nseika said: Simply put, yes. However, they are course settings - like using a yard stick to measure something 2 millimeters long, and don't account for a whole host of other factors as the author of the Zeiss optic site mentions. Also, the exact type, and quality, of the sighting equipment varied considerably between countries, with Germany usually considered the leader in that regard.So, the ring of numbers around the sight is cannon elevation adjustment ? symbv said: Cool. Much better than the wiki pages I dug up.The most relevant wiki page about the rangefinding shown in this episode is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mil |

| The carrier that Miho & co live on is >7.5km long and 1km wide !! http://blog-imgs-51.fc2.com/y/a/r/yaraon/1351097677.jpg This means the carrier that St. Gloria Academy is located must be at least 15km long !!! I am sure this extra detail must mean something for the world the characters live in and the later story but I am not sure what it is. People still live on the land so it is not as if the land is now uninhabitable. It seems just that all schools are now located on carriers, but why? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I am astounded by the high level of detail they put not only on the tanks but the carriers themselves. |
| Well I can't even say that I liked the action- it was extremely unrealistic. I know it's an anime and all, but I was mindblown. I also generally do not like the characters, so I find the rest of each episode (other than the battles) very boring to watch. So, I skipped it this time. I am now considering dropping it, or only watching the battle scenes. I don't believe the future episodes will be any different, though.. Cannot rate (did not watch full episode, but I rate battle 1.5/5. I did like the interior of the tank and each person's role). |

| Mako made this show even better. |
| This show is turning into the DARK HORSE in this season, as its presale ranking in Amazon Japan has climbed over time and it now sits only below Chuunibyou (and above ToLoveRu Darkness, Little Busters and JoJo) to be the second in the current pre-sales ranking among this season's anime. Many fans in Japan are finding this anime unexpectedly interesting - it is respectable to the concept of the admittedly far-fetched idea of tanks as a school club activity for girls and not treat it as parody, and it also contains a lot of actual information about military, history and tanks. A fine balance between slice of life humor with girls and trivia-minded military/tank portrayal. This turns out to be something truly unexpected to many people including myself. |

| Love the "British Grenadiers March" song during the tank battle. |
| Ho,ho, ho..There are some other outfits called the "Thunder" and "Prada". Maybe it means its an american and a russian school. It'd be great to get some old school Soviet armour in the mix. |

I wouldn't say this is a good anime, but it's not as bas as the titles suggested. You can learn some things while watching those girls doing moe stuff, so I'm OK with this show and probably won't drop it. |
| Would it be awesome to go to school driving a tank in the morning? At least that's what I think when Maho and Hana brought the PIV to pick up Mako. |
| Girls making tanks cute. Somehow this seems like something you'd never see. Meh. There's worse. I must agree about nobody wanting to get up at 6 am. |

| Well,I can't expect to see high ratings for this anime due to jealousy..I mean its girls..riding tanks..what else can make a guy jealous.. |
| Its 420 out there somewhere. |
| Holy Christ the M3 (Pink Tank) team is cute as hell. I'm cheering for them! |

| <pardon my English and attitudes> T_T |
| So Maho suddenly is the new commander. I hope she can handle the pressure. |

| I think you mean Miho and not Maho. Maho is Miho's older sister. |
| team A owned them all LOL. although team D is out due to their own clumsiness LOL reizei is so cute when she looks so sleepy (well... she ALWAYS looks sleepy lol) |

Miho is the most experience and most competitive to be captain. She's already driving tanks since she was ten. Yukari already knew she was into senshado because she seen her in action before. fanks_177 said: team A owned them all LOL. although team D is out due to their own clumsiness LOL reizei is so cute when she looks so sleepy (well... she ALWAYS looks sleepy lol) She's already my instant favorite when I first so her in episode 2.

BUT I FIND HER ADORABLE instead !! Something definitely wrong inside me... |

| Love the way they decorated all of their tanks, that pink one is the best and I just love those girls who are operating it. And I agree with Mako 100%, god that's like torture, making her wake up that early in the morning. She's probably my favorite girl behind Saori in this anime. |
 |
| haha.. i really like reizei. she's my favorite ;) she's like me. i do not want to wake up that early in the morning. |
| Fun anime is fun. And, I don't even mean the dumb kind of fun. Clearly a lot of attention to detail was put into this series and how the Tank works and it only adds to the experience. Also, lol at Maho jumping and doing a face plant on the tank. In fact, Maho seems to be an excellent source of comedy all around. |

| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| As expected of a talented tank commander, a capable crew and a robust machine. Miho's team won their very first engagement even while encircled. The German Panzer IV was a good tank, until the Soviet T-34 came along to counter it. Those credit benefits came in handy after all. It turned into an offer that Mako couldn't resist. Past that, her grandma is something she fears even more than repeating a grade. And so the spartan tank interior turned into a slightly more comfy one for civilian use... but because it's a sports machine in this world, it's fine. Driving a tank around the peaceful neighborhood like it's normal is pretty awesome. Also, it's nice to hear KitaEri's voice in this anime as a fan of hers. |
| Wow, so all that took place on a giant ship at sea? That's interesting. |
 |
| I wonder if painting the tanks vibrant colors is gonna come back to bite them in the ass later on. |

I recall non-premium members only have access to 360p? You may be out of luck if you prefer higher resolution and non-Commie subs. Well, it looks like you're gone through the eps okay though. |
