Girls und Panzer anime

That's right, it's tank time! Introducing Girls und Panzer! This is the first anime that I'm blogging about because it's the best anime I've seen so far. I seriously re-watched this anime 5 times and still willing to do it again! But don't put your expectations too high I suppose, because I'm me, and you're you. Tastebuds, y'know? ;)

Now Girls und Panzer is set in a world where

cities are built on giant airplane carriers! O___O I was like 'what the...' when they zoomed out of the city to reveal an aircraft carrier.

Anyway, the story revolves around Nishizumi Miho, who transferred to Oarai Girls Academy for a reason. Oh, what reason you ask? Well, she's from a family and school with a long history of doing sensha-do/panzerfahren (a.k.a a school club that practices the 'way of the tank'). Her family's school is called Kuromorimine (long word I know o___-"), which is headed by her mom, and has her sister as the captain of the club. That school is basically the 'elites' of the world, which has won many tournaments throughout the years.

You see, while her family's school practices iron-willed, do-or-die, strike-fast-and-end-it mentality, but she's the person that has slow-and-steady, leave-no-girl-behind attitude.

Because she's been told off by her mother because Miho costed the team , Miho decided to run away from the school because she got scared of doing sensha-do. Oarai Girls Academy on the other hand, is the only school without a sensha-do club, so TA-DA! This is where she transferred...

Until she came along :P

Kadotani Anzu is the president of the student's council. She barged into Miho's classroom and asked her to join their sensha-do club which is about to start up again xD

Priceless expression! xD

Soooooooo after a few dramas, Miho reluctantly joins the school's club. The anime from then on all goes uphill :D

Over the course of a few battles, Miho was eventually promoted to the captain of Oorai Girl Academy's captain because she's just too damn talented.

"Praise me~ Praise me more~"

Of course, being in a tank club means that there's more than one person. It only started off with a few people because it's new, but as time went by, it only got merrier.

The team, plus the captains and sub-captains of the other schools.

And here's the best part. Because their school is low on funds, they sold off all the sellable tanks... leaving only the worst/useless ones behind. The first official battle started with an imbalanced amount of tanks, and their enemies laughed at them... xD Bad move.

I did not know what crap I spurted on top but let's go hyper! :D The theme and plot of this anime is awesome and inspiring, with a dash of humour and a loadful of cuteness. In this anime you can get to see puny tanks beat up bigger ones, and the strategy is always witty and fun to watch.

Me: I'll name it operation 'kawaii'.

My team: Let's show some skin~

And some hnnng expressions :P

Enemy: "Jeezuz you're too cute to shoot at!"

Enemy: "We're braking down cuz of cuteness!"

I guess we got them.

*ahem* Enough of my short story.

Anyway! Since I have spare time I'll introduce to you the main team.

Nishizumi Miho

I intro'ed to you about her so :P

Takebe Saori

A really go-getter girl, she's always the cheerfulness of the team. Her bright personality always lights up the mood and she's a bit of a tomboy xD

Isuzu Hana

Hana's a very lady-like girl who belongs to a family with a long history of flower-arranging. Her delicate flower-arranging skills gives her the precision and elegance she needs as an accurate gunner.

Akiyama Yukari

This girl is a tank-fanatic! xD She is often shy, but once she gets a hold of tanks she'll go ballistically insane! The picture below says all xD

 Reizei Mako

 This low-blooded girl is always sleeping any time she gets a chance to. She has serious difficulty waking up in the morning, and loves her only family member - her grandmother. She's a top-grade student in the school, and with her psychotic ability to memorise anything in a flash, she started riding the tank like a pro with just a glance through the manual.

"Don't you want some of me? Well, then. Watch Girls und Panzer today."

This anime is very well executed. Well done I say to the producers, because even tank model name, shape and historical battles were scrutinised in making this anime as perfect as possible. One more thing is the climax. perfectly executed! 10/10 for my moe tastes.


See ya!
