| Thank God the wait is finally over. That was a great episode. I can see why it got cut out of the series though. As fun as it was Oorai had the upper hand pretty much the entire time. |
 |
| Italian tanks lack armor and firepower so their chances were always slim. This was the first time Oorai had the advantage in firepower and armor as in the series all their adversaries were superior in those regards. |
| I certainly loved this OVA. Love the Anzio girls. Love the food porn too. *craving for Italian food now.* :) Anzio's themes: Funiculi Funicula: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW0W7j04iRQ Il canto degli Arditi- Le Fiamme Nere - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsEYCDyaSec |

| Takuan_soho said: This applies to the characters as well, a frequent complaint is that they should be "developed" more, but really why? I couldn't agree more! In Episodes 8 and 9, Ooarai is fighting against the "Pravda High School" team, which we understand represents the Soviet Union during World War II. Nonna, Katyusha's second-in-command, appears to have a bra size of not less than F-cup. In real life, the average size of bras sold in Russia is D-cup. So I see no need for Nonna to be "developed" more. At the same time, Katyusha, the Pravda commander, does not quite make it to A-cup. So I guess it all balances out in the end. - - - - - Kidding aside, I personally felt that the series struck the right balance between too much character development and too little. - - - - - Regarding national stereotypes . . .

| PANZER VOR! I really missed moe girls driving tanks... can't wait for the film to come out  |
| A school that serves Italian food. Damn i was in the wrong schools i wanted Italian food as well when i saw still in school. Officially speaking the CV 33 isn't a tank but a tankette these where little armoured vehicles which looked like tanks. And there primary function was infantry support and scouting hence the light armour and weaponry. I have to say tho that battle was chaotic. |
| That. Was just great. Crazy tank action. Nice that we got to see the battle. |

| Wow that was great! Anzio put up quite a fight. Carpaccio and Caesar using tank-fu, hahaha that was awesome! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| that was crazy, ridiculously fun :3 |
| god how i miss this show and it's tongue and cheek dialogue so entertaining to watch. |
 |
| That was such a fun episode. Aside from the tank battles, the dialogue is absolutely amusing :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Fun, fun, and more fun! Thats how I describe this OVA. It's absolutely entertaining seeing them go out. Team Anzio is a fun bunch. I want more senshado! |
| Damn this OVA felt like 5 min, it was rly good. Can't wait for the movie to come out. |
 |
| Even dirty tank can change to pure love, we need more anime like GUP to save the world. |
 |
| Loved how Yukari went undercover again. Plus the tank battles were awesome. Give us second season Japan. We need moar. |
okanagan said: The average bra size of women in Italy is a C-cup. The animation seems to have that aspect roughly correct. That does not surprise me, since the director was near fanatical in his insistence on accuracy on the original TV series. According to the same information source, the average bra size in Japan is A-cup. Note that these girls are actually Japanese girls living in Japan and merely pretending to be Italian. Their high school merely has an Italian theme. Therefore, there must be some degree of padding going on. Maybe we'll see that if we look closely. Wow who care about their breasts really when there is so much juicy tank porn going on. On that note my tankboner was not satisfied with this OVA. It just kinda wasnt epic enough to excite me, the strategies not nearly complex/smart enough to impress. All in all a pretty pointless OVA if you ask me. Oh and I neve liked the characters anyway, except for the tanks the real main characters. |
| I enjoyed that immensely. Gave it a score of 10. I felt a little sorry for Anzio though, they were crushed. |
| Subbed hd stream http://anilinkz.com/girls-und-panzer-kore-ga-hontou-no-anzio-sen-desu-ova Loved it |
| Fiction Responsibly |
| Knowing how the battle ended, I kinda felt bad for the "Italian" girls at the beginning when they were really saying they'd win and stuff. Good think they don't really care. xD Also, "Why wasn't Anzio watching the final match?": Answered. |
 |
| Oh man what a fun show. I missed that OP. I was so confused until I saw this which was pretty funny: But really fun episode. Need moar tank porn. Also what was the point of that Stug lesson when they didn't even use it? Just kept ramming the other tank lol |
| damn look at that animation. anyways it felt really nostalgic watching OVA. tanks ftw! |
 |
| That was a lot of fun as always. I missed this anime so much. Now, we wait for the movie. |
| Pretty sick tank battle. Nice to see that Anchovy and co were such good sports even though they lost. They even offered free food! |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| Great OVA. Really loved the frenetic pace of the fast paced 'tankettes' from the Anzio school, which made for a nice change of pace compared to some of the slower moving battles from the main series. Also amusing to find out why Anzio wasn't at the final match. :D |

| Damn gotta love this show, epic tank fights. I guess the bad thing (or a good thing?) is it's too light hearted compared to the manga version... baki502 said: okanagan said: The average bra size of women in Italy is a C-cup.

| Don't attribute maliciousness when stupidity is enough to explain what happens |
| Those Italian girls are crazy. It must be like a brutal roller coaster without safety inside those tiny flippable tanks. Just imagine the injury count after a match like that. |
| I rarely revisit threads, so if you're after a reply you should PM me or post a comment on my profile. |
| Well, on the one hand the action was pretty amazing, on the other hand the show completely let go of even basic physics which is a great shame, given how grounded the main series was (even the Maus incident can be handwaved with reinforced interior). Loved Anzio and was really happy for some screentime for Hippo team. 7/10 quality stuff. Bonus points for coming up with a reason why we didn't see Anchovy in the finals. |
| It was fun, but the tank battle after they figured out Anzio set up those billboards (which was very early on) was pretty straightforward. It lacked the uniqueness/excitement of almost every other tank battle in the series, which is a shame, and easily the biggest let-down of the OVA. Plus, there were quite a few scenes whose presence in the OVA was questionable. The after-credits scene was cute, though. I'm glad we got this, but in the end, it really doesn't contribute much of anything to series. 6/10 |
| not much greatness but that was a nice watch, the 37mins feels so short i think this OVA introduced Anzio team for the upcoming movie need more so i think i'll go check out the manga |
| Guess I'm late to the game, as I didn't know there was an OVA but I really enjoyed this OVA. The wonderful thing about this anime is that it keeps this upbeat optimism that's so infectious. Their expressions and jokes were great and the action was super well executed. I loved the progression of the battle and fast-paced action as well as contrast in cultures they've been emphasizing in each battle. Can't wait for the movie to come out. >.< |
| If CV 33s could actually maneuver like that, and be flipped back on their tracks as easily, then you could make a mint selling them in lieu of 4-wheelers. I know I'd buy one! :) |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| A good OVA with a good deal of military technique with an apparatus and truthful narrative very addictive, even knowing the final outcome I gassed all the time. Drawings and CG as very good quality, the tanks and their movements, were well represented; cute characters and well characterized. This OVA is another gem to be added to this series really nice to follow, are satisfied overall. Krunchy said: Even dirty tank can change to pure love, we need more anime like GUP to save the world.

Would have been better if they referenced this: okanagan said: The average bra size of women in Italy is a C-cup. The animation seems to have that aspect roughly correct.

| A pretty well done OVA, I'm glad I finally get to know what happened in that match and was pretty intense for a second. Also the ending is hilarious! |

| That was a thoroughly enjoyable OVA. It exceeded all of my expectations and did everything I wanted it to do. It expanded on the original story, filled in more gaps and because it knew full well that it was taking place after the series, played on our preconceived knowledge of the characters by giving us more of their quirks. That post credits scene was amazing. |
| Well they certainly acted like Italian military during world war 2. |
| Wow, a team that is not all high and/or mighty (Gloriana certainly had their heads high, though they are the closest to a normal behaviour we have in the anime itself). No bashing, insult or anything. I would have loved for it to show the complete battle from the point of view of Anzio, like they did with the start, but it was nice anyways. |
| That after credit scene is hillarious |
| Lots of Fun Stuff Happens I laugh my Ass of Looking at it.. I mean They Brought CV-33 into the fight, The best that tank can do is Distraction and Diversion. and I somewhat Find Pepperoni and Anchovy to be Attractive. |
| Front Hooks...Oh yeah... |
| The after credit scene was the best. I just cant get enough of this series, when they skipped the anzio battle I was a bit sad, but this way we got a proper and longer version, nice. |

Nice video production skills by Yukari. |
 |
| Really good OVA, can't believe i missed watching this OVA even tho i have watched this series in 2014 lol.. |
