Synopsis

Having won the 63rd National Sensha-dou tournament, the girls from Ooarai Girls Academy managed to prevent their school from closure by the Japanese Ministry of Education. However, new troubles loom on the horizon: a ministry official argues that the deal was not legally binding and that the Ooarai school carrier is to be decommissioned. Students and their families are frustrated with this injustice and overwhelmed with despair; it seems little can be done to save the school.

Their last glimmer of hope is a proposed match against the All-Stars University Sensha-dou team, consisting of the most talented students from all over the country. Despite Ooarai being severely outnumbered and clearly outclassed, they accept the challenge.

Technically is 9.8/10

At first, i thought is gonna be some those girls military movie that push too much on the drama when making a full length film.
And ofc every great anime i watched, always beyond my expectation. Even it still has little bit of drama is not that kind of annoying.

The lost of school plot after fighting for it from the TV series, makes the stake higher than before and it worth to fight for, specially if both the characters and the audiences has a connection to it. Also the character progression in here are quite good, specially the Morals Committee (quite ...

Mixed Feelings

[While you are reading this, you may begin to think at certain points "Damn, they're gonna spoil it for me!" No, I'm not. THERE ARE NO SPOILERS. Not that there is that much to spoil in this storyline anyway.]

Dude, if it wasn't enough for them to make a series and a couple of side stories and spinoffs of Girls Und Panzer, they made a film as well! In fact, it doesn't actually seem like a lot considering how many series take up many more episodes and seasons and so forth than Girls Und Panzer, but in terms of proper storylines, it is certainly a difficult ... one to be creative with. I mean, girls, tanks... long tank battles...... some weird school-ships......... some more tank battles. It doesn't really change, and I don't see how it can. And this film is no different. It doesn't really add anything new to the table; well technically in terms of story-line, yes it does, but when you're watching it, it does just feel like a the creators have just gone "Out of ideas? No problem! Panzer Vor!" in the true spirit of Girls Und Panzer. So what do they do? They have no new storyline so they just make most of the film a tank battle and make them even more fuck unrealistic than last time. But then it's Girls Und Panzer so what did you expect?!
For me personally, sometimes the tank battles in the film go a little too far. Now I understand that they are not meant to be realistic in the slightest, but when all the tanks are modelled on real tanks, and you have characters like Erwin and Yukari - who love tanks and history in general and show that such is an important part of the series - it makes sense for the tank battles stay relatively physically feasible. Note I said "physically feasible", not "realistic". But anyway, that's just me. I've probably just watched "A Bridge Too Far" too many times. In all fairness, despite being rather infuriating for me, they are pretty good, something that just seems to work for Girls Und Panzer. Despite being so long, they manage to retain momentum rather well.

So that's story, so what about characters? Well it's kind of difficult to rate the characters exclusively from this film, since the series is what really introduces them and the film just hopes you can remember them. That is except for the crazy "Imperial Japan" inspired Chi-Ha-Tan Academy, which I find the presentation of rather interesting from a historical point of view (considering this is an anime, the presentation of their... fuck it I'm not giving you a history lesson). And those crazy Finnish ragging their BT-42 to "Säkkijärven Polkka"! Anyway so with the series in mind as well, they're pretty good man! Well I like them, but obviously it depends who's watching it. They all have very distinct characters, and most seem very original to Girls Und Panzer. Like Erwin for example... Mind you, you got to question why she dresses up like The Desert Fox... Actually, just don't question it!

Graphics? Not going to lie, for some reason I'm not a massive fan. Well, I think the character design is great, with it giving a great balance "cute girls" and originality, complementing Girls Und Panzer's atmosphere very well. And the tank design is pretty accurate too, yes, legitimate tanks, gotta love it! Hence why I ended up giving it 7. But I don't know, pretty much everything else just doesn't always do it for me.

Sound? I love this soundtrack! What makes it great is their use of legitimate World War II marches, and with the correct countries as well! And the fact that all the themes were recorded for the series, they all have that distinct Girls Und Panzer character, which just takes this film to the next level. You feel like the creators genuinely enjoyed making it! And are historians as well!

So, what can I say? It goes without saying, you can only watch this film if you have seen the series. Now; if you didn't like the series, you will hate this film, for it takes everything that is wrong with the series and makes it worse. If you liked the series, then you will - like - this film. It's fun, energetic and completely defies the basic laws of physics. That's it, this film is just so fucking fun! I say "like", if it be more than that you are simply a Girls Und Panzer obsessive, but then you wouldn't be reading this review, you'd be playing World of Tanks or something.
As for me, well I liked it, but then I am into tanks, so it's kind of inevitable. Regardless, I'm sure I'll watch it over and over again just for fun.

Oh, and another thing: never heard those "English Proverbs" Darjeeling keeps talking about...

Ok. I rated the series 9/10. But this film is bad. Plain and simple. Why you ask? I will try to illustrate why... and i will probably reference what they did with the original series as well as usual japanese tropes and well-known cultural aspects. Because this was done by japanese after all, it is hard to take it out of context for me.

I disabled the spoiler warning because i don't consider what i wrote here to be a problem when it comes to this. But here is a disclaimer anyway. This film is not about the plot, it is about tank battles, brought about ...
