Because of the strange setting, there are also a mix of lighthearted and humorous elements. Could this be the perfect mix between schoolgirl slice of life and intense tank warfare? I would certainly find out. With an abundance of war references and some surprisingly accurate designs, this anime was sure to intrigue war fanatics.

Still, I have studied a good deal about these tanks as I collect, build, and paint WWII tank models. This could have been almost anything “und Panzer” and I would have probably tried it out as I am something of a WWII tank enthusiast myself.Īlright, maybe enthusiast is giving myself too much credit here. When I first heard about Girls und Panzer, I latched onto the latter half of the title right away. This anime’s title itself, though, tells you this is no ordinary schoolgirl anime. Though there are plenty of good shows (K-On comes to mind), regular slice of life focused mostly on girls has never been my thing. Normally I wouldn’t be drawn to a series that focuses primarily on moe style schoolgirls.

The series follows the teen girls of Ooarai Girls High School as they learn about, operate, and battle WWII tanks against other tanking schools forming bonds with their machines and each other. Girls und Panzer is set in an alternate universe where “Panzerfahren” or “Sensha-do” (the art of fighting tanks) is a common sport, practiced entirely by girls and women.

If so (and even if not), get ready to roll out with today’s review. Somewhere there exists a world where femininity and grace go hand in hand with tank treads and exploding shells.
