So.....do you want Azumanga Dioh crossed with World of Tanks? Then that's what you're going to get watching Girls und Panzer. The story following are main protagonist as they work together a band of misfits to take on the world of a all woman's sport known as Tankery!
------Story. Ranked 7(Good)
I only gave the Story a 7 because there's been a trend to the whole "Drafted Main Protagonist into the Sport" thing that's been done a number times over. My main point out to this would be the popular "Sabagebu!" anime about our young protagonist being "Drafted" into joining a club. Outside of that the two don't share anything else together.
------Art&Sound. Ranked 8(Very Good)
For an anime that puts highschool girls into fighting Tanks the art style is pretty unique. The art tells as well shows the gravity of each shot being shot, the damage is being fully shown, stuff is being ripped apart like it should normally if you was in a real tank fight. Does the stuff go overboard with how stuff happens? Sometimes. The Maus encounter was defeintly a bit over the top, I mean forget the fact you're facing a small army of tanks but now we're gonna drop you into some Armored Core-esc logic and put lots of small people against a massive tank! The sounding in the game is so believable that I honestly thought the fight was happening on screen. That's some pretty great work put into it.
------Characters. Ranked 8(Very Good)
Our main lead is somewhat of a deus ex when given the chance. A supposed "family bound" ace that gave up the life of being an ace like the other members of her family and wanted to be a normal girl. Its pretty saddening what happened so I wont spoil it for you but let's just say it will get you a bit. The characters are somewhat stereotypical but they're enjoyable to watch and when you get over that they really show they are willing to go all in when needed to. From the Student Council members to some of the other Tankery crews, its pretty enjoyable to watch them interact with the main protagonist, their crew and each other on the battlefield.
------Enjoyment. Ranked 10(Outstanding)
As someone that has played and enjoyed World of Tanks along with watching a slew of School-like anime Girls und Panzer is an amazing piece of anime. The show only had 12 episodes but I think the number of episodes was well warranted. From the fights to the development of the characters on and off the battlefield its just an amazing ride through and through.
------Overall. Ranked 9(Great)
If it wasn't for the story premise of the show I would of given it a 10 no questions asked. However while it did keep me from 10/10'ing the show I'd still rewatch it and recommend it. The show has promise for anyone wanting to watch a somewhat high paced fighting tank anime with anime highschoolers.
