=== Plot ===
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'' and they enter a national championship, facing off against various other schools, in a competition that becomes a serious matter after Miho and the others learn that their school will be closed should they not win.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ga.sbcr.jp/manime/020177/ |title='美少女×戦車'の新作TVアニメ「ガールズ＆パンツァー」! |publisher=GA Graphic |language=ja |date=May 17, 2012 |access-date=October 4, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120521000552/http://ga.sbcr.jp/manime/020177/|archive-date=2012-05-21}}</ref>

In 2017, scholar Takayoshi Yamamura described the series as a key example of cooperation between the [[JSDF]] and anime productions, noting that the production staff gathered important information with the help of the [[JGSDF]], even riding in a tank at the JGSDF Ordnance School. The show was also helped by the JSDF's Ibaraki Provincial Cooperation Office. However, events which exhibited JSDF tanks drew criticism from the [[Japanese Communist Party]] but were supported by the newspaper, ''[[Sankei Shinbun]]''. Additionally, Yamamura noted that Ground Staff Office of the Ground Self-Defense Force public relations department praised attendance at such events as demonstrating the "effect of the popularity of battle tanks."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Yamamura |first=Takayoshi |date=2017 |title=Cooperation Between Anime Producers and the Japan Self-Defense Force: Creating Fantasy and/or Propaganda? |journal=Journal of War & Culture Studies |volume=12 |issue=1 |pages=8–23 |doi=10.1080/17526272.2017.1396077 |hdl=2115/74922 |s2cid=165803736 |hdl-access=free}}</ref>
