Is Girls Und Panzer Realistic? Does it Matter? 

There's a reason why Girls Und Panzer is my favorite tank show. It's goofy and entertaining while respecting history.

I think Girls Und Panzer does a perfect job of balancing Realism and fiction one never overpowers the other

"Tanks can't jump or drift!" Slavs and Scandinavian: Observe

Very good analysis. Is it taking liberties? Yes. Is it too bonkers? No as much as you'd think. Is it awesome. ABSOLUTELY.

I think those detractors who love to highlight the perceived 'unreality' of Girls und Panzer should take time to read J.R.R.Tolkien's 1939 essay 'On Fairy Stories,' in which he discusses, amongst other subjects, the theme of 'consistency within reality.' In essence, it's about fantasy world building and populating that world with peoples, their customs, history, lore and technology etc. that are entirely consistent with that reality. Girls und Panzer achieves this perfectly and never once does it step outside the constraints of its own 'reality.'

Also, I noticed that despite not trying to be historically accurate all the time, sometimes they make somewhat plausible battles like T-34s vs tigers and the 34s closing the gap. The Pershing’s in the urban environment, a famous tank duel took place in a city with a Pershing killing the panther. I don’t watch the show although I might but I have seen these in clips. It is honestly amazing utilization of these machines into a show everyone likes. Tank nerds love it because of realistic tank models, anime weebs love it because anime, and normal people just like seeing a cool show where tanks beat the ever loving shit out of each other in fun action packed battles while also having a nice little story behinds it.

the battle in der film was great and IMO it only got surpassed by the jungle battle against chi-ha-tan, that whole battle was incredible, especially considering the character advancement for chi-ha-than between the series and das finale also your brother's comment about the automotive club forgot to include the girls installed an actual turbo button in their tank that gives them 5 seconds of like 200kph

Is Girls und Panzer realistic? Yes and no. The tanks are too fast, none break down during battle compared to their historical counterparts, and tanks take more damage compared to how they normally would. But all the unrealistic stuff is more nitpicks and stuff one can look past for the sake of entertainment. The good parts of the series, and a huge reason why I love it so much, is how it's goofy, adorable, and entertaining while also being so incredibly realistic. The series knows and respects history while also being entertaining at the same time. That's the beauty of Girls und Panzer and a huge reason why we love it so much. It's just that great of an anime, for its entertainment value and its adherence to realism. So thanks for another amazing analysis video, and I hope to catch you this Saturday for your next Dream Tank Match Stream!

Technically the Porsche Tiger has a petrol electric drive. Meaning tracks are moved forward by electric motors. So theoretically you can up the power by just using sth like batteries or a big super capacitor. I think the new hybrid tanks or the new American standard engine pack for armored vehicles even has a power boost option :)

i just remember that rabbit team has watched a movie about real tank in war, so taking form this fact, i think the tanks used in the tournament aren't the same tanks used in real war, it should have been specially made for sports(senshado), that will explain what they mean about the safety aspect, and also why they can let high school girls ride it...

The thing is that vast majority of exaggeration is done off the back of the tank's real life capabilities. Such as the speed of the BT and the Crusader

Also, and a theory, the more modern equipment in the creation might include improved engine and transmissions. Edit: Oh wait. I just had to wait 2 second to hear what I just said.

6:38 It would have taken a KV-2 about 20 seconds to load a shell, in Girls Und Panzer it took them a few seconds

considering they had The Chieftain (nicolas moran) involved as a consultant for the movie i'd rate the realism pretty high... bar the matillda 2 drifting... but other than that... i don't care I love the show

The Duck team putting out their tank's fire with a fire extinguisher while all four are inside their tank AND the hatches are closed are HIGHLY unrealistic. They'd suffocate very quickly irl. That is the only demerit I'd offer the show.

Girls und Panzer is internally consistent and is realistic in areas that truly matter while not afraid to do something crazy to make it more fun. Tanks jumping and drifting do in fact happen, not as exaggerated as in the anime but people dismissing these in a blanket statement is just wrong. Especially with steel tracks, they slide around on paved surfaces, and ofc ice and wet surfaces too. And plenty of tank jumps as long you are fast enough, which most WW2 tanks were; although once again GuP extend the jump distance by quite a bit. Speed is speed, and acceleration of gravity is the same regardless if you are a tank or not. A 50kmh tank is going to make the same jump a 50kmh car would. The tanks are often faster than IRL though, or at least slower tanks have their speed normalized to match the rest. Breakdowns do happen but rarely and usually recovered much quicker than IRL. The guns often penetrate less than they do IRL. A lot of hits on both friend and foe often bounce when realistically, would have gone through several times that distance. Conversely, the transfer of momentum is ridiculous with tanks sent flying from impacts. The "police chase" scenes are pretty unrealistic tactics but a lot of other very real ones too. Hull downs, reverse slope defense, encirclement, ambushes, Double envelopment, feints, hit and run, mobile defense, etc. etc. And its all employed in a very intelligent way that makes sense in the context of the match. Its a lot better tactics than most "tactician/strategists" animes.

Accurate depiction of tanks...with the glaring exception when it comes to tank speeds.

Could you do video on GuP music composition? Like how its made and how it effects the viewers watching? You already mentioned the music when Pravda sacrificed them self for Katyusha so it would be great continuation on how Great music in GuP is.

總結，畢竟是動漫嘛，沒必要追求真實，那是少女與戰車呢，他在真實和不真實之間保持一個微妙的關係

It feels like it has some of those saturday cartoon. Crazy bonking and hijinks.

2:22 however : *Showing proof

m24 climbing a roller coaster: this is realistic heck yeah!

Girls und panzer: the only show where you can Tokyo drift a tank

"We use real shells in matches but they're used with an emphasis on the participants safety"

I never really understood this debate, as someone new to tanks, seeing the show is animated I already suspend my disbelief for it. Another series I see this kind of debate in is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, where the characters have super natural abilities, but the writer still explains them in a scientific manner.

There's a joke about the Flying Christie in there somewhere.

bro ahh.. just.. thank you many people and videos provoke me about this and you just swabbed them and.. a salute for your brother🫡

What annoys me about people who nitpick things like the speed of the tanks, they somehow give the giant city sized aircraft carriers the schools are on a complete pass. So apparently somethings are perfectly fine, but the location of a weld on a Lee is a big no no.

7:10 Sounds like a skill issue with your brother. 😂

"No one ever gets hurt in tankery". Yeah, but when a tank gets in a crash that would kill anyone IRL no matter what type of ammunition used and no one bats an eye, then whatever goes.

There's a reason why every tank enthusiast and military vehicle nut who has watched the show likes it lol

Girls unpanzers is literally tank Porn. For people who want to see tanks pushed to the absolute maximum possible limit. With the added bonus of knowing that we'll never have a sport like tankery. But knowing we would sign up in a heartbeat if it was announced...

Short answer no long answer nooooooooooooooo

If you want accuracy watch a documentary, not an anime. :D
