Synopsis
See also: List of Girls und Panzer characters

Setting

The story takes place where historical World War II–era tanks are maintained for sport-style warfare competitions and large carrier ships, known as Academy Ships, support mobile sea communities. Of the many activities high school students can participate in, one of the most popular is "sensha-dō" (戦車道, lit. "the way of the tank"),[FN 1] the art of operating tanks, which is considered a traditional martial art.

Plot

Miho Nishizumi, a girl from a prestigious family of sensha-dō practitioners who became traumatized by a past event, transfers to Ōarai Girls High School to get away from sensha-dō, as she presumed the school was no longer practicing the sport. However, shortly after Miho begins her new school life and makes some new friends, the student council announces the revival of sensha-dō at Ōarai and coerces Miho, the only student with prior experience, to join. While reluctant to join at first, having practically been forced, Miho soon warms up to sensha-dō and they enter a national championship, facing off against various other schools, in a competition that becomes a serious matter after Miho and the others learn that their school will be closed should they not win.[5][12]

The spin-off manga, Girls und Panzer: Little Army, follows Miho in her elementary school days as she participates in sensha-dō alongside her friends Emi, Hitomi, and Chihiro.

Video games

A video game based on the series, titled Girls und Panzer: Senshadō, Kiwamemasu! (ガールズ＆パンツァー 戦車道、極めます！), was developed by Bandai Namco Games and released for the PlayStation Vita in Japan on June 26, 2014.[41] The game is a third-person tank shooter, which features a game mechanic where the player is able to switch between different tanks on the battlefield in real-time, in order to control multiple tanks on the same team.[42] The player is able to control the tank via both third-person and scoped views during combat.[43] The game features a story mode, in addition to a "Battle Royale" mode where the player can form teams as they desire.[44]

Another video game based on the series and film, titled Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match (ガールズ&パンツァー ドリームタンクマッチ), was developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. It was released on February 22, 2018 in Japan and on February 27, 2018 in Southeast Asia with English text.[45][46] An enhanced version of the game titled Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match DX (ガールズ&パンツァー ドリームタンクマッチDX) was released for the Nintendo Switch in Japan on February 21, 2019.[47] This new version includes content from part one of Das Finale;[48] the new content was also made available for the PS4 version as paid DLC.[49]

Mobile game

A mobile game based on the series, titled Girls und Panzer: Senshadō Daisakusen! (ガールズ＆パンツァー 戦車道大作戦！), was developed by Showgate for the Android and IOS phones that was launched in Japan on November 11, 2015. It is a hexagonal strategy-based game that includes a gacha system.

A second game, titled Girls und Panzer: Atsumare! Min'na no Sensha-dō (ガールズ＆パンツァーあつまれ！みんなの戦車道！！) developed by KLab was launched in Japan on August 3, 2018 for the Android and IOS phones. The game servers were taken down on the 27th of November 2019, despite the game still being acquirable via download.[50]

Collaboration projects

A collaborative project between the Girls und Panzer animation team and Belarusian computer game developer Wargaming was unveiled in 2013, aiming to promote the online multiplayer video game World of Tanks in Japan.[51][52][53] Part of the collaboration involved the promotion of the game in Japan in the form of advertising and local events, as Wargaming focused to penetrate the Japanese market.

The South-East Asian game server for World of Tanks featured a tutorial documentation in the form of manga, titled Hajimete no Senshado - WoT for Beginners (はじめての戦車道～ WoT for Beginners). Drawn by Midori Hagi,[54] it features Girls und Panzer characters as they learned how to play the game.[55] The manga game tutorial is available in English, Thai, Traditional Chinese,[56] and Japanese; it depicts the five members of Ōarai Girls High's Anglerfish sensha-dō team as they learn how to play World of Tanks, intending to explain the game's basics to new players in an entertaining and interesting manner. The tutorial manga also had a side effect of introducing Girls und Panzer to many World of Tanks players, increasing its popularity amongst the players in the Asian region.

Girls und Panzer-themed mods for the game were announced at the 2013 Tokyo Game Show; these game mods were distributed as free downloads for players in the South-East Asian server, mainly targeting the Japanese-speaking community.[57] Initially, there were six voice packs released, featuring the voices of all five members of the Anglerfish team, as well as a special voice pack for Nonna, the vice captain of Pravda's sensha-dō team; each of the five crew members of the Anglerfish team voices the five different crew positions in World of Tanks: Commander, Gunner, Loader, Radio Operator, and Driver. The voice packs replaces the standard crew voices with the Girls und Panzer character voices, when tank commands such as "Target acquired!" or "Reloading!" sound in the game. The voice packs, however, are only available in Japanese. Afterwards, a garage mod was released, where players could change the regular game garage to the sensha-dō garage square in Ōarai Girls High's Academy Ship. Another mod that was released allowed players to change the skins of a few select tanks in the game to the paint jobs of the tanks in the Girls und Panzer anime. Tanks include the Panzer IV H of Ōarai Girls High, the Churchill VII of St. Gloriana Girls Academy and the Jagdtiger of Kuromorimine Girls High. The last mod that was made available changed the look of destroyed tanks for certain vehicles; instead of a smoking wreck of metal that is shown when a tank is destroyed, the tank is shown in a moderate condition, with a white flag on top, similar to when tanks are knocked out in Girls und Panzer, to indicate that the tank is destroyed.[58]

These mods were later made available together in a mod pack that is free to download on the South-East Asian server of World of Tanks.[59] On 31 January 2016, the World of Tanks South-East Asian server released an updated version of the Girls und Panzer-themed mod pack, in celebration of the release of Girls und Panzer der Film. It features the voices of the Anglerfish sensha-dō team and replaces the standard game garage with the Ōarai Girls High School Tank Garage. It also features a lot of new tank skins, such as the Panzer IV D of Ōarai Girls High, before it was converted into the Ausführung H model, and the T95, M24 Chaffee, and the M26 Pershing of the university's sensha-dō team, in addition to all the previous ones released in earlier mods.[60]

Reception

The initial television airing of the first 10 episodes within 2012 received favourable television ratings and strong viewership.[61] The relatively early airing timeslot of the show allowed the series to gain better exposure to more viewers. Blu-ray sales of the first anime volume in Japan reached third place on the Oricon charts in mid-February 2013,[62] whilst sales of the second anime volume Blu-ray reached second place in late February with 24,733 copies sold within the first week of release.[63] The third Blu-ray volume met with similar success during March, with 23,528 copies sold within the first week, peaking at third place behind Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the Movie 2nd A's.[64] The first week sales of the 4th Blu-ray volume reached second place at 28,410 units, behind Evangelion: 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo, which had its debut Blu-ray release the same week.[65] The first week sales of both the 5th and 6th Blu-ray volumes placed first in the weekly Oricon chart, having reached 33,450 units[66] and 32,385 units[67] respectively. The first week sales of the Girls und Panzer: This is the Real Anzio Battle! OVA Blu-ray placed third in the weekly Oricon chart, having reached 35,909 units.[68]

Plastic models of tanks based on those within the anime have topped sales charts in Japan.[69]

In celebration of the popularity of the anime series and to promote local tourism, on 24 March 2013 the town of Ōarai in Ibaraki Prefecture held an event themed along the Girls und Panzer anime, as part of its yearly spring festival. The event featured live tank demonstrations and the sale of anime-themed merchandise.[70][71]

An opinion piece published on 22 January 2013 in the China National Defense Newspaper, a subsidiary of the state-owned People's Liberation Army Daily, criticized the anime for promoting "militarist sentiments behind the guise of cute characters."[72]

Famitsu gave the video game adaptation Girls und Panzer: Senshadō, Kiwamemasu! a review score of 23/40.[73] PlayStation LifeStyle gave the game 8/10, highly praising the tank battles for their simplicity and the story for its charm.[74] The game sold 31,526 physical retail copies within the first week of release in Japan.[75]

Footnotes
  1. The translation of "sensha-dō" differs depending on the source. Official print media published in Japan uses the German compound word "Panzerfahren",[11] whilst the official English dub by Sentai Filmworks uses the term "tankery".
gollark: Palaiologos is clearly trying to deflect from the real point here, which is that they secretly use rust for all things.
gollark: As you're my alt, and that means you're also me, and I like Rust and dislike C, you obviously must like rust and dislike C, but be too ashamed to admit it.
gollark: Apparently yes.
gollark: Palaiologos is my alt, yes. I'm glad we could finally agree on this.
