I too remember how I initially steered away from watching Girls und Panzer, as it sounded really silly. So I'm glad that Crunchyroll had it available for me to sample later. I think the show is one of the reasons I started making an effort to sample every series that Crunchyroll broadcasts each season. (Although, checking out just the first episode of GuP maybe wouldn't have been enough on its own to get me to watch the series.)

(Regarding how late this comment is... I don't usually check my Dreamwidth Reading Circle... so Dreamwidth-only blogs tend to escape my regular perusal... gomen.)
