Girls & Panzer: Fushou Akiyama Yukari no Sensha Kouza

These short videos are exactly what they present themselves to be - enjoyable little videos that provide historical background on the tanks in Girls und Panzer. There is no new animation for the videos - just shots from the series, diagrams of tanks, and some actual footage of tanks in action. However, as someone who enjoys reading about tanks and armoured vehicles, the information in the videos is not just accurate, but surprisingly detailed. Yukari goes over a wide variety of material, from the effectiveness of sloped armour whilst talking about Pravda's Russian tanks, to pre-war tank doctrine whilst discussing St. Gloriana's British "infantry tanks", ... to mentioning how the design and production methods behind American tanks like the M3 Lee used by Ōarai and the M4 Sherman used by Saunders allowed them to be built so quickly and in such vast quantities. The researchers definitely did their job. If you like Girls und Panzer, and if you like tanks, you will like these videos.

I only rate this as a 6 out of 10 because it's a mixed bad. It's not necessarily bad. It's just not for everybody.

These episodes simply show Yukari explaining the tanks used in the series. It's filled with facts regarding tanks and historical events. It's also filled with some scenes from the series.

As we all know, Yukari is a tank nerd. She is a walking encyclopædia of tanks. Consider those articles regarding tanks that are also informative but added with Yukari's enthusiasm and you got something better. This is well made.

Unfortunately, as far as I'm concerned, the information enters one ear and goes out ... of the other. I'm not a tank nerd and the only reason I watched this is to be a completist of GUP media. But if you are a tank nerd or perhaps enthusiastic about military history, this may be for you.
