Your local "nazi" larper's favorite anime. This average score of 7.53 really highlights the overall stupidity of the anime community. To think that the screen writer also made Liz and the Blue bird wow
The fapbait mixed in with the WW2 wannabe "historian" slash tank nerd slop makes this anime unwatchable without having to take breaks every four to five minutes. The way the history larp slop gets introduced is insufferable: two characters Yukari (fanservice for wannabe tank nerds that are really just war thunder players good at reading stat cards) thats are just here to quote unquote nerd out on history but shes really just giving fun facts that you could get out of a ww2 history youtube short , and the Rommel fangirl that keeps rambling about the great achievements of the whermacht ,all t…

Having a lot titles in completed means you went from very varied expierences, you can see that some things could be made better.
Your horizont for reviewing is just widen.
With this attitude I've decided to review "Girls und Panzer", my first anime ever.
And I started rewatching at... ending of July 2021 until almost end of February 2022...
Firstly I have to make some introduction - "Girls und Panzer" ("GuP") is so called "Original Anime TV series" what means that it was not based on any manga, it's cornerstone was created by anime studio. These days we don't see often such animes. (Well, in most cases it's easier to put money in animating top selling manga.) Also we have to add that "GuP" was created by studio that is known only for our object of interest.
When we put all these togeth…

Girls & Panzer is an original anime by studio actac, a studio of which I’m not familiar with. It was created in 2012 & has since spawned several new entries & even a movie franchise. I don’t know what else to say in this introduction, so let's get started. Might contain spoilers, read at your own risk
Story:
The story of Girls & Panzer goes as such. Two opposing academies filled with moe girls fight each other in Tanks. A competition is going on throughout the anime & that’s pretty much it.
The plot is honestly a really stupid concept, but I genuinely think it could work, moe girls or otherwise. Get some serious moments in there, explain the different sides of each academy, & give the girls some personality. The problem here is that pretty much nothing happens. Don’t get me wrong, thing…

I avoided the anime for some time because title sounded like the anime would be cheap and awful.
Well it is a cheap anime but not as awful as I though, but it's bearly decent.
There is good graphics and a bit of humour, that's it.
If you're looking to watch a brainless show like you'd watch an action movie, this is pretty nice.
But it's a very long action movie, a repetitive one.
There is almost no story.
character have as small backstory about carrying family tradition but god it's unrealistic and poor,
you learn a bit about tank names, although tank battle and strategies are completely ridiculous. The only original thing was the humour between girly girl driving tank, but hey everything said on episode one.
I think it would do a decent 1h30 movie. But 13 episode of that, i should have…

As you may notice I tend to stop watching anime all the time. Sudden bursts of activity are followed by stagnant periods of inactivity. This is pretty much due to the fact the majority of anime I watch is so average or subpar, I get sick and tired of it. Despite all these anime having different plots and characters, they still manage to have the same plot and the same characters. And after seeing enough anime that contains two dimensional everything, I kind of move on to watching movies and finding more engaging media until a niggling voice in my head tells me to come back and embrace the garbage once again.
Girls Und Panzer reminds me why I intermittently stop watching anime. It’s the kind of arbitrary fap bait that has permeated nearly every season of anime for the past…well, as long as…

~Multilingual review, English & Español: Girls und Panzer~
Nowadays "Cute girls doing cute things" have become an unwritten genre, or better, a keyword that open a window through which we can imagine completely how it's going to be an anime, even if our knowledge about it are pair to zero, we could almost go far and state a "first impression" derived only by hearing those words. We tend to imagine a group of cute girls doing absolutely nothing, actually only cute things, or engaged in some particular activity, sometimes that unusual that we could consider them totally out of ordinary or from what we could call "acceptable".
Usually "cute girls doing cute things" type of anime aren't serious ones, mostly comedy or Slice of Life, but there are sometimes that some of them breaks this, almos…

Moe is a unique genre that only exist in Japanese entertainment. It has such a different nature, which makes the shows really difficult to evaluate: If we compare the plot with shows such as Death note... 0/10, If we compare action with shows such as Attack on Titans... 0/10.
But is it fair to ever look at shows like Girls Und Panzer on a critical stand point? I think not. It is not what the creators are trying to achieve, it is not what audiences are looking for either, at least they aren't supposed to.
I guiltily admit Girls and Panzer is actually the one and ONLY Moe show I have EVER watched in my life time. My judgement on it is purely based the little information and knowledge I obtained from some research I did through Google. Any constructive criticism is welcomed and will be gr…

Anime allows for many different combinations since what we view on-screen doesn't necessarily have to be ground to reality. In that regard, when you mix together cute girls riding in tanks, you get the anime known as Girls und Panzer.
STORY
Girls und Panzer stars Miporin, a young girl who just transferred to a new high school and, upon enrolling, she is enlisted into the "Tankery" elective due to her supposed background in the field.
What I found the show did nicely was its world-building. They actually introduced some interesting concepts regarding the use of the tanks and the lore behind them. Much of the information regarding the tanks seemed to be at least legitimate or researched, and because of this, it allowed you to take its focus o…

This was better than I expected. The premise on this series is battles between groups of tanks as an after school club. In this crazy world, this is treated just as another sport which contributes somewhat to feminity. (I wonder what the hell would boys do, given the proper atention by the series: ¿kill each other?, ¿learn to cook?).
Art gets pretty interesting when tanks are battling.
All related to tanks is ok and even seems well documented, but the slice of life with stribes on the girls seems to pale a bit in comparison. Take for instance a moment at episode two or three when the girls hang out together: one girls wears contact lens, another has some utillage in her backpack, and when you think a dialogue will burst out... the scene ends. At least there's almost no slice of life, as…

Senshado. Tankery. The Way of the Tank.
“A strong, but delicate art that aims to make women more polite, graceful, modest, and gallant, both on and off the battlefield. To learn tankery is to armor the heart of a maiden, the soul that embraces and burns with femininity. Intense and strong like a tank's iron. Cute and lively, like the clattering of its track. And finally, passionate and precise, like its main weapon. If you train in tankery, you will become a better wife, a better mother, a better student, and a better worker. You will become healthier, kinder, stronger, and men from all over the world will fall to your feet-”
Well, if that's not the most hilariously nonchalant, yet enticingly charismatic recruitment narrative I've heard for anything, ever, much less tanks. Sign me up- Wa…

Girls und Panzer is a running joke that never delivers its punch line, and that is why the show is a masterpiece. One its surface, Girls und Panzer appears to be another ‘cute girls doing cute things’ anime with the cute thing this time being riding and fighting tanks. That’s the joke. The underlying premise is so ridiculous and absurd that you can’t not find it funny. However, this anime will play it straight faced for all 12 episodes, but it’s still a joke. This anime enrapture you with breathtaking tank battles, clever comedy and surprising drama, but it’s still a joke. The fact that Girls und Panzer transcends the joke that is at the core the anime into an amazing show makes this a must watch for those who love anime and especially those who love good storytelling.

“Girls und Panzer”, Girls and Tanks (Panzer - taken from the German language), can be considered as one of the few anime which truly sticks to the title. At first glance, it can be said that this show is all about ‘cute girls competing each other with tanks’. To some it may sound amusing, while for others it might seem as another tedious work.
The anime is set in the future (some few decades from now) where tanks are obsolete and are at girls’ disposal for honing their skills in Sensha-do (Way of the Tank). We have our protagonist Miho Nishizumi, driven from her past traumatic incident, transferring to Oarai High School. Coming from a family renowned for its Sensha-do, Miho is immediately beguiled by the student council into joining Sensha-do. With an example of Bushido (Way of the Samur…

Girls und Panzer is an anime from Actas Studio. What's that? You've never heard of Actas? Well, that's not surprising. They mostly do in-between animation and other secondary animation work for larger studios. The only anime I've seen, besides this one, where they were the main force is Tales of Phantasia. One other odd thing to note about this anime is that the series came out at pretty much the same time as the manga rather than one being based on the other. Well, let's take a look at Girls und Panzer and see how that worked out for them.
Our story opens at Oarai girls' school, where they're reviving the ancient sport of tank fighting. Where was that when I was in school? Young Nishizumi Miho is told in no uncertain terms to take it as an elective, the student council isn't that clear o…

Girls Und Panzer Review
There are no spoilers in this review
Girls und panzer is one of those anime's like Initial D or Broken Blade which are highly appealing to my interests. When I first herd about it I heard it compared to K-On! What I am glad about that it ended up not being like K-on! at all. It was it's own show in its own right and I liked it allot.
Story
When it comes down to story you are probably going to find Girls und Panzer a bit predictive. But frankly what made this show great in my eyes wasn't the story. It was the action and it was the preparation for the action which peaked my interests the most.
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the story allot as well, but it was predictive.
The strong points about the story where the details and not the big picture. The small detail…

There’s a reasonably well-justified tendency among anime fans to hastily dismiss the potential merit of any permutation of the whole “cute girls doing cute things” motif that’s so nauseatingly ubiquitous in modern anime. In recent times, we’ve had a spate of these lusterless shows - whether it be “cute girls climbing mountains!” or “cute girls that are actually anthropomorphic guns or something!” - and the results are nigh-invariably uninspired dreck that’s not worthy of anyone’s time. With this in mind, it’s only natural to approach the simple premise of “cute girls driving tanks” with caution. It is against all odds, then, that Girls und Panzer manages to not only be worthwhile, but also one of the most consistently entertaining shows in recent memory.
Girls und Panzer’s story is a simp…

Guter Tag allen von Ihnen, sorry about that I still have that German thingy after watching the last 2 overdue episode of this 12 episode anime, and btw I hate the way studio Actas have to delay it for 2 months. Ok so now this anime has come to an end, how do I rate this anime?
Here's how:
Story: Schön 6.
The story plot was very simple yet entertaining, there isn't any profanity nor does it have any violence, the whole plot revolves around the girls of Ōarai Girls Academy who are member of the newly revived sport called "Sensha-dō, " as well as the life of one particular group of friends who was headed by Miho Nishizumi as they go through a lot of struggles in winning the Sensha do national tournament. Yet, the story is also about some trivia about the tanks that were involved in this an…

Something that I have discovered whilst watching Girls Und Panzer is that trying to convince people that it is genuinely a fantastic show is nigh on impossible. I don't blame them, if someone had told me before I watched it that I'd be rating it an 8 and calling it a highlight of the year then I would have greeted them with a doubting look, wondering whether they were joking or whether they just had bad taste.
It's obvious why there's so much doubt, it's the premise. Cute girls driving tanks immediately brings up memories of shows of "cute girls doing cute things" or of "Cute girls doing [insert unusual activity here]", both have which rarely produce anything other than mediocrity at best. With this overwhelming abundance of poor shows, the ability to believe that Girls Und Panzer could b…

A particular scene in Girls und Panzer always struck me as the most beautiful thing animated. Reizei Mako is a loli with black hair; she wears a white headband and goes to school. The problem is she’s often sleepy and is always late for school. The other members of the cast are worried because they need a teammate for their panzer team (more on that later). Mako is perfect for the role of the driver. But once again, on the day when she is needed, she is still sleeping in her comfy bed. Nishizumi Miho, the protagonist, with her brownish-orange hair decides to wake her up osananamiji-style. In the early morning, cuckoos and alarm clocks cry out to wake Mako up. Yet, she is still asleep. Miho drives a panzer and shoots a bullet into the sky, waking Mako up from her dreams.
This is the ingenu…

Anime Review:
Girls Und Panzer
By Bobjonez98
Story: 8/10-
In the very distant future, Sensha-do (Way of the Tank) is considered a traditional martial art for young girls, it is a way to build character, relationships, and attitude. Miho Nishizumi, youngest daughter of the famous Nishizumi Tank Driving School, transfers to Oarai Academy to escape the world of Sensha-do. Once she arrives however, she discovers that the program is being revived, and she is pressured by the student council to join. The story follows Miho, and her friends as they scrounge up tanks, hone their skills, and enter the world Sensha-do championship. In the world of “Cute Girls Doing Military Things”, this is the middle child between Strike Witches and Upotte!. Panzers plot is not as complex as Strike Witches, but i…

Story 8/10
Other then the whole high school girl club about tanks aspect, the story is not very original, but I never really based the quality of an anime on how original its is, just how well executed it is and the story for Girls und panzer was pretty well executed. There were several conflicts and issues in the story that developed through the anime that were paced well. I found the ending quite satisfying. The scenes are well written and the whole anime had a nice pace that was comfortable, but not too slow either. The dialogue is good, even though both can get really really cheesy at times (good thing I like it when a bit of cheesiness is thrown in). If you're looking for a story that's fun, has lots of action, and about friendship with a little drama thrown in, then this anime might…
