Girls und Panzer

Girls und Panzer Der Film wins one of Japan's most prestigious Science-Fiction awards.

Congratulations are in order.

CONGRATULATIONS!

........

Wait, Garupan counts as science-fiction? Sidonia I get, but I don't see anything science-fictiony about Garupan.

The carbon lining, supercarrier cities not enough? Those alone qualify for Spec-Fic.

OK, I dare you guys to look at this and not laugh your asses off.

Sorry, couldn't hold back the laughs.

Challenge complete.

Sooo deadly, within freedom to run.

So, does that mean Shiho is actually Akuma?

No, it means that either her unseen dad or an ancestor of either said dad or her mom is almost certainly either Akuma or a Captain Ersatz.

Erika has learned the "Joestar Family Secret Technique" quite well.

"Nigerunda yo!"

Also, congratulations to Girls und Panzer Der Film for winning a Seiun Award! (Joining the likes of Space Battleship Yamato—both the original and the 2199 iteration—and Cowboy Bebop? Damn... )

Time to really shut down the school for real again.

... Please tell me it's not about a planned new movie whose premise is that MEXT is trying to shut down Ooarai Girl's Academy yet again. Seriously, failing twice wasn't enough?

If there is a continuation, I hope they devise a novel way to keep Girls und Panzer fresh and interesting. The "school being closed" thing really only works once, and with the movie, it was a bit of a stretch. It won't work a third time

IMO, the movie wasn't a total rehash/retread of the TV series plot, they just explore the possibility of what if MEXT didn't kept their word in not decommissioning Oarai since it was just a verbal agreement between the Anzu/Yuzu/Momo and MEXT guy. Besides, the movie showed the schoolship being closed and how the characters handled it and they just need to win a battle with the University team in order to take back the schoolship from total closure(this time there's a written document so no excuses). It's a different story in the sequel though, now then I'll now complain.

So the time has finally come.

World Sensha-do tournament!

Couldn't just be a tournament?

They've been subtly making mentions of this in the series and the movie. Heck, one of the objectives of MEXT in promoting Sensha-Do in the story is because Japan is going to host the World Tournament. IIRC Maho and Alice have already been selected as part of the national team and Shiho is being offered a position related to this (which she almost declines due to the treatment of Ooarai in the movie),

Given GnP's track record of bringing up topics and characters who have only been mentioned in passing, It would make sense that the show would someday touch upon this major event. Also, I want to see other countries' approach to Sensha-Do. And I think there's a character in the Little Army manga who was once Miho's crewmate, but had to go and live in Germany. She might come back as the head or at least a part of the German Sensha-Do crew.

In any case, closing down Ooarai again would not be a good storyline,

World Sensha-Do Tournament..

They need to win Worlds, or this time all the school ships will be closed.

Ooarai apparently has Goliath tracked mines and blimps now

What's that a PV for?

For the next iteration. Still no news if its a series or another movie.

You think with all the success Ooarai has gotten, they'd be raking up the money from either private supporters or the damn government.

Still, good to know there's a new Gn P coming up.

"But isn't that dangerous?"

"Don't worry, their fatigues are coated with carbon. Perfectly safe."

Why would there be infantry in a Sensha-do match? That spells all sorts of danger.

Gotta love the new winter setting :) Hoping it won't be a movie under any circumstance, otherwise, with the TPP knocking on our doorsteps, there won't be a chance to see it at all.
