In this final episode, it’s a treat to see just how the Oarai girls have grown and evolved since they were first introduced, each in their own ways and continuing to play to their group’s strengths. Who would ever have thought of using tanks in that way to take down a Maus? I can only imagine the writers cackling in glee as they thought up this stuff – Girls und Panzer must have been a huge amount of fun to work on. But at the same time, the ridiculous methods they used to take it down vastly overshadow any feelings of disappointment with this outcome – it truly displayed the absurdity and tactical thinking I’ve come to know and love from Girls und Panzer with their last ditch efforts which leave everyone else in shock. I had kind of hoped that they would ignore it – that there would be some small hitch that Oarai wouldn’t be able to overcome and would have to avoid instead and their victory over it disappoints me ever so slightly. The sheer power was such a step above what Oarai had to offer that I was sure they’d take the logical route of ignoring it and going for the flag tank – it didn’t appear to be the speediest of tanks after all and they would probably be able to outrun it and obstruct its line of fire within the narrow streets of the town. This may be the second week in a row that we see the Maus, but it certainly hasn’t lost its terrifying edge. Without a doubt, it serves as the perfect ending to such a brilliant series, laden with high tension, action, glory and emotional outcomes. Every week I found myself wondering just how they’d top the events of the most recent episode, yet somehow they always managed to and this finale is no exception. It almost seems something of a miracle that the show managed to keep up its high standards, never once faltering as it continuously exceeded the expectations set by the preceding episodes. 「あとには退けない戦いです！」 ( Ato ni wa Shirizokenai Tatakai Desu!)Īt long last, Girls und Panzer delivers its finale in typically spectacular style.
