There is a story, but it ultimately boils down to a shell on which to structure tank fight after tank fight. I never thought this genre could produce something so subversive, and I never thought it could produce something so unabashedly fun. They are able tank fighters and tacticians who happen to be cute girls, with little to no fanservice and plenty of skill to back up their image. And for a show about вЂњcute girls doing cute things,вЂќ not only is the вЂњcute thingвЂќ far out of left field, but the вЂњcute girlsвЂќ themselves are rarely important as such. In a world where the grit, muscle, and tactical skill of tank fighting is more feminine than ikebana, where the safety concerns around firing tank shells at one another can be half dismissed by hand-wavy armor and shell technology and half dismissed because no one cares, itвЂ™s not long into the first few practice skirmishes we see that the image of high school tank fighting as an elective seems natural, to the point where we might even be jealous our school didnвЂ™t have their own Panzer armada. Girls und Panzer goes beyond a story of high school girls driving tanks it sets up tanks and high school girls as inseparable. I never thought the вЂњcute girls doing cute thingsвЂќ genre could be so subversive.
