God, this anime is giving me so many Warhammer vibes.
alll that grimderp.
Someone give me the noodles. I want this.
It's basically 40k the Animation.
Something we have been waiting for decades.
god this looks like shit, fucking emasculated 1st world betas watching animes with shitty plots and uninteresting female characters.
>>135988592
>uninteresting female characters.
God forbid
And the mecha look cool.
>>135988592
>1st world betas
cute.
Tsundere Commissar included.
As much as I enjoy this crap. People are way too pretty, the mechs are too flashy. I mean cmon how am I supposed to feel despair when everyone looks like idols riding shiny gundams.
>Teen pilots
>Mechs
>Saving an enemy pilot
this isnt Warhammer at all except the grim and derp

Pretend that they are parts of Cadia's youth corps piloting scout-sentinels in during Failbaddon's 9000th black crusade.
I tried to reverse search the images, but this shit never works and google is returning nothing. What anime is this?
>>135989585
Search harder
>>135989585
Schwarzesmarken
>>135989696
>Schwarzesmarken
>The story follows the East German Army's 666th TSF Squadron in its battles and political conflicts in 1983, during the BETA's westward push into Europe.
How is this WH40k in any way?
>>135989209
They're just teens because most adults already died against the BETA anyway.
>>135989766
Noone claimed that it is 40k, it just gives one the grimderp vibes of "Only War".
>>135989841
Sigh, sounds like I got hyped for nothing
>>135989209
>Teen Pilots
>Half the Squadron is over 20
>The rest were 18
>>135989368
Those mechs dont een have swords.
How are they supposed to have GLORIOUS MELEE IN THE NAME OF THE EMPRAH
>>135990028
One of them is equipped with an imported Chinese -made heavy cleaver because the Pilot is a PTSD-wreck who ticks out easily and goes berserk.
>>135989585
How new are you.
>>135989696
Stop enabling idiots, you idiot.
>>135990112
>ERA on the shields
keked
>>135989209
The pilots are mostly teens because they're straight out of training and most pilots don't survive till their 20-ties.
>>135989682
You fucker.
>>135990020
Warhammer is about strong adult men doing adult stuff instead of young adults struggling to be adults.
>it's your fault you didn't save the girl from the other crazy ptsd-stricken girl I brought onto the battlefield
This is stupid
>>135988353
Please fuck off
>>135989585
You're lying.
I didn't like this show. Dropped it when that one chick was freaking out and shooting up the aliens.
This was my face when I thought "They would have to have spent months training her how to use this mech, which probably costs the same as five to ten tanks alone. How did she pass the psyche evaluation that would probably be necessary in this setting to be trusted to use such an expensive and intricate piece of equipment?"
>>135995115
>How did she pass the psyche evaluation
Because there literally is none.
Their minds are kept from falling apart with drugs and hypnotherapy.
Apparently it wore off in her case.
>>135995115
I assume she wasn't PTSD'd back when she first qualified to drive this thing. And she said something about treatment, presumably the docs gave her a round of hypnotherapy and certified her fit to fly.
>>135995514
Considering how she was acting, she most likely was
>>135995321
That just raises even more questions.
"Sure, yeah, let's let these young adults who are only mentally stable thanks to drugs operate these large humanoid mechs that can fly and wield weapons that belong on IFV's or Tanks."
I understand that the world's going down the shitter, but my God, there are many people who would be a better choice.

That's the thing, no there aren't
>>135995661
>but my God, there are many people who would be a better choice
Who? Because with humanity being utterly buttfucked and with how pilots require specialized training while still young, there really aren't.
>"If you dont serve in battle, you will serve in the firing line."
>>135990028
That's because Europe and America at that time had no melee weapons or a doctrine using melee weapons against the ayyliums.
In the late 70s the GDR imported a small batch of Chinese made Type 77 battle swords, but that's it. In the large and open european theatre, melee weapons made less sense than in the jungle and mountain-battles that the Chinese at that time mostly fought.
Pic related: A MiG-21 armed with the rare (for europe) Type 77 standing guard in East-Berlin.

Still have enough people to man trenches and operate tanks, though.
Oder Neisse Defense Line is still strong.
Muv Luv anime should spend a minute or two more at the start explaining the setting for the unfamiliar
>>135997584
Basically, out of all the people they can call upon from that line alone, they still chose some of the least stable to operate the mechs
>>135997486
Not all people are suitable for piloting TSFs. The gate guards explicitly told Takeru they all failed their aptitude tests and were stuck doing shit jobs.
i can't get myself to like muv luv, the BETA designs are just so fucking bad god damnit, the mecha designs are also pretty shitty
>>135988592
>first world BETAs
Nah, they're from some other planet senpai
>>135997680
They did not chose them. The 666th is basically a veteran squadron who got their status as being the meanest motherfuckers at the front by surviving countless operations behind enemy lines. You do not simply replace a pilot because he has PTSD, since his experience and skills are much needed and no greenhorn can replace him for a critical op like a Laserjagd, which is the prequisite for artillery bombardment to successfully defend the lines.
That pilot gets some drugs and phych treatment, and is cleared to go. That's actually how they do in REAL war as well - not in those long-running meme-wars like Afghanistan or Iraq nowadays.
Patton back then punched a shell-shocked soldier for being a PTSD pussy and told him to get back into the fight when he has clearly lost no limb. This is basically the pychological setting of the whole MLA-verse.
>>135997884
And everyone and their mother was doped in meth in WW2.
>>135997884
Thanks /k/omrade, but /a/'s sense of history only goes back to Azumanga Daioh.
Mai waifu

What did they meme. I don't care enough to re-download to shitpost.
>>135999023
Sadly, there werent too many memes.
