: (ガールズ&パンツァー?
: Gāruzu ando Pantsā) is a 2012 Japanese anime television series
: created by Actas.[1][2] It depicts a competition between girls' high
: schools practicing tank warfare as a sport.

: The story takes place in a universe where historical World War II–era tanks
: are maintained for sport-style warfare competitions and large carrier
: ships known as Academy Ships support mobile sea communities. Of the many
: activities high school girls can participate in, one of the most popular
: is "sensha-dō" (戦車道?, lit. "the
: way of the tank"), the art of operating tanks, which is considered a
: traditional martial art. Miho Nishizumi, a girl from a prestigious family
: of sensha-dō practitioners who became traumatized by a past event,
: transfers to Ōarai Girls High School to get away from sensha-dō,
: as she presumed the school was no longer practicing the sport. However,
: shortly after Miho begins her new school life and makes some new friends,
: the student council announces the revival of sensha-dō at Ōarai
: and coerces Miho, the only student with prior experience, to join. While
: reluctant to join at first, having practically been forced, Miho soon
: warms up to sensha-dō again and comes to enjoy it, after which the
: school prepares to enter a national sensha-dō championship, facing
: off against various other schools.
