Girls Und Panzer

Girls und Panzer is a new Japanese anime that started airing this fall, and the premise of the show is that (non-lethal) tank combat (called Tankery/Panzerfahnen/Tankwondo) is a competitive sport between girl’s schools. The tanks used are exclusively World War 2 era makes and the show follows Nishizumi Miho and her school compete in a national tank tournament.

I personally enjoyed the historical accuracy, the combat, the storyline, the characters, and the occasional references and love the shows as a result. It can be viewed (legally) here: http://www.crunchyroll.com/girls-und-panzer

Anyone else seen this?

Who says there are no original ideas?

tankwondo…awesome!

Sounds like fun. I’ll have to have a look at this tonight.

I agree. It reminds me of Cyberpunk’s cyborg martial art, Panzerfaust (armour fist).

AP rounds are non-lethal?!
