Reviews

The third installment of the Girls und Panzer series from Actas Studios. From beginning to end the show is non-stop, face paced action with almost seamless transitions. Where GuP succeeds, and remains the bread and butter of Actas is that it is EXACTLY what the hell it is, Girls and Tanks, it doesn't try to be anything more than that. The show also succeeds in it animation directing and sound design. Albeit farfetched, the idea of the tanks maneuvering like Ferrari's through a jungle stretches the reality of what tanks were capable of doing. Sound design is outstanding! If you've ever seen a real tank or heard it move, you'd know how tracks sound as they click. The sound design in GuP has done an excellent job in bringing that lifelikeness to our ears everything is well thought out from the way shell is loaded into the battery to gunfire ricochets.

Why should you watch this anime?
If you have watched the previous 2, then this picks up right where it left off. If you like historical, sports, school club, as well as some science-fiction with little world building, this show is for you. If you have followed the show from it's earlier seasons and films, you find yourself rooting for the Girls of Oarai as they continue to press onward as the underdogs in the art of Senshadou. A show that is not focused on lethal combat but instead the use of tactics and teamwork. An adrenaline rush from the words, "Panzer Vour!."

Why you should not watch this anime?
First reason being, this is a continuation of the, 'Das Finale,' series that take place after the events of the original series as well as the, 'Der Film.'
If you've come for something dramatic or intellectually stimulating, Girls Und Panzer is not for you. If you need something completely grounded in reality, Girls Und Panzer is not for you.
