Yeah, I remember hearing that the Finnish museum operators were like "why are we getting so many donations from Japan of all places" and looked into it and learned about GuP. Also yeah, the actual town of Ooarai has GuP merch like literally everywhere, even in shops that have nothing to do with anime/nerd stuff. The show had that much of a positive effect on the town.

The worldbuilding with its internal consistency is unironically what made GuP's we-need-to-save-our-school plot make sense. The school carriers being a thing is absurd, but that in turn gives them the justification to shut down underperforming schools, because it logically takes a lot of budget to run these carriers, and why are the girls so determined to save their school? Because the school carrier is, for the most part, their hometown. Its not just the school, its the town on it as well that is under threat. With this context suddenly the plot and character motivation to save the school(and town) becomes very compelling.

[@magiccarpetmadeofsteel4564]

This tbh

[@TwilightWolf032]

Not to mention all the adults employed (the anime has shown bakeries, ice cream shops, libraries, convenience stores, etc. manned by adults) will also be out of jobs, BUT the first movie puts the girls' abilities to fight against the closing of the school by using them as hostages - if they try to protest the closing down, those adults will not be transferred to other places, instead will lose their jobs. So they're not fighting only for the school girls, they're also fighting for the adults that depend on their success to sustain their families!

[@ernesto893]

I think it is important to be noticed that this show is an "original anime" and not those which originated from a manga series. Most of the anime has long exposition because of limitation of its medium. On the otherside GuP has creativity freedom and some experienced staff such as anime director(Tsutomu Mizhushima, has experiences in Crayon Shin-chan movie series) and sound director (Yoshikazu Iwanami, famous for the sound of Jojo animated series) and scenario writer (Reiko Yoshida, famous for K-on anime) which suprisingly luxurious for a simple cute-girls-doing-cute-things anime. The GuP series made influences here in Japan like Oarai being the No1 anime pilgrimage sites and recongnizing the importance of movie theaters, especially sounds, since the Japanese movie industry didn't take seriously about their sound aspects. Thats the reason why I really love this series. I hope that even more people watch this beloved anime in the future.

[@vanguard1346]

[@janslavik5284]

As a history enjoyer I love GuP because it focuses on what's important, namely the tanks. There are no annoying subplots that span 3 episodes and focus on a character nobody cares about. It also doesn't really feel much like an anime, at least for an anime-illiterate like me. GuP also doesn't over-sexualize it's characters every third scene and there are no out-of-this world plot points, which is the reason I've dropped Strike Witches after the first episode (you know, the whole let's strap an airplane engine to our feet and let's fight some aliens bs). The only other anime I've seen whole apart from GuP is High School Fleet, but even that felt more focused on the conflict between the commander and vice-commander of the Harekaze than on the ships themselves, so I probably won't be rewatching that any time soon. GuP managed to include just enough anime in this soup of niche historical references to be acceptable by the general public, which is an incredible achievement if you think about it.

[@marcuscersy2393]

Aside from some of the OVAs and a scene here and there, there's really no fanservice. You'd expect an anime of all highschool girls to show more panty shots, but there isn't even one. Marie even does a perfect cartwheel onto the roof of her tank and her skirt does not reveal anything. I love that. I mean... Darjeeling is still the queen, but that's just me.

[@observationsfromthebunker9639]

@@marcuscersy2393 I believe the lack of service came about because the anime promoted the actual city of Ooarai. (Every background shot of the streets was copied from an actual location.) The city, which is a prefectural capitol, probably wouldn't want their promoted show to be "that kind" of anime. The raciest thing they did was the anglerfish dance, which had costumes that still covered the girls head to toe. It's a genuine PG-rated anime not made by Studio Ghibli, offends no one (in Japan) and that's fine.

The conclusion of both the Kuromorimine match at the end of the series and of the match in the film are just so well made. The pacing, the score, the nonverbal input from the characters. I never expected this show to give me goosebumps on first viewing. And it did it twice.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

The tense music as oppossed to triunfant "final battle" music, the sudden lack of it on the last moves of the battle, replaced by the sounds of engines, tracks and cannons; the timid main theme, almost not believing they won, gaining a bit of strength as they realize they _did,_ but not yet reaching full "victory theme" levels - and then as the two sisters shake hands, _the real victory,_ *the main theme going full blast!* Yes, it WAS beautiful, a masterclass in how to make a music score.

@@allenharper2928 Yeah I can understand it if in character the people never heard of the game/sport. Sort of like the early episodes of things like Yugioh. But just like that anime it gets odd when you have supposedly pro players/champions explaining every little thing. I think the worst show was Hajime no Ippo, or Fighting Spirit. As much as I liked the show it was very odd how they rolled out techniques and moves as the series went on. As if the basics of boxing was not taught to the MC until the plot demanded it. Kid who been training for months didn't know something like a counter punch existed....

This anime changed my life, it was everything I love in a convenient cute package. Great video, Love from Italy. Also, Anchovy is a credit to all Italian army members (under the General rank) of WW2: trying to come up on top with only creativeness without having the resources to compare to your adversaries. The only thing that was wrong with her is that they made her a reference to the bald guy with an overinflated ego(the guy WANTED to have the competence of Anchovy): we Italian weeaboos forgave her for this, but I think that I spoke for every Italian that it will be much more better if the GuP producers made her a reference to Giovanni Messe and made another character to reference the bald guy(with the mistakes of this character that hamper continuously the Anzio team).

[@catriona_drummond]

I remember a photo from a book about WW2 in North Africa. Scattered trucks and vehicles, burning in the desert, dead soldiers and living ones, huddling for some cover. And amid the chaos a lone Italian machine gunner with his friend. The friend lying on the back and lifting one leg vertically up and the machinegunner using his friend's foot as an improvised weapon mount to blast away at the plane that is strafing them. I was reminded of it by your comment and I think it is indeed true that the Italian soldiers made the best out of nothing and should deserve more of the spotlight.

That was funny when you didn't realize tanks can drift! All the stereotypes and history jokes totally crack me up. I am waiting for das Finale to be finished, then I will rewatch the entire series from episode 1. The best thing about this anime is that it could actually make history fun for people who wouldnt ordinarily enjoy learning about history. I mean, if you did not know anything about the Maus, and then saw it in the show, you would probably assume that the tank is fictional, look it up, and be shocked that it actually existed. Or at least was a real prototype tank. And that would lead you down the rabbit hole that is WWII. Also, Higehiro is an amazing and beautifully deep and impactful anime.

One of my friends who I tried to get into GuP said that the character designs were too generic. This opinion was formed by looking at a picture of Erika and Maho stood next to each other in uniform. AKA the most uniform thing in GuP. I sent them a picture of the history team after that. They still weren't convinced and also said that "CGI doesn't belong in anime" of course referring to the tanks. So I sent a screenshot of one of the later episodes where the tanks fit in basically seamlessly. However, then they said that they didn't like how quiet the first episode was and that it was so boring they stopped watching. I tried to convince them again, and they told me to stop trying to force them to watch it, which would be fair if they hadn't hounded me to watch the entirety of JOJO beginning in part 1 *for 4 YEARS.* I tried to bring that up, and they simply said that "That's different because JOJO is good" I gave up.

Well done! You're the first person to convince me to watch ANY anime in a decade or more. Those action scenes look really nicely animated, and proper fun. I couldn't care less about the melodramatic woes of high-school girls, but watching tanks fighting? Yeah, I can get behind that.

[@dimitrijensk2845]

It’s actually insane how accurate not only the tanks but the references are.

[@englishpolishmememan8892]

Girls und Panzer was probably the third anime I watched that got me sold on anime. First was Sound of the Sky, and second was Strike Witches.

[@inisipisTV]

Good choices.

[@jdelark6428]

8:57 admittedly this is a pretty good attempt at an Aussie accent. I've never watched GuP but know of the memes. And I'm almost certain the reason why us Australians didn't get more screen time is due to the 'aesthetic design feature' of Australia's first and only home made tank that was designed and produced during WWII. I give you: The Sentinel. 🤣

Always happy to see more Girls Und Panzer appreciation!

[@inductivegrunt94]

Wow, surprised to see you here Ascendant. But it is a GuP review video in 2023 so it makes sense GuP fans would slowly congregate here and discover one another. Of course I left my signature essay long comment here so you can read that should you get the time to read something as long as my usual big comments.

[@Boskov01]

It's the anime that half the War Thunder community curses under their breaths and the other half cheers and celebrates. (I fall into the latter category, naturally, else I wouldn't be watching this).

[@MichaelAlexKawa]

I love this anime, and for some reasons love watching reviews about it. With that said, I love your review of this amazing show.

[@takenname8053]

SUPER NICE, One of the few animes I actively rewatch

[@achong007]

I love watching it because it was funny. Yea, it's fantasy but sometimes you just have to enjoy a movie with humor.

[@rwandaforever6744]

I probably will never watch anything but anime for the rest of my life... Compared to western cartoons or animated movies or even real life series, it just wins every time. And, yes, I do not care if the title is longer than the intro. Even the most silly concept works. Just compare is to, say, the latest Oscar winning movie "Everything Everywhere All at Once". It was hailed as mind bending and new and fresh and something that was never seen...yet, this would be one judged as a mediocre first episode of an anime. Seen that dozens of times. Haven't watched GuP, but it's on my list now. I am more the isekai shonen type, but like to find something different from time to time. It is amazing how they do it! Every. Single. Time. I see a new anime with an absurd title, a funny theme, and at first glance the typical characters. But after half a season there is already so much backstory and drama and fun you are absolutely invested. "Game of Thrones"? Who cares about that basic piece of film... There are still some series I do enjoy beside anime, but not many. They lost their luster compared to how deep and fun an anime is...even when they just throw in some barely clad girls, tentacle monsters and weapons powered by singing and painting to safe a kingdom of fluffy bunnies...you probably will be crying when one of the protagonists dies, cheering when they are avenged. Again: I do not know how they make this happen, but anime are so much better than other shows in all aspects.

[@TheSrSunday]

This.

[@thespectate1450]

his Video says everything i had on my mind about the Show and i love it xD

[@just_murder98]

Yeah same like me,And from that anime there are many tanks that I like such as Tiger1 tanks, Tigerp tanks, Stug III tanks, Kv2 tanks, KV 1s tanks, and Churchill VIII.

[@fathan2gaming805]

The anime actually mentions someone actually died during a match

[@Wiesel_1A2]

Actually never heard of that

[@toasterkolin9951]

Wasn't it one of the crewmembers from the Panzer IV that Miho tried to save from drowning?

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

@@toasterkolin9951 She saved her but yea she would have drowned and was a source of trauma for her. They also mentioned the risk of a stray shell hitting the commander but generally never happens.

[@gokbay3057]

The fact that firing the machine guns at exposed people is banned could imply that someone tried it before (they definitely do fire the machine guns a few times in the show, either to keep enemy heads inside the tank with less visibility or to calculate shots for the main gun, not sure which).

[@inisipisTV]

@@gokbay3057 - Didn’t stop Arisa to keep shooting their Sherman’s MG at the Duck team’s when Noriko is totally outside the tank.😅

[@hunterking6033]

I am now going to watch this because your video compels it. Great job.

[@cynthiahatterene6739]

Man, as both a tank nerd and a weeb i can say, i love this damn series so much. Actually rewatched it like 5-6 times and still love it. Also man episode 4 of finale is already out? Welp i know what ill be doing after this. Honestly wish thisll never end. Also actually bought the game for ps4 as well. Hella fun and builds even more ontop of everything.

[@soul___pilot]

4:04 FLOOF IS BEST

[@DavidtheSlothClassic]

I remember when I rewatched it for the first time, worried that maybe it was not as good as I remembered, and I were right, it was better than I remembered. Love this show, one of my personal top 10 shows of all time, and not I am gonna watch all it plus the movie and OVA's again because you reminded me of it.

[@py8554]

The annual GuP festival in Ooarai is still being held every year with great attendance, 12 years after the airing of the anime.

[@kakakiri2601]

This is how historians should tell the history this day

[@user-vw8it9oo8h]

Any orchestra used in this anime is great, I listen to it a lot when playing warthunder and wot.

[@Ezra411st]

This was the first and only anime i watched from start to finish and I can never forget any of it

[@MrLolx2u]

Imma say this... Yukari and Erwin singing "Yuki No Shingun" during their recon walk against Pravda was the peak of the whole show. Also Yukari is my spirit animal.

[@qwantum_7821]

Great video!

[@TheMemeDynamics]

I watched this anime for the first time in 2014. It slapped when I watched it the first time, and now I'm re-watching it. As you said in the video, it does still slap. I wonder when the final episode of GuP das Finale would come out

[@REIN474]

You need help buddy but i love the energy hahahaha

[@Egalitare]

This series had me at “Tankery”😂

[@King-Eli-Lionheart]

10:53 bruh, I died of laughter

[@user-RetardedMonke]

It also always come back to my brain sometimes and when it does, MY PTSD INCREASES

[@Vikey36]

one thing worth to mention, is how perfect is GuP due to this combination. when you aren't a history nerd, history related films might be hard to catch you, or even scenes that are intense with tanks (like a troop facing a tiger I) might not feel as they would when you know about the topic, because you just might see a big car slow as a snail that looks like any other one (something my sister would say). In the other hand, GuP has a perfect balance between history and light plot, that any casual viewer can watch it, have a good time and having the chance to get into the history community, specially when the show things like the maus, or the KV-2 shooting, and once you do start researching you might even have the surprise that those tanks in the anime exist and are exactly like the anime (the best part of that, I want a collection of GuP and I plan to make it myself by looking for a scale model of the tank, paint it the right color and put the banner of the school)
