| By the way, I finally pin down the saying quoted from Sun Tzu's Art of War spoken by Anzu in this episode with the Japanese translation (of the version spoken by Anzu), the original Chinese and the English translation. Took me a bit of time but let me share it.. It is from Chapter 2 - Waging War 作戰 兵は拙速を聞くも、いまだ巧久なるを睹ず 故兵聞拙速，未睹巧之久也 Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays. This quote, as you can see from the translation, does not really say clearly that haste is in general better than delay, although it is often quoted to mean precisely that (like in this episode). I have found some notes that purport to shed some light on the difficulty of interpreting this bit of text: |

| Awesome... finally Soviets with mandatory "Uraaaa!" and song :) nice to see them - no vodka before battle but I can understand this. But KV-2 and JS-2?! Really o.O those two are tanks they should be least worry... sure they are well armoured and armed but slow... no to mention they don't carry too much ammo (I think it was around 20 in case of JS). T-34 are different thing. Sure they have shitty aiming system, zero ergonomy but they are quick. And it was visible here - luring them out, surrounding and shooting down. Not standard Soviet way of doing things but it worked here (standart was: JS breaks the line and T-34 follows up to clean remaining units). Only problem is that girls still have those shitty tanks - Panzer IV and StuG are great to deal with it, but having 3 tanks that don't use turrets is serious problem (and both M3 and B1 don't have too impressive weapons). 38t and that Japanese toy can... they look nice but that's all ;) And that overconfidence.. but maybe they have learned something about not underestimating the enemy (and Miho to stick up with her plan - they should try to do things slowly). |
| ^ Rated low in MAL should be the least of concern. (Besides I always question the merit of a rating system like the one used in MAL) What we should pay attention is how well it is received in Japan, its target market :-) |

gunayrus said: That is not a Tiger, it is the Type IV with the longer gun (which was found by the students in that episode). This has also been confirmed in the official Twitter as well. I am not very familiar with tanks, but I thought the ending song at eps 7, miho team is ridding a Tiger. Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks @Takuan_Solo All your guesses make sense. It is surely one possible route to take for the remaining 3 episodes, and I think the world championship for a 2nd season definitely makes sense too. While I think exploring team fracture is worth doing, the length and the pace of the series may not allow much room for that. I am still interested at what point will Hana and Miho reconcile with their respective mothers though - Miho's one is particularly tough one to crack (I believe Maho actually plan to support Miho after her mother cuts off the link to Miho so that Miho can live freely as she pleases, so Maho's case is not really too much of an issue). For the battle I hope there will not be miracle development like suddenly a Tiger shows up or they can repair serious damage without the support of Automobile Club within 3 hours etc. Would be great if it makes use of Katyusha's arrogance and applies lesson learned by having been overconfident showing lack of discipline. Jyuu-niDesu said: The deployment of the tanks at the beginning of the Pravda match was showed to us and there was no Tiger. I hope that that is not a trick meant for the audience and then a Tiger showed up and told us that that chart is not really everything but what was deployed at the beginning, and then even told us that the Pravda was surprised by this because they never got a list of what tanks Ooarai got in the match.I hope that ooarai actually did enter with the Tiger without most of them knowing and without showing us.

| The tanks seems very different to me. sry i'm new to tanks. hmmm, so disappointed that miho team didn't get the tiger yet. |

And Katyusha may be arrogant... but Miho would have to pull out some miracle to beat them (which probably she will do but that's different matter) - she has superiority in tanks (both weapons and armour), crew experience and position. @gunayrus http://www.armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/WWII/PzIV/ here you have pages with pictures of different types of Panzer IV now I think they are going with F2 which is this |

Jyuu-niDesu said: Well, it can also be argued that a Tiger is precisely the tank that reminds her of that incident, so it is kind of hard to say. Add to that, Miho should be comfortable and familiar with a Tiger considering that her previous tank she commanded was Tiger 217. I have rewatched the last episode and I took back what I said about the reason of Tiger not appearing in this match. Miho was indeed shown to notice that something behind the lost girls, but we never even got to see how others reacted to it (and of course nothing about that tank mentioned at all after that scene). I read from the official Twitter that none of the discovery made it into the Anzio match because of insufficient time, but in this episode we see the Mk IV upgraded and the Char refit. I guess there is nothing illogical for the Tiger suddenly making a miracle appearance though I would say it is very much a lazy way to get out of the mess (not to say by way of playing tricks on the watchers). I hope there is a honestly clever way that Miho will use to win this match, and perhaps it will be good enough to at least get her mother (and perhaps Hana's mom too) soften a little bit. |

| Wow.. Anchovy speaks in the manga!! (actually she also "spoke" in the anime, if only for a sigh ha ha, and according to the official Twitter, she was voiced by Yoshioka Maya who also voiced Kondo Taeko the girl in the volleyball team with a red ribbon wrapped around her head) Also, there is a Maruyama-san fanclub in 2ch and they have recently made the following summary of their favorite girl's appearance in the episode. Note the rare smile of Maruyama appear not once but twice in this episode: |

| My fav part! |
| Seriously I can't comprehend how this team keeps on winning when they are so stupid!? lol Everything would be fine if everyone just listened to Miho. They nominated Miho to be the team's 'commander' but then they just ignore her tips and orders and get screwed up. Before the match, Miho thought that Pravda's famous for their habit of retreating and then launching an effective counterattack, so they must not fall into the trap and follow them. Yet she forgot this the instant everyone was all happy and talking about their "invincibility" due to their previous victory. And the rest of the team couldn't care less about Miho's plans, who is 10 times more experienced and better tactician than all other members of the team combined. And then they fall right into the trap... All I could do through this whole episode was facepalm time after time |
Nasty001 said: It wasn't first to do both of those things:Oh c'mon guys forget about "Stalingrad" and "Battle of the Bulge", this is "Girls und Panzer" not some old Hollywood movie nor some History Channel or Discovery Channel documentary. Fyi, The T34 tank is the frist tank to incorporate the following: -Spring Suspension -Sloping Armor. - sloping armour was used much earlier - I think even during I WW (if we are talking just about tanks). T-34 made it just "fashionable". - and that suspension (Christie version) was used in 30's by the Soviets and British in limited way. And why forget? I like it because of those references - if some mechas or other s-f machines would be fighting I would probably drop it already. |

symbv said: And the girls fell for it very easily.Aversa said: Miho even said at least once that lure and counterattack is what Pravda is particularly good at...That trap was rather obvious but the girls where overconfident and didn't even listen to Miho they just rushed in without thinking at all.Seems Pravda was planning on there overconfidence and used it to there advantage. As mentioned they where so overconfident they didn't even listen to Miho not during her strategy meeting nor the moment she was warning them. They where just rushing on ahead and underestimated there opponents. And now there driven in a corner like rats hopefully they learn something from it tho. symbv said: That explains.Aversa said: From what I read, the 10 tank limit seems to apply to the first round only....Speaking of the numbers of Pravda i thought ten tanks was the maximum number allowed in a match yet i am counting fifteen tanks on Pravda side. Still even tho Katchusha called Oarai a no name school and insulted there tanks she certainly made sure she brought more then enough force to win. symbv said: Miho looked in the direction of the Tiger like she knew what it was.Aversa said: If you watch the last episode again, you would see that it is never shown they discovered the tank. The tank was only shown to us but not to them.Tho they showed the Tiger during last episode they didn't use it during this one neither was anything mentioned about it. That why i am asking about it. symbv said: I hope so as well.I hope there is a honestly clever way that Miho will use to win this match, and perhaps it will be good enough to at least get her mother (and perhaps Hana's mom too) soften a little bit. It would be nice if Miho can convince her mother that there are more ways to win then just the way her mother believes in. And that Hana shows that she can gun a tank as well as she can arrange flowers. |
| Nonna & co start singing Katyusha -> my jaw hit the floor. My fav version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdweaKOd7WY Now Miho and her team can do 2 things - either try to make a break or try to fortify their position and hope the whole building won't collapse. Both options are bad. It would've been better if they didn't rush, but their morale was too high and they lost control (sort of like panic, but the other way around). Being cool headed ftw! Due to that and some tactical camping I managed to get 10 frags (3k dmg) on my m18... |
| Omg when they started singing in Russian I nearly fell off my chair. Did not expect that. I wonder how they'll get out of the situation they're in. Seems so unlikely that I can't wait to see how they'll pull it off. |
 |
| They need help of TIGER! like in Korsun Pocket or Kamieniec Podolski Pocket. :) |
| About number of units, how about it being tied to the terrain. Still need confirmation of Antzio’s deployed units to make sure if the number only goes up. The snow field is definitely more difficult than the island field when battling the Saunders, so perhaps higher allowance is allowed to balance the participants against the elements, while smaller numbers is allowed in case the participant have their own strategical advantage such as team that fight better with smaller number even if they have many tanks available. They now have 3 hours break. While sending help is hard to justify in competition, can Maho contact her sister through radio ? Maybe to inform Miho of their mother's decision. Although it sounds like a bad idea to add more pressure to the commander in that state. Actually when Hana's mother is shown, I'm hoping Miho's mother will come and sit next to her. Then they can have their own scene. Although that seems unlikely. Hana’s mother seems like she prefer arguing but Miho’s mother doesn’t take no for answer. |

However, love that finally Soviet tanks shows up in winter settings.

| A great episode, with many enjoyable scenes (Mako and Rommel vs Sodoko, more Darjeeling, the Student Council photographs, the battle, and the butchered Russian song that I still loved). It also seems that Maho doesn't think of ill of Miho, not only had she not said anything insulting to her in previous episodes, but she seemed to be genuinely sad during her talk with the mom. I hope for a very climatic scene with her in the last episode, maybe throwing away the match and making Black Forest lose or something like that. 4/5. |

| The team got reckless and drove right into the enemy's trap. High morale is good, but it made them act rashly. They even stopped listening to Nishizumi; their commander. Way to put pressure on her at the very last second by dropping a bombshell like that! How the hell is she going to think up a good strategy with the risk of the school being disbanded? Maybe they'll escape the building by shooting a hole in the back... |

| This is the summary of the official twitter about Ep.8 - Uesaka (Nonna's seiyuu) taught everyone the Russian pronunciation. - Those who have not noticed, please take a good look at the school emblem of Pravda school. - The names of Sodoko, Gomoyo and Pazomi were coined by Mizushima the director. - The PzIV not only got a longer gun and a bunch of structural modification, the Anko mark also got bigger. - The jacket worn by Momo at the kotatsu scene (Anko-nabe dinner) is a Luftwaffe leather jacket. It is something Director Mizushima dearly wants. - Of course Katyusha is a nickname. She has her real Japanese name. - For the Ooarai team, only the Stg III has been equipped with winter track. - Only the Stg III got winter camouflage, and there is a reason for that. - It is Director Mizushima's idea to have the Pravda girls singing "Katyusha". It was decided way back in screenplay draft stage. - However, the idea of having the war cry "Uraaaaa!" before the singing came from Uesaka (Nonna's seiyuu) and was added during the voice recording. - In the last part of the Katyusha singing, almost the entire cast of GirlPan joined in the singing lol - The Katyusha singing scene will of course appear in the BD/DVD of GirlPan released in Japan, but it may not come up if it is released in other countries. - The idea of the characters Katyusha and Nonna came from Shimada, who was responsible for character original design (he was also the design for Strike Witches as well). He made the suggestion back in the screenplay draft stage. - Sugiyama, a producer of GirlPan, said winter battle reminds him more the Battle of the Bulge than the Russian Front. - Yukawa, another producer of GirlPan, jokingly said Sugiyama insisted on adding the "Nuts" comments in the screenplay during the winter battle. - Katyusha was a song common in primary school music textbook when Sugiyama was a pupil but he is not sure if the song is still being taught in schools in Japan. - B1bis is heavy but Mako is smart enough to climb the slope by zigzagging up. - We had planned for more witticisms from Darjeeling as well as history reference comments from the History Girl Team in many episodes, but because of length limit we had to cut them. - Sugiyama commented he was impressed with the CGI used to depict the softness of snow via showing the operation of the suspension system on it. He wants to thank Graphnica, the company which did the CGI. |

| Good stuff is good. Reading in these forums that all of this was more or less a homage to Stalingrad makes it even better. I was wondering what the "nuts!" line meant, thanks for the info guys. I actually got into this series because of the Katyusha song scene and I'm glad I did. Just a well done scene that shows how serious these girls are about all this. It'll be interesting to see how Miho gets her group out of this. |
