Girls & Panzer

Both shows are about cute girls doing manly things and facing serious challenges along the way in accomplishing their goals. In Girls und Panzer, girls are competing with each other in tanks, while in Haifuri, girls are learning to become sailors to do naval patrolling. Also, both shows are written by Reiko Yoshida.  

Both have almost exclusive female casts. Schoolgirls performing fairly realistic military battles featuring real ships and tanks. Both lighthearted on the surface but with some more serious tones at times. 

This exactly the same show. Cute girls doing cute things with military vehicles. Except one of them has more water than the other.  

WoT vs Worlds of Warships-what you like more? Basically the same, some fuwa-fuwa girls participating in epic tank/warship battles. The main difference that in GuP it's sport and in Haifuri it's reality. 

Both show involve high school girls participating in militaristic activity for fun. Whether you’re more of a grounded terrain, on-the-front-lines connoisseur or an oceanic battlefield, for-comba-and-trade aficionado, both shows will provide you plenty of entertainment and joy. 

Two stories about a group of high school girls participating in combat/military related activities. While the overall tone of the two anime can be quite different at times, many aspects do mirror each other. Lots of high action scenes during moments of combat, plenty of cute/moe moments between the characters, tiny flakes of fan service here and there, and a strong focus on friendship, camaraderie, and overcoming obstacles together as a team.  

Practically the same thing, but it Haifuri is ships and Girls und Panzer is tanks. 

Both are anime about High School girls commanding machines of war with cute clumsy girls screwing up from time to time followed by giant shells being fired from cannons. While Haifuri takes a more serious plot route, the tank battles in Girls und Panzer are non-lethal and more playful in nature. 

Obvious recommendation is obvious. Cute girls and warfare. Though in GuP it's more like a sport while in Haifuri it seems to be more serious 

The battles of these series are so intense!Both series are full of cute girls to love.The main characters have a strategic mindset in battles and they always care for others ending up always saving them and abandoning their duties. 

Both are pretty similar. One has high school girls operating tanks and the other has high school girls operating ships. If you liked Girls und Panzer, I definitely think you will like High School Fleet, I actually enjoyed it more. 

Both MC are very simillar, as well as their crewmates. Both anime are pretty much the same, except Haifuri doesn't have sport elements and contain some serious battles. Except for that, both anime are the same and give the same vibe. 

Haifuri is basically Girls und Schiff. Both anime involve girls utilising strategy and teamwork to achieve their goals. Both have a pretty big cast of loveable characters with distinct personalities. 

Basically Girls und Panzer but with ships. Military setting where a bunch of cute school girls are put in charge of serious military hardware. I'm no expert on tanks or ships, but both shows appear to try to be serious about portraying actual piloting their tanks/ships, requiring all the crew to work together with a leader who is a very good person but lacks confidence in themself. 

Kawaii girls and military. 

Moe Girls doing Warfare. 

little girls are fighting against other girls. With tanks and boats. Yup, that's original. By the way, both animes are good imo : if you like one, you might like the other one too, and vice versa. 

You cannot watch one without thinking abour the other. I really liked this one's atmosphere, which is as likable as GuP's. A very similar plot , although tanks are replaced with warships. MC is also captain of her crew, all teenage girls, who fought enemies, not for competition as in Girls und Panzer, but for wipe out an epidemic.....I won't say anymore 

Both very good though haifuri with ships  

Take a tank or ride a battleship 

It's easy, the only people that would really enjoy Girls und Panzer, are the ones who would enjoy Haifuri, you know, historians, military and maniacs. I am kinda the three at the same time. 

Think of Girls Und Panzer, but with ships. - Both feature school girls in some type of vehicle, in Girls und Panzer its tanks, and in High School Fleet, it's a vessel.  

cute girls doing badass things, no anthropomorphism, minimal fanservice, highschool military slice-of-life and feelgood 

Both are -Cute girls doing military things -Military school Warships are just tanks that floats  

both have a similar story atmosphere. The MCs of these two anime are captains who lead the battle on the battlefield and of course these two anime have lots of cute girls. 

Sweet little girls with deadly machines of war! Do you want something more than that !? Panzer Vor 

- High School girls work in small groups to form a large and well functioning team. - The strategies used by the team leader are unconventional, and are used to successfully win against opponents - Each leader shares passion and professional levels of skill inside their High School Club. - Both leaders at some point doubt their capabilities to succeed due to past failures that did more good than harm. Look, if none of that convinced you to see the other, the only thing that could sway your opinion is the fact that there's two cases of anime girls firing highly dangerous weapons at each other. 

Both are school anime in a military setting, where students are trained to operate military vehicles. Both also feature battles with live firearms, and a group of students must work together in order to defeat an enemy and survive.  

Both protagonists are drawn back into an activity she had come to dislike while growing up, finding new friends and a renewed interest. Both look up to their older sisters but do not have a good relationship with them. 

Let's see... 1. FMC (Saki, Miho) is genius at said activities, but refused to do it first due to dramatic past that has something to do with water. 2. Their girl friend (Nodoka, Yukari) is a fan of said club activities. 3. Both have 'estranged' older sister (Teru, Maho). 4. There were similarty between Saki's chars and GuP chars. 

Both leads in these two animes hated their 'respective roles in which they had alot of potential for, they had exceptional skill yet they refuse to take on that role because they both went through traumatic events of it in their past(s). 

Both are battle anime featuring groups of girls competing to be the best in the nation. Tanks with Girls und Panzer and Mahjong with Saki. The main protagonist's rival is her own older sister who is more experienced in the craft. A member of the group is obsessed with tanks/mahjong. I'm sure there are other parallels but basically Girls und Panzer is Saki with tanks. 

Tanks not your thing? Saki is Girls und Panzer's mahjong equivalent. Not only is style and execution similar, they mirror each other in both plot and character. 

Both series features a young group of girls together in an activity that they embrace and are skilled at. Both series has a school life setting where there is comedy, drama, and competitions. These competitions puts the girls' skills at test against other competitors. Friendship and strategies are involved in both series that allows the characters to stay one step ahead of their opponents. Both series also features some nice soundtrack. 

Incredibly similar premise with a very similar main character. Both are quality "sports" anime about female characters,.  

Both MC a reluctant to play in something they're good at because of something that happened in the past. Saki- Mahjong, GuP- Panzers Both the girls also have a somewhat strained relationship with their older sisters. In both series, the club tries to reach nationals Both are entertaining to watch with all the action, so have fun! 

both protagonists are child protegees of their games. both have sisters that they look up to that are relatively famous for the games, but do not have a good relationship with because of an incident. both do not like the game at first because of their childhood, but are pulled into it and realize how fun it can be. both are a team aiming for the nationals to face their sisters. both are about how the team works together and their motivation. both have some yuri. only difference is that saki is mahjong and girls und panzer is panzer (tank martial arts) 

- main characters really good at the sport they're playing - have sister who are at the level of pros, and are on bad terms with them - aim for national tourney with friends - main characters are pretty much all girls -Both are enjoyable to watch 

Nothing more to say, Girls und Panzer are more or less Saki on tanks. Main story, fights, characters-everything is really alike.  

Both are 'hype moe' shows with a similar reliance on crazy, unrealistic tactics/abilities and vast casts of token-y bit characters on school teams that compete against one another. Also, both mains are driven by a conflict between them and their terrifying older sister. However, Saki's characters are more individually developed, whereas Girls und Panzer mostly focuses on teams/rival schools having one core bit shared between the group to distinguish them.  

Main character is a girl, who doesn't like a certain game despite being very good at it. This has something to do with her family, mainly her older sister. In her school, she gets dragged to a team, where she makes new friends and gets to like the game. Then they go to a tournament, meet many opponents (cute girls) from other schools and play against all of them, while making their way to the final. We get to know girls from different teams, who are very diverse and likable (some of them even more than the main characters). Even though Saki isn't action-oriented, mahjong matches are equally intense as tank battles thanks to high amount of special effects and superpower-like abilities of the characters. Overall, Girls & Panzer is more, let's say kids-friendly, as fights aren't really violent and relations between characters are very kind. Saki is also rather light-hearted, yet contains a little bit of fanservice and borderline yuri moments. read more 

Girl transfers to a new school and somehow ends up in a military themed club pretty quickly. Shoot outs ensue and eventually the club fights against their counterparts from other schools. Girls und Panzer is far superior though, just saying. 

There's definitely a similar vibe from both series. Essentially, they involve a group of girls participating in a military like activity. The only difference here is the type of weapons used. In Girls und Panzer, it's tanks but in Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu, it deals with guns. There are exciting shootouts that requires strategy, teamwork, and a little luck to achieve victory. Additionally, the colorful cast of diverse characters are fun to watch. The series is lighthearted so expect some comedy that also takes place in a school life setting. The action is solid though and executed quite well. 

both have girls with guns both have similar club activities diference in Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu girls have shotgun in girls und panzer have panzer 

The two anime both start with a female character who joins a particular gathering that involves themselves with dangerous, yet fun military related activities. One about tanks and the other about airsoft. Another element is that all the main characters are female. 

Both contain girls in survival games. Girls and Panzer has tanks while Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu has guns. 

Both anime deal with girls engaging in very nontraditional activities involving guns, violence, and explosions...while somehow retaining their overall cuteness. The overall feel of the anime and the characters are also very similar. 

Both features a group of high school students participating in a war game, where they have to cooridinate and work together in order to defeat their foe. The big difference here is Girls & Panzer focus on tanks while Stella Jogakuin focus on surival game.  

Only one episode in but from what I can tell they are pretty similar as long as you change that Strike Witches is about fighting a war and Girls und Panzer is about a competition. 

well, the same Fumikane settings. Pretty girls and hardcore weapons in one. great if you enjoy the combination of girls with any robots, mecha and weapons. 

Both Anime consist of military aspects. Girls und Panzer goes on the tank side and Strike Witches goes on the plane side. But the only main difference is there is no magic in Girls und Panzer. Personally I believe that characters have the same characteristics and also play very similar roles, making them both very close in comparison. 

Girls who have high morale and great strategic skills can lead their comrades straight to victory. The series is known to have any World War 2 content in it such as the setting the show, or tanks that are used in combat. It features an all female cast that usually fight with their teammates, which they have a high morale of encouraging each other to win the fight. The male characters are often minor and have little presence in the series. The difference is that Strike Witches has several fan service scenes, and uses a suit that is aerial assault dogfight style fighting aliens. Girls und Panzar uses ground tank forces, and it is a competition show.  read more 

Fire, action and a lot of adrenaline are contained in both series! Strike Witches is not exactly the same of course, but remains the way allude nations without say the name specific of the country in fact, culture differences among the characters and so the military issues remains, funny in their own way but indeed very enjoyable. 

Both involve Moe girls in a military setting. Strike Witches is based on real WWII planes and magical Moe girls that based on ace pilot that flew those planes. Girls und Panzer involves WWII tanks on the ground.  

From light tanks to fast battleships, army to navy warfare, land to sea, but still retaining the same cute only girls vibe, gap moe/hardened lolis handling heavy armaments, learn world war II history,, witness the same female camaraderie, love and friendship, and still being able to attempt creating one of your favorite yuri one true pairing. Good stuff will happen 

Moe girls who do cute things often, both use WWII era weaponry. Though Girls und Panzer isn't actual war, the battles still get about as tense as KanColle 

World War 2 theme, in kancolle Japanese battleship becomes moe schoolgirls (what more can you ask?) fighting against monster ships, and slice of life of boats. Girls Und Panzer is about moe girls driving highly detailed ww2 tanks fighting against other tanks. Both of them feature slice of life, comedy, and action. Perfect for military otaku  

A bunch of middle school aged girls using World War II weaponry to fight each other. Kancolle is with ships and Girls & Panzer is with tanks. 

Both are schools that are based off the military. Kancolle is ships and planes, Girls and Panzer is tanks. Girls and Panzer is more of a sport whereas Kancolle they are trying to save the world. 

Both KanColle and GIrls und Panzer is about new students, joining a group of students, who then slowly develops to becoming an OP character who is crucial to the battalion they are in 

Both are comedies about group of girls trying to save school from closing. While in Love Live they do so by forming an idol group, in Girls und Panzer they do so by battling with tanks. 

Both stories involve a school under threat of closure, where the efforts of a small group or club are undertaken with a primary goal to save the school. 

When you think of school closing, You must be thinking of "Love Live". The girls in "Girls & Panzer" also have to do something so that their schools are not closed. And such a plot is the same as the plot of "Love Live". 

same audience 

In both K-ON! & Girls und Panzer people band together with the hopes of reaching the top. At first reaching the top seems like an impossible task as they are faced with multiple problems along the way, as each of the groups grow at what first seemed an impossible task then starts to seem possible with enough time and effort. As time passes and they continue towards their goal of reaching the top they start to get noticed and more people start supporting them in their journey to the top. 

To put it shortly, K-On! and Girls und Panzer are the same show, but with a different appeal and a vastly different character pool. The visual aesthetic is basically the same when it comes to faces, and the character design is very similar, although I personally see the GuP girls as cuter (albeit less realistic) than K-On!'s. While Girls und Panzer focuses on action and the competitive spirit of sports anime, K-On! explores the intimate and genuine parts of a girls' friendship. If you were dissatisfied with K-On!'s lack of competition arcs, or with Girls und Panzer's rather shallow cast, watching the other would be a refreshing experience. In conclusion, both shows are quite good, though they focus on different sides of the same coin. read more 

The Magnificent Kotobuki and Girls und Panzer are both lighthearted but has tons of action (no one dies in the fight although in the magnificent kotobuki it could be implied). They also have the same detail and focus to the equipment that is the highlight of the show (WWII tanks and WWII Japanese planes). They also have the similar weakness which is the characters, in GuP's case its the amount of characters they have while the kotobuki focuses more on the dogfights than character development. With that said, both have a pretty good main - main character that can be considered developed, Miho and Kylie. They are both directed by Mizushima, Tsutomu who gives life to these old machines. Gup tanks sounds great but kotobuki's 1st episode alone overshadows the whole sound design of the gup series. read more 

Same director, similar genre of cute girls playing War Thunder IRL 

Kawaii, chibi and military grade hardware on a battlefield, yes please!!! All this while maintaining a slice of life vibe that's entertaining and keeps you on the edge of your seat! 

Both features a group of people participlating in a war-game, where they have to fire live ammuniation at others to cripple/defeat them.  

Both series has a lighthearted way of presenting itself with a cast of young girls involved with the military. Both series has action, drama, comedy, and some emotions. Both series also has some interesting insight on military itself. 

Cute, moe girls with a military theme. Sora no Woto has a much darker and more melancholic atmosphere than Girls und Panzer, but both series are heartwarming with likeable, compelling protagonists working together in a team, and strong atmosphere and worldbuilding. 

military genre anime that is fun to watch 

Another historical warfare-themed show, great for any history nerds. Similarities: History-based(ish) Explosions & Weaponry Differences: Isekai Magic More complex plot Less tanks :( 

Both series are generic that involves cute girls doing cute things dealing with the usage of military equipment. Both series features a dominant female cast that have contains of stark personalities. At the same time, they each have their own skills and abilities of what they do. Both series has action and comedy that also has school life themes. 

* Both anime deals with weaponry/military vehicles... * Both are ” Cute Girls doing War things” * Both animes have mostly ”only girls” cast.. * Competitive schools.. weird rules..etc * Both have not very awesome character designs 

Similarities: Both have that same story plot where girl finds herself joining a club that has been revived after a long hiatus, Both have that same character where the MC starts out strong and gets shatters upon meeting a worthy opponent. Both have that same group of character that has a particular specialization. dissimilarities: One was more of a war game and the other one was more like a contest. In one anime the group can have as many member while in the other one was limited to a 5 girl group. One has some ecchi element in it while the other one doesn't.  

To be blatant, this is Girls und Panzer with a guy. The only other significant differences are: 1. It is set in the much more distant future (as far as I can tell) 2. The characters are of college age instead of middle/high-school age 3. Close friendships which are formed in GuP are substituted with romance 4. Instead of Panzers they have IS Overall, think of Girlz +1 guy und IS 

Lovable characters learning a sport, learning to work together as a team, and admirably pursuing success for a higher goal. In one it's to save their school, in the other it's to break the constraints of tradition. Supporting characters may resist, obstruct, and belittle, but some of them eventually become acceptant and supportive. These are simple, straightforward stories, full of warmth. Even predictable happy moments can offer great satisfaction to a viewer who cares about the characters.  

Both Pirates and Panzer have great character development, while not necessarily similar on face value, they struck the same cord with me. Also, i just really like girls working together to achieve goals! All that moe and such  

Both of these historical warfare-themed titles feature amazingly low-effort plotlines but are an absolute blast to watch. Highly recommend! 

If you liked the whole cute military theme with cool battles and great characters then Sky Girls is just as good as this one. Short cute and entertaining series 

Both anime has similarities in terms of their Sci-Fi setting which involves a unique kind of competition. (Flying Circus) for Ao no Kanata while (Sensha-do) for Girls und Panzer. 

Girls und panzer and Keijo are both about hyping something super absurd, some absurd sport. they are both parodies to sport anime (quetionable but i think so) and they both has the absurd humor. Also the eds are a bit similar. 

Perhaps it is the connection with war, the sea, the WWII, but the truth is that Japan is a fetishist of everything military and if the military can include minors in tanks, ships... or airplanes... without a doubt It will be worthy of your exciting repertoire of rare fetishes! I insist, Japan is the only country that manages CGDT with the war. Underage girls in school, never underestimate the power of a Sailor, short skirts, girls' faces, and weapons of war...  

plane girls? tank girls!  

Despite the starkly different premises (tanks and music), these two shows are surprisingly similar. For starter, they both have schoolgirl protagonists that are well versed in their respective field but deliberately chose a school that is only mediocre in terms of tankery/music. Despite that, their respective school has a big dream of winning the national tournament. The protagonists are reluctant to join at first, but becoming more committed to the cause gradually. What follows is a story of their struggles to attain that dream. Last but not least, the people who made these shows clearly did their research. You will pick up many interesting bits of knowledge of tanks/musical instruments by watching these two shows. read more
