Girls und Panzer - Recommendations

PaleRose says...

Both contain cute girls in using military machinery (ships and tanks), although the background in both shows is a bit different. Both also have a similar art style. 

Trinah101 says...

Both have cute girls using millitary machined (in Haifuri we have boats, and in Girls und Panzer we have tanks) and these machines are a big part of their highschool life. They are also all-girls (though in Haifuri we see an all-boys school that has submarines. 

In both, firing at eachother seems to do nothing but scare/unsettle a little. (Although in Haifuri it seems they are probably more serious while in Girls und Panzer they are non-lethal). 

Both use stategy and teamwork to solve problems.

The main characters are very similar in personality as well.

They are also both written by Reiko Yoshida

vincent789 says...

The Art style is nearly the same.

The Animations is exactly the same!

The Sound IS the same!

And the characters are just the same.

These two are so alike it's hard to make a diffence.

Plus they both look like they are sponser at (in this case)

World of Warships

And in the other case

World of Tanks

yebinpark13 says...

both of the animation has smiliar character design and in the anime both of the school gets in some kind of trouble and the students saves the school

Guardian3889 says...

Both shows feature girls in highschool operating World War 2 vehicles. They both also feature the cast learning to work together and beating the impossible. If you love seeing teamwork or creative strageties or cute girls being badasses I highly recommend these shows.

Little Girls with Big Weapons.

they are both pretty good both in the story and animation, also, if you liked the action you will like the action on the other one

Grizz says...

If you liked this, you'd definitely like this. Nothings more suiting to Cute Girls riding Tanks than Cute Girls manning Warships!

OAO says...

Girls learn how to WAR in highschool. Both are pretty similar. Interesting to watch.

Gái xinh chơi với vũ khí quân sự. Cả hai đều có cốt truyện khá lôi cuốn và mới mẻ. Cung cấp một lượng thông tin chuyên môn. Là bộ anime nên xem nếu thích các vũ khí quân sự và gái xinh.

JoshuaAmadeus210400 says...

The art of both shows are very beautiful and also the story of the characters' adventures or journey throught adversity is very solid also very exciting which makes you got hook on it.

Sabure says...

Both feature cute high school girls participating in some form of war game. High School Fleet uses WWII destroyers designed as floating schools, while GuP uses WWII tanks for sport. Both feature the concept of teamwork, strategy, and trust between all members to achieve their goals.

SomeGuyAround says...

If you liked the military and strategical part of some teenagers pulling awesome tank strategies. High School Fleet is basically the same but with warships, not the weird thing of girls turning into ships, actual battleships. It's just a lot of micro-management, combat, sea's security related stuff all followed by normal teenagers.

chii says...

If cute girls and "playing" with dangerous war weapons in a school setting are your thing look no further than these 2 titles!

sothis says...

These two titles cater to military otaku - either with tanks or guns - all involving cute girls. Upotte is the far more ecchi of the two, however.

HasseRovdjur says...

Both shows feature plenty of cute schoolgirls and military equipment, and they are also pretty lighthearted. Upotte!! is the more creepy and objectifying of the two, and sports a substantially more plain cast than Girls Und Panzer.

Bestanimeserie says...

Both shows are about girls in wich one show the girls use tanks (girls und panzer) and the other use guns (Upotte!!) so if you like girls with deadly weapons you should like both of these titles. Upotte!! has more comedy and a bit of ecchi while girls und panzer soley focus on girls doing cute things and thanks. If you liked on of these shows you will like the other

Brad says...

Both shows feature cute girls in a military setting. Girls und Panzer focusing on tank warfare, while Upotte!! focuses on gunplay. The latter is considerably more ecchi than the former.

memojuez says...

Both are an enjoyable "Slice of Life" school girl story involving military weapons.   The stories are not only about perfecting their craft be it Panzerfahren or sharp-shooting, but the pains, trials and tribulations of growing up.  Anoher common theme is the value of friendship helping one another overcoming obstacles during the manychallenges of life.

AardvarkRex says...

Cute girls working massive weapons. Both are bound to make artillery/millitary aesthetes happy with their wealth of details and realistic sound design (incidentally, the same subject matter expert/consultant was involved in both). Upotte tends to be more on the ecchi side with a focus on absurdist comedy thanks to its very unusual characters, but still has plenty of big-gun action as well.

Kari5 says...

These shows both gave me the same vibe; they both focus around a talented girl who joins a high school club and enters in a competative tournament with a rookie team. Although the types of tournaments are really different the huge female casts and small amounts of fan-service make me think if you enjoyed one you might enjoy the other.

Betelgeuse says...

Did you like watching those stereotype schoolgirls fighting in inter-school tournaments, with the protagonist and trump card of a new upcoming and yet unknown school being a girl who had first needed to be reteached that playing the game is fun, and all of this together within growing bonds of friendship? Well, that you'll find in this other anime too.

Boriddy says...

Because both animes are about cute girls being in a tournament enviorment for Girls und Panzer it is tanks and for Saki it is Mahjong, they have great humor and good actions.

Brad says...

Both anime start with a girl joining a school and being coerced into joining a club that they have an obvious natural talent for, but for whatever reason each girl has insecurities about joining the club, and are initially resistant to taking part. The girls then soften up and the road to inter-school competition begins!

Both shows feature cute girls in them, with Girls und Panzer possibly being more 'moe'. That said, i'd say the cast is generally more likable than in Saki, although both have quite a varied group of girls.

Really, both anime have almost everything in common with each other, Girls und Panzer is the better executed of the two, but fans of one should enjoy the other a lot.

closetanimefan says...

In both of these  anime the main charcter is a shy girl that gets pushed into a club that she didn't really want to be a part of becuase she is really good at it. She also is doesn't like the "sport" at the begining because of a family history with it, but has an older sister that is really into it and that she has to beat. Throughout the show characters around the main character turn this thing they hated into something they enjoy again. Mahjong and Tankery are different games, but other then that these anime felt very much the same. If you liked one, you should check out the other.

neogalactic54 says...

The sort of slight rivalry between sisters exist in both anime. Furthermore, there is also the competitive element which I find quite similar with all the featuresd moves and tactics.

Brad says...

The new girl at school somehow gets roped into joining a club with a military themed activity. Both shows are fairly light in tone and feature a group of cute, and likable girls as they throw themselves into their respective club activities. Comedy is also at the forefront of each show, with plenty of laughs to be had.

C3-Bu perhaps doesn't have as impressive an activity as the tank warfare in Girls und Panzer, but both manage to make the clubs matches very exciting and fun to watch, with plenty of strategy and passion from the cast.

sothis says...

Girls und Panzer and C3 will appeal to the same audience for sure - cutesy girls doing war/gun-related exercises, assorted comedy episodes, etc.

Rastamepas says...

C3-Bu and GuP are pretty similiar. Both have a new girl at school join a club that involves some sort of action and war game activity. In C3-Bu it's airsoft guns and in GuP it's tanks. If you like a cute girls doing action oriented war games with a light natured/comedy tone I'm sure you enjoy both.

chii says...

If cute girls and "playing" with dangerous "war" weapons in a school setting are your thing look no further than these 2 titles!

Kari5 says...

Fan of young girls in a military setting, without all the violence and blood? Then you'll probably enjoy both of these.

HasseRovdjur says...

Both So-Ra-No-Wo-To and Girls und Panzer sports a cast of teenaged girls doing cute stuff with military equipment. Both are very lighthearted and contain no actual violence or anything like that. They are also very light on fanservice.

Fans of either show would do well to check out the other one.

Coogg says...

Both of these anime have very similar themes and feelings. The characters are also similar, especially Mako and Noel!

Brad says...

If military themed loli action is what you have your heart set on, then look no further than these two series. Each of them follows a diverse cast of girls of all personalities and tropes as they split their time between acting like the usual cute schoolgirls, and blowing their enemies up with their weaponry of choice, be it battleship mecha suits or tanks.

It’s fairly safe to say that KanColle will be taking more of a slice of life approach than Girls und Panzer ever did, with the latter being extremely successful with creating somewhat realistic, and extremely intense battles filled with strategy and fun. KanColle appears to be taking a less serious approach to naval warfare, but it still shows promise of being able to entertain when the girls need to throw down.

So if you enjoyed either of these shows, or just have an interest in slice of life and military themed shows, then these two should really be the perfect place for you to get settled.

Hantajira says...

Great stories centered on a group in a militaristic setting, (AU future, mankind is falling) school-type setting. A new member turns out to be the ace. 

I've found both to be fun and tugging at the heart-strings. Great stories

sothis says...

Cute girls doing military stuff that is highly age-inappropriate, all for fanservice's sake - that sums up Girls und Panzer and Sky Girls alike. I didn't really enjoy either, but they will appeal to the same audience.

USSEnterprise says...

These two have a slight military feel that, reminded me of the Second World War, with Girls und Panzer having Tanks and Arpeggio of Blue Steel Naval ships from that era. Cute girls and tanks, cute girls and Warships. What is there not to like.

SugarTitSenpai says...

Military themed and some tanks in both. think of GuP the more serious Military show, where as Military! is pure comedy shorts

jupchurch says...

If you liked the wonder and excitement of a band of highschoolers getting together and maturing together, you might like this show. It has all the intensity and sweetheartedness that GuP carried the entire series. While focusing more on coming of age and romance Kids on the Slope still delivers a powerful message and a stunning art style that will leave you in tears!

Both shows are intense, active, and will keep you glued to the screen at every moment.
