THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This special takes place after the events of the Girls und Panzer movie soooooo you have better watched it before coming here..

Anyway, Arisu Shimada was set to transfer to Ooarai Girls Academy and was already getting along with the girls but she wants to battle Miho as her rival, not as a teammate. Therefore, her transfer to Ooarai has been cancelled out. But at least it sure was amazing seeing the Ooarai girls all fired up and showing their specialties in welcoming her aboard.

For crying shame.... T~T I want Arisu to stay in Ooarai though.. ;_;

I didn't want her to join the school and glad it didn't end up happening, like them much more as rivals.

Arisu is cute. She somewhat reminds me of Amae Koromo from Saki series.

Awwww, I was hoping she'll join the school and then she'll be with them to participate for the leagues prior to the world tournament...

Hm... then again maybe they'll fight again in the pro league and then both gets recruited for the world tournament? That'll be also a viable route...

Argh, look at me blabbing about the future episodes/movies when we haven't even got a bit of a hint that this series will be continuing or not.

That ending though, kept the same song but it has her instead of Miho. They even put the Boko in the end...

Pretty enjoyable OVA. that reminds me. I always thought Boko was just Miho's bears that was just really torn but she still keeps them. Never thought it was actually a in-universe series. They never really discuss what happened to the Boko museum Alice wanted to save though. I thought they would of discuss it in the OVA.

And possible new content can be world cup. Since it has been confirmed the sport is world wide.

In the movie's credits, Alice is seen helping out with the restoration of the museum, so it's safe to say that it lives on :)

What's up with all those activities they have in Oarai, lol? Tea ceremony, mystic dojo, ninja training(?)?

After Miho told Alice what she liked most about her high school days was that she could see her friends every day, I thought Alice would decide to go back to her university. I guess her desire to battle against Miho is stronger, though.

The proper spelling is Alice, since that's what the official merchandise gives.

then why the mal title is Arisu if the official is Alice? I think even the characters pronounce it Alice.

There's so many specials and OVAs for this series; it's hard to keep track sometimes.

Lol, did Mako always sleep like that on the tank? xD

Wow, look at all that food! They were so hospitable towards her; too bad that she didn't want to join them in the end.


Crap, just read the OP's post...I didn't watch the movie. xD No wonder.

Episode cute enough, the thing I liked is that despite the brevity, it has got to show a little all the characters that are in the cast, although I would have preferred them to show a little more of their respective characters. I love the Rabbit and the Leopard team, but also the rest of the characters are the same fun and you make love. It's nice the ending with Arisu.

From the looks of it, this seems like it's still a pretty popular series so I'm hoping we get an announcement for another season sometime in the near future. Especially since this ova confirmed that Alice sees Miho as a rival and wants a rematch (possibly in a pro game/world tournament hopefully). If it does end up happening, I think it would be cool if they decide to mix the battles up with 2v2 team matches and annihilation games like they did in the movie. Just imagining a match between Mika & Alice vs Miho & Maho (or Miho & Katyusha) is getting me pretty hyped.

This was too adorable! senshado aside, I loved how the volleyball club seems to solve every single problem with .. volleyball.

Also, they all get excited over Alice, while Miho, the girl who single handedly lead a team which slaughtered every other school while outnumbered, outgunned and with shitty tanks, gets forgotten.

PS: Would be really great if such a great franchise as Girls und Panzer could be checked before edited on MAL.

Nice specials. Sadly it just hold only for 15 mins length only. Well, i guess my last hope attach at the Das Finale movie parts, then?

Anyway, its too bad Alice didn't join Oorai. That school would've been so OP with Arisu and Miho in one team.

Yeah, these types of mistakes on the database can be pretty annoying.

You could try sending a PM to one of the many mods that usually hang around the forum, but other than banning users, deleting posts and locking or moving threads around I don't think they do much. It would be a pleasant surprise if they actually got these types of problems fixed.

@Tenth nah, I like watching those two geek out of a stuffed animal. Miho has more rivals then she has close friends at oorai, literally at least one per school if not more
