History WMG / GirlsUndPanzer

* During the main TV series, Erika is an abrasive and mean character who commands a Tiger II and shouts at her own crew, only getting hints of being nice towards the end. While she becomies somewhat more cooperative during the movie, it's likely more for Maho's sake than Miho's. However, in Das Finale, she gets a fair bit of character development having succeeded Maho as Kuromorimine and her insecurities start showing until the match against Pravda in which she takes the as yet unprecedented action of changing command tank (Pzkpfw III), and celebrating her victory joyfully (with none of the previously shown meanspiritedness). From her appearances in Das Finale 3 & 4, she's sincere, wears her heart on her sleeve, and focused, but is more than willing to get her hands dirty (she conducts personal reconaissance on foot and takes the lead in any important action) and change plans if they need changing. The preference of using the Panzer III as a command tank is notable, since it's not very suitable for the role being fragile and poorly armed in comparison to Kuromorimine's other available options. But it's a favourite among drivers so inclined (more 'fun' than Tiger I, certainly). Between this and her state of mind while in each vehicle, and it being obvious she prefers the Panzer III over either Tiger I or II (or even Panther), it's not unlikely that she holds this preference for more than just her tactics.

* Now to see if she interacts with the Leopon girls at all(!)

! St. Gloriana's as the final opponent will various new tanks against the Ooarai team.

! Maho was crewing the tank that fell into the water, and she was saved by Miho.
She acts cold towards Miho because she feels guilty over causing Miho to throw the match.
* Jossed. It was a different team entirely.

* It would be a fitting BookEnd to the series as a whole, as St. Gloriana's was the first team that Ooarai was seen fighting and the only major team they've yet to score a win against. In addition, it could also allow us an opportunity to see various other British tanks that have yet to appear, like the A39 Tortoise, Cromwell and the Comet.

At least one station was ready to broadcast on January 9th, but because the show will be renewed, they had to completely redo Episodes 11 and 12 to allow a second season. Girls Und Panzer is popular enough to create a second season. As the main page states, the show was a runaway (and unexpected) hit. The first two BDs sold about 30,000 copies each. A typical show does more like 4,000. It'd be odd if the production team ''weren't'' at least contemplating a sequel/second season. Indeed, according to Website/TheOtherWiki, the Japanese newspaper ''Joyo Shimbun'' reported on December 24th, 2012, that a sequel is tentatively planned.

*** This tactic is shown by the BC Freedom academy who use a WW1 vintage Renault tank as a flag tank, leaving their state-of-the-art tanks free to fight the battle.

* Not to mention that while other school carriers were mostly modelled after World War II aircraft carriers and other warships, Saunders and Pravda carriers were instead modelled after post-war carriers (Nimitz-class for Saunders and Kiev-class for Pravda).

* The Super-Carrier High Schools - Given how it's obvious Japan is far more militarized than in the real life timeline, for simply having what amount to wargames as a high-school course, the super-carriers are possibly an attempt to give the high-schools the opportunity to maneuver if the mainland of Japan is attacked. Either a far more aggressive bombing campaign by the Allies in WWII or threat of nuclear attack in the Cold War/post-Cold War Era ([[GloriousMotherRussia Russia]], [[RedChina China]], [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets or North Korea]] - your pick on which was most likely). It may also serve as a convenient landing-pad for the foreign exchange students of the [[NationalStereotypes foreign schools]] (this assumes the teams are sponsored by the nation they're stereotyping, and have the majority of their students from those countries, rather than Japanese fanatically role-playing them).

The Delinquents simply never left the ship as their protest against the closing. Since it would take a while to clear them out, dismantling could not start right away, thus giving the ''sensha-do'' team their chance. They may have also figured the school was saved by their protest of never leaving the ship, and not the tank team.

* The most obvious sign of budget corruption in Oarai is the fact that the principal's car (the one that Chouno runs over) is a Ferrari F40. How could the principal of a school that almost shut down has a Ferrari that was only made 1,315 units?

** Confirmed. [[DiscussedTrope It's openly stated]] that they spent all night devising, and even ''named'' their plan after the movie - but taken UpToEleven, as they kill that way an '''Elefant''' [[note]]heavy tank destroyer based on the Tiger(P) chassis[[/note]] and a '''Jagdtiger''' [[note]]''even'' heavier TD based on the chassis of the Tiger II[[/note]].

Remember the Porsche Tiger? Notice how it's found in an lower deck storage room, not all that bigger than the tank itself, and that is not accessible except for small passageways. Also notice how it's found fully assembled, but then, there's talk of how "it's not gonna be available" for the Anzio and Pravda battles. Finally notice how in episode 10 they mention that the Automobile team just assembled all its scattered parts, even though it was found fully assembled. [[FridgeBrilliance Corolary:]] The only way for the tank to exit (and enter) the room is disassembled. Plainly, the Tiger (P) was originally lost because of an ''Film/AnimalHouse'' - style [[PracticalJoke prank]] - the classic "disassemble a car and assemble it again inside their room" one, but UpToEleven. Now, [[WackyFratboyHijinx what kind of people is likely to do that kind of stuff?]]. Having been stablished the past presence of fratboys in Õarai, there remains only the doubt if the Tiger([[labelnote:P]]rank[[/labelnote]]) was hidden there as revenge for the academy sending the guys away, or if sending the guys away was a revenge for stuff like hidding their best tanks.

* Anzu knows the minutae of the budget well enough (learned while finding room for the student council's own little luxuries) that she has a pretty good idea what's going on, who's responsible, and Yuzu's blackmail files do include information about this (note that Anzu made sure they took some documents about the budget with them before clearing out of the ship): the problem is that she can't use this evidence in any way which actually helps keep the school open. She could get some revenge ''after'' Oarai closed, but up to that point it's better for her goals if she doesn't even reveal she's aware of this. (In fact, the original promise about the tournament may have been intended as a way to keep her uselessly occupied.)

* Should Oarai pick a win over Jatkosota, St. Gloriana will be the FinalBoss of the Winter Cup and the two schools will finally have a proper match.

* This has been confirmed. She drops all [[JerkassFacade facades]] and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments opens up to Miho]] after her victory[[note]](notice spoilerless wording)[[/note]], instead of cold-shouldering her as her mother all but orders her to do from then onwards in episode 8 ([[spoiler:that's part of what the disinheritance scene means]]).

Saori's parents are never shown in any way, shape or form during the first season, so are they normal in comparison to mothers who'd disown their children over tankery but later change their minds, or a {{Tsundere}} grandmother filling in for one's biological parents? ''Little Army'' provides some indications that InvisibleParents are not always normal parents when Chihiro alludes to her mother (who is never seen) being strict enough that she can't be opposed, and as such, she has some understanding of why Maho [[JerkassFacade acts differently around Shiho]]. It's possible that Saori has family issues that she doesn't talk about (maybe not even to Mako), and they will come to the forefront during the second season.

! Saki Maruyama will be SuddenlyVoiced at the end of the series.
