view (展望) from a type-6000 train along the Kashima (鹿島) seaside (臨海) railway (鉄道) from Mito (水戸) to Ooarai (大洗)". It is 18 minutes long. But it shows NOTHING but the view out the front window of a train. In fact, the train doesn't even START MOVING for the first 90 seconds. The train starts in Mito City and ends up in Ooarai. Recall that Hana Isuzu and the three Student Council members are all from Mito City. The distance to Mito is 15 km, so the Isuzu family servant (Shinzaburo) was in great physical shape to be able to pull their rickshaw all that way. We first see Shinzaburo pulling the rickshaw at 16:30 in Episode 4. It is interesting viewing if you want to get a feel for the countryside in Ibaraki Prefecture in November. It is not at all unusual for GaruPan fans to describe a trip to Ooarai as a "pilgrimage" as you will discover if you do a Google video search for ガールズ&パンツァー 聖地巡礼. Every true GaruPan fan is obligated to visit Ooarai at least once. |

SayuriUliana said: Thanks for the link! Also, later war Shermans were no longer as vulnerable to said ammo explosions as they mythically did. One account of a Soviet tanker(Dmitry Loza) who used Shermans in the war actually commented on how T-34's suffered far more ammo explosions than their Shermans. You can read about his account here. After being put from T-34 into some other tank I don't doubt he came to like it (except M3, Soviets hated those) - bigger comfort of operating, ease of repair and not riding in something that was scavenged from other tanks. Takuan_Soho said: I think it's this guy behind it Someone put some thought into this adapting the British Firefly to the American side. It's this attention to detail that makes this show so great. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=86830 also with Upotte and Strike Witches - and whatever one can say that they are fanservice fest (they were) in terms of historical details they were very good. |
| Good episode :D The animation felt smooth~ And maybe it's only me, but I felt like the helicopter scene at the last part of the episode felt so long that it was just used to fill in the remaining time in the 24mins course of the show :| |
SayuriUliana said: The part about Sherman's lighting up isn't actually about their gasoline engines (that's a myth), but rather their ammo: most Shermans burned in such a manner were actually destroyed by ammo explosions. And the Shermans that did suffer said explosions were those that didn't use the "Wet Stowage" system of ammo storage, which used a water/glycerine mixture contained in the outer walls of the ammo racks to retard any fires and/or explosions should the ammo racks get penetrated. Also, later war Shermans were no longer as vulnerable to said ammo explosions as they mythically did. One account of a Soviet tanker(Dmitry Loza) who used Shermans in the war actually commented on how T-34's suffered far more ammo explosions than their Shermans. You can read about his account here. Although flammability of tank gasoline engines has been greatly exaggerated, it's just as wrong to completely write them off the list of culpits. Gasoline (and its vapors especially) are decidedly more flammable than diesel fuel, and the resulting tank fire more intensive; also contributing in M4 are transmission, located in the front of the hull, and hydraulic systems in turret. And after the inside of tank is on fire, ammunition cooking up is usually a matter of seconds - although wet stowage indeed greatly reduced this tendency. Also, really, one should take Loza's works with a bag of salt - for a biased personal account that it is. You might not know, but USSR recieved only a few gasoline M4s - after experiences with extreme loss rates of M3s due to fires has led it to firmly request that only diesel-engined M4A2 be supplied. And actual statistcs tell of ammo explosions being a comparatively uncommon thing for T-34 - typically occuring only when tank was completely engulfed in flames, since ammunition (located on the floor) was very rarely hit and partially protected by bins. Rather, many 34s outlived several crews, being repeatedly knocked out only to be quickly patched up and sent to combat again with new crew members. |

| Was actually a pretty good episode. Mako grandmother collapsing :( |

I hope they put more of Austrian and Germany march in next episodes. :3 |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Oh, it's more than just a game of tag this time around. Hell, this episode was like one of those old school games I used to play with Tanks. I forget the name of it but it involved dodging and hitting the brakes like crazy. Anyways, not a bad episode and a few of the OST reminds me of Star Wars for some reason. Nice win for Miho's team and this girl was pretty damn cool imo this episode:  I also lol'd @ Mako's phone. It's meoooooowing. I feel sad for her though ;.; |
 |
Kittle said: Mute sound on the episode then start playing Yakety Sax in the background at 13:24. It fits... worryingly well. I actually did that. Freakin hilarious. Someone should do an a video of that and upload it on youtube. |
| So glad it's back! Great ep. Dat slow-mo shot! Seemed like they really put a lot of work in this ep animation wise. I can see part of why it was delayed. As for Mako.. sad times :(. I hope her grandma is ok! |
 |
Yvese said: As for Mako.. sad times :(. I hope her grandma is ok! Yeah. I can totally relate to that. Is Arisa using a firefly? Because it has a longer barrel as well. |
endlessabyss said: I assume the rest of the enemies' tanks are shot down before the final one is shot down? No? There were still 7 Shermans and 1 Firefly left on the opposing team, but because Ooarai disabled the flag tank, they won. If the Saunders team had disabled the President's tank on Ooarai's team, Ooarai would have lost since that was their flag tank. It was different to the battle against the St. Gloriana team. |
|
| It was explain before that flag battles is use during tournaments. |
