PLOT
You may have heard of kung fu, but the girls at Oarai High School
practice gun-fu - really, really BIG 75mm gun-fu, in fact. It's called
Sensha-do, and it's the martial art of operating armored tanks! They
take it seriously too, and since winning the national Sensha-do
championship is such a huge deal at Oarai, they sometimes go to extreme
ends in order to get the best students from Panzer class to sign up.
Which is how Miho Nishizumi, who HATES operating tanks, gets drafted to
join doomsday-driven driver Mako, even-triggered gunner Hana, highly
receptive radio operator Saori and combustible tank-fangirl and loader
Yukari as the incomparable Anko Team. They may not be on the half-track
to fame and fortune, and maybe a few of them would rather shop for tank
tops than become tops in tanks, but once their focus is locked and
loaded, they're absolutely driven. Review
First of all, I know the series isn't fully out, but this is what I've gathered from what I've watched.I'm impressed with the way the Panzer IV Ausf. D and the StuG III looked. Was also great see the M3 Grant (going off of the Lee having 7 crew members and the Grant having 6, but that could be developer oversight or crew shortage) and Panzer 38(t) getting some love. The sounds are also decent, not quite there, but that'd ruin the atmosphere of the show.
Character design and story are lacking, but its your typical moe blob, so thats that. But as the later episodes come out, the story may or may not improve. Hoping they'll explain how they stay safe inside the tanks while they are shooting AP and worse case APCR rounds at each other. And non-penetrating rounds could still cause spalling, and that's almost worse than getting penetrated.
Also since they've show M4 Shermans and the Panzer VI Tiger, I wonder how long they're going to have the 75mm/L24 (Since it wasn't designed for tank killing), and upgrade to the 75mm/L43 or L48.
But only time can tell how the rest of the show is going to pan out, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next episodes.
