I haven't even decided if I like the anime yet, but new games are good.

The synopsis of the anime totally put me off giving it a try. Girls and tanks... sounds very gun-otaku.

Is it actually any good? For those of us without the love for big guns and heavy machinery.

Hicken3847d ago

Tank otaku wouldn't at all be a bad way of describing it. But it does get a bit deeper.

Essentially, girls go to school to learn how to wage battles with tanks. That's the most basic of the basics of the premise. But it's rare for a squad to be made up completely of the same type of tank, and the main characters don't exactly have the best models ever or anything like that, so they wind up having to rely quite a bit on strategy.

If you're not really into tanks, it's probably not your thing. For me, though, as somebody who loves all sorts of tech and was obsessed in my younger years with the tech and weapons of WWI and WWII, I enjoy it quite a bit.

So its a strategy game with cute anime girls? Everything is better when you put the cute anime girl filter over things.

coolasj3847d ago

It's the best show that's not supposed to be good ever. It's a huge cult hit because it knows how to stay within it's own boundaries. It's not a masterpiece but it is amazing. Like... The Puppeteer.

N4GCB3847d ago

You've got that exactly right, "It's the best show that's not supposed to be good ever." is literally the best description for it.

PANZER VOR! I also want season 2 for the anime. ^o^

The 6 Best Japanese Games We Gaijin Didn't Get Last Year

"A couple of these games have been announced for localization, though the fact remains that they hit Japan while arriving nowhere else, and I'm a man of facts. So lemme tellya 'bout six pretty neat games that you can either look forward to in 2015, shake your fist at the sky angrily, pine for while you moisten your pillow with tears, or just force out of your mind forever.

...Because your heart can't take the breaking anymore." -GR

Yakuza Ishin is a damn must-have for samurai fans.

JonnyBigBoss3429d ago

Dragon Quest needs to come to the states.

ftwrthtx3429d ago

NIS America needs to step it up and grab these for localization.

slinky1234563429d ago (Edited 3429d ago )

Really want Oreshika. SCEJ hasn't been disappointing lately and this seems like a very fun JRPG. Girls and Panzer I've actually heard some good things, so I'm excited for that too.

Ninte3428d ago

This is 2015 people why are the games not localised to the west. We put up with their BS for to long

(PSVita Exclusive) Girls & Panzer Review – Tank You Very Much | PSLS

"Underneath all the schoolgirl 'animu' tropes lies a legitimately entertaining, enjoyable game. Don’t let the school skirts and high-pitched voices fool you; this game kicks ass." -PSLS

Why aren't there more tank warfare games?

Wedge193601d ago

Seems like a fairly fun tank game!

Protagonist3601d ago

Looks good, some of the screenshots kinda reminds me (to a small extent) of valkyria chronicles.

knifefight3600d ago

Visual similarities are because of anime and tanks though, it should be noted.
Both are great games, but Valkyria is a turn-based tactical RPG whereas this is purely a third-person shooter. :)

Vita-exclusive Girls & Panzer – 50+ Screenshots of the Cutest Tank Warfare Ever

"PS Vita’s Girls & Panzer (with the “&” pronounced “und”) has been blasting Japanese gamers since June 26, and I’ve been happily playing it while working on a review. The last battle is kind of nuts, though, or I might just be ready to do it now." -PSLS

Hmm, the N4G translation of the title is wrong. It should be "Master the way of the tank" or "Master Tankery." The "dou" can mean road, but in this case, it means "way of," just like how "Bushidou" means "way of the warrior."

Game translations aside, it's a solid game. Wish we had more tank battle games.

Inception3616d ago

Yeah me too. I really want to play games that have tanks in it. I mean, i had a blast using & customized my tanks in Valkyria Chronicles.

Hopefully Namco will localize it. They on fire lately localizing Tales, Sword Art Online, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, etc. I don't mind if they only put digital ver.

Warthunder on PS4 bra, t'is ace

Lifewish3617d ago

I really liked the anime so I am very interested in reading the review when you are done.

JonnyBigBoss3617d ago

I previously never heard of this.

Alinea3616d ago

Wedge193615d ago

Tank warfare is adorable, but only in Japan.
