And no, as depicted in the later part of the series and the climactic match in the anime, Red Devils is not that far from Kickers' reach that it's impossible or unthinkable for them to win. It was a close match, but Kickers still can't defeat Red Devils. But that's not a problem coz the series is focusing on the MC-team's growth and development. And St. Glorianna is closer to Red Devils than you think.

Well, I'm just reading off the Wiki text.

I do understand that it is possible to "focus on the Mc-team's growth", but IMO it is still harder to culminate right with a "losing ending" because when you lose, you have to work harder to define exactly what they did manage to accomplish. While with a win, what they accomplished is self-apparent. Quote:

It insanity over the topness? Probably not.
In realistic tank battling? I hope so. I'd like a nice looking fight that is not so seemingly one sided in either numbers or quality of tanks. Sure we need Miho to come up with a plan, or the other teams to have a shining moment, but it also be nice to see someone using Miho's tactics against her, and force her to either counter in kind, or do something different (even lose because someone used her style against her). It is interesting how the perceptions of certain characters has changed over time. Anchovy was introduced in the manga as quite angry and mean, but now she's quite the favorite. Maho is nowhere near as brutal as she looks, but also shows a protective side for family. I think Darjeeling was always a favorite. But even the perception of the student council is vastly different now than near the start of the show. They also went from the flag tank that couldn't hit anything to the massive troll team, with them being involved with taking out both the Maus and the Karl in weird and dangerous ways.

I'll also prefer a TV-series, which allows more time for some character development. Further, a TV-series will have less $/minute budgeted. Experience has shown that when that staff has less $/minute, they'll focus on tactics rather than tankobatics, which makes it a much more enjoyable and balanced experience. |

Quite so Mind you, when I say TV series (I can't say I speak for anyone else for sure), I'd like a two-cour season. Twelve episodes is fine and all for testing the waters, but the community clearly shows there's a strong market for this show. If that happens, I'll be very happy. Plus, a TV series would let us stream episodes: no more of this "waiting for an indeterminate period of time to watch it" business.

And glorious PV is out!!!!
Wonder what that Goliath swarm was all about Everyone's looking well and good though, can't wait Also, I don't think it's a coincidence that this trailer was released on the 100th anniversary of the tank's first deployment unto the battlefield.

that is not some newly made panzer uniform, that is call high school winter uniform, the whole GuP time frame is only from April to August (TV) and September (movie), when they wears their summer uniform plus their panzer uniform, this final chapter would be the immediate school winter quarter timeframe after the tournament with the university team, for comparison, check Hibiki no Euphonium and their two sets of uniform.
further, the supposed big happening, the things that "shocks" Oarai, the extra news sheet people handing out? it is to be a ONE DAY trip, to be done by armor train, (notice the "infinite track works" poster behind the new student president Hana?) so whatever the event is, it would take one day, and I highly doubt you can stretch a one day event into a TV season.

The wait for the last movie was excruciating, so if it came down to it, I'll take an OVA running an hour over a movie, hence the ordering
