And to anyone that I pissed off, I'm sorry. no more hate on the series. I totally understand the fandom now.


You certainly didn't piss me off, I just like to remind people that words have meaning :-)


Oh okay. That's cool then.

I just thought you were mad when you said that my mom told me I had no friends because I was a smug twat or something like that a few pages back.

Hello. My Name is Daniel. I've been an anime fan for some time now. (Maybe 7 years or so.) I have recently been effected with this unusual condition/complex. I do not understand why I feel this way, as a never felt this way in my life before, but I recently developed an attraction to Lolis from animes. I think I has something to do with how I recently started exploring the new 2012 anime lineup. It's not a sexual kind of attraction, just a regular attraction, which I cant fully explain. This is quite embarrassing. To be honest, they're pretty hot. (Does this make me a pedophile?)

I'm afraid to talk about this in real life, for the fact that most of my real life friends arent anime/manga fans at all. In fact, I only know about 2 people that actually follow anime/manga (Mainstream ones such as Naruto, Bleach, etc.)

I'm a straight 16 year old Chinese male. I like females my age in real life. (Large chested, Developed body parts, etc.) I'm afraid that if my parents find out, they'll disown me. My father has very great expectations of me. (He wants me to study hard so I could go to med school and become a Doctor someday.) I usually spend about half an hour a day watching anime.

I really don't get it. I am 100% sure that I am not attracted to Children in real life, so why the heck am I attracted to Lolis in anime. Guys. What do you think of my condition? Is it normal? Or maybe i'm losing my mind? I'm honestly really creeped out about myself. And I feel really dissapointed in myself. Should I go to a psychologist to try and get rid of this attraction? I don't want to go to jail or anything. :(


Whoa. Some revelation I'd say. Been having some of that resonance recently myself.

Enjoying Panzer depends on if you're one of those EDGY and MATURE teenagers(See P-P fans).
The legal age of consent in Japan is 13, so shota is totally legal in Japan. In some western countries shota might be considered child porn.

Was what I said true?? Nah, just having some fun at your expense. You sort of reminded me of the type of kid who wants to play with others, but is shy and has to attack them instead.

As for your confession that was posted. No, there is no connection. 2D is 2D, 3D is 3D, don't confuse the two and you will have a happy and healthy life and be able to enjoy loli anime to your heart's content. That is the wonderful thing about fantasy: it isn't reality. Only very dull boring self-righteous individuals confuse the two.

I don't get why this show has a lower rating than SAO. Production work is obviously several tiers higher.

Sao, despite how bad we think it is, makes up for the fact that it appeals to a wider demographic, based on the summary alone, most anime fans would be interested in watching something like that. Minimalistic conversations to people like, "oh badasse dude with a sword stuck in a virtual mmorpg by a mad scientist guy and if he dies in a game he dies in real life, and the only way to escape is to clear the game." compared to if you were telling your friends about GuP, "oh its about a bunch of girls participating in tank versus tank combat. The scenes with the tanks are very realistic, oh yeah, and the characters take the combat very seriously. And it's a show that makes you feel good and you just sit back and relax, while watching this light-hearted show.

I can never understand in what way SAO is shit, especially the first arc, I swear, I can never.

Just in case the original question hasn't been answered yet?

Panzers + Cute girls = WIN!

And... other adorable stuff too!

This show is simply adorable! Well made, fun and funny, engaging characters and mysterious situations, well written and expertly produced.

YES! It has flaws! Tons of them! But it's not a "PHD Thesis Paper" it's ANIME!!! Name one anime that doesn't have flaws... see? The "good bits" easily overpower the "bad stuff" in GuP.

The director of Girls und Panzer, Tsutomu Mizushima, is famous for saying:

「パンチラ厳禁!戦車無理すんな!」

"Panties are strictly forbidden! Tanks must be accurately depicted!"

Apparently, the tanks are very, very accurate. But since the director made such an
emphasis on technical and historical accuracy, it is fun for fans who are tank experts
to try to spot the few mistakes. Furthermore, Mizushima promised that the mistakes
would be corrected on the Blu-ray/DVD version.

"Panties are strictly forbidden! Tanks must be accurately depicted!"

I completely agree with this philosophy! It makes G&P stand above the rest IMHO!
Sure, 'fan service' and 'pantsu' are fun! But over use distracts from, rather than adds to, the anime as a whole. Except in Strike Witches, where it happens so often you just ignore it...

There's TONS of mistakes to complain about! LOLZ! Most aren't important though. Complaining is fun!

Many 'mistakes' are because otherwise the story would suffer, and that's accepted as part of "suspension of disbelief" I think. Some can be "explained away" by technology or other "cheats". Others are glaring, but in the end? Who cares! Cute Girls + Panzers!

Part of the fun of the show in Japan is the close tie to Ōarai. The town's Anglerfish Festival went from 30,000 to 60,000 to 100,000 people since GuP started. One of the city council members built a tank. There's GuP stuff all over town. You can even find it in Google StreetView:

The gas station in the final victory parade scene in GuP has banners congratulating the team: http://goo.gl/maps/CkCNV

They've become Ōarai's home team.

Bleh. Girls und Panzer has really weak characters. They're tropes and so simple to summarize. But the premise is entertaining.

The first time i started watching it, i only watched it up to Ep 9 (in a real cliffhanger episode). After that, i put on-hold for the time being. Why? I have no idea.

Few months pass, and i see that it's on Netflix. Since it's been too long the last time i watched it, i decided to watch it from the beginning and this time, made it to the end. I'll be honest, i liked it. There are plently of series that i liked much, but this impacted me so much. Is it the characters, the music, the action? That's one question i can't really answer. Not only that, but this series has made happy. I have no idea why, but that's how i like it.

Also, something that i usually don't buy are all the merchandise related to anime and manga, but this one is exception. I own some figures, tank models, sountracks, you name it.

Finally, i should mention that i've watched GuP three times. It seems that no matter how many times i watch it, it doesn't bore me at all. Also, with Das Finale still going, i'll be enjoying this for few more years before it finally ends.
