"It's very easy to run out of ammo on your 12.7mm machinegun. Been there. "
Exactly, and how effective do you think that 12.7mm machinegun was after it ran out of ammo? Back on to your original subject of the armor vs 12.7mm ammunition. Looks like that armor was pretty effective...

"Those ogres are living things, though. Unlike a vehicle, which would only stop if a critical part within was hit, an ogre would stop for all manner of reasons, as long it's not a relatively simple flesh wound (like a simple flesh wound for real, not Monty Python flesh wound). They...

"yes but they do produce a more anti-JSDF biased report back in japan IIRC due to the actually true anti-war stance of japan"
Yikes, and here I thought you were just talking about their behavior when they were embedded with the troops.

"these are the obvious messages of this work. To deny them is to deny the author's clear intentions in creating this story."
Wow, just wow. Can you thump that manifesto any harder? Sure, I see the socio-political slant of the story, but is that all you can see? Your argument reads...

"My question is whether they had trouble taking out those big troll thingies with the 20 mm metal plates. Realistically, a .50 caliber would be EXTREMELY effective at taking out them, considering how their plates will active the fuses inside the 12.7mm rounds, causing the...

"That's the part that ticks me off: Tyuwal was not furry in the slightest when she was in the capital and now it is before the transformation , and after it the wings and bird claws dissapeared, which leads me to the doppelganger theory."
Tyuwal is the 'harpy' (or sirene or other...

"5.56 is a peashooter because that's what it is. 7.62, however, will never let you down."
Depends on what it's being used against. Against those armored ogres, even 7.62 is a peashooter, especially with the down-powered JSDF ammunition.

"they're really succeeding in making me hate this social justice reporter"
Interesting, you see him as representing the "social justice" agenda. I see him as a bitter old man with a deep resentment of authority, but with a serious authoritarian streak himself. But I can't...
@schuyguy
Wow, you're reading a lot into this. Are you sure you're not just pounding the table with your own, I'm assuming, left-wing political agenda? Aside from Komurazaki, I found the depiction of the other reporters to be fine. Kuribayashi's sister adds an interesting counterpoint to...

"Less strawman war correspondents and munitions fetishism, more Itami and other soldiers getting caught up in fantasy world shenanigans please."
If we're going to ask for ponies, I'd like to request less edgelord commentary from the millenial readers.
@Wolvenworks It's really just Komurazaki. The other reporters may be depicted making culturally biased remarks, but they stay in line and try not to get in the JSDF's way.

That's not necessarily true. Bubonic plague is not easy to spread in modern times because of the general knowledge of sanitary practices, pathogens and widespread availability of antibiotics. Despite looking a lot more sanitary than what we know of medieval times, their general...
@JWChibi It's not about "looking insignificant" it's about avoiding family succession conflict. That shit can get nasty and deadly. Notice, it's only Palle who he decides should not know the secret of his abilities. The rest of his family (aside from Blanche in her oopsie moment) is also...
