The series was directed by Tsutomu Mizushima, written by Reiko Yoshida and produced by Kiyoshi Sugiyama. But then, one doesn't go into a high school girl tank battle expecting fair play and realism, eh? D Fun watch that exceeded expectations.Girls und Panzer ( ガールズ&パンツァー, Gāruzu ando Pantsā) (with the part in German translated: Girls and Tanks) (or abbreviated as GuP) is a Japanese anime franchise created by Actas which depicts a competition between girls' high schools practicing tank warfare as a sport. One would think balanced sides would be a requirement. but pitting 5 tanks against 10 just doesn't seem cricket. In the drama of the show it's intended as an underdog sympathy trick. On the downside: I have to say some of the rules of the tank competitions are a bit lop sided.

If you're in the mood for anime girls, heavy weapons and ridiculous humor all in one series, this might be just the ticket. Strategic? In some parts very much so, in other parts ludicrously so. I think just about every tank ever made is featured in this 12-episode series and the follow-up 2 hour movie. I'm no expert so all I can speak from is audience impact- but it seems they have the tank models, weights, armor, maneuverability and power down pat. Obviously the creator and staff are *really in to tanks*. Creds have to be given to the research staff. So why not cute girls and tanks? Especially if they throw in a good sense of humor- which is the case. Cute girls and hot cars have sold hotrod magazines for decades. I don't think I've ever seen guys driving tanks." The concept is not without precedence. Typical line: "It's just that tankery is the very essence of femininity.

This show starts with a ridiculous concept- that girls in tank battles is the ultimate of high school femininity- and jumps the shark from there, repeatedly and intentionally. But after the first episode I was greatly interested- mainly due to the humor of the one liners and setup of characters. When I first saw this on Netflix I almost chose not to watch it. The series is produced using a blend of traditional animation techniques and 3D rendered models of the armored vehicles.
