Overall Rating 7.7/10 - Great and fun show.
I recommend watching.
Girls und Panzer but Air Force.
This one not as polished as GuP, but that is because it came out earlier that it. Somewhat GuP beta.
This is about girls who fly striker units and fight alien invaders named Neuroi in the alternative reality WWII. Even more twisted than GuP
It has good, well written, war story. That involve both war effort and internal politics within the military. Couple of story twists here and there to prevent you from getting bored.
Much like in GuP there is huge selection on waifus, here they do not wear pants because that is how strikers work. One of the better examples of justifying fan-service story wise.
While they fly fictional striker units, other equipment is actually based on real life stuff. They have real WWII battleships, couple of planes and even weapons, that witches use are actually real life machine guns or anti-tank rifles (for example Boys rifle that Lynne uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_anti-tank_rifle).
They have fictional countries based on real ones, however each country has proper military insignia, such as Air Force roundels that are painted on each striker unit. Red crescent moon on black circle for Fuso(Japan) for example. Battleships of Fuso also fly Rising Moon flag.
Battles are smart, fast paces and often require some tactics to overcome enemies. Strategies are not as sophisticates as in GuP, but still interesting.
Slice of life moments are funny, they are not as cozy as in GuP but nice enough. They are rather comedic instead.
Overall I can recommend both the original and the second season to everyone. Victory Arrow and the Movie is worse somewhat, but not dramatically worse like Kaiji second season. Still watchable.
