As an anime about a beautiful girl who manipulates a tank, it has the persuasive power to draw military fans into the appeal of this work, and its exquisite style, which even has a pastoral feel, is said to be a new frontier in Japanese animation.

Girls Und Panzer | Recommendations

“Girls Und Panzer” is an anime work that combines the military element of tanks with the completely unlikeable element of high school girls, resulting in a very mild, approachable and interesting work. Both the tanks and the characters stand out, and there are many comedy elements that have nothing to do with the storyline, so the work is full of charm that keeps the viewer interested until the very end and makes them want to watch the whole episode at once.
