Not very many anime series like this comes forth a lot. But with this one, there is mayhem, fun, tanks, blazing guns, and camaraderie unlike any other. Basically, it is about a young girl named Miho. Who transfers from her original High school Black Forest Peak to come to Oorai High school where she heard that they do not have Panzerfaren in its curriculum. Meaning it is a marital art only for girls to partake in tank warfare to hone their skills as a woman, whether being a housewife, or career minded.
Seeing as her past as a tank girl are not happy memories, she is content to attend a school where tanks are not part of the program. At least, not until the school council show up to announce their intentions to revive the lost art. But what makes it so much harder for Miho is, is that the council heard of her transfer from Black Forest so they intimidate for her to join up as soon as possible.
Reluctantly, and with a great deal of pressure mounting up around her, she agrees along with some very close class mates who help her along the way. Now armed with a Panzer, Miho, and her fellow combatants practise as much as they can to rev up the reputation they once had in the school as the most feared tank busters on the eastern seaboard.
Along with Miho, are Hanna, Yukari, Saori, and Mako. Who without their skills and determination to win, that their school would have closed down because of budget cuts in the faculty. In fact, their entire town is built on top of a heavy carrier which floats from port to port as part of their daily lives.
But in the mix, are other such carriers who also play Panzerfaren, including the rambunctious Kei from Saunders Academy, Darjeeling from St. Gloriana Academy, Katyusha from Pravda, and Maho Nishizumi from Black Forest Peak. Maho being the older sister to Miho, must face off with each other to settle a score because of a bad loss in Miho's early career before her transfer.
All in all, this is a great series, with lots of fun, explosive battles, witty humour from the girls in any tank, and just a plain old moral that anyone can enjoy themselves in such difficult situations. These panzerfaren girls are driven, ready, and willing to take it the extreme when it comes to keeping their school safe from money hungry mongrels. Highly recommended to those over 15. Suggestive language in a few episodes.
score 10/10
