''Girls und Panzer'' is an {{anime}} about school girls and tanks, in a world where operating tanks is an extracurricular school activity. Already nicknamed "''WorldOfTanks'', the Anime."

" The story follows Miho Nishizumi, a young girl who is also part of a very well known tank combat family. However, due to a traumatic incident in the past, she is reluctant to operate tanks. Unfortunately for her, due to this year's tank combat world championship taking place in Japan, Miho is drafted in her school's recently resurrected tank combat club.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Miho had a rather traumatic incident in the past which involved her tank falling off a cliff and into the ocean.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: The first episode basically teaches viewers that you have to give in to the orders of a tyrannical student council president, regardless of whether you want to or not.


Added DiffLines:

* ShownTheirWork: As the title suggests, the tanks used are all based on models deployed in World War II.
** Episode 1 shows us: The Churchill, Matilda II, Panzer III, M2 Light Tank, M3 Lee, and [=StuG=].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Translators can't seem to agree what the official term for tank combat in the series is. The manga states that it is called "Panzerkraft", though various translation groups for the anime call it "Panzerfahren", "Tankery", or "[[IncrediblyLamePun Tankwando]]".


Added DiffLines:

* WhatAPieceOfJunk: The students' reactions when they open up the school old garage and find a rusty old Panzer III. Miho, however, sees that the armor and moving parts are still intact, so it has a good chance of being restored.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Due to traumatic memories, Miho is not comfortable operating tanks, so she specifically moves to a school that doesn't have a tank club. However, the student council decides on that year to resurrect the club and force her into it.

In RealLife, certain Japanese martial arts are considered highly compatible with [[YamatoNadeshiko traditional womanly ideals]], including archery and ''naginatajutsu''. In this show, one of those martial arts is [[TankGoodness tank combat]].

Speculation. The heroine was chosen because she\'s the only one with even a slight bit of experience with tanks so that the class would have a better chance of succeeding, and not just to be mean.


* {{Jerkass}}: You would not ''believe'' how bad the student council is in the first episode. [[spoiler: Based off her dream/nightmare, the heroine's mother likely died in a tank accident, and so she chose a school specifically to avoid having anything to do with tanks. So when she doesn't put tank-driving down as her extra-curricular choice, the council blackmails her, threatening to expell her and her two new friends for no reason (it was quite allowed for her to choose another choice) unless she takes up the sport that killed her mother.]]'
