Regarding the tank action is Girls und Panzer, it's pretty safe to say that there's no possible way that they could have produced those same scenes using traditional animation, at least for a TV production from 2012. Not only was there a huge volume of mechanical objects engaging in action but the camera work would have been hugely taxing in traditional animation, especially the 1st person sequences or any sequence with a lot of moving background art.
Of course, that's not to say that PS1 cutscene level graphics are acceptable or anything, but just that this was only this show was ever going to get made with those same shots.

And now you can vote for it this year.
Adding Strike witches name into it is a insult to GuP. GuP put strike witches and uprotte to shame and have shown how to do girls with weapons.
I see my friends are slowly warming up to the future. I hope my army can keep marching on in Spring with the next Yoshida-CG-action vehicle!
I don't even know why I read blogsuki, if the post doesn't piss me off than the comments will.
Wait, I know now. :/
They did ditch that scrolling ground texture from the beginning of the show. The CG work as a whole improved, I think - some of the stuff at the end of this episode, I don't think they could have done earlier in the production.
Strike Witches > GuP
GuP had bad character designs and Majestic Prince does as well, I see a pattern here.

Yeah, I read that blogsuki post awhile back but felt no inclination to link it to here.
Wait, what movies with more unique concepts?!

So I get the feeling I should watch Girls und Panzer.

Somehow I get the feeling that no one will be tell us one way or the other since they already stabbed their eyes out.

The questionable practices of safety and physics does drive you to drink though. Ignoring that makes it a great show.
SW combat was pretty good too.
Ah yes. We use live ammo, but we practice safety. Then every other team captain sticks head out of tank and team scrub flees the tank while it is being fired upon. No one gets any disciplinary action.
But they emphasis alot on fanservice which GuP doesn't. It's non-stop tank action.

Great. I needed an excuse to watch something like this anyway. I love anime about military women.
Because real women drive tanks.
So it was a 2D platformer this whole time.

Real lolis are also at least 17 years of age or older.
Don't gimme them puny fake lolis that are 7 years old or something.
Well, I suppose you are the expert.
I think I liked that gif better out of context, when I thought it was a solitary female recoiling at horror of the military industrial complex propaganda as her classmates bought into it. Then it just turns out to be fairly mundane.

Actually with WWII era tanks women would have been usually better crew for the tank as the tanks had so little space inside.
Girls und Panzer 12
What an impressive ending for the show. I was really pleasantly surprised with how the show saw the main character's arc through while managing to give the cast at large a chance to shine. All of this happened while GuP got a little emotional without ever dwelling on anything or feeling heavy handed, meaning the series could accomplish what it wanted to while maintaining its very affable and unique tone.
Well we talking about the combat sequence.. All agree GuP is far better show.

Seed had a good story but a horrible cast(kira yamoto especially). Seed Destiny was actually also good until it turns into shit the last 15 episodes when Jesus shows up at every battle lol. I have yet to see the original Gundam and others, the one I'll never watch is AGE, I mean we all have seen kids controlling robots but in AGE they look exceptionally young to control them.

Well usually I would agree but they have gone so fast trough all the light novels that I thought that they are going for anime original ending. Well hopefully you are right. I have really enjoyed Haganai. This second season has been billion times better than the first.

Right typo, it's meant to be gattai which means combine and is thrown around in this instance to describe the squid bunny combo attack. (and whenever people combine in anime)
As for the cat mouse play line I borrowed it from SDBurton's review from episode 9 or so because it fits the interactions between Haruka and her 'toy'.

Well it got interesting towards the end, but the show itself was pretty boring. Oyashiro sama's curse, the way the episodes were set, a new chapter every 5-6 episode made me lose interest and after a pause of 4 months I just recently found the courage to finish watching it. it failed as a horror/thriller. Not recommending due to the tedious pacing and plot.
Score: 2/10
Will I watch the ova and sequel? Yes, I like to watch everything from a show no matter how bad it was for completions sake.

This show actually deals with Unit 731. You have no idea how pleased I am.
Jexhius may have been right; because of some of the longer detours this show takes, I think I may have forgotten some important details about Kinuko that are vital to the stuff going on now. I think I've got a handle on things, but it's a little confusing. Eno's habit of jumping about three logical steps ahead in every conversation makes life harder than it needs to be. But that's part of what makes him fun to watch. Most detectives like that would say, "And how did I know that, you ask?" and then fill in the blanks, but Eno just charges full speed ahead. His conversations are like his driving. He doesn't care whether or not we're comfortable going at his pace.
The plotlines that are moving forward now are the ones that I've been the most interested in since the early episodes of the show. I'll be watching the next episode shortly.

I like how this episode snuck in a visual metaphor about science to add some subtext to its exposition.

Maybe I'm shallow, but when this episode did a burning-film transition into a film-reel flashback, I creamed my jeans. For a show with moderate budget and CG cars, it's always had a lot of visual creativity.

Female teacher is about to be wed to her lover of who knows when, then sister's boyfriend comes along and teaches her the ways of the dong while her fiancé is at work or some shit. It's porn, it's fappable, and I don't know why Extol hasn't reviewed this shit yet.

Well, that was a lot of information. That episode was practically wall-to-wall exposition. About events that I had almost forgotten. Good thing I could go back to Jexhius's exhaustive recap of events through Episode 5 and get back up to speed. I had totally forgotten who Suzuki was.
All the pieces of the puzzle are rapidly being assembled before our eyes. Parts of this episode do a great job of complementing Kyougokudou's speech, as usual. I guess I can point to a few parts that impressed me. But it's hard for me to comment on the mystery as a whole, since there's an important element of this puzzle that still has to be explained next episode.
I liked how as soon as Kyougokudou started explaining things, Kiba immediately said, "Get to the point!" Fat chance, buddy.
I need to spend some more time thinking about what mouryou are so that I can have some quality analysis ready for when the series is over.

The quick cuts in this rotating shot emphasize all the different perspectives in the room, illustrating the truth of Kyougokudou's insight.

There's some significance in the cavernous nature of the lab. It fills the entire screen here.
