So I went and looked up Girls und Panzer on Wikipedia, to see if there was an official US distro deal or anything (I've been out of that scene for a long time, I don't even know who the players are any more), and the first paragraph on the page mentions that the military tech advisor for the show worked on a couple of other anime projects. One of them was Strike Witches, of which we have heard on these boards before...

... and the other one is called Upotte!!. I can summarize this no better than the wikipedians already did:

"The series takes place at a school known as Seishou Academy. Unlike an average school, all the students are actually anthropomorphized guns, training to one day become a useful weapon."

That... what? Really, what? I think I have to track this down.
