Art of Girls und Panzer
/Girls und Panzer is an animation series created by Actas. The series was directed by Tsutomu Mizushima, written by Reiko Yoshida, and produced by Kiyoshi Sugiyama in 2012. The story takes place where historical World War II–era tanks are maintained for sport-style warfare competitions and large carrier ships, known as Academy Ships (used as an extreme application of the term "school ship"), support mobile sea communities.
