Girls und Panzer	comment	In Real Life, certain Japanese martial arts are considered highly compatible with traditional womanly ideals, including kyuudou and naginatajutsu. In this show, one of those martial arts is sensha-do — the "Way of the Tank".Miho Nishizumi is a young scion of a legendary Sensha-do family who, due to a past trauma, has become reluctant to pilot tanks and transferred away from Kuromorimine Women's College, where her family has made a name, into Ōarai Girls' Academy, a little-known school ship docked in a little town of the same name, which has not fielded a Sensha-do team for the last twenty years. As fate would have it, the Student Council decided to take advantage of the buildup to the upcoming National Sensha-do Championships to revive their Sensha-do elective... and push Miho into leading Ōarai's first Sensha-do class in two decades, whether she likes it or not.Fortunately, she has new friends who are more than willing to help — boy-chasing Saori Takebe, gentle Hana Isuzu, tank fangirl Yukari Akiyama, and lethargic Mako Reizei. Together with them and a crew of over two dozen girls — including the Student Council, members of the recently-disbanded volleyball team, history buffs, and a group of freshmen (later, members of public morals committee and automotive club, and a group of online gamers) — Miho will have to learn to love her sport once more and lead Ōarai to victory — because, as she will eventually learn, there's more at stake than just the school's prestige or her reputation.Girls und Panzer, animated by Actas (Of Transformers Armada/Transformers Energon, Yutori-chan and éX-Driver fame), is an Anime First series that ran as part of the Fall 2012 Anime lineup. Expected to only be a niche anime, it has turned out to be the sleeper hit of 2012 and was a consistent Top 5 performer in Japan. Viewers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and South Africa can watch it legally on Crunchyroll. Due to various unforeseen circumstances, the last two episodes didn't air until March, during the Spring 2013 season.In spite of the Troubled Production, Girls und Panzer has turned into a multi-media juggernaut. Besides the anime, it also has print-media tie-ins, specifically in the form of several manga (prequel, adaptation and various spinoffs), a Light Novel adaptation (with art by Shimada Humikane of Strike Witches fame), Multiple OVAs, a Movie, and also Video games, and tie-ins to other video games, and even a pachinko game. Both the main manga and light novel tell the same story, except with different viewpoint characters: Yukari and Saori, respectively.The second manga, Little Army, is a Prequel, and tells the story of Miho's grade-school years, six years before her arrival at Ōarai. Much more than the two other tie-ins, the prequel gives important context to a lot of character interactions in the anime, particularly the secrets held by Miho's older sister, Maho, and a peek at the inner workings of both the Nishizumi School of Sensha-do and Kuromorimine Women's College.After the series aired, a third spin-off manga was released, entitled Girls und Panzer: Motto Love Love Sakusen desu (which translates to "It's the More Love Love Operation"). This manga eschews tank action for cute and funny 4-koma style strips.The fourth manga spinoff called Girls und Panzer: Ribbon Warrior was released in September 2014, and is a sidestory/sequel featuring a new protagonist named Shizuka Tsuruki, who practices a different type of tank sport called Tankathlon focusing on light tank battles.A fifth manga spinoff, Girls und Panzer: Fierce fight! It's the Maginot battle!, drawn by the same artist that drew the main manga adaptation, was released in November 2014 through the ComicWalker webmanga site, featuring the events around the Maginot school.The sixth manga spin-off was the sequel manga of Little Army called Girls und Panzer: Little Army II released in April 2015. It's still drawn by Tsuchii and its about Miho's friend Emi Nakasuga, returning to Japan to fulfill a certain promise by joining a Japanese Senshado school.Other manga spin-offs that came out were Girls und Panzer: Phase Erika, Girls und Panzer: Senshado no Susume, and Girls und Panzer der Film Variante. Another prequel, Phase Erika is centered around Erika Itsumi when she first entered Kuromorimine Girls High School. Senshado no Susume is more of a comedic take on the daily life of the Oarai Girls with some informative stuff about tanks. Girls und Panzer der Film Variante is the manga version of the animated movie.A movie was originally announced for release in 2014, but got pushed back to Summer 2015 and then finally Girls Und Panzer Der Film was released on November 21, 2015 in 77 theaters across Japan. In keeping with this anime's surprising popularity, in spite of a relatively limited release, the movie's current gross is over 2.5 billion yen with over 1.4 million tickets sold at the Japan Box Office as of August 13, 2017. It's currently ranked 3rd highest grossing late-night TV anime based movie, behind Love Live! The School Idol Movie and Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale.In addition to that, a special OVA separate from the ones bundled in with the Blu-Ray releases was released in July 2014. It finally expands Ōarai's match against the Italian-themed Anzio, which was never shown during the TV airing.In a move that surprised no one, the makers of World of Tanks and Studio Actas cooperated in creating in-game exclusive content related to the anime in celebration of the creation of a Japanese server cluster for the game. On September 6, 2013, Hajimete no Sensha-do: WoT for Beginners, a short manga on how to play World Of Tanks narrated by the Anglerfish crew, was released. They can be found on Wargaming Asia's site in English. Japanese voice packs starring the cast were also released, and there is a video of Mai Fuchigami, Miho's Japanese voice actress, getting a crash course in the game. Another video from Wargaming recreates battles from the anime in the game. In addition to the World of Tanks tie-ins, a Japan-only Play Station Vita game based on the series was released on June 26, 2014. A Panzer IV H with a Team Anglerfish paint scheme was also released as a console-only premium unit in World of Tanks.On August 28, 2016, an Official Tweet announced Girls Und Panzer: The Final Chapter was in production. This will be a series of six 40-minute OVAs instead of a TV series, starting with a theatrical release of the first part on December 9, 2017.On July 20, 2017, Bandai-Namco announced a Playstation 4 game Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match, released on February 22, 2018 in Japan and on February 27, 2018 in the rest of Asia with the appropriate regional subtitles (including English) with Japanese-only voice track. Preview trailer here.An official North American release occurred on December 3, 2013, with the OVAs released a few months later on Febuary 25th, 2014, along with an English Language Trailer at AnimeExpo 2013.Don't confuse it with Panzer Fraulein Alteseisen from the same character design artist. Don't confuse it with Tank Girl either, you'll be happier. For the spiritual ancestors of this anime, see Moeyo! Sensha Gakkounote "Moe Tank School" and Sailor-fuku to Jūsenshanote "Sailor Suits and Heavy Tanks", both of which were drawn by Girls und Panzer's character designer. High School Fleet is a similar show about high schoolers operating war craft (Navy ships in this case).

Girls und Panzer / int_13f5b1b	type	Instant-Win Condition
Girls und Panzer / int_13f5b1b	comment	Instant-Win Condition: One of the two types of Sensha-do matches allows this, by assigning a flag tank to each of the participating teams. Eliminate the flag tank, and you eliminate The Team, regardless of any technical advantages or numerical superiority. It is mentioned in episode 10.5 that this type of win condition makes it possible for smaller schools like Ōarai to compete against better-funded or equipped academies. Indeed, all of Ōarai's wins except for Anzio are because of this rule.

Girls und Panzer / int_1439161f	type	Heroic BSoD
Girls und Panzer / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic B.S.O.D.: Miho suffers through one in Episode 1 after the Student Council forces her to join Sensha-do. The expression on her face in the hallway is the same exact one a few moments later in her classroom. Miho suffers one again in Episode 6 after Saunders' reinforcements arrive to help their flag tank. They take out two rearguard tanks, and are closing in rapidly on the remaining three. However, she snaps out of it when Yukari and Hana hold her hands for support. Before the show even begins, it is implied Miho suffers one when she causes Kuromorimine to lose their final battle against Pravda last year, because she abandoned her flag tank to save the crew of another sinking tank. This ended Kuromorimine's nine-year tournament winning streak. This event causes her to transfer to "a school with no Sensha-do"... which so happens to revive it that year. In Little Army, Miho has one when she doubts her chances of winning against Maho's tank, until Emi snaps her out by telling her that she wants to win. She has another when Maho confirms that she did shoot the enemy's flag tank when it went to rescue one of her teammates, and begins acting cold and distant toward her.

Girls und Panzer / int_144ec68f	type	Negated Moment of Awesome
Girls und Panzer / int_144ec68f	comment	Negated Moment of Awesome: The volleyball club awesomely ambushes one of the Matilda IIs with a point blank shot to the rear, resulting in a massive explosion and fire. Unfortunately, when the smoke clears, the Matilda II's gun is pointing at them, and promptly returns the favor. Miho summons the nerve to question her mother Shiho about whether it was necessary for Maho to fire on the flag tank when it went to rescue her teammates, brought on by Maho's aloof behavior, and backed by her friends. Shiho calls it a "foolish question", and then proceeds to say that the Nishizumi school values victory above all else. While the question doesn't get much of a response from Shiho, the fact that Miho was able to ask it, which is uncharacteristic of her, results in Maho going to Miho to apologize and have a heart-to-heart talk. In the Final Battle, Hippo team stops to aim; Saemonza says a Badass Boast about avenging Mallard team; They fire — they HIT — and an awkward pause follows as their shell flies into view after bouncing off the Maus, which is completely undamaged and one-shots them right after.

That said, Nekota is shown to be a genuine bishoujo (standing out even amongst a cast full of them) when she removes her glasses, and Piyotan is either the most or second most buxom girl in the series (the only one even coming close to competing with her in the bust department being Nonna).

Girls und Panzer / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Firing the tank's cannon for the first time is shown to be intensely pleasurable for Saori, Hana, and Yukari. Similarly, Anzu's and Yuzu's pose after getting knocked out by Anglerfish team in the practice match. And Anzu stating "They done us good." The opening stages of the semifinals. The Ōarai teams are flush with their success against Anzio. Planning for a decisively short battle, they chase Pravda on their home turf against mild objection, take the battle to an unfamiliar urban setting and find themselves heavily outnumbered, completely surrounded, and held under siege while they starve and freeze due to being woefully unprepared for the conditions. Lampshaded by the Hippo girls:

Girls und Panzer / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
Girls und Panzer / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: A lot of details of the setting, such as the rules and procedures of Sensha-do (like how only prototypes and production models made prior to the end of World War II are allowed, and how the ammunition is rendered "safe") and world history, are only found in supplementary materials, and never mentioned in-show. The single most controversial battle scene, the rope bridge of episode 3, is explainable only with information found in the manga. Everything about Maho's motivations or her personal opinions can only be found in Little Army. While she acts warmly toward Miho in the last episode, only the prequel indicates that this is her actual personality. The same prequel also reveals the less-than-rosy relationship Shiho has with her daughters, and just how strict the Nishizumi school can be. The series never mentions the different schools of thought practiced by Sensha-do. The one showed by the anime is the "traditional" version, which is also practiced by mainland Europe and the United Kingdom. Another, the "unlimited" type, is practiced entirely in the US, and focuses on heavy customization. Proponents of the opposing practices generally don't get along. Safety during matches is apparently guaranteed using teams of marshals who rescue stricken tanks and crews if they come to serious grief. Due to Miho's role in the story, and the proxy conflict she has with her family as a result, only the Nishizumi style (which is said to focus on breakthroughs) gets focused on by the anime. However there are also other styles mentioned in the supplements: the Shimada style (which focuses on mobile warfare and recon), as well as the Murakami and Kumano styles (which focus on amphibious and siege assaults). There are also styles native to Europe, but these are not named and are just mentioned in passing.

She exploits this by pretending to conceal her flag tank in some woods near a crossroads, and radioing the rest of her forces to conduct reconnaissance. Saunders falls for it, and they dispatch an attack force to that site. There, they discover to their chagrin that the crossroads are a kill zone, with Oarai guns raining shells upon them from the high ground.

It's Lampshaded by Darjeeling in Episode 10, after some of Miho's former opponents come to greet her and wish her luck in the finals of the tournament. In Little Army, the students of the Nishizumi school who crewed Maho's tank in her practice battle against Miho's crew later train alongside Miho and her friends, in yet another inversion, since Maho won that battle. Maho making up with Miho at the finale, dropping her Jerkass Façade to congratulate her on winning her own way.

In all the important battles (all the Tournament Arc ones), they're severely outnumbered as well. Boiled down to its essence in the Final Battle, a duel between Miho in a Panzer IV — a prewar medium tank design that soldiered on — and Maho in a Tiger — a late-war design considered to rank among the best heavy tanks.

The model name of that FT version? KO. In episode 8, when the Pravda command team shows up, they pull up in one of Katyusha's namesake rocket-trucks.

The Student Council was planning to tell Miho during their dinner, but were unable to bring themselves to do so. In Episode 8, Miho's meekness and inability to assert her authority causes all of the Ōarai tanks to rush headlong into a carefully prepared ambush, since they don't hear her attempts to warn them.

Girls und Panzer / int_1daa7fce	comment	In the Back: The Volleyball team tries to shoot one of St. Gloriana's Matildas checking the parking lot. While the latter is opening a garage, the former is slowly rising up behind it on a car elevator. Checkmate. Unfortunately, it does no damage to the Matilda's rear, which then responds with extreme prejudice. It was inevitable when one considers how weak the Type 89's gun is against the Matilda's comparatively thick rear armor.note The Type 89's gun can penetrate a maximum of 34mm of armor; the Matilda has 55mm at the rear. The shot also just detonated a disposable external fuel tank, limiting damage to superficial armor burns. In episode 12, Rabbit Team pulls it off against Kuromorimine's Elefant heavy tank destroyer. The first volley fails to penetrate, even at point blank range. Once Saki points out its weak point (the shell ejection port), the second volley knocks it out. In the same episode, Anglerfish Team also pulls it off against Kuromorimine's flag tank. To get there, they had to pull a drift that destroys the Panzer IV's tracks.

Girls und Panzer / int_1e14ea2a	comment	How they defeat the Maus. To elaborate, the Student Council rams their Hetzer into the Maus's tracks from the front, using their speed and elevation to immobilize and lift the heaviest tank in the world. Teams Rabbit and Leopon then draw the Maus's attention by firing at its flank, allowing Team Duck to get their Type 89 to climb over the Hetzer and onto the Maus to jam its now fully-turned-to-the-side turret with its weight. Then Team Anglerfish's Panzer IV strolls their way up a slope next to the temporarily immobilized Maus so Hana can take it out with one shot through the now exposed air vents at its rear. Miho warned them that it was crazy and they said they trusted her enough to go with it.

Girls und Panzer / int_2205aff0	comment	Multi-Track Drifting: What the last play of the friendly match versus St. Gloriana becomes. It happens when Miho tries to outmaneuver the Churchill. Episode 5 has the Ōarai and Saunders tanks engaged in a high speed chase in the middle of a dense forest. With no roads, it would have been impossible for most vehicles, much less tanks, to be able to navigate through the trees at any level of speed. Used in episode 6 to dodge a shot from the Sherman Firefly's 17 pounder gun. Very impressive, considering that the shell goes at Mach 3.5 and the shot was fired from within 500 meters. Used heavily in episode 9 and justified since the battle took place in a snowy environment and it would be easier to drift in icy conditions. The Automobile Club discusses in episode 10 how they're going to pull it off in a Tiger(P). In the best example of this trope yet, The Panzer IV's final power slide against Maho's Tiger in the final episode. The Panzer IV drifts so hard it breaks its tracks in the process!

Girls und Panzer / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Girls und Panzer / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Kuromorimine's lineup of heavy tanks and tank destroyers means they're virtually invincible to Ōarai in a head-on fight. However, the tanks' weight make for poor off-road traction (Erika throws a track onscreen while pursuing Miho, and another is lost off-screen), and the tank destroyers' fixed guns mean they can't fire on Anzu's Hetzer parking in their midst. The Maus is so slow and heavy, it can only be effectively used in the town area since Ōarai could easily outmaneuver it in the field. In the BD supplementary materials, mention is made of an M4 Sherman in the US "Unlimited" League... that had been modified to carry the 120mm smoothbore gun from the M1A1 Abrams. Unfortunately, it didn't perform well, since there is no Senshado-legal ammo for that gun (APFSDS is banned), and because smoothbore guns lack rifling, normal AP rounds they fire will not spin in flight, and therefore have unstable flight paths and poor accuracy. In the OVAs, Pravda's "KV-2-tan" is given this treatment. Yes, it's got a terrifying 152mm howitzer. Yes, it looks badass. But it's slow, the turret is so heavy and its motor is so weak it can't turn the turret against gravity, which means it always has to stay on the level, and the controls are so stiff that it exhausts its crew of teenage girls very rapidly (the ammunition used in the historical KV-2 weighed around 40 kilos per shell; meaning it likely weighs almost as much as they do). This is borne out in the anime, when Katyusha relies on it to stop an Ōarai advance, and it fails miserably. The OVA reveals that the only reason Pravda ever deploy it is because Katyusha loves it. Because it's very tall. In another example of how the creators have Shown Their Work, all of these problems are what limited the KV-2's operational utility in real life.

Girls und Panzer / int_2ffa1e59	comment	Episode 11 shows very clearly that Anzu has Maho in her sights, yet she doesn't fire. GuP fandom can be divided in two categories: those fans who remembered Miho's explanation of German optical rangefinding sights way back in episode 3, knew the Tiger I's length, and had the balistic data of Anzu's 7.5 cm PaK 39 gun handy, and those fans who were left wondering why she didn't try to end the battle (achieving her Goal in Life of ensuring Ōarai Academy's continued existence) right there.note To save you the math: a 6.5 meter tank covering six striches means Maho was well past 500 meters. At that range, Anzu's gun had only about a 50% chance of penetrating the Tiger's side armor, leaving only the tracks as a viable target. Tracking Maho would accomplish nothing, because all of her team would stop to protect her (so they would all reach Ōarai's defensive line at the same time), while tracking other tanks would make them lag behind the main force, diminishing their cohesion — Kuromorimine's main advantage. This is also shown instead of told when Anzu uses a straggler for more hetzing...

Girls und Panzer / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: Kuromorimine and Pravda are shown to have demolished their competition in the first round. Ōarai against Anzio in the main series. The latter loses so hard that only their defeated state is shown. They do better in other adaptions but are still one of Ōarai's more solid victories. Defied by Kei in the Saunders battle when she chooses not to steamroll Ōarai with all her forces — a fact which is later acknowledged by Miho. The Maus knocks out two of Ōarai's tanks in Episode 12, while they can't make a dent in it. It is only stopped by a wild plan involving pinning it with both the Hetzer and Type 89, allowing Hana to fire through its one weak spot — the air vents normally hidden by the turret. The best example would be in the movie (Girls und Panzer: der Film) when Alice Shimada decides to finally enter the battle with her Centurion Mk.I. She singlehandedly beats every other tank Miho's team has untill it's just between her against Miho and Maho, who just barely manage to win.

After successfully breaking contact and denying Kuromorimine a field battle, Miho leads Ōarai into the urban training town, chasing down a Panzer III in the process.

Girls und Panzer / int_41dd77d	type	Zerg Rush
Girls und Panzer / int_41dd77d	comment	Zerg Rush: Saunders' primary tactic. The maximum number of tanks allowed on a single team in the first round is ten, and Saunders has enough Shermans to fill at least three teams. In their match against Ōarai, it's a 10 vs 5 fight. Even worse is that they're using late war Shermans, meaning that, on paper at least, their tanks are superior to Ōarai's tanks in every way. On top of that, they're utilizing the Shermans strength in numbers. This mirrors the real-life ability of the USA to not only produce enough Shermans for its own armies, but also enough to outfit Britain, the Free French, and have a few to send to Russia via lend-lease, though in actual combat, US tankers tended to prefer to ambush enemy tanks rather than swamp them — which is exactly Kei's plan: to hide her flag tank, find Ōarai, and then hit them with everything. Could have worked too, had Arisa not had to ruin things... Pravda takes it Up to Eleven when they bring 15 tanks in their match against Ōarai's 6. Kuromorimine tops all of the preceding examples by fielding a full complement of 20 AFVs of different types, all of which outgun Ōarai by a significant margin. See Bigger Stick above. The University Team brought 30 late war tanks to an annihilation battle with Ooarai's ragtag squadron of 8 vehicles.

Girls und Panzer / int_437e70f5	comment	What a Piece of Junk: The class's collection of tanks — the Panzer IV, a Panzer 38(t) a StuG III, a M3 Lee, and a Type 89 — are recovered in less-than-operational condition. Every vehicle they've found up to that point were literally "leftovers". All the good tanks were sold after the Sensha-do club was disbanded. The students' reactions when they open up the school old garage and find a rusty old Panzer IV. Miho, however, sees that the armor and moving parts are still intact, so it has a good chance of being restored. This was why the Chi-Nu wasn't discovered until episode 10, despite the fact it was left in the middle of the school parking lot. The girls of Team Rabbit explain that since they saw the tank sitting out in the open like that, they thought it must have been really worthless. In the Maginot spinoff, Eclaire's has a poor opinion of several of her teams' units. Given they are Renault FT-17 and R-35 light tanksnote a WW1 vintage design and its interwar inmediate sucessor, whose speed, armor and weaponry are comparable (and not favourably) with the Type 89's, it's justified.

The shot they fired is enough to push the tank back up onto the bridge while somehow failing to penetrate their rear armor at the same time.

Maho, however, orders her tank to fire on the enemy flag tank, winning the tournament, although it's implied that she may not have known what it was doing, and is ashamed of having done so once she finds out.

Girls und Panzer / int_47fea76b	comment	Butt-Monkey: The Rabbit (M3 Lee) and Duck (Type 89) Teams have a tendency to be taken out first in any match, sometimes through no fault of their own. Anzio fell victim to this treatment, as their entire match is skipped in the anime, except for its end, where they are shown to have been wrecked by Ōarai. No one talks about them for the rest of the series, save for a brief mention during the Episode 10.5 recap.note In the manga, it's Saunders that gets the ax, in exchange for showing the Ōarai-Anzio match in its entirety. Kuromorimine's unnamed Jagdpanther commander has her tracks wrecked twice in a row by the same tank — the second time minutes after repairing them in record time to return to battle. She complains that those tracks are HEAVY. In Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu, while she doesn't get lectured like she thought she would, she does get a Hetzer model for Christmas. Sodoko. It's clear no one takes her efforts to enforce the rules seriously, albeit because she goes against what virtually everyone else is doing. In Chapter 3 of Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu, while in the middle of trying to get everyone else to wear the School Swimsuit, she finds out that it has her nickname instead of her last name on it. In a later chapter she goes mad with power after being granted carte blanche authority to enforce the rules. The History Buffs get even with her rather creatively. The Type 89 is often treated like this despite not actually being a character. In the OVAs the Leopon Team performed a magic trick where they "transformed" the Type 89 into a Porche Tiger, only the Volleyball girls protested. In Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu, the Diet Club use the Type 89 as an impromptu sauna and again the Volleyball girls stand up for their tank.

Honorary member Yukari chooses Guderian (Heinz Guderian). Their real names, on the other hand, are based on the names of people who worked on the series. Caesar's real name is Takako Suziki (Takaaki Suzuki, Military researcher), Saemonza is Kiyomi Sugiyama (Kiyoshi Sugiyama, the producer), and so on. All members of the Freshman team are named after members of the Nadeshiko Japan all-women football team, who won the FIFA 2011 world championship. The members of the Volleyball Club share surnames with members of the national volleyball team that won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. Driver Kawanishi seems like the odd-duck out at first glance, but in her situation it's just a case of Alternate Character Reading — Kawanishi is just another reading of Kasai, the surname of the captain of that team (Kasai Masae). The Automobile Club are all named after Japanese race car drivers, specifically: Satoru Nakajima, Aguri Suzuki, Kazuyoshi Hoshino, and Keiichi Tsuchiya. The Nishizumi clan is likely a reference to Nishizumi Kojiro, a famous tank hero during the Sino-Japanese War. Akiyama may also be a reference to Akiyama Yoshifuru and Saneyuki. Saneyuki was responsible for devising the tactic that defeated the Russian fleet in the Russo-Japanese war. Yoshifuru was famous for being a strong advocate of using cavalry.

Girls und Panzer / int_60fb097	comment	Saunders' primary tactic. The maximum number of tanks allowed on a single team in the first round is ten, and Saunders has enough Shermans to fill at least three teams. In their match against Ōarai, it's a 10 vs 5 fight. Even worse is that they're using late war Shermans, meaning that, on paper at least, their tanks are superior to Ōarai's tanks in every way. On top of that, they're utilizing the Shermans strength in numbers. This mirrors the real-life ability of the USA to not only produce enough Shermans for its own armies, but also enough to outfit Britain, the Free French, and have a few to send to Russia via lend-lease, though in actual combat, US tankers tended to prefer to ambush enemy tanks rather than swamp them — which is exactly Kei's plan: to hide her flag tank, find Ōarai, and then hit them with everything. Could have worked too, had Arisa not had to ruin things...

Girls und Panzer / int_641cf81d	comment	Viewers Are Geniuses: Battles usually are split between episodes. Several times, unusual things happen in them that are later explained in a single line. That has created fan discussions from those who understandably didn't make the connection. Episode 3: Then-commander Saori orders her team to head towards the Council's team, then (in which is probably the most controversial scene of the series) they move their tank onto a Rope Bridge. See above under Hollywood Tactics for the results. It isn't until much later in the battle that we see the Council's tank coming from the other side of the bridge (in the manga, we see that the teams knew each other's initial positions). Episode 5: Kei withholds part of her force to fight without numerical superiority. In episode 6, she specifically states she did so because Sensha-do is not a real war. The point of the episode, story-wise, is to drive that idea into the protagonist's head. Episode 9: After episode 8's revelation, the student council is seen in a flashback trying to negotiate a way out of it. It seems very strange that they are doing it, because the show shows them in the MEXT office being told, in a rather paternalistic and matter-of-fact way, what is going to happen, and Anzu devising a Zany Scheme; and the chain of events that would have happened in the real world for such cases (don't open if you don't want spoilers)note MEXT tells the school it's going to close; Principal tells student council because they need-to-know; Council goes to MEXT to ask for the details because doing that is part of their job; MEXT politely agreed -even if it was under no obligation and did so out of courtesy; on-screen, Anzu devises her Zany Scheme; back off-screen, council tells Principal The Plan; Principal, having nothing to lose, agrees to go with it and reinstates the Sensha-do program. Yes, in other shows, this would have been at least five episodes. is never explained on-screen. Episode 9: Mako and Sodoko are spotted while spying on the Pravda positions, which remain unchanged hours afterwards. Cue fans complaining (with reason) that any competent commander like Katyusha would have rearranged them; a 4koma has Nonna saying that this was because Katyusha was asleep. Also, the Ōarai team manages to exit the building without being blown to bits. Cue Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy remarks. Later in the episode, Katyusha mentions that she left an opening on purpose, to lure them into a killzone and crush them utterly, which explains both things, if you know tactics.note If you leave a fake weak point, you make sure to leak it, and if you want to funnel your enemy into a killzone, you don't suppress their movement towards it. Episode 10 & 11: Careful counting reveals that Kuromorimine brought 18 tanks & tank destroyers to the field, out of a maximum of 20 allowable vehicles. The missing two tanks are the Panzer III that was scouting for the Maus hidden in the town. Episode 11 shows very clearly that Anzu has Maho in her sights, yet she doesn't fire. GuP fandom can be divided in two categories: those fans who remembered Miho's explanation of German optical rangefinding sights way back in episode 3, knew the Tiger I's length, and had the balistic data of Anzu's 7.5 cm PaK 39 gun handy, and those fans who were left wondering why she didn't try to end the battle (achieving her Goal in Life of ensuring Ōarai Academy's continued existence) right there.note To save you the math: a 6.5 meter tank covering six striches means Maho was well past 500 meters. At that range, Anzu's gun had only about a 50% chance of penetrating the Tiger's side armor, leaving only the tracks as a viable target. Tracking Maho would accomplish nothing, because all of her team would stop to protect her (so they would all reach Ōarai's defensive line at the same time), while tracking other tanks would make them lag behind the main force, diminishing their cohesion — Kuromorimine's main advantage. This is also shown instead of told when Anzu uses a straggler for more hetzing...

When their tank goes up a hill for a height advantage, Saunders' Sherman Firefly chases after them, which also saved Ōarai's flag tank from getting hit. Although they're taken out, they land a disabling blow on the Saunders flag tank. The Student Council does this to ensure Miho's plan of knocking out the Maus in Episode 12 works. While their Hetzer is able to pull away, the damage they sustained eventually causes their tank to sputter out.

The Nishizumi school in general takes this attitude, especially Miho's mother, and the Little Army manga indicates that the Nishizumi Family is recognized as very strict even among other tank combat families. Moto Love Love Sakusen Desu shows that Sensha-do players can be taken as PoWs with the abducted player being freed by an armed rescue from other players.

Naturally, their tanks are Shermans, lots of Shermans. A possible aversion is Saunders use of the Sherman Firefly, a strictly British variant of the Sherman tank that mounts a British gun and was incompatible with U.S. tank doctrine of the Second World War.note While the US was entirely aware that the 17-pounder was a great tank destroyer, they weren't fond of the idea of having a non-American produced gun mounted to their tanks. The 76mm M1A1-equipped Sherman serving as Saunders' flag tank was essentially the American take on the Firefly. It's most likely a case of the idea of the Firefly being a Sherman anyways taking priority in the eyes of the themed schools over their historical usage.

That being the sign of a good or bad loser depends on whether you like anchovies. completely turned around in the Anzio Battle OVA, where she personally congratulates Miho and invites the rest of Ōarai's Sensha-do team to a fancy Italian dinner party courtesy of Anzio.

Girls und Panzer / int_7d34f23a	comment	Reckless Gun Usage: Even if the rounds are supposed not to be war ammo but non-penetrating sports payloads, some of the girls are very reckless in their use. The St. Gloriana girls aim four guns at Miho's tank at point blank while she is poking her torso out of the turret hatch. Miho spends waaaaay too much time CEnote That's the Advanced Squad Leader wargame's parlance for Crew Exposed, that is, not buttomed up (shortened as BU) inside the tank even in the face of enemy fire. She is called out about it by Saori. She and Maho spend most of their one on one duel towards the end of the finals this way. Arisa tops it by firing her gun at Duck Team's tank — while Isobe is riding outside the tank. Bonus points for Isobe being on the tank's rear and so between the tank and the gun. Possible aversion by Isobe in the same scene, as she doesn't order firing upon the CE Arisa's M4 until both of them are inside their tanks. Arisa tops it again by ordering firing her tank's machinegun at the Duck team seconds later, with Isobe still exposed. She buttons up seconds before the first rounds started bouncing on the tank. Three episodes later, Katyusha tops it again, by ordering six tanks to fire machineguns against the exposed Miho.

The University Team's Morser Karl was fed a shell right down its barrel by ramping a Hetzer up into the air and then firing in mid flight.

Girls und Panzer / int_870bbf64	type	ShowDontTell
Girls und Panzer / int_870bbf64	comment	Show, Don't Tell: The prefered method for individual characterization. The limited amount of on-screen exposition is reserved for the tank data. In the first episode, the first time we see Miho is while she's halfway through her habitual morning routine with military precision before stopping and cheerfully exclaiming "That's right, I'm not at home anymore!". This alone tells tons about her family background before later episodes go into detail. Yukari cuddling the 38(t) tells us that she's a tank junkie even before we see her room full of tank memorabilia. We see Miho being surprised whenever anyone is kind towards her, even before her difficult family relationship is mentioned. No one on the show points it out, but Hana is repeatedly shown to have a massive appetite if one notices how large her servings always are compared to the other girls. This is subtly subjected to Serial Escalation until it reaches Running Gag levels. By the time of OVA 3, she's seen eating a whole basket in one go. Finally pointed out in the first chapter of Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu. Saori, concerned about her weight, resolves to watch her portions while eating with Hana, lest she inadvertently eat too much while matching her portions to Hana's. There are several panels of Saori and Hana eating side by side, such as Saori eating a small piece of bread while Hana eats a whole loaf. Notoriously averted, with Momo's lack of aim. This one is pointed out to us many, many times. Instead of telling us how unhinged Arisa is, we get to watch her voice actress steal the show, complete with her crewmembers rolling their eyes at her antics. Maho's Pet the Dog moment and Erika's attitude tells us a lot about Kuromorimine team politics. Instead of telling us that Italian WWII armor was bad, we don't see Anzio. In the Pravda fight, instead of a lengthy discussion about how to break the blockade by feinting towards the obvious weak spot, then turning towards the center of their line instead before Pravda can spring the obvious trap, we see them doing it. It overlaps with Unspoken Plan Guarantee. A brief scene in episode 4 where a shopkeeper rejoices when his shop (a hotel IRL) is trashed by a tank, since he can renovate it (obviously, even if not explicitly told, with the insurance money), answers many questions that would have taken 5-10 minutes of dry exposition instead. The detailed explanations about the functioning of the Sensha-do special ammo and judging devices are left for the recap episodes; in the series proper, we only see the shells splattering against the armor and the white flags rising. Plus, in a moment of Fridge Brilliance, a dramatic slow-mo shot of a 75mm round in transit makes sure to curve to show us a little device sticking out of the projectile's rear, which is our only in-show reference to the chips they supposedly carry. Instead of explaining at length how each individual team met, we see in episode 10 how each team spends the night before the final battle bonding, doing the things that made them be a team to begin with. There's no foreshadowing gloating from Maho about she having Out-Gambitted Miho's likely plan of forcing Kuromorimine into Urban Warfare. Instead, we get a brief image of her checking her map, a dry emotionless pointing out of the nearby city as Miho's likely destination, and the results. Of course, this is Maho. Kuromorimine's lineup of heavy tanks and formation-based tactics, plus how their formation dissolves when the Hetzer baits them, strongly implies that their past victories have been due to numbers, discipline and Bigger Sticks rather than brilliant tactics or individual skill. In an interesting case of showing through telling, the exact point where Ōarai's teams graduate from "skilled amateurs" to "top-notch veterans" is when, instead of relying upon Unspoken Plan Guarantee, we get to watch how they develop said plans, which then they then execute flawlessly... or as flawlessly as a plan can be done after it comes in contact with the enemy. Even then, we get to watch how they adapt the plan. Averted in the manga. The anime shows that in spite of Sodoko chiding Mako over her lateness and Mako calling her by her nickname against her wishes, the two get along, such as when Mako helps Sodoko with tank-related matters and Sodoko deletes all of Mako's latenesses and absences, not just the 200 she was promised. The manga provides a brief scene in which the other girls discuss Mako and Sodoko.

Girls und Panzer / int_89434320	comment	Protagonist-Centered Morality: Downplayed. Arisa from Saunders is treated as a cheater for intercepting Ōarai's raido tranmissions during a match while Yukari is not for infiltrating Saunders to spy on their battle plans even though neither action is technically against the rules. It's downplayed because the former's commander has a Badass Creed focused on fair play while the commander of the later comes from a tradition of Serious Business and even then she was surprised and had to be assured that it wasn't illegal. Also, Yukari tried to bluff her way out with a Kelly's Heroes reference, which Kei found hilarious. The BD booklets yield some light on the issue: Yukari did something they are explicitly permitted to do (recon before games), while Alisa used a glaring loophole ( rules forbid using "radio intercept airplanes", she used a radio intercept balloon) to do anyway something that they are explicitly forbidden to do.

Girls und Panzer / int_89a17726	comment	Spell My Name with an "S": Translators can't seem to agree what the official term for tank combat (senshado, literally "way/art of the tank") in the series is. The manga scanlations call it "Panzerkraft", though various translation groups for the anime call it "Operating Tanks", "Panzerfahren", "Sensha-do", "Tank-Fu" or "Tankwondo". All current official translations of the show, and the translation to be used in the DVD release (according to the Anime Network streams), use "Sensha-do", and thus that is the term used on this page. However, it should also be noted that a small English translation on a Japanese booklet discussing the plot uses "Panzerfahren" in the tournament's name. On a lesser note, it seems that tropers get the protagonists' school name wrong more often than not. It's Ōarai with a distinctive o-with-dash-over-it (itself properly known as macronnote Which in turn is not to be confused with macaron, macaroon, or Makron). It's not Orai, Owarainote That would be the generic name for Japanese comedy shows., or Oarai. You read it as 'Ow-Arai'. Definitely also not "Öarai" (that misuse of a German Umlaut for a long "O"-sound is particularly grating for German readers, since it stands for a completely different sound). Also, some fans have come to mispell Sensha-do as Sencha-do. Which would mean "Way of the Japanese Green tea".note Cue jokes about how that would be St. Gloriana's official spelling in 3, 2, 1...

Girls und Panzer / int_8f7f2c6a	type	National Stereotypes
Girls und Panzer / int_8f7f2c6a	comment	National Stereotypes: Each team faced represents the Japanese stereotype of the nation being represented. After all, each one isn't actually from that country, but Japanese schoolgirls aping the stereotypes of that country. St. Gloriana's tank team uses British tanks, are named after types of tea, wear red coats in battle, take their tea seriously, are extraordinarily polite and their Leit Motif is the British Grenadiers march. That's The Theme Park Version of The British Empire. The school fought in the opening match of Nationals, Saunders, is from Eagleland with their frequent peppering of English words, their leader's brash, friendly and open attitude, and very blonde hair. Naturally, their tanks are Shermans, lots of Shermans. A possible aversion is Saunders use of the Sherman Firefly, a strictly British variant of the Sherman tank that mounts a British gun and was incompatible with U.S. tank doctrine of the Second World War.note While the US was entirely aware that the 17-pounder was a great tank destroyer, they weren't fond of the idea of having a non-American produced gun mounted to their tanks. The 76mm M1A1-equipped Sherman serving as Saunders' flag tank was essentially the American take on the Firefly. It's most likely a case of the idea of the Firefly being a Sherman anyways taking priority in the eyes of the themed schools over their historical usage. Kuromorimine falls into the classic stereotype of Germans being efficient, cruel, and cold. In "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu", they are also shown as almost completely humorless, and, except for Koume, mistake Maho's inviting them to a Christmas party for punishing them for their mistakes. The crest of Italian-themed school Anzio is a pizza, and they insist in using the worthless L3/35 tankettes. Another possible aversion is Anzio's use of the Carro Armato P 26/40, which was not used by the Italians but by the Germans.note After Italy's defection to the Allies, which happened before the P 26/40 could see combat, the Germans captured all the P 26/40s and the factories that made them, and used them themselves. It's most likely done for the same reasons as the Sherman Firefly above. Katyusha from Pravda is very big on saying she will mete out ridiculous punishments for seemingly minor offenses, such as having their tanks taken out, and considers having Ōarai's team do weeding at their school if they surrender. Her team does the That Russian Squat Dance while waiting for Ōarai to surrender. As shown in the Movie, Chi-Ha-Tan Academy is almost excessively Japanese. Everyone has black hair, their entire playbook is basically "Charge forwards", and their captain, Nishi's mannerisms are exceeding formal.

This is justified in-universe because Miho agrees to go with it so The Team has more fun. It leads to an unfunny situation, so it's a double example of Idiot Ball.

Girls und Panzer / int_95ff52c7	comment	Guns Do Not Work That Way: Done mostly for Artistic License, due to the Shown Their Work nature of the show. The general level of realism is such that straight usage of several sub-tropes becomes noteworthy, even if usually only their aversions and/or subversions would be worth mentioning. Unlike real tank ammo, Every Bullet Is a Tracer and sparks brightly upon any glancing hit against armor, while all direct hits cause the same large explosions and small craters/property damage, be it from a 37mm, 75mm, or even 152mm gun. This is justified, because instead of military-grade ammo, all guns use ammo specially designed to be unable to penetrate even light armor. Since Sensha-do is not just a martial art but also a televised combat sport, it's likely that the rounds would also be tracers (which could create the sparks) and have a pyrotechnic payload that would create the smoke.

Girls und Panzer / int_9751f6eb	comment	Tanks, but No Tanks: One of the "tanks" in Miho's squadron is a StuG, which is technically an assault gun rather than a true tank. This is lampshaded by the StuG crew when they point out that it doesn't even have a turret. It's lampshaded again in episode 7, when Yukari mentions the StuG is more of an infantry support vehicle. The Student Council's Pz 38(t) is rebuilt into a Hetzer tank destroyer before the match against Kuromorimine. Around half of Kuromorimine's lineup for the final match consists of heavy tank destroyers. This bites them in the rear when the Student Council's Hetzer starts hetzing and Ōarai moves into the city. The girls call all armored vehicles "tanks" (sensha), but this is keeping with German doctrine, where all armored vehicles are called "panzer".

Since they would lose badly in a battle of attrition, Miho utilizes some unconventional tactics, such as having the Hetzer take potshots at their flank, as well as weaving in and out of their formation while the other Ōarai tanks maintain fire. It works well, as the Kuromorimine tanks become confused in the battle, allowing Ōarai to escape an attempted entrapment.

Since the start of the Tournament Arc, they become as bravenote No, making a fighting withdrawal when outnumbered six to one does not count as "fleeing scared" as the other teams, even Taking the Bullet for the flag tank twice. The second time was deliberate, to boot. In the final episode, they singlehandedly take down Kuromorimine's Elefant and Jagdtiger in close combat duels before being taken out. Shinobu starts as a very bad driver (look at how she meanders all over the place, even ramming her tank into trees!), but she also graduates to a full-blown Badass Driver as soon as the Tournament Arc starts. Saori not only takes — and passes — a difficult radio operator certification, she also moves from believing all tanks are the same to being able to identify model versions by sight.

Before highlighting this, make sure you've watched episode 7, or at least highlighted the spoiler under My Greatest Failure. During a flashback to the previous year's finals (Kuromorimine vs Pravda), one of Kuromorimine's tanks attempts to interpose itself between their flag tank (which Miho had abandoned to save the crew of another Kuromorimine tank that ended up in the river) and one of the Pravda tanks lining up for a shot. It couldn't get enough of its body in the way in time, leading to Pravda winning and Kuromorimine's winning streak coming to an end. Done deliberately twice (in the battles with Saunders and Pravda) by Rabbit Team. Duck and Mallard did it once each in those battles. Accidentally by Anteater in episode 10 against Kuromorimine, saving Team Anglerfish (the flag tank, so they also saved Ōarai by extension) from elimination.

Also, all participants have to use special Federation-made rounds (one assumes this includes the bullets for the machineguns as well) that, while not totally negating the chance for injury, are supposed to be nonlethal. Episode 10.5 further explains that in addition to a embedded chip with a transmitter in each round, there's a blackbox installed in the tanks that computes power, location and angle of the hit to determine the damage.

Girls und Panzer / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Mood Whiplash: The Saunders Sherman M4A1(76)W is chasing the Volleyball Team's Type-89, and the music is appropriately grim... and then the Ōarai tanks show up, Arisa has her Villainous Breakdown, and the tables are hilariously turned. Turtle Team's tank is busy destroying a larger and better equipped enemy force all by themselves, dancing among enemy tanks, dodging their every shot, effortlessly maneuvering to their sides so Anzu's precision fire can smash their weak points, with cheerful music at full blast. (Troperiffic enough for you?) Then Nonna blasts them so hard, their tank topples over in a way that would have killed them in real life. In Chapter 10 of the manga, Yukari monologues about how she is no longer lonely like she once was before. Then she chances upon Kikuyo meeting with Miho, who has arrived to tell Miho that if she loses against Pravda, she will be disinherited.

Cue fans complaining (with reason) that any competent commander like Katyusha would have rearranged them; a 4koma has Nonna saying that this was because Katyusha was asleep. Also, the Ōarai team manages to exit the building without being blown to bits. Cue Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy remarks. Later in the episode, Katyusha mentions that she left an opening on purpose, to lure them into a killzone and crush them utterly, which explains both things, if you know tactics.note If you leave a fake weak point, you make sure to leak it, and if you want to funnel your enemy into a killzone, you don't suppress their movement towards it.

Girls und Panzer / int_a796d2a6	comment	Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: "Momo you missed!" is a Running Gag. Team Anglerfish is attacked by the other four tanks in episode 3 but suffers only one hit. This is because the other crews are rookies so green they had trouble starting the tanks, let alone aiming the guns. The tank volleys of Pravda fail to hit any of the Ōarai teams as they stage their breakout from the church they were trapped in, despite being at very close range. This could be explained by the gunners themselves enjoying the bonfires till the last minute, thus robbing them of night vision. It is quite possible they couldn't see the Ōarai tanks well at all. note Or maybe Katyusha wanted them out in the open. See Viewers Are Geniuses below.

Girls und Panzer / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: While the series' world shares major historical events with the real world (in particular World War II), there are also many aspects where it noticeably diverges. Supplements included with each Blu-Ray release have so far revealed the following: Female-dominated chariot sports have been held as early as Ancient Greece and Rome, with women's smaller builds giving them distinct advantages. Note that the Japanese word "sensha" could also mean "chariot", which is why modern sensha-do considers female chariot racing as a spiritual ancestor. City-ships have existed since antiquity, with the earliest example being a ship dating to Caligula 's reign. It's not as far-fetched as one might think, with the existence of gigantic vessels like the Nemi ships designed as floating palaces. Modern sensha-do was founded as an all-female martial art during the 1920s, then later spread worldwide as a competitive sport. Before sensha-do, there was cross-country tankette racing, which traces its roots to Bertha Benz, wife of Karl, founder of Mercedes-Benz, and other noble ladies, who used said tankettes as personal cars. The races in turn inspired the Monte Carlo Tank Rally (think the real-world races, except with tanks).

Girls und Panzer / int_a91078ea	comment	Adaptational Jerkass: An odd example comes with Anchovy, since the manga was released before the anime showed her match with Oarai. In the anime, Anchovy's competitive but fairly good-spirited, and after losing, invites the Oarai crew to eat with her and the people who set up the match. In the manga, she starts off by accusing Miho of having a "weak" way of tankery, and at the end, accuses Miho of costing her old school the championship by abandoning the flag tank. Erika is a Jerkass in the anime, but mainly to the extent of being snide and condescending toward Miho (for example, in the finals, saying that Oarai must be weak if she became its commander). In the manga, between the semifinals and the finals, Erika flies over to Oarai, confronts Miho, and angrily accuses her of not just costing them the victory, but abandoning them in their time of crisis, and vaguely insinuates that Miho traded her vice-captaincy of her old school for captaincy of her of her new school. She's significantly more vicious and angry in that scene from the manga, and leaves Miho in tears at the end of it.

Girls und Panzer / int_a939d96a	comment	Adults Are Useless: We've seen none of the adults help in running the school, or the ship for that matter. This goes for all the other School Ships as well. It's downplayed in that adults not directly related to the schools, such as MEXT representatives, tournament judges, etc., seem to be doing their jobs. Ōarai's principal's role in the story (other than getting his Ferrari crushed by Ami's tank), is going along with Anzu's plans — offscreen. Ami's role as Sensha-do teacher consists of giving the teams a pep talk and sending them, wholly untrained, into their first battle and telling them to text her if they have further questions (justified in that she is not a full-time teacher, but a professional tanker on a part-time shift) before dumping all training into Momo's and Miho's hands and only making two appearances later — as a spectator during Ōarai-Saunders and as judge at the finals. OVA 3 shows that academy ships are mostly crewed by students.

Unfortunately, it does no damage to the Matilda's rear, which then responds with extreme prejudice. It was inevitable when one considers how weak the Type 89's gun is against the Matilda's comparatively thick rear armor.note The Type 89's gun can penetrate a maximum of 34mm of armor; the Matilda has 55mm at the rear. The shot also just detonated a disposable external fuel tank, limiting damage to superficial armor burns.

It's helpful in ensuring that Stone Wall tanks can compete with Glass Cannon and Fragile Speedster tanks. Possibly the best example is when the Maus appears. The B1 gamely yells "Don't get cocky because you're huge!" and fires both 75mm and 45mm howitzer at it. The Maus seems to pause for a moment, before firing once and flipping the B1 on it's back Bites our heroines in the ass twice during the match with Gloriana; first when the Volleyball team shoot a Matilda's external fuel tank (which produces a spectacular explosion and fire but doesn't damage the tank itself), and again when Miho and Darjeeling duke it out, and the Churchill VII's armor proves superior to the Panzer IV's. This is a fairly realistic scenario given the extremely thick armor of the Churchill and the Panzer IV ausf D's low-velocity 75mm gun having poor armor penetration.

Girls und Panzer / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: One team brought the machine-gun variant of the Polish 7TP to a tank fight. This bears repeating. Somebody brought a tank only armed with machine guns to a competition composed solely of tanks that are immune to machine gun fire. The only thing the tank could be used for — putting exposed crewmembers out of commission — is illegal. Anzio Academy deploys a squad of L3/35 Tankettes. This is lampshaded by Yukari in the manga, where she points out that their only real use would be for disabling attempts against their tracks or engines. This is exploited when the Ōarai girls find out that the tankettes were being used as affordable bait to lure them into a trap. One could say the same about the Type 89, whose gun is pretty much worthless against most other tanks unless Improbable Aiming Skills come into play. The show does, however, realistically depict the advantages of reconnaissance, so even a tank with no offensive value can contribute by scouting and spotting enemies.

Girls und Panzer / int_b59f6070	comment	Shiho, Miho's mother, who decides to disown Miho from the family name because she considers her an embarrassment. She is so cold that after one meeting with her, Miho's friends from the Little Army manga are scared to see her again. For extra Jerkass points, the manga reveals that Shiho sent one of the house servants to Miho and tell her that if Miho doesn't prove her ability and defeat Pravda, she'll be disinherited on the spot. Apparently, Miho's Confusion Fu didn't qualify as a proper victory and the threat was still brought over to the finals.

Most WWII tanks did not feature vertical stabilizers for the main gun (the M4 Medium tank was an exception), and although the British and Soviets tried teaching their men to fire on the move (though usually at infantry) by matching the motion of the tank over rough ground, both ended up retiring the doctrine until the introduction of better stabilized weapons during the Cold War.

Girls und Panzer / int_c2d978fe	comment	Car Fu: Arisa does threaten the whole Ōarai team with this. Tsuchiyanote Or was she Suzuki? uses the sheer weight of her tank to destroy a bridge... by doing a wheelie (which ends in 59 tons of the aforementioned iron tracks slamming onto it at the end) to delay enemy pursuit. Ami runs her Type 10 over the Principal's Ferrari F40. Twice. Episode 12 features more extensive use of the trope. The Zany Scheme to handle the Boss Battle relies on this rather than firepower. It succeeds spectacularly. When their Kelly's Heroes-inspired plan fails to work a second time, Team Rabbit is forced to fall back upon this. It's the Jackie Chan variety with a tank. He would be proud, as it's most likely a Shout-Out. Two much larger enemy tanks try to crush Duck Team between them. Erika, in a vain attempt to reinforce Maho, manages to drive her Tiger II over the the wreckage of three tanks and under a very low gap. Happens in OVA 7, between Hippo team and Cappricio's Semovente 75/18.

Girls und Panzer / int_c313d43a	comment	True Companions: The Ōarai girls form a large one, and each individual team is a smaller fellowship within the larger one. Outside of Anglerfish Team, they're bound together by common interests (history, volleyball etc). This is commented upon by their rivals. Some in a positive light, others, not so much. Miho sucks at Rousing Speeches, but the first time she manages to nail one is when they learn that, unless they win the tournament, the school will be closed and the girls will likely be split up, with these simple words: "I want to keep doing Sensha-do. With all of you". Cue all the team springing into action. Episode 10, a breather which centers on their preparations for the Final Battle, devotes little screen time to the new tanks and gear: what's shown instead is Miho's second Rousing Speech (a heartfelt declaration to the entire team of her intention to do her best for them), and how each individual team spends the night before the battle bonding. In Episode 11, Hippo team tries to attack the Maus to "avenge Mallard Team". Keep in mind that the first time they interacted was when Sodoko complained about their costumes, only for them to tell her how little they cared for what she thought, and it says about how the teams regard each other as comrades in spite of their individual differences.

The famous German tank march Panzerlied closes episode 11, over a shot of Kuromorimine's surviving tanks in formation, and accompanies The Reveal of the goddamned Maus.

Girls und Panzer / int_cd7ef676	comment	The Tiger(P) is downplayed. It might have the best gun and armor of all of Ōarai's tanks, but it's horribly prone to mechanical failures. In its first test run, it gets stuck in mud, overheats, and catches fire in quick succession. The Automobile Club's reaction says it all. In an actual match, it only starts breaking down once, despite all the high speed maneuvers it's put through, because the team running it, the Automotive Club, is that good when it comes to keeping vehicles running. Miho says that they're the only group who could keep such a finicky tank working.

Then they add an overwhelming numerical superiority on top of this. Then, they bring out the Maus.

Girls und Panzer / int_cef6a167	comment	Second Place Is for Losers: The Nishizumi Sensha-do school treats Sensha-do much like a real war, and believes in winning no matter what. In the manga, Anchovy of Anzio Academy has a similar view, responding to Miho's belief that comrades are more important than victory by saying that it's a commander's responsibility to lead the team to victory. In the Little Army manga, during the match between Miho and Maho's teams, Maho tells her teammates that a single loss in ten thousand matches is enough to get someone expelled from the Nishizumi school. Miho tries to defy it at a point in the series where she has come to think of Sensha-do as something fun and where winning isn't everything.note In the Pravda fight she had planned a very cautious battle, but decides to go with her team's enthusiasm and go for a more risky but not so boring frontal assault with predictable results. Key word being "tries"; that same episode she is told that second place really is for losers, as their school will be closed down if they don't WIN the tournament.

Girls und Panzer / int_d45c0b86	comment	Refuge in Audacity: Ōarai's main weapon. In particular, Turtle Team's use and abuse of their Hetzer is so prominent that every time that the German verb "hetzen"note (lit. "to agitate", fig. "to cause trouble", in normal German usage more often though "to chase down", as in "Hetzjagd" — which is probably also what the Nazis back then meant when they named the "Hetzer" tank)) is used as an English verb in a GuP TV Tropes article, it's safe to assume it means "here, Turtle Team played Refuge in Audacity straight, added to whatever else we're talking about".note Oh, and World of Tanks Memetic Mutation, too. The student council's Hetzer tank upgrade makes them look like a Kuromorimine tank. So, what do they do? They take out an actual Kuromorimine tank destroyer and calmly drive into Kuromorimine's formation. Kuromorimine's tank crews only realize that they've been infiltrated when the Hetzer parks right next to them. The reason for said infiltration was to throw the enemy team into disarray to allow the outnumbered Ōarai team to crash its way through the enemy lines. How they defeat the Maus. To elaborate, the Student Council rams their Hetzer into the Maus's tracks from the front, using their speed and elevation to immobilize and lift the heaviest tank in the world. Teams Rabbit and Leopon then draw the Maus's attention by firing at its flank, allowing Team Duck to get their Type 89 to climb over the Hetzer and onto the Maus to jam its now fully-turned-to-the-side turret with its weight. Then Team Anglerfish's Panzer IV strolls their way up a slope next to the temporarily immobilized Maus so Hana can take it out with one shot through the now exposed air vents at its rear. Miho warned them that it was crazy and they said they trusted her enough to go with it.

Girls und Panzer / int_d525f857	comment	Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Ōarai's ship looks to be the size of a modern aircraft carrier, with the bigger schools having ones the size of supercarriers. In some shots the cities on the decks appear to be of normal size, and Ōarai even has at least one river flowing on the deck, despite the fact even modern carriers probably couldn't fit one school building on the flight deck. This is justified in that the ships are not actually the carriers, just based off them. They're city ships specifically made to be massive, with Ōarai's, one of the smaller ones, being 7km long according to supplemental materials. It would take many many nuclear reactors to power Oarai, and conventional fuels would be logistics-prohibitive in terms of refueling. This is also justified. Some school ships are being shut down because they are not performing well enough to merit the cost of running them. This is why Ōarai's student council is so desparate to win the Nations. If they don't, Ōarai will be shut down.

Girls und Panzer / int_df514fe9	comment	Crew of One: Averted, because it takes five to crew a Panzer IV, all the time. Exactly like Real Life! Ami seems to be the only crew of her conspicuously modern Type 10. Given that the only thing the tank does is move and seeing as she climbed out of the Tank Commander's hatch (the driver can't access the turret compartment), she probably has at least a driver, who remained inside the tank. Downplayed with the Student Council's Panzer 38(t). It can't fight effectively with only three crew, but Momo's massive ego allows her to double as both gunner and loader, and Anzu does nothing to help, leaving Momo and driver Yuzu with the work... until Episode 9, when Anzu finally steps in and mans the gun against four Pravda tanks, and takes two of them out with point blank shots and Multitrack Drifting. Another aversion is in Little Army. Miho, Chihiro and Emi set out in a tank, and when Chihiro, the only one besides Miho who can drive, sprains her ankle after they get out, they're left stranded until Emi shows up. Several of Ōarai's tanks are understaffed. Anteater's Type 3 Chi-Nu should have two more members, while Leopon's Tiger(P) and Mallard's Char B1 bis need one more.

The nameless commander of one of Kuromorimine's Jagdpanthers tops them by repairing her tank destroyer's tracks in time to reach the battle twice after Turtle's Hetzer breaks them. Also twice. Maho herself implies that this is one of the tenets of the Nishizumi School.

Girls und Panzer / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Saki of Rabbit Team finally speaks to point out a weak spot in an enemy tank. Note that this is the girl who hasn't said a word in 12 episodes. Her team lampshades it. After the match ends, Sodoko grudgingly wipes Mako's record clean. Mako Reizei, resident stoic throws her hands up in the air and whoops before glomping Sodoko. The look on Sodoko's face as she's glomped is hilarious. Episode 6, when Mako hears about her grandmother being hospitalized, she drops her cell phone while trying to say that the call was nothing important, and then she, the girl who considers quitting The Team over having to get up early in the morning, considers swimming an impossible distance in the hopes of getting to the hospital as soon as possible. Miho summoning the nerve to ask Shiho about whether it was necessary for Maho to shoot the German flag tank when it went to rescue one of her own, is noted as being this in-universe. Lampshaded in Little Army, when Emi saying that she hates Maho, despite never having met her, angers Miho enough for them to get into a serious fight and have a falling out. Sakuyo comments that doing this is quite unlike Miho.. In episode 6, Kei drops her normal bombastic tone of voice to give Arisa a rather subdued "We're going to go over what happened here today." Arisa's facial expression and the comforting pat on the shoulder she receives from Naomi both indicate they know what will happen to Arisa next. In Chapter 10 of the manga: In "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu", the commanders of Kuromorimine tanks Maho invited to her holiday party panic when they notice her acting unusually friendly toward them. It turns out that Maho merely wants to give them a holiday party, like the kind she enjoyed with Miho.

Since they were outnumbered four-to-one, after the Student Council tank takes the hits intended for them, the Anglerfish girls knock out a unit as they flee, then lures others into a narrow area, knocks out another one, then flees, only to return as another unit comes out from the narrow street, knocks that one out, then attempts to take out the Churchill as well. Despite getting two solid hits in, the Churchill was able to absorb both, and knocks out Team Anglerfish's tank after yet another daring maneuver. Pravda, in keeping with its Russian/Soviet theme, willingly sacrifices several tanks to successfully draw Ōarai into an ambush. Kuromorimine utilizes this with a retreating Panzer III leading Ōarai to a Maus.

Girls und Panzer / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	Jerkass: The Absurdly Powerful Student Council start off pressuring Miho to take Sensha-do and call her into their office to demand an explanation after she chooses another elective. The school is in danger of being shut down if they didn't win the Sensha-do tournament. Erika, Maho's lieutenant, is nasty and generally disparaging whenever Miho is the topic of conversation. She's nicer after the final match ends in a win for Ōarai, swearing with a smile on her face that next time, Kuromorimine will win. Shiho, Miho's mother, who decides to disown Miho from the family name because she considers her an embarrassment. She is so cold that after one meeting with her, Miho's friends from the Little Army manga are scared to see her again. For extra Jerkass points, the manga reveals that Shiho sent one of the house servants to Miho and tell her that if Miho doesn't prove her ability and defeat Pravda, she'll be disinherited on the spot. Apparently, Miho's Confusion Fu didn't qualify as a proper victory and the threat was still brought over to the finals. Katyusha insists everybody is beneath her and only visits the Ōarai team to gloat in front of them. She even taunts Miho about her loss to their team last year, where Miho abandoned the flag tank, allowing Katyusha to shoot it, in order to save one of her tank crews from drowning. On the other hand, it's debatable how much Katyusha knew about the spoilered development — see the WMG page. After the match, she bears no hard feelings and roots for Ōarai to win. Anchovy of Anzio has Katyusha's attitude on winning, and also insults Miho's decision in the last tournament (first alluding to it, then outright saying she caused her team's defeat in almost as many words) without being a Graceful Loser. However, the Anzio OVA completely averts this by having her act like a cross between Kei and Darjeeling.

It also shows the tanks they drive and some trivia about them, where pausing will also give you time to read it, as well as to look at the tanks. The latter gives this treatment to the members of the various schools that Ōarai battles and adds some random trivia on them as well, like their favorite flowers or hobbies, some of which are pretty surprising — like Katyusha's favorite activity being hanging from a horizontal bar (one assumes to get taller) and Nonna... keeping a "Katyusha diary".

Yuri, after learning that her daughter is doing Sensha-do due to no longer being satisfied with the family flower arranging, something Yuri disapproves of, passes out. Upon coming to, Yuri tries to find out if something is bothering Hana, tries to convince her that her flower arranging is good, and after Hana reiterates her desire to do Sensha-do, tells her never to come home again. Hana, however, remains convinced that her mother will come around, and Yuri does, after seeing that Hana's flower arranging has improved and taking on its own style as a result of doing Sensha-do. Miho's mother is Type 3 through her treatment of Miho. She belittles Miho's approach to Sensha-do, calling her "foolish" to ask whether Maho needed to fire on a tank from the opposing team that was trying to save one from her team even when she was winning, and berates Miho for later saving a tank from her team, even though her team lost, seemingly as a result of that decision. She even goes so far as to plan to cast Miho out of the family due to not liking her approach to Sensha-do, although, in the end, she has a moment in which she can be interpreted as accepting Miho's way of Sensha-do. It's somewhat telling that Maho, Shiho's eldest daughter and heiress, as well as the person who seems spared from most of her mistreatment, only decides to live up to being heiress so that Miho will not have to.

The manga scanlations call it "Panzerkraft", though various translation groups for the anime call it "Operating Tanks", "Panzerfahren", "Sensha-do", "Tank-Fu" or "Tankwondo". All current official translations of the show, and the translation to be used in the DVD release (according to the Anime Network streams), use "Sensha-do", and thus that is the term used on this page. However, it should also be noted that a small English translation on a Japanese booklet discussing the plot uses "Panzerfahren" in the tournament's name.

Girls und Panzer / int_f9f2c33	comment	In the onscreen aftermath of Maho's first offscreen battle, there's a Japanese version of the Renault FT-17 note a WWI-vintage tank; one so incredibly obsolete that even the much maligned Type 89 outclasses it, and which has no legitimate reason to be in a tournament battle, so we know it was drawn there for a different reason in the exact center of the screen, surrounded by knocked out tanks. The model name of that FT version? KO.

Another one with the whole of Ōarai's team in episode 7. OVA 3 ends with one. It also reveals that the student council has their own private bath. Presumably something else Anzu "found in the budget"...

Girls und Panzer / int_fd94c4ac	type	Theme Naming
Girls und Panzer / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: Family Theme Naming The main character is named Miho, her big sister is named Maho, and their mother is named Shiho. In this case, the last part of their given names could be interpreted as 'hou' or cannon, which fits the whole tank theme of this show and the family dojo. Edible Theme Naming: The girls of St. Gloriana are named after various types of tea. The Student Council are named after fruits: Anzu (apricot), Momo (Peach) and Yuzu (name for a type of citrus fruit). Anzio's team members are named after food stuffs, such as Anchovy and Pepperoni. Named After Somebody Famous: The History Club girls are, obviously, named after historical figures, namely: Erwin (Erwin Rommel), Saemonza (Oda Nagamasa), Caesar (Julius Caesar), and Oryou (Narasaki Ryou). Honorary member Yukari chooses Guderian (Heinz Guderian). Their real names, on the other hand, are based on the names of people who worked on the series. Caesar's real name is Takako Suziki (Takaaki Suzuki, Military researcher), Saemonza is Kiyomi Sugiyama (Kiyoshi Sugiyama, the producer), and so on. All members of the Freshman team are named after members of the Nadeshiko Japan all-women football team, who won the FIFA 2011 world championship. The members of the Volleyball Club share surnames with members of the national volleyball team that won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. Driver Kawanishi seems like the odd-duck out at first glance, but in her situation it's just a case of Alternate Character Reading — Kawanishi is just another reading of Kasai, the surname of the captain of that team (Kasai Masae). The Automobile Club are all named after Japanese race car drivers, specifically: Satoru Nakajima, Aguri Suzuki, Kazuyoshi Hoshino, and Keiichi Tsuchiya. The Nishizumi clan is likely a reference to Nishizumi Kojiro, a famous tank hero during the Sino-Japanese War. Akiyama may also be a reference to Akiyama Yoshifuru and Saneyuki. Saneyuki was responsible for devising the tactic that defeated the Russian fleet in the Russo-Japanese war. Yoshifuru was famous for being a strong advocate of using cavalry. As to the Morals Committee's nicknames: Sodoko and Gomoyo are derived from Sodom and Gomorrah respectively. Pazomi refers to Italian Director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who directed the movie Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom in 1975. Although it is set during WWII, the movie is not a war movie, and it is not for the faint of heart. Team Anteater are all named after animals: Nekota (cat), Momogya (Flying Squirrel), and Piyo (Chick). It's somewhat subtle, but all three of the named Saunders girls have first names which work both in American English and Japanese: Kay/Kei, Alyssa/Arisa, and Naomi.

Girls und Panzer / int_fda454ec	type	Every Bullet is a Tracer
Girls und Panzer / int_fda454ec	comment	Unlike real tank ammo, Every Bullet Is a Tracer and sparks brightly upon any glancing hit against armor, while all direct hits cause the same large explosions and small craters/property damage, be it from a 37mm, 75mm, or even 152mm gun. This is justified, because instead of military-grade ammo, all guns use ammo specially designed to be unable to penetrate even light armor. Since Sensha-do is not just a martial art but also a televised combat sport, it's likely that the rounds would also be tracers (which could create the sparks) and have a pyrotechnic payload that would create the smoke.
