[personal profile] yhlee, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to crunchyroll.com and report back on the anime GIRLS und PANZER. It appears to be exactly what it sounds like: an anime about schoolgirls who have to learn "tankery" in school.

So far I've seen five episodes, subtitled, and it's cute fun. Given how little credit brains get in certain varieties of anime, I appreciate that the girls use smarts and actual strategy in their (so-far) tournament battles. So far my favorite things have been the recruiting film that talks about how tank warfare refines and enhances your femininity, and the tank-themed cafe where all the desserts are made to look like tanks.
