What kinda tanks are these?

Panzer 3 or panzer 4 with the short barrel 75mm gun.

Panzer III Ausf. H
You can tell it's a Panzer III because they have 6 bogey wheels and Ausf. H because of the shorty 50mm cannon.
At the end, the tank it slams into is a PzKpfw IV Ausf. D.

Looking closer now its deffnitly the Panzer 4 A with the short barrel 75.

this reminds me, Eylstadt is located in what we call Tyrol, since Germany has an emperor & Austria is part of Germany I take it Prussia came to dominate Holy Roman Empire at some point, meaning Habsburgs lost the throne, how is this related to Tyrol you might ask?

Simpel: Tyrol was ruled by Habsburgs before they came to dominate the Holy Roman Empire, meaning it would have probably been the first place for Habsburgs to go after losing the imperial throne to Prussia (my bet is on Prussia conquering Austria during the War of the Austrian Succession), meaning that in all likelihood princess Finé's real family name isn't "von Eylstadt" but Habsburg.

Prussia controls what used to be Holy Roman Empire, including the empire's heartland Austria, Habsburgs' lands, excluding their ancient home in Switzerland, are a nation in their own right & independent of that empire.

The way I see it, it went like this: Maria Theresa ascended to the throne, Prussia decided this was their chance to annex Austrian lands, the War of the Austrian Succession began, Maria Theresa was unable to bring Hungary into the war (this act, successfully bringing Hungary into the war, is what brought victory to Austria in our timeline) and lost, Habsburgs were forced to flee to the Duchy of Tyrol (called Eylstadt because of anime reasons), their last holdings they could hope to reach safely & founded a new sovereign nation there, assuming the title of Archduke (and in German-speaking world of the time there could be only one person called Archduke, and that was the Holy Roman Emperor slash Archduke of Austria) as the proper title of their ruler.

>Magical lesbian mary sue with no flaws easily destroys columns of armor with not a scratch on her: The anime
Japanese storytelling is by and large, fucked. It doesn't matter how stupid the premise is, if it's got a cute girl in it retards will lap it up and come back for more.

Now Anno, that guy is a diamond in the rough. I watch Shin Godzilla the other day and coincidentally it is also about large amounts of military hardware getting fucked up. But the difference is it has context. Izetta has no such context. One is a freak of nature produced by radiation (and progressively gets stronger throughout the film), the other is just a 'witch' that can fuck up the Germans no problem right from the start. There's no buildup, no development and no explanation of her abilities. You're just supposed to think "Uwah, sugoi Izetta-chan" and buy the BDs.

Japan needs an anime crash.

But the show explains that she's descended from a line of witches that are related to the folktales of Eylstadt, and how she's the last of her bloodline. It shows that she isn't all powerful, due to the fact she nearly ran out of magic in the 2nd episode after the dogfight with the germanian forces. Finally, you are comparing a movie to a TV show, one of these has at most two hours to tell the story, the other has 13 episodes. Of course they aren't gonna lay down every single fact about her in the first 3 episodes, that would be terrible storytelling.

Obviously because they want to whitewash Izetta actions. She's not killing people, she's just destroying the evil grey machines!

Seriously though that's the reason. There's no way they could pull off the cutesy character if she skewered and decapitated a bunch of soldiers in clear view. They'll never clearly show her killing someone.

and/or animate it cause budget

with US cartoons you HAVE to show someone survive an otherwise fatal fall or some form of blunt force. Avatar and LoK are good examples of this. With a few exceptions nearly anyone who receives a fatal blow is shown writhing in pain or groaning instead of remaining still of lifeless. Or anyone falling from large heights is shown deploying a parachute, instead of the parachute simply being implied. You are REQUIRED to show it.

for shame, /k/.

Those are early Panzer III with a 37mm KwK 36 gun and twin coaxial MG 34s.
That marks it as Ausf. A to F (most likely F, first mass-production model). NOT as an Ausf. H or later. Those would have 50 or 75mm guns and a single coaxial.
The tanks with the stubby short but big gun (75mm KwK 37, nicknamed Stummel) are indeed Panzer IV, most likely Ausf D, also the first mass-produced.

[spoiler]Notice that technically they could be earlier variants because they were sent against a very low-priority, low-threath (or so they thought) target. So maybe they are Pz III E (first with 6 large roadwheels) and Pz IV A. But that's just being Devil's advocate against my own post.[/spoiler]

yes.
It's well written, has good haracter design, very accurate /k/ depiction, and shows no yuri (so if you hate yuri you'll like it) but the actual soldiers are a bunch of yurifags themselves (so if you love yuri you'll ALSO like it).

>>31693901
>37mm round stopped by sloped array of swords interlocked and reinforced by a forcefield
seems OK. We've seen much worse. It's consistent with the series internal logic. Also the gunner is surprised right afterwards because without the forcefield it would have penetrated the swords, so it's consistent with actual physics.
