For those who don't know, there are in fact 2 ( ZWO ) mangas for this series. One has even younger girls then the other....
The first 2 chapters got scantlated. They are all equally stupid.

This series has past beyond all ordinary stupid and become a strange kind of good.

I watched commie sub... oh god the random German inserts make everything seem even stupider.

Looks like this show is getting funnier.
The Tank decorating, the girls reaction on waking up. The drive through the city. The second carrier.

The deadpan way they are running with some of the settings craziness.


Definitely passed the watchability test.

For those of you who enjoy the battles:
From what I know this is the correct way to use a Japanese made tank.

Wow this show moves fast. Each of those subplots would have taken several episodes in normal anime.

But the really crazy thing is the background setting. WTF is going on in this world. Every show would be good if it played a setting that crazy that straight.

Well, given they had images of both in the background at various points, I guess it would be a thing.

Edit; oh god that British WWI tank has a semaphore mast on top.
Radios are complicated. One would expect an Army to stick with the classics.

That's amazing. What's the turret with no barrel for?
I think it's a machinegun turret. And someone stole their gun.

Also :psyduck:, I still don't understand how a nation that was famed for having their tankettes be taken out by African tribal warriors beat a school with some of the best tanks of the early war.
I don't understand enough about tanks to get what you are referring too here.

e: Oh from the teaser. I don't usually watch those. In case it spoils an epic battle between France and Italy in the first half of the next episode or something like this. :argh:

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea about how Italian tanks preformed. The French tanks were of course top of the line. They just sucked at doctrine. I am now imagining Doctrine Man as the Itaka coach. :stare:

It's also important to point out that they pronounce it Kaiser in the show.
Yes this is announced in the 5.5 episode. In fact it was the only good part of that episode.
The History Club members all address each other by their true soul names.
Kaiser who loves the Roman empire.
Erwin who loves European history, especially WW2.
Saemonza who likes the sengoku period.
Oryou who likes the edo period.

I thought I was a bit burned out on all the moe in this series. Then they started singing.


Possibly more fitting to this series : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WjHU9nwEgE

Or the :ussr: is rolling in his grave version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_sZeGb6HOw ( that is literally one of the top comments.)

Though I do think Korobushka is a better song. Especially Hvorostovsky's version.

Am I the only one who honestly wanted the Pravda team to win after listening to them sing? Those girls must have put so much effort! Even Stalin-chan didn't look like an enormous jerk when she was singing. Why does it have to be just one winner in this tournament?
I thought that the main character deserved to lose for walking into that obvious trap.

But the episode ending basically bashed my hopes.

I love how that only happens on the ship. And that all trees on land are evergreens, or have no leaves.

More awesome music. :allears: There really needs to be an extended soundtrack.

Dancing too. Even better.
I suppose there were some fun tank chases.

Before the current moe boom this would have been a Harem series. With the same mostly stereotypical characters, only now they all fall in love with an even more boring mc.

This is why I like watching this. The OVA is unusually good for a swimsuit/beach episode.

Absolutely Amazing. That whole fight sequence.

Also OVA3 is out too. The mystery of the ships.

Isn't one of those in the group a submarine?

A 1v1 tournament might be nice. Or a battle where the main characters have the numerical advantage.

And I want to find out what kind of people are in that school that doesn't use an aircraft carrier. From the 3rd OVA.

I just got "War of the Human Tanks"

Girls und Panzer is a serious series. The characters are far away from sterotypes and in no way pandering. The battles and tanks are realistic and threated seriously.

There aren't high school artillery teams
