The low review score here is baffling to me. This series was a riot from start to finish in ways I did not expect and that were refreshing and new for a genre that has been redone to death.
For starters, if you are a fan of gaming as well as anime, then this series has a LOT of in jokes and skits that call back to games like Assassins Creed and Zelda. Which is just fun to see despite not being particularly creative in itself. What was really creative in this show was the use of game mechanics in the show in a way you ... don't see in the hundreds of game-isekais out there. One example, and minor spoiler, was a character pausing the game during a fight to use a screenshot mode to reset their character pose and velocity. Additionally, the story goes to all kinds of different game genres from Gacha to Rhythm and RPG. Really leaning hard into the world in the series being a video game.
If you are a fan of the game-based-isekais like SAO, Shangri-La Frontier, or Log Horizon, then you will like this show.
The CG animation improves rapidly after the first 2 episodes or so and the action is fun and fast and pretty. The jokes are unique and not overplayed. The characters are cute and have distinct personalities. Safe to say I LOVE this show.
EDIT: I watched this in the JP dub. Didn't notice it was all out in Chinese until I got halfway in. No idea which is better but the JP was good imo

I'll keep this as short as I can. I thought this anime would be a stream of memes like Konosuba and not much more. Cute girls driving tanks can't really be a story can it?
Well I was wrong. The story is simple and easy to follow but it didn't feel underdone or ignored. It simply followed a common (but not unsuccessful) setup. No big wins for originality at its core but I was happy with it.

The characters were fun and many were very relate-able.

Lastly, despite this being a world where high school girls drive tanks around, it felt really natural and I ... didn't feel like I was being thrown into this kind-of sci-fi environment without explanation. It's just a place where Tankery is a sport and people love the heck out of it.

10/10 will always recommend.
