posted on by Egan Loo
Bandai Visual began streaming about eight minutes of footage from the Girls und Panzer film last week. The footage features the early stages of the film's Battle of Ōarai City.
The film has the following cast members:
Ayumi Fujimura as Megumi
Yuko Iida as Azumi
Mai Nakahara as Rumi
Madoka Yonezawa as Tamada, Chihatan Academy
Naomi Ōzora as Fukuda, Chihatan Academy
Natsumi Takamori as Rosehip, St. Gloriana Girls High School
Jenya as Clara, Pravda Girls High School
Mamiko Noto as Mika, Keizoku High School
Shino Shimoji as Aki, Keizoku High School
Miho Ishigami as Mikko, Keizoku High School
The anime franchise began with a television series that premiered in 2012. The story centers around high school girls who drive tanks that exist in real life, as they compete in teams.
Crunchyroll and Anime Network both streamed the anime outside Japan. An all-new original video anime (OVA) titled "Kore ga Hontō no Anzio-sen Desu!" (This is the Real Anzio Battle!) premiered in Japanese theaters in July 2014, and the anime shipped on DVD and Blu-ray later that month.
The new film in the Girls und Panzer franchise with an all-original story was announced in 2013, although it was initially planned for release last year. The television anime series' Tsutomu Mizushima returned to direct the film, and the main cast also returned.
