Am I being overdramatic?

They saved a real historical BT-42 so they're ultimately good.

Gup is honestly my favourite anime of all, somehow it takes the normal anime shit and adds tanks to it

The fact The Chieftain himself helped collab on GuP says a lot. He said he was even impressed how authentic the tanks looked, especially the interior of the M3 since a lot of media get the transmission placement wrong.

*As a GuP Tank Enjoyer, I approve of this*

There's nothing wrong with being a gup fan. In my opinion, every tank nerd should watch atleast 1 episode from the show (where there are actual tanks, of course) so they know how gup looks like. I also know that not everyone should be a gup fun, just accept the fact that some people like different things. I actually learned new stuff from gup, even as a veteran tank nerd. I also enjoyed the amount of historical references in the show, from the most obvious ones, till the most hidden. And the soundtrack is just a masterpiece, each march is rebranded.

GuP is just overall a fun ride. Not to mention there's some interesting bits around it (helped save the real Oorai, helped save the last BT-42, etc. There's also a translated video on KZfaq of the military advisors of the show doing commentary, highly recommend). Not ashamed to say Anzio was what turned me into a pastaboo. I had never really looked into the Italian side of the war. Of which, shame on me, there was some amazing stuff. From cavalry and bayonet charges to furious defenses, biplane pilots doing far better than they had any right to scuba saboteurs, and the wealth of myths or misconceptions that PLAGUE any conversation on that matter (not helped by italian sources only more recently being translated/looked into and contesting old info). Be proud, Eta--- -*GuP dub* You're dead to me.

Remember: if you harass someone long enough you’ll eventually get your way

Girls und Panzer is the sole reason I'm even interested in tanks to begin with. I've been a military vehicle fan since I was a kid but was only ever concerned with WW2 Prop planes. As far as I was concerned tanks were slow, boring, and all looked the same. Then on a whim I decided to give GuP a try. Fast forward a few years and now I'm here. It was such a fun, action packed, and genuinely educational start into the tank rabbit hole. I gave me an appreciation and new found interest in tanks I never had before. Without GuP I doubt I would have ever gotten interested in tanks and found awesome channels like your own.

GuP is honestly the main reason for how my life is turning out. it basically kicked me into a full blown tank enthusiast, and because of that, i've become a completely different person than who i was before i knew what GuP was. i decided to take an auto shop course in my school because i saw the automotive club doing their thing and thought 'hey, that's fuckin sick!', and then i learned how to rebuild an engine like the back of my hand. i decided that i wanted tanks to literally be my life, so i decided to enroll in my country's military to become a tanker, and my application is actively under review. but before that, i needed my grades higher so i could get more options in the field, so i studied harder and bumped up my averages by about 10-15%. i wanted models of the tanks in the show, so i became a scale armour modeller with an extensive collection in 1/35 scale. honestly, i think GuP has had a bigger impact on my life than my birth.

It’s nice to see you talking about GuP, it also had a pretty big impact on me, and while it’s not impressive story wise, with each rewatch I notice something new that I didn’t notice before.

Yukari is my spirit animal 🙏🏻🙏🏻

That montage of all the gup references made me feel like Hank putting together that Heisenberg is Walter

Girls und Panzer was the first Anime I was ever exposed to years back. If I recall, it was 7th grade. I was in a study hall on my chrome book. In my KZfaq recommendations, there was a video titled something along the lines of "how to destroy a Maus". It was the scene from episode 11 or 12 of the anime where they take the Maus head-on. Being a tank enthusiast ever since I was four years old, I gladly enjoyed watching the clip. It took me awhile to find a way to watch the show, but I eventually managed to watch it. It was goofy, but it was faithful and fun. As of now, I don't think there's a single show or movie I love more than Girls und Panzer.

HE HAD US FROM THE DAMM START In all seriousness before gup i was meh on anime i had seen some such as SAO being my introduction to the enitre thing but when i watched gup ot just made my love for tanks and other such millitry history thwt is related stronger and it suprises me how much that damm show affected me as it caused me to look deeper into things on my own accord noticing refrences and neat tidbits i did not see on my previous watches of it Overall gup solid show for us weirdo's that lile both gup and tanks

Watching the reference compilation was like when someone at the end of the movie reveals that they have been in the background for the entire movie

Bro I'm making zimmerit on my 1/72 scale Tiger tank. I was looking for something good to watch in the background and I see that. TBH I understand your obsession about GuP. I'm obsessed about it too. Maybe just a bit too much.

I KNEW IT! Okay, I'm taking this as an excuse to finally go watch the entire thing. I've only ever seen the videos about GuP from Potential History, and I thought it and his videos were really fun. To this day, I've never actually sat down to watch the entire show and movie. As someone who's been a tank lover since early childhood, and an anime fan more and more as time goes on, I genuinely love what the show does. As you say, it's not just a show about tanks, it's a show about tank enthusiasts, tank history, and being in love with tanks. I'm not alone when I say Yukari is my spirit animal. Also, once again, War Thunder is a gift and a curse in so many ways. I play it every day, and I hate it so much of the time that I often wonder why I'm still there. Then I start looking through my vehicle collection, thinking about what more could be added, go back to decorating my favorite tanks, and see things like your GuP skins and voices, and I remember why I often love the game more. Don't hold back, embrace what you love, to its absolute fullest.

I’m so glad to know you’re a long time girls und Panzer Fan! (He’s literally me!) Have a happy new year eta!

Just for the printout of Bonple emblem alone I'll subscribe, I think GuP: Ribbon warrior series is a gem and should been made into actual anime if possible god I wish for further more content about other minor schools

Wait it’s all GUP? 🔫Always has been

You just got s new subscriber. Yes im a ARL-44, yes GuP literally started my interest in tank history and boosted way to much of it and it even does now on. Yes i understand every reason and all the stuffs you said, probably a lot of us thought the same when the GuP idea or introduction came to us, like "how im i gonna even stand a scholarship show with young girls riding tanks?". Then we all changed our minds and probably life is more easier when we care less of overthinking and just give it a try when we actually discover its a damn entertaining show, its stupid and nonsence but a really fun one. Truly a love letter to tank buffs. ill stick around this channel cause it makes a great job in what i like a lot (the Panzer 4 guide is where i found this channel so i got a lot more to see).

First video I saw from you with the face cam, I saw the Bonple emblem and I knew instantly lol

When a butterfly flaps its wings.

You fell into that one saying you'd never buy the merchandise, Also I love tanks, I've drawn them (even made my own) I even got up to a real tank, so don't let what others say that you can't like this or that. I remember watching girls und panzer back in. I think 2019 or somewhere in that time, this video was amazing, and your content is also amazing, I learn things from you and others that I can never get from a book. Keep up the good work

My brother in christ. You're not Alone.

Let me guess the panzerfaust is a refarance too rigth?

I knew I heard GUP music before on this channel! I love the sound track and I have an entire spotify playlist dedicated to it.

This man played "nah, never heard of it" excuse while having a hug Bonple High School Emblem stuck on his wall right behind him.

Hopefully this wouldn’t completely ruin this anime for me

Yukari is my spirit animal.

Oh boy, this is the last drop I needed to enforce my will to start watching this anime XD. Sadly, the Snail got my soul, there is nothing to do now. Love ya Eta320.

GUP has to be my favourite anime of all time even amoug the hundreds i have watched, it was also the show that made me truely love tanks. I really have to rewatch it all again for my 12th plus time.

12:50 F Yeah Tankathlon !!!! only those who read the manga know how awesome it is

Holy shit THE GUP it's been here all along! For me GUP is very special because it was my way into both anime and tank enthusiasm. I really love tanks and love like 30% of the animes I've watched, Code geass being my all time favorite. Wonderful video as always Eta

”I play war thunder therefor I think tanks are cool” Couldn’t relate more

Gup was my first and favorite anime. Now after GuP ribbon warrior it my favorite manga too.

GuP got me into tanks.

GuP saved my life. Yukiyukite Senshadou killed me. (dont google that one)

Man of class right here. Plain and simple GuP was my first anime and helped me REALLY like tanks. I’ll always treasure it

Last time someone talked about this was potential history years ago, nice watching someone else review it again.

GuP is the sole reason I became a military fan, especially a tank fan.

I like anime, I love tanks, this combo is literally awesome. Like you know the show is gonna be fire when Nicholas "The Chieftan" Moran worked as an advisor for the movie! Like holy shit!

i think the Bonple High School emblem thing in the background is really obvious as a gup fan. i really cannot believe people wouldn't notice that

I've been a GuP fan I think for 4 years? (Not hardcore, just fan) and honestly it's what propelled me into loving tanks in the first place. I've never seen an episode of the show before but thanks to watching Potential History's video on like almost the whole trilogy, I came to love it. Also the OST is a bop, the military marches are one thing, but the soothing calm music there is also nice. Anyway that's all, ye.

The fact that this anime also the start of some people liking smaller nation tank (example Finnish tank BT-42, they tried to scrapped her because no funding for museum but GuP fan start fund rise for the tank, some italian tank, and in manga theres actually another nation like hungary, canada, and australia with they're koala commander lol)

Max0r’s ace combat video got me into planes and WT did more so, WT got me into tanks. And Azur Lane got me into boats, anime gets people into military vehicles they thought they didn’t have interest in

congratulations on your coming out

That was a pretty fun outing self as a GuP enjoyer video. Keep on keeping on.

You’re gonna make a video about the progress on the panzer 3 model kit?

Eta, i don’t know if you will ever read this, but there is a GUP game called: Dream Tank Match for the PS4 and Switch. the game is in FULL japanese with english subtitles, but was only released on europe and Japan so you might struggle to get it, although, as somebody who own’s in the switch, i can say it’s totally worth it!

GuP is awsome! Never be ashamed of enjoying the things you enjoy. Keep the mods, build the models, buy the merch. Be you man.

"that head over heels feeling of being in love with tanks". I get you 100% man. We, should collaborate on a video sometime.

Not me who saw the polish gup school emblem in the background since the day i started watching :))

Ngl new to channel saw the pz iv video loved it and this is just as gold XD

Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there 😎👍

Omg I've been waiting for this

GuP also got me into my love and obsession with tanks ❤

man finally a worthy opponent our fight will be legendary (GuP knowledge fight) in all seriusness i have been waiting for this video for so long and i noticed most of those GuP references in those videos i have seen from you

I never watched the anime but i recently watched potential history's videos on it again as they got recommended to me about a week ago by youtube. Its good seeing often not talked about tanks

I got to say although GUP is a pretty entertaining anime, having the sound mods on all the time would just be a bit excessive and would get annoying fast. I think it’s because of how high pitched the voices are.

GuP was the first anime I ever watched. I had a friend back in high school who was very into anime, I on the contrary was not (not necessarily hated anime, just wasn't interested). However, I was very into tanks and he wanted to introduce me to anime as he thought it might be something I would like. So one day after school when I was at his place playing Xbox he was like, hey I found a funny show about tanks and girls, want to watch it? 6 Years later and I still re-watch it on occasion. GuP opened me up to more anime's as well and man there are some absolute bangers out there that I would probably have never seen. For that reason alone I can say I am a very big fan of GuP.

I've watched a few of your videos til now, and I feel like you're literally the same person as me lol. I denied to my friends watching GuP for so many years til it slipped when I showed my desktop wallpaper lol. Anyway, what a great content. As always, keep the great content coming. You're talented at delivering compressed info while keeping it interesting. Also, happy new year to you too!

20:10 where did you buy decals from models

The first thing i identified when i first watched your channel is the polish gup team logo at your back. I tought you watch it. And you did.

loved the video Sherman Jesus, have a great rest of your year

I was sorta half paying attention to the video, but you had my attention through the Warthunder part Lmao. I respect your ability to realize how imperfect of a game it is as a tank enthusiast and enjoyer.

I think that's awesome that you love this show, voice mods need to stay btw they are awesome too (I have them too and skins too XD) This katyusha and Nonna thing at the end was so cute, I need to get one to my keys XD

Never watched any one your vids til now, but i could already tell you were a fan because of the shield of the polish based school that only showed in a short scene of Das Finale 2

April of 2024, close though! Odd that i'd find your page from this, but not surprising with all the GuP and tank content I watch. 😂 Subbed for more fun tank stuff!

Man seeing the voice mods and skins reminds me of my time in World of Tanks. I am a big fan of GuP and was a WOT player and discovered the wonderful world of modding and I used those things a lot when I was still playing LOL.

The fun thing about this anime though it's stupidly ridiculous is you don't see a movie or a series that has 50 or more different tanks. That's why this is one of my fav anime

I came across this as my first video. I do love tanks and I do love gup. but man the video has been so hilarious I'm gonna insta sub and binge ur content rn

man honestly its the only and precious anime no one asked, But for a Tank enjoyer that watch anime as myself its just awesome, the WW2 References, Tanks driving like formula 1 cars and their crazy solutions in battle, the characters representing their countries is just so fun to me, its just if you mix 2 things you like but are completely unrelated and it still works well, its the anime that made me even more interested about tanks. But i mainly got interested in tanks because of World of tanks, now i am a Normal War thunder player and ww2 enjoyer.

that friend of yours that recommended Code Geass is a goat

Didn't expect this from you. Glad to see it nonetheless!

First stumbled into GuP in 2020 when a friend of mine was watching it. I was bored af during Covid so I decided to just go for it and watch a bit with him. I ended up getting totally addicted and binge watching the rest of it along with der Film and das Finale. It was my first anime and I'm still a big fan to this day :) Also keep the voice mods they're based lol

I like the coby tanks at the backround

No one should judge you just because of an interest that not all people like. Keep going with what you like man, content is great

Lol. Before I even finished your first video, I subscribed cause' of the Bonple High crest hanging in the back, and I haven't regretted it. Your content is always awesome and interesting! Though, when you were building up Warthunder, I was hoping you were going to announce a one night privately hosted Sensha-do or Tankathalon event. Anyways, keep up the amazing work!

eta a real king, everyone tank enthusiast should at least give GuP a try

when you started talking about how GuP gave you a whole new Appreciation for Tanks i couldnt agree more! It only makes me wish so badly that there was an equivalent for Military Aviation! Guess Area 88 will have to do :/

I'm a bit late to this video but this is the biggest W i have ever seen. he's A TANK WEEB LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's the very first video i see on your channel, and at the beginning i was like "Eh, that bottom half red thing on the background looks like the Polish team's logo". And well, we know the rest :)

Hello eta the place ōarai ibaraki (大洗 いばらき)where it takes place really exist the shops there also have cardboard signs of the characters people there love the show too made mock up tanks i saw the anime in 2014 or 15 and visited ōarai later Much love keep on😊

i've seen that bonple decal for so long, so i kinda almost expected this lel

So I really like airplanes, and GuP was the thing that made me like tanks. Its why I got tank stuff in my feed, leading me to you. So thanks GuP for such an amazing channel and for leading me to it!

Here is a list of other anime that I think history fans like myself would probably enjoy. AOT - Attack on Titan very very popular anime, largely because its just that good. While on the outside it just looks like giant zombies but its so much more than that. It has a lot of surprisingly good history aspects especially in the later seasons where becomes a lot more about political tensions and general warfare. There's a lot of surprisingly realistic equipment and good world building. I cant say too much as its extremely easy to spoil. point being I would recommend anyone watch it and its now done and concluded which a (in my opinion) good ending. Girls last Tour 2 girls chilling in a post apocalyptic wasteland on a kettenkrad. Its a very chill show and the first half definitely had me gawking over some of the abandoned equipment. Its not a must watch but I think anyone would enjoy it. Tanya - Saga of Tanya the Evil Have you played HOI4? have you ever played Kaiserriech for HOI4? now imagine that with a grounded magic system and a psychopathic loli protagonist and you got Tanya. If you like Hearts of Iron you will probably like this anime. there is more but these are the ones that come to my head atm.

Okay first of all love the vid second of all WHERE CAN I FIND THOSE WALPAPERS!?

The skins stay on during Sensha-do.

...I knew it... now I can rest in peace

I relate to bro (i also rewatched gup wayyyyyy too many times)

best sports anime out there. plus Kato made a few trains branded for it.

Got a little confused on the last part of the vid haha, but if you still want to play war thunder ill be up to, imma be a subscriber so yeah ^^ nice vid

HE FINALLY FOUND THE TANK ANIME, REJOICE!

for the first time in forever, i looked away from eta’s beautiful face and noticed the bonple emblem for the first time i swear that was never there

Cole sounds like a cool guy

finally coming out video, there was too many gup references all over your videos

Love GuP the tanks are all supercharged on ice but the tanks themselves are fairly accurate and it's just a decent story I highly suggest reading Girls und Panzer: Ribbon no Musha it's got great art

I always assumed you were a public GUP fan, since you have the Bonple emblem behind you, so I found it really funny that you mentioned telling people you'd never heard of it. Then again, it's a minor school only in Das Finale 2 and Ribbon Warrior, so I'm not too surprised no one noticed. I watched GUP around the same time as you, but kinda the other way around. I liked military stuff to an extent, I'd been to 1940s events around my area, but I watched it more as an anime fan than as a tank fan. I used it to bridge the gap between interests, and because I thought it would be funny, but I really ended up getting into military history because of it. If it wasn't for GUP, I probably wouldn't have all my families stuff from WW2, I probably would've saved a bunch of money which I spent on uniforms, and I generally wouldn't be the person I am today.
