It doesn't bother me either, I actually meant it in the "before anyone thinks this is a new series" kind of sense.

Well, I didn't necessarily feel the need to specify it since googling "young animator training project" would have been enough. But yeah I guess I should have stated it instead of expecting people to do their own research outside of the thread, since not everyone has as much free time as I do.

Then you haven't obviously heard about Aku no hana.
"I'd really like to have as much money as you have, Oz" - robersora
"No you wouldn't. Oz's secret is he goes without food to buy that stuff. He hasn't eaten in years." - Brikhaus
"Often I get the feeling that deep down, your little girl is struggling with your embrace of filmfaggotry and your loldeep fixations, and the conflict that arises from such a contradiction is embodied pretty well in Kureha's character. But obviously it's not any sort of internal conflict that makes the analogy work. It's the pigtails." - Merridian
"Oh, Oz, I fear I'm losing my filmfag to the depths of Japanese pop. If only there were more films with Japanese girls in glow-in-the-dark costumes you'd be the David Bordwell of that genre." - Jimbo
"Oz, I think we need to stage an intervention and force you to watch some movies that aren't made in Japan." - Trajan

Aku no Hana has fast pacing and endearing characters, what.
You are terrible at the Internet. No offence.
Anyway, Little Witch Academia is wonderful. Its expressive animation, charming characters and engaging action sequences reminded me of Girls und Panzer, but even better (well, fun and flashy can't compete with tense, emotionally-charged and blisteringly-paced, but they both succeeded equally well in their aims) and the animation was much better. Well, as expected from an OVA. The plot was a bit thin and clichéd, but for an OVA it fit.
I think I still hold Inferno Cop as the stronger of Trigger's two anime projects thus far, although LWA does come slightly ahead in the animation department.

Then choose the subtitles that aren't like that instead. (There's no justification for those stupid ones in the original, after all.)
And if you don't like it, you're lacking a sense of fun, I think. Sure, it's lightweight, but even that can be fun.

I have no idea why a cast of dozens of look-alike characters in some sort of future on a gigantic ocean liner that has its own cliff-faces and lakes and streets has a bunch of idiot high schoolers driving old tanks around, but more to the point I have even less idea how this is supposed to be appealing or enjoyable in the slightest way.
cute. girls. driving. tanks.
lots of fun, plenty of action, love for the detail, high animation, great soundtrack, underdog story etc.
Also things like why they are living on gigantic carriers gets explained.
Also the show seems to have the most incompetent and/or moronic fansubbers I've ever seen, as half the damn dialogue is still in German for no reason whatsoever.
confirmed for untermensch

The first episodes aren't really a good gauge of what GuP has to offer. Around episode 4 is when it takes off and it's definitely not like K-On that much I can promise.
More on topic, I watched Little Witch Academia yesterday too. Great oldschool stuff that screams for a serialization. Sucy is the best.

EGF, I am disappoint. How come no one picked up the irony of my post? I even used the now-infamous picture that should have made it obvious what I was driving at.
