Real tanks.
When I say real tanks, I mean they really went out of their way to add as much realism as possible. The descriptions and designs of these vehicles are true to history. While most are CG produced, it fits fairly seamlessly with the hand drawn animation of the characters, producing some wonderful combat scenes with the most impressive
sound effects I've heard in
quite some time from an Anime. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were watching a WW2 film with all the quality sound editing and mixing going on. Masterful work! Added into this mix is a wonderful soundtrack that sounds like something Elmer Bernstein would have written along with ballads from other nations. I particularly enjoyed "Battle Hymn of the Republic" for the American tanks and "Panzerlied" for the German ones.
I guess in all this fuss over the accuracy of the tanks and songs I forgot about the plot. It's not a new one, a new student with a past must lead a band of oddballs and misfits to glory in a tankery tournament to save the school. Along the way they grow as a team, as people, and learn the value of friendship. I don't
recall many of the characters names, despite decent attempts to give them depth.
Type S: Chiaki's Journey: The series is fashioned as a throwback to 1980s-90s racing anime, such as Initial D, with liberal uses of Japanese writing and phrases. Even if one knew it was an ad, they would probably figure it was another visually elaborate one
that comes out of Japan occasionally (Acura is a sub-brand of the Japanese auto company Honda, after all). However, it was produced by London-based studio The Line Animation. The North American commercial for Hudson Soft's Xexyz features a version of one of the ridable sea creatures (specifically the fish, though in green instead of the game's red) in animation that looks like it stepped out of a late 1980s mecha OVA title. Animation — Asia (non-Japanese) The infamous Beauty and Warrior, while very similar to the Japanese style, was
actually made in Indonesia. Aachi and Ssipak's animation looks like a twisted Nicktoon with anime influences, like characters nose bleeding and becoming momentarily "chibi-styled". The Bat Man Shanghai shorts starring Catwoman have an anime aesthetic mixed with a heavy dose of Wuxia influence. The shorts were commissioned from Chinese studio Wolf Smoke for the DC Nation block on Cartoon Network. Barangay 143 is a Filipino basketball cartoon emulating anime-style aesthetics. Cupid's Chocolates is, to the untrained eye, virtually indistinguishable from an anime series. The catch: It was produced entirely in China.
