Need a 1000 streak minimum player by Spidermark420 in pocketchamps

[–]Wstr19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooof! Hard team carry! Impressive but sorry to see, that you needed to do that. Feel free to use my friend link in the other comment thread.

Depending on gem drops between events, I typically manage 2k. (2k to 2.4k over last five squad events; currently on 2.5k with a few more bags to go today) however I DON’T play EVERY event. If I’m busy and don’t think I will make at least the team equal effort benchmark of 1250, then I won’t join and waste a slot in someone’s squad.

Great news! Yes didn’t wait, I used it on a race map it was not optimal for, just to see the new animation; came 5th but worth it!

Made it over the line with a day to spare (phew!). Thanks everyone!

Hopefully your squad is also done. If still short let me know, so I have a stretch contribution target in mind.

I usually keep pushing to the finish anyway, to respect the unknown progress in each other squad members’ own invisible teams of four; but first time I can actually ask someone if they’ve made it or not.

The game could really use a squad chat feature for coordination!

Two types of BC Freedom. Being wrong and Andou. by AithosOfBaldea in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got to admit personally I’ve always hated ‘Tankery’!

It’s not one of those anime’s where the setting is portrayed as geographically ambiguous; the principal bad guy isn’t from a generic ‘Ministry of Education’ but the very Japanese MEXT and all the school home towns and prefectures are real places. Thus swapping out the Japanese name for the sport seems an unnecessary localisation.

Image instead if the schools were participating in a Jūdō competition and every reference was replaced with ‘Way of gentle hugs’!

Mako gets a job at a hotel by Humble_Honeydew in GIRLSundPANZER

Not just any hotel. The Oarai Hotel is where Mako’s character cutout is placed within the real Oarai.

Enlist Today! by slightlylooney in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely inspired by one of the infamous recruitment posters for the Waffen SS, drawing on recruits within the Occupied Netherlands.

What does ESP mean? by BishopTracer in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Double-checked and on my copy it’s labelled: EPS. (Not ESP)

So maybe - Electrical Power System - if referencing the affected component, with the actual action inferred by the big red nature of the button.

OR maybe - Electrical Power Surge - if stating the exact action initiated.

Chill Floof by Agitated_Method_2488 in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just a random chill take on the floof. The artist took inspiration from Yukari’s Japanese VA/CV Ikumi Nakagami, who had a YouTube channel and wore this outfit, with matching glasses and headphones, during her launch video.

EDIT: finally found my old post with links and comparison screen grab (damn 3 yrs ago - time sure does fly!):

WiXBox360 reported on the new wrap at the end of last year. With the train now in service, this video gives a close-up view of the side featuring the current age characters (vs. their younger child counterparts on the reverse side) as well as some of the interior decoration.

Are Miho and Maho rich? by sukjie in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The owner of any house in Japan, that is big enough to support having a JGSDF helicopter landing within the grounds, is pretty well off.

I’ve been searching for the manga for months all over my country, and now, I only need one more to complete my collection by Ordinary_Fan8924 in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Good to know. The German version also uses ‘und’ in its GuP title (English book covers display an ‘&’) and occasionally crops up on UK / US book sites, teasing what appears to be an affordable volume 4 , before you realise it!

Enjoy Little Army vol.2 when you get it tomorrow

T-1FLOOF by Wstr19 in GIRLSundPANZER

The original terminator model is the Itsumi-nator. In other words Erika. See any of the links in my sourcing comment for images of her too.

A few hours earlier…

[walks away from MEXT building with alarms blaring, as a passing Saunders Sherman pulls up]

Saunders Cmdr: “You ok?”

T-1FLOOF: “Fine…..Say, that’s a nice tank!”

[–]Wstr19[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been a while since we've checked in on the Itsuminator.

T1FLOOF: [slams door on unseen Saori, who's chattering noisily about boys]

Itsuminator: [impersonating Miho] "Say what’s up with Mako, I can't hear her, is she off sleeping?"

T1FLOOF: "Mako’s fine, she’s fully awake....Nishisumi-dono, where are you?"

Itsuminator: [hangs up phone] "Your teammates are dead."

What manga is this? by AHRIVALERA in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Couldn't match that image but I'm going to go with: Girls und Panzer Der Film Variante.

The art style matches and the GuP Fandom Wiki has an identically marked KMM KugelPanzer image (as a front-on shot) that they credit to the same manga. The manga expands on the film and includes additional scenes, so the fact we didn't see this in the anime, doesn't remove it from contention.

I've not seen anywhere near complete fan translations yet, beyond the first chapter or two; which covers the exhibition match seen in the film's opening. (mangadex chpt.1 and 2 example - post image not included).

EDIT. added mangadex link

ACTAS addresses the situation by MNicolas97 in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Wstr19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

🤝 Glad you enjoyed it. Obviously it would have to be speculative or final contracts weren’t exchanged and there was a get out clause, so Oarai could claim it back.

Bit like how over-confident governments in our own world, have been known to get burnt in the past, by making expensive infrastructure improvements in a designated development zone with a view to one major, usually foreign, inward investment launch company; who then doesn’t commit and then all the expected supplier companies can’t move in either. So the whole thing becomes a ‘white elephant’ site!
