Is price really the reason if 10K people are buying Kuroko Basketball BDs, and I guess 15K or so are getting the DVD's of it? Probably multiple issues with the anime and lack of appeal/quality vs prices, imo.

That was S1's episode 7. Easy to get mixed up considering they're both super episodes.
Is this the one with the full on nudity?

It's an ok show with a tepid ending. There are better shows from the same studio you could watch.

Chuunibyou 2? The first season was so boring I dropped it after a couple of episodes, so yeah, that's not too interesting sounding...
Ah. Yes, the second episode does somehow manage to be even worse than the first one, and it's not even close. That kind of serious story, in Milky Holmes? What in the world? Sure, they try to put in some humor, but it doesn't work because of everything else.
I hadn't heard that word before I think, but yeah, it's a pretty amusing combination.
Okay. Yeah, poor Hibari is pretty much the prey... until Yagyuu shows up to save her, of course.

Chuu2 is pretty average but easily loses its way as each episode goes on. Visual genjutsu's, Yuuta's voice, and most of the Chuunibyou stuff were really the only hightligths.
Not nearly enough to offset a big price decrease. If you look at the volumes of anime that sell their first volumes at half-price, the sales difference between the first volume and the second aren't enough to make up for the discount.

Yeah, the only way I could ever see the system changing is if the whole industry collapses.

I just can't help but cheer for the one with the slasher smile.

I have a hard time choosing between the last episode of Chooney and SAO 24 for the worst single episode of anime that aired last year. I have no fucking clue how a second season even works now that the dramazzzzzzzzz are resolved and everyone decided to continue living in their idiot bubbles forever. 12 episodes of narrative-free uguuu LARPing?

Would be so good if it was for summer, if they can get 25 or so episodes of it again. Is there enough material to maybe even do a third season eventually?

HEY GUYS I HEARD KYOANI IS THE BEST STUDIO EVE-
--oh.
--oh.
Strike Witches and Girls und Panzer aren't the same kind of show. GuP dedicates large amounts of time to its sports matches, whereas Strike Witches dedicates more of its time to characterization. GuP is an exciting and enjoyable show, but I got into the characters more in Strike Witches.
Unlike apparently most of AnimeGAF, I don't live in Japan so I won't see the last two episodes until tomorrow when Crunchyroll shows them, but I'm not expecting that impression to change.
Exactly. The tank matches are great. Really great. But...that's basically all GuP has going for it.
I do like GuP; it's my favorite show from fall 2012. But I don't see myself watching it again, whereas I always want to spend more time with the Strike Witches characters.
Haha. Yeah GuP designs are, well I wouldn't go as far as to call them bad but it's certainly a step down from Takamura's adaption of Fumikane's illustrations.
Takamura can even get me to watch that dumb mess of a show that is Vividred.
SW cast ages span a range from 12 to 20. There's something for everyone!
Well OK there's no actual MILFs but the 18-year-old acts motherly and has a
widow-ish
Speak for yourself!
People are pretending they watched it for the plot and the "character development"? Cute.

I would agree, except the problem is that the characterization is focused on broom riding and upskirts and other various moments of sexualization/fetishization.
I would say Saki is the toned down version of what you think Strike Witches is in relation to GooP

Evangelion episode 19 and onwards, but that was more tactfully handled.

To be fair, Miho didn't know that they were already at the end of the episode.
The SW anime is more like a typical magical girl show with monster of the day plot etc. - just without pants and with WWII references. GuP is maybe the purest old-school underdog-sport show since Taisho Baseball Girls.

Lots of shows would kill for those numbers. Kyoto Animation's outstanding, er, animation, is what's doing Tamako in.
I blame Dezaki.

It's not Fractale level bomba but that's not very good for an original anime project.

Just wondering...did Strike Witches, when it was broadcasted, bring out the WWII air force amateur historians out in force, just like how GuP episode discussions tend to devolve into "This tank sucks" arguements?
I'm not exactly sure what this is but I think I'm more surprised that the user name "Hitlersaurus Christ" was approved.

I didn't watch it while it was airing, but there are certainly people who have watched this who have a fair amount of knowledge of the pilots the witches were based on/WWII in general. There was also lots of specula like one of these images for every episode:

Strike Witches isn't bad, but it's nowhere remotely near GuP's level. They are very different though, so they shouldn't be too directly compared, but yeah, GuP is far better, if they must be.
And yes, GuP 12 was awesome and great and I want more of this show. Everyone should buy it so they make a second season.

Those are really just references, though, not things integral to the plot like GuP's tanks are. The difference is that GuP is directly about the tanks, while in Strike Witches, any historical references are just passing mentions or visual things that have no actual bearing on the actual series. Strike Witches really pays no attention to historical accuracy, and just tosses stuff in to interest fans. GuP isn't like that.
I don't know, Saki and Saki Achiga-hen are that as well... though I guess you might call that a little less purely focused on that because of the yuribait/etc. elements? But the mahjong makes up a huge part of the series, and both protagonist teams are very much underdogs, Achiga maybe even more so than Kiyosumi. Saki Achiga-hen is recent and is absolutely in that category of shows.

That reminds me of the Sora no Woto 4chan nerds and their speculah charts. lol

Those are also fun charts, which is why I wish I had started watching airing anime earlier.
Well I can't really argue with that. It did reveal that there are a bunch of history nerds that also have a love for animal ears and butts.
I'm in this list.

You should be proud. I'm on it as well as cool cats like Narag, Dresden, Lafiel and BGBW.
Yeah there is enough material for a third season. Where they left off in the anime they had a long way to go before the Winter Cup tournament begins.
I like to think that, if you look at it the right way, GuP is at least half a mecha anime...while still being a sport anime.
Nah, can't agree with that. Oh Strike Witches has lots of visual service. But that's a separate matter from characterization.
Obviously T&A service is a huge turn-off for many people, so I don't mean to imply people who hate that should force themselves to watch Strike Witches.
Just saying, as someone who isn't turned off by that, I like Strike Witches' characters more than GuP's.
Ah well, the original topic was "girls and military." I agree that Saki is much more similar to GuP than Strike Witches.
