Hope someone would translate better this yaraon article. Using Google translate, it seem that the GuP producer Kiyoshi Sugiyama is doubtful that a season 2(phase 2) will be made. Still want a clear translation of the article.

Well, I'm okay if there's no season 2(still want it though if possible). Better to finish in a high note than continue but doesn't meet high expectations and end up not good as the first.

http://www.someanithing.com/148 This sold 36k? How can a season 2 NOT be made with those sales, that's ridiculously high. Well I guess they are making a movie for now.

They released an OVA last year, and have a movie scheduled for this year, so the production team has been pretty busy. The animation studio, god bless them, has only moved forward using the same writer and director, sure they could have thrown together a filler season two, but I am happy that they are respecting the franchise instead of crassly exploiting it.

Would I like a season two? Of course, but only if the quality was as high as the first season.

I don't see why there would be a 2nd season? What more can they do with the series after the movie? More battles? I think all the major tanks are already done.

Did any of you guys watched 1'st episode?



So I cannot understand how can they have hard time writing story for season 2 with this much material available?

Yeah that is a good point. Though do we know what the movie is going to be about?

Perhaps the second season could be a little ways into the future, where you grow out of World War Two tanks and use more modern equipment ?

That head of tankery lady had a Challenger 2 tank after all and that looked pretty cool, there's certainly no end to the amount of modern equipment that could star in a new season, you could even involve Cold War equipment.

^Actually, that's a Type 10 and not a Challenger 2. Also, it is not allowed to be used in Tankery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_10

As far as Girls und Panzer going from WWII-era tanks to modern tanks, I think it might not go there. The problem with modern tanks is that all of them are more dependent on electronic equipment like computers which makes accuracy to hit the target easy which defeats the competitiveness of Tankery wherein you're more dependent on the skills and teamwork of the tank crew to defeat the other team without the help of computers.

We'll just have to wait for the movie to finally be released how will it don on the Japan box office and home video to see what's next for the GuP franchise whether it will continue on the anime side(the manga side so far still continues) or not.

Well, I wouldn't mind if they chose to end it with the movie, though I have doubts that they'll be able to cover all the foundation they laid out in 120 minutes when they focused on one part across the span of 12 episodes, all around 30 minutes. I like the idea of international tankery.

Anyway, if they don't make a second season for the anime, there's always the spin-off mangas that are still running.

Strike Witches does have male military commanders... and usually all they do is make the situation worse for the girls. :D Why add that when we could get more MILF officers instead?

So Bandai Visual bought Actas to acquire GuP's property so they can make sequels mostly likely cause it would make them easy money considering how well S1 sold.

HA! As a relatively new weeaboo, I've never truly had to go through a beloved franchise being milked dry and run into the ground before. BRING IT ON. I've been kind of dreading Das Finale anyway, GuP as it is now is the most perfect anime franchise I've ever seen and I have so little hope for it to stay that good going forward.

Yeah, that was never a smart title choice. Das Finale is a series of theatrically released OVAs, by the way, not just one movie.

For me, the GuP franchise has been doing a fine job in keeping it alive and consistently good. Bandai Visual has been one of the production committee of this series since its inception so I'm keeping faith that they would not screw up. It's just that they bought the studio doing GuP so that they could handle its production properly since Actas had been known to experience production delays in the past with GuP but most especially on the last 2 series they worked on(Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars and Long Riders). Princess Principal doesn't count so far since it's a co-production with Studio 3Hz.

Season 2 never happened, and never will. But at least they made a movie which was excellent. So much action happening in the second half. It didn't disappoint me.

Then we have Das Finale, which is supposedly the final. I just hope it plays its cards well enough. Will there be a second Ooarai vs Kuromorimine match? Or anything else like that? It's too early to say, but i really hope so. Oh, the excitement, if it happens. At the moment, only two parts exist, so there's still hope. It will take few years to finish, but i can wait. In the meantime, i'll have to start watching it. It's been a long time since i've seen some good old Tankery. After seeing several clips for both parts, i'm excited for it.
