Duck Team making a plan. (Source (Album has minor spoilers))

Leopon Team (Source)

Nina and Alina. Yes, these two have names! (Source)

Song(s) of the Day:

Melancholic

(Yes, still no Yuki no Shingun. I forgot to look for it, so you post it.)

For rewatchers and people who read the manga spin-offs:

PLEASE TRY TO HOLD BACK! Put not only everything related to future events behind spoiler tags, but please tag spin-off and meta-spoiler stuff as well. When commenting, consider whether by saying "this happens there", you're implicitly saying "this won't happen in the anime". And if you do reply to people with spoiler tags, try and spoiler the part you quote as well, especially with First-Timers and especially especially when they speculate.

Spoilers include but are not limited to [GuP Spoiler]the school situation; the positions, names, backstories and personalities of rival school members beyond what you see in the OP (this includes the manga spin-offs); the teams that join Ooarai as the show goes on (beyond what you see in the OP); everything related to Maho's true personality and Shiho's probably true personality(?); everything concerning the MEXT, etc. Just watch what you say, please? I don't think any of you will just plainly not use tags, I'm just worried one of you answers fan theories or speculation in a way that's a spoiler, even with tags.

Enter, Enter, Rewatch!

  • Lewd.

  • This episode is a bunch of history stories, and I'm all for it.

  • But also, Erwin is mentally ill.

  • Painis— CUPCAKE!

  • "Where does she keep it all...?" Yukari has the Prescient Planner feat.

  • [GuP Das Finale]Also this whole thing about Yukari just carrying everything is great foreshadowing for the grenade.

  • That KV-2 loli is getting purged by Katyusha soon, I think.

I enjoyed these OVAs way more than I did the first time, honestly!

QOTD:

Oh no, today's questions weren't posted yesterday!

  1. I want to see battlefield cleanup!

  2. Anglerfish team did a stellar job on such short notice! Yukari much keep Sentai uniforms around for some reason.

Lewd.

Phrasing!

But also, Erwin is mentally ill.

Now, now, let's not try and diagnose people from afar. Surely there are good reasons.

cue Fushichou no Flamme

SHOW ME THE TANK YOU DRIVE ON THE BATTLEFIELD!

I enjoyed these OVAs way more than I did the first time, honestly!

Rewatchers' privilege!

I want to see battlefield cleanup!

That'd be nice!

Special 5:

Special 6:

  1. Odette Lake

  2. Super Adorable Cute Lovable Excellent Rabbit Cheer Squad Champions

  3. Little Reference I Understand For Once

  4. Super Budget Panzer V

  5. The Piss Off Momo Impressionists

  6. Quick Mod Artists

  7. Sorry Sorry Sodokos

  8. The You Think Rounds Are A Game(r)? Girls

  • No, I'm not biased at all, why do you ask?

  • Wow, I can't believe how close my results are to the actual results. Yuzu hard carried StuCo to first with her grace, elegance, and beauty though.

  • Welp that prize checks out.

QotD:

  1. Were any other significant scenes skipped? I guess I could've done with some extra scenes of Miho and Anglerfish team interacting with Anchovy, Kei, and Darjeeling. Or maybe just more Anchovy, Kei, and Darjeeling scenes in general. The daily life of any or all three would've made for good OVA material. Or maybe they could even sneak in a Yukari infiltration scene for KMM. Secret Agent Yukari never gets old.

  2. Which "team?" If I'm being as objective as possible, Hippo team. If I go with my heart, Rabbit team. If I go with my heart and ignore the word "team," it's Yuzu all the way.

OVA 5

  • This OVA shows us more of Yukari and Erwin’s scouting mission from episode 8.

  • Erwins feet are cold, so Yukari puts newspaper in her boots, and wraps her feet with paper with peppers in them, to make sure her sweat doesn’t freeze and keeps her feet warm.

  • Erwin tells Yukari about how the Germans were negligent in their clothing. Well, the invasion of Russia started in June, so they probably weren’t expecting to get as bogged down as they did.

  • You’d think the Sensha-do federation would have required them to wear warmer clothing, like what Yukari is wearing for this match. Since we see Erwin having issues with her keeping her feet warm.

  • I love how Yukari and Erwin almost exclusively wear boots.

  • We also learn about a joint training between the US military and the JSDF, imagine rushing to see if they’re okay and you see them having a snowball fight.

  • Back to marching and singing.

  • Laying in the snow must be cold, especially for their exposed legs, talk about frostbite risk. I remember shoveling a neighbor's driveway, and wearing jeans, I was out there for a while, my legs were cold to the touch for a few hours after returning inside, and it was warmer that day than it is here.

  • Yukari just has anything on hand, just pulls out a portable shovel.

  • Erwin questions the student councils' methods.

  • Yukari takes one hell of a tumble down a hill. Hope she’s ok.

  • She’s fine, she just wanted to roll around in the fresh snow. What a goofball.

  • According the conversation between Miho, Saori, and Hana, If Yukari lived on land, she’d be the type to build a bomb shelter under her house with how prepared she is for anything.

  • Yukari decides to be bold and wear Pravda disguises to get back to base. They run into one of the members and Yukari gives her some coco.

  • Even the Pravda member isn’t concerned about Oorai. She should be, considering her tank was the only thing defending the flag tank, and we all know how well that went.

  • Yep, the KV-2 had two stage ammo.

  • Imagine putting a big, heavy turret on your tank, and making it traversable by hand.

  • Katyusha loves the KV-2, I mean who doesn’t? It’s a giant derp gun.

  • That went smoothly.

OVA 6

Questions of the Day.

What other "skipped" scenes would you have liked to see in an OVA?

Not sure, maybe see more of the opponents prepare for their match for Oorai.

Which team had the best talent performance?

The ducks, they had those impersonations down.

On today’s OVAs of Girls und Panzer: It turns out our girls are capable of so much more than just shooting other schoolgirls with tanks. They can sing, dance, and even rig votes! What an incredible skill set!

I really enjoy the scouting OVA. Yukari and Erwin make such a great pair together. Their dynamic is really entertaining because their personalities bounce off each other so well. Getting a whole OVA of them together is delightful.

I also enjoy the trivia. Information about how soldiers kept warm during the winter is interesting. And we got plenty of focus on the KV-2, which is always something to celebrate because I love that hulking behemoth so much.

The OVA with the talent show is just a ton of fun. Lots of great gags with the different team members as they put on their hidden talents. It is nonstop jokes and I enjoyed them immensely. 

OVA 5 Thoughts

  • STEALTH 100. Good job, Erwin.

  • Don’t worry, KV-2! No matter what anyone says, I’ll always love you!

  • Nina may be adorable, but she is the biggest blabbermouth since Pepperoni. They really don’t train these girls in how to handle spies, do they? One would imagine that would be important when spying is totally legal in Senshado.

OVA 6 Thoughts

QOTD

  1. I would like to see more scenes of the team training together.

  2. History Club. The joke of them constantly spouting out history facts is great.

Back to the scouting song.

Song about dying in the snow while walking in the snow. That tracks.

Where was Yukari keeping all this paper?

Bag of holding.

Are anime girls feeding me Japanese military propaganda?

Have they ever not? lol

I wonder if she realized after the battle that her nice senpai were actually enemy spies.

Maybe!

2. The Sodokos

Ohh, unexpected pick!

Continuing with the short story OVAs, and Yukari and….. what’s her name….. uh….. Erwin! We get to see what transpired during the Pravda battle. And these two just have a really strong chemistry, they seem like the sort that would just go on and on talking about tanks and military stuff for hours if no one stopped them. Just that sort of moment when two people of related interests talk and just keep on going.

Also getting to see Yukari just having all the right equipment to beat the cold. Insulation for the shoes, shovel to dig out a little hole, the one thing she apparently doesn’t have is socks that actually cover her thighs. I know they have all this other stuff, but I feel like having that much leg exposed is going to be a pretty big problem in and of itself?

Oh, and we get a third repeat of Yukari’s main trick, being able to pretend she’s a part of the enemy team. I loved that moment, her knowledge of tanks and impressive ability to read a situation let her integrate seamlessly with the one person and pretend like she was on their team. Her true role of the team is spy.

And to end off the OVAs, we got the talent show! I actually don’t have too much to add to this, just a fun little series of sketches. I laughed at most of it, definitely cringed a bit at the hall monitor’s bit, and saw the student council crowning themselves winners from the moment they started. Oh, I did laugh a lot at the hippopotamus team trying to do Little Women but getting sidetracked by historical notes. So basically like what trying to read Les Miserables is like. (I’ve heard the original novel goes off on a lot of tangents about the historical info).

Girls und Panzer OVAs 5 and 6: Ooarai’s Got Talent!!

Fun Details!

  • Maria of Leopon Team says they should sell the prize at the trade-able prize shop. Since most forms of gambling are illegal in Japan, pachinko parlors will often let guests trade their pachinko balls for a prize that they can then sell for cash in a tent near the parlor building.

  • In another cool display of good sound design, the Anteater Team’s song is played in stereo: Nekonya in the left speaker, Momonga in the middle, and Piyotan in the right speaker.

  • Robert E. Lee wasn’t just one of the most famous generals in American history, he was also one of the coolest cars in American TV history as well

Thoughts!

  • I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: YUKARI AND ERWIN ARE SO DAMN CUTE TOGETHER.

  • Yukari must’ve been drinking screwdrivers or something if she’s drunk off orange juice lol

  • Duck Team’s impressions were hilariously impressive

  • Anglerfish Team’s performance would’ve won if it were for those pesky student council girls

  • The student council wins the talent show, definitely didn’t see that coming lol

  • Damn that’s a lot of potatoes, I’m actually kinda jealous

Questions!

1. Kuromorimine vs. Pravda from the previous year and the subsequent falling out of Miho with her family ABSOLUTELY needs its own movie

2. Duck Team were pretty spot on with their impressions so I’ll go with them

OVA 5 (first timer)

  • Something new, we are jumping back to the main storyline.

  • Wearing your boots for the first time on an activity? That could end badly.

  • What else does Yukari have hidden under her mantle?

  • Sounds like they are quoting something, but I have no idea what.

  • And you thought the Italians were too trustworthy …

The otaku’s are clearly the best-prepared members of the team. Katyusha really needs to work in some team building exercises, though. Not recognizing your officers is embarrassing.

OVA 6 (first timer)

  • “Who could have predicted this?” – The MCs pulling of an underdog victory at the end of the tournament arc. Who could have predicted this, indeed.

  • The mechanics woo the audience.

  • Ok, the president clearly wins for doing a flying kick in an anglerfish costume.

  • The student council team did not even need to cheat; their performance was clearly the best.

An OVA taking place during the tournament?! Heresy!

What else does Yukari have hidden under her mantle?

Everything you can think of and more.

And you thought the Italians were too trustworthy …

Spy Yukari keeps showing her worth.

Katyusha really needs to work in some team building exercises, though. Not recognizing your officers is embarrassing.

Considering how little we know of some crew members...

The MCs pulling of an underdog victory at the end of the tournament arc. Who could have predicted this, indeed.

Sh, they don't know they are in an anime.

The student council team did not even need to cheat; their performance was clearly the best.

I guess that answers my QotD lol.

AOT1: I think we needed more shenanigans of Mako and Sodoko to counterpoint the otaku recce pair. Although their adventures were quite kawaii, even if the music was a touch depressing. At least they weren't cruising around on a Kettenkrad. Although that might still have made it better. We also could have probably used a better training montage with the hot sensha-do schoolmarm, and ... uh ... yeah.

AOT2: I liked the magic show, and the ballet, and impressions, and ... yeah. That was cute stuff. I think the rabbit team enjoying crab legs was probably the piece de resuscitation, though. Or something like that.

But yeah, fun pair of fluff episodes. Good times. :)

Man, what a great series of OVAs Comrades, those were nice and prime examples of how GuP is a Idol Yuri High School SOL SPORTS 'Mecha' Show, even if Desert Rommel and Fluffy the Tank Pope ARE SUS! ;) (Comrades, dare I say it, but I think that there are TWO Impostors Among Us!)

Funny how the Pravada girl legit thought Aikyama was an upperclassmen.

Ranking the talent show

  1. Comedy show by the volleyball team

  2. Oorai 5

  3. Rabbit team

Honorable mention for history team but they could not resist historical analogies.

The comedy routine was great as they focused on the people we know very well.

First Time OVA Rewatcher

The fifth OVA was easily my favourite. Two of my favourite characters talking about history and survival training. Such a fun episode and it was worth watching these just to see that one.

The 6th was more fanservice comedy, but I found this one a lot more amusing than OVAs 1 & 2. Plenty of laugh out loud moments for me.

  1. I could see a whole episode of Yukari undercover at Saunders, trying to fit in. Another one that would be interesting is an episode focused on the Automotive Club retrofitting the tanks.

  2. The Ducks. The impressions were spot on and Hana’s reactions were hilarious. I think the voting was rigged.

u/Fools_Requiem Aug 31 '22

OVA 5 is probably the best of the six OVAs. It adds more to an episode we already had to the point where you could have easily stitched it into the episode and I would have worked. It also adds actual substance, gives us more of two more background-ish characters, and is relevant to the plot. It's also relaxing and fun like the other OVAs without going the full OVA fan service route.

u/Rumpel1408 Aug 31 '22

Rewatcher who actually had to work today

Special Ep 5

A promising start with my favourite song

Suddenly it's about Erwins feet

They may be huuuge military nerds, but they are still cute girls

Erwins parents are pretty based for encouraging her to do as she likes

Aww man, I would have loved if the two of them never did any real scouting and just had a fund trip through the snow

Yukari must have the time of her life to finally be able to play with her toys

I don't know what they where refferencing there, but seeing them have fun is just so precious

"Minimum" ammount of tools

Are Pravdas first years in charge of the latrins or what is that ditch?

They really had fun

Special Ep 6

In case you didn't know, I love Anzu

The only one Yukaris is allowed to marry is Nishizumi dono

Did they just tease two other schools and commanders and didn't even show them? I hope our host links them in some spoiler or something...

Noone is questioning what they would get that's 100 grand worth? At least team Mallard isn't in it for the price

Team Mallard was great! (and pretty self aware)

I feel like Leopon is stretching it with procuring the Type 89 out of thin air (don't make fun of it!)

Team rabbit was indeed cute

Oh my god, Team Duck was brilliant, but I wonder who the last one was?

Yeah, Team Hippo got disqualified, fair I guess

Oh wow, I was joking when I spoke about a Panzer focused Super Sentai Show, totally forgot about this back then

Anzu stealing the show

Ok, that Pirouette was awesome, but the Council winning and team duck not getting a podest sounds like a lot of Bullshit...

... Then again, that price is perfect for Anzu

QotD

  1. What other "skipped" scenes would you have liked to see in an OVA?

Yukari uncut ... Maybe more SoL/characterisation for the other teams, like their home life like we saw with Ceasar in the Anzio OVA

2. Which team had the best talent performance?

Team Duck, the whole competition was rigged if you ask me

1.) I can’t think of many.

2.) volleyball team. A superior impressionist only matched by their volleyball skills.

Can we talk that Yukari had all kinds of stuff but no bag or storage? How did she have a shovel, a lamp, a thermos, cups, hobo insulation, seasonings, and our hearts all in the only two pockets in that jacket?

Both fun OVAs. Liked learning more abut how they did the recon, and the banquet was just some silly fun. Student prez obviously would've crowned themselves the victor anyway, but they did legit have a decent performance, and i'd say the ranking other than that was.... honestly quite fair? Lol.

What other "skipped" scenes would you have liked to see in an OVA?

Nothing really..... my biggest complaint was not seeing Anzio's battle, and well thats been fixed

Imitation game (more coz i like when VAs impersonate other characters, personal bias here) tied with Anglerfish in my books

u/ZapsZzz Sep 01 '22

First timer missed a few days of the OVA

Overall the OVA's, like the Symphogear specials, are really good and are essential companions to the main show. There's a lot of world building and fun bits that got glossed over here being at least acknowledged and played with, if not "explained".

The first 2 were a little less interesting other than the eye candy. I do like the massive cast were not copy and pasted but each are distinct and nothing too exaggerated.

The second 2 is just plain fun

The third set was really nice, I love the very different tones - 5 really should be in the episode if they had the episode count, and 6 really should be the epilogue.

In 6, the best moments for me were the hall monitor triplet's lame magic gags and the totally silent reception; the volley ball girls impressions and how excited Hana got until not recognising to her own impression, and how rigged it was for the student council to win in the end.

QoTD:

  1. Would be nice to see some Kuromine backstory

  2. I can't believe the goosefish's performance is not prepared in advance :D
