Girls und Panzer das Finale – Part 2

Girls & Panzer: Saishuushou Part 2 Continuing exactly from where part 1 left off we have another fantastic part to the existing show. Part 2 continues the fight against the BC Freedom High School and shows us how other schools are doing and finishes with the first half of the fight against the Chi-Ha-Tan Academy team. The part where it shows the other teams performing is very nice and I am glad to see Anzio Girls High School doing well and also a funny shot of their usual food parties aftermath. Anchovy my favourite is always good to see. The art used in the show isexcellent and perfectly suited to the format of the show. The girls are all very cute in this Cute Girls do Tankery show. The Soundtrack is excellent as expected. The battle sounds are great and the voices are perfectly suited. Character development is already very set for the main cast but they do continue to reveal more. The other two schools shown as the main opponents this time have a really nice development. Marie is a very cute character and the girls are all unique. I love the historical figure relations many have. The Shark team are a great addition as seen from part 1. Overall part 2 is very enjoyable and this is an absolute must-watch along with the entirety of the content available.

I've watched a fair share of "cute girl doing cute things" anime. And even in a department full of cliches and overused tropes like this, Girl and Panzer is still somewhat a uniquely hilarious show with its whackiness nature and a captivating game of war tank. Almost a year has past since the second part of Girls & Panzer: Saishuushou aired in Japan, finally I can get a hold of it. Coming in with high expectation, fortunately, Des Finale didn't disappoint. In the span of nearly an hour, it presented a very fast pace with 2 tank games picking up right where it left off.The battles with BC and Chihatan also shows some of the most masterful tactic I've seen in the anime. Along with the interaction between the characters as funny as ever, it manages to capture my attention till the last minute. If you have followed through the Girl and Panzer franchise til this day, what are you waiting for? Watch the second part of Girl and Panzer: Des Finale as soon as possible. Panzer Vor.

Ahhhh, this was such a wholesome movie to watch......♥ I HAVE NOT WATCHED THE ANIME SERIES, THIS IS PURELY A REVIEW OF THE MOVIES This is both a PART 1&2 review because its hard for me to really separate the two as they flow nicely together. Part 2 is just a continuation of the events of the first movie which is impressive because movie sequels don't tend to have the same quality as each other. This is why people always say the first is the best. In this case, both parts 1&2 connect beautifully together that it doesn't feel like I'm watching two separate films but thesame one just split into two parts. Important things to keep in mind are that I personally would not watch this series myself. I was intrigued by the premise as a friend recommended it and my friends were planning on watching it together. I thought I would find the most enjoyable part being their commentary as its always so entertaining even if I didn't end up liking the anime, I would still have fun. At least that's what I thought. What ended up happening was I was so absorbed in the story that time seemed to go by fast and by the time the second one finished I was craving more. Why though? The characters are cookie-cutter stylistically that its like they're the anime doppelgangers for other series. Theirs also such a plethora of characters that unless you have already seen the anime series you might not appreciate them as much. Might even be confused but just like with any anime, the stars of the show tend to show themselves. By the end of the movies, I had developed a love for the characters and an appreciation of the plotline where I want to now watch the anime series itself and not just the movies. The concept of games of war using tanks from different countries and periods of history as a team sport is both strange and revolutionary to me. This concept alone intrigued me enough to want to know more - keep in mind, I wouldn't look for a story like this myself. The main premise of these movies is those war games. Most of the movie is dedicated to that and pregame re-con. All in the hopes of winning and being able to help their senpai graduate. [Seriously so wholesome XD] My favorite part is that this sports series is better at strategizing then an actual anime based on war or fighting that I have seen in a while. It isn't like two mechs half hazard fighting one another where the pilot somehow miraculously wins. The conflict is intense and strategic where you never know what team will win until the very end. Your on the edge of your seat the whole time which is great because do you really want a predictable anime? No. That's boring. One good thing about sports-based anime series is that you never know what the outcome will be. Its not about OP characters who you expect will win because they are the protagonist. Instead your constantly on the edge of your seat because the goal may be winning but that doesn't mean they will. However, it doesn't take away the overall enjoyment you feel when you watch. This can't really be said for series that have a conflict based storyline because if its not done in a good way, it can look really bad, be it story or animation or both. I would say that due to its unique plot with historic details, action-packed animation with first-person perspectives, entertaining characters, and overall wholesome enjoyment, its a great watch.

Das Finale 2 wasted no time, and so I shall waste no time, it immediately picks up at the exact spot at which the last one left off, which I can respect, they didn’t need a recap, so they didn’t put one in there, as some titles like to do, and, well, you can kind of figure out what happens after that, they finish the battle with BC, which concluded rather well, watching a well thought out and orchestrated plan unfold is always good, as was this one, it’s what you’ve come to expect, the same gripping armoured combat we’ve come to expect by now,and, at its core, it works great, I really haven’t got any complaints, I don’t know if we really needed another montage of them singing the Onion March, I figured once was enough, or maybe have Ooarai sing something instead, speaking of which, most of this battle is from the perspective of BC, rather than Ooarai, which works very well, Nishizumi establishes she needs to do something, then it shifts to BC, and only a few minutes before ending is it established what it is she did, and, when all is said and done, it works well, she’s no Hannibal, but, first half of the film is the battle between BC and Ooarai, and it’s a good one, not to mention the production value’s definitely gone up since last time. Afterwards, we get a bit of typical slice of life stuff, going to cafes and what have you, bit of a montage of various other schools fighting, wouldn’t have minded seeing more of the Koala Team, but, anyway, Ooarai then proceeds to fight Chihatan, which, like the fight with BC last time, ends on a cliffhanger, and I’ve never particularly liked cliffhangers, especially when you’ve got to wait several years for them to end, so, not too big on that, but, at its core, there’s nothing wrong with Das Finale 2, it’s the same shoujo and sensha action you’ve come to expect by this point, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but, there’s not a dull moment throughout, it gives you everything you’ve come to expect, and just a little bit of extra flavour to make it better, definitely a solid pick for anyone who likes girls, panzers, or anything in between.
