They may have managed to push the Gloriana team ( Darjeeling even dropped her tea!), but they were severely outmatched from the start. Miho may have done extremely well in the battle, but at the end of the day, the inexperience of the rest of the team proved to be something of a burden. It’s somewhat ironic how well the StuG managed to camouflage itself despite the extent to which the history club ruined its original colours!īut in the end, superior British armour wins out. That this wasn’t against the rules is both brilliant and once more a show of just how crazy Girls und Panzer can be! Tactically it was a good move too – they seemed to be far more familiar with the town than their opponents, allowing them to use its terrain to their advantage.



When things looked like they were taking a turn for the worse, Miho managed to rally everyone and head into town. So many of the small details add to this entertainment: the idea of Mako sleeping in the tank while she’s not actually driving is adorable the volleyball team’s short game in the middle of the match is a testament to their long term goal and the speed with which Momo loses her cool in battle ( who cares about aiming! Just fire!) is downright hilarious. The battle really was a joy to watch, from the tank drifting to switching into that brilliant first person tank perspective which is a lot of fun each time it comes up. Of course, through all this, it never once sheds its ability to be completely and utterly ridiculous! This week, it brings us truly spectacular tank battles juxtaposed with a well-handled more emotional side. So far it’s proven itself to be one of those very rare shows that manage to top themselves each and every week rather than starting strong and gradually diminishing in quality over time. For the fourth week in a row Girls und Panzer delivers, retaining its spot as one of the best offerings of the season.
