Bandai Visual has formally revealed the development of Girls und Panzer
(Girls & Tanks), the first original anime created by Squid Girl,
Kemeko Deluxe, and Hare+Guu director Tsutomu Mizushima. ACTAS (Moetan)
will animate the TV series with Reiko Yoshida (K-On, St. Seiya Omega)
writing the scripts; Isao Sugimoto (Kemeko Deluxe) will provide
animation character design and serve as animation director. Military
advisor for Strike Witches & Upotte Takaaki Suzuki will advise the
production. The “pleasant school story” about schoolgirls trained to
operate real-world tanks will premiere this fall. I typically like military bishoujo anime, yet there’s very little
tank and a whole lot of moe´ in this trailer. It’s as though Mizushima
liked Sora no Woto but thought, “Not cute enough!”
