Heroine and her crew decide to run away from the other tanks ganging up on them and blasting them, which is honestly the only sensible human action I have seen across two episodes. Dunkin’ Bento? A daycare? Honestly, a mammoth aircraft carrier transformed into a seafaring city is more interesting than girls in old tanks. They tend to hit, which is good, because it can’t be far to their school or God only knows what else is on that carrier deck.
#Girl und panzer review how to
She says, to teenagers, “Let’s learn how to use these tanks by driving them into the woods and shooting live ammo at each other” which would make even the NRA blanch.Īnd, with only a few minor hitches, they all drive off in 70-year-old war machines that soldiers had to be trained to operate. that crushes the headmaster’s Ferrari as it’s dropped from a low-flying cargo plane.That sentence would stand out in a review of almost anything else, but here it’s like a small trough in the line graph of crazy. There’s a montage of girls washing them that’s mercifully low on fanservice, and then they’re in working order. They’re all, interestingly enough, all WWII tanks, and all from Axis powers at that. Do you think the Chicken Coop Club stole it? Okay, look class president, I understand you’re a naïve 14-year-old girl in an upsetting skirt, but that tank didn’t drive itself into the lake. The class president makes a note of their locations so the “vehicle club” can retrieve them. I don’t know what’s going on with this freakishly huge carrier or the people tasted with making sure tanks don’t fall overboard, but someone needs an intervention. One is in a chicken coop, one is in a FOREST, one is at the bottom of a CLIFF, and one is at the BOTTOM OF A FREAKING LAKE. But there are three other tanks that have been lost since the Sensha program ended. So the girls assemble in front of the Tank Hangar and it turns out there’s only one tank and it’s broken. Her friends stick up for her, but Heroine eventually caves because God forbid a female lead be enthusiastic about something and have normal fear to overcome. The class president calls Heroine out of class and basically tells her to join the sensha club or she’ll be run out of school. She crosses streets with CARS DRIVING ON THEM.

However, or meek heroine’s timing is bad as the school decides to reactivate the sensha program soon after she arrives. This makes sense in that an aircraft carrier is the last place I’d expect to find a tank. So she transfers to a school on an aircraft carrier, because it doesn’t have a sensha-do program. Sensha-do is sold as an elegant martial art that makes ladies “more refined,” I venture much in the same way alcohol does. This was shown in a flashback and is, in my opinion, a perfectly valid reason to avoid tanks henceforth. Okay, so, there’s one girl who is a “sensha-do” (tank martial arts) expert but dropped out of it because she drove a tank off a cliff into the ocean. ON THE DECK OF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. LOOK AT THIS THING DWARF A COASTAL CITY: How nuts, you ask? Their school is also a town. I am enjoying this series, but it is kind of nuts. Today, we look at the beginning of Girls Und Panzer, an anime from 2012, which Wikipedia describes as a depiction of tank warfare between girl’s high schools. It is time for our very first Anime Review.
