The film series follows the students of Ōarai Girls' Academy helping Momo Kawashima with her university entrance by winning the Winter Continuous Track Cup. Produced by Actas and distributed by Showgate, the film series is directed by Tsutomu Mizushima from a script written by Reiko Yoshida and features an ensemble cast from previous installments of the franchise. Check it out.Girls und Panzer das Finale ( Japanese: ガールズ&パンツァー 最終章, Hepburn: Gāruzu ando Pantsā Sai Shūshō), alternatively Girls und Panzer: The Final Chapter, is a six-part Japanese animated film series and a sequel to Girls und Panzer (2012) and Girls und Panzer der Film (2015). Attention to detail and production values save this from just being an adorable little show about cute girls in tanks.
A status they hold to this day, despite wearing the uniform and serving under the flag of an army of darkness.
They are recognized as pioneers and innovators in armored warfare.
Names of various legends of tank warfare- Rommel, Guderian, and Wittmann- are mentioned. I want to mention this however- despite the Panzer being given top billing and center stage in this show, NO attempts are made to glorify Nazi Germany or war itself. Neither the Japanese or English voice cast left much of an impression, as there isn't much dialogue to shine with, so you can go either way when it comes to Sub or Dub. It's not really a big deal, because this was not going to be a character driven show. I don't recall many of the characters names, despite decent attempts to give them depth. Along the way they grow as a team, as people, and learn the value of friendship. It's not a new one, a new student with a past must lead a band of oddballs and misfits to glory in a tankery tournament to save the school. I guess in all this fuss over the accuracy of the tanks and songs I forgot about the plot. I particularly enjoyed "Battle Hymn of the Republic" for the American tanks and "Panzerlied" for the German ones. Masterful work! Added into this mix is a wonderful soundtrack that sounds like something Elmer Bernstein would have written along with ballads from other nations. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were watching a WW2 film with all the quality sound editing and mixing going on. While most are CG produced, it fits fairly seamlessly with the hand drawn animation of the characters, producing some wonderful combat scenes with the most impressive sound effects I've heard in quite some time from an Anime. The descriptions and designs of these vehicles are true to history. When I say real tanks, I mean they really went out of their way to add as much realism as possible. Despite several big explosions and high impact collisions, there is nary a spot of blood shed by the cast- although they at times appear to suffer mild injuries, broken eye glasses, and a lot of soot covering fires. Tanks fire live rounds that can take out other tanks and buildings, but never seem to harm actual people. Think of it as a war game, but not war itself. The bonus here is that their sport is "tankery". I have to admit I was skeptical going into this series as it involves the usual bunch of high school girls who look like they're 8 years old forming up a band of misfits into a club where they compete with a rogue's gallery of opposing schools. An adorable original production from Actas, who are best known for, well, "Girls & Panzer". However, I am a big Second World War buff. It's not a genre I'm particularly fond of because it's just too cutesy, sickly sweet, and all rather pointless. The Moe genre is something that has really gotten about every treatment under the sun. The series is produced using a blend of traditional animation techniques and 3D rendered models of the armored vehicles.
