There is only one reason why you should watch this anime: To watch girls blow the living crap out of each other in tanks!
On the outside it looks adorable, but on the inside, past the surface, they are metal A. F.! (Word-play intended!)
Pros:
*This is a must-watch if you are infatuated with tanks or World War II.
*Minimal (if any) fanservice at all.
*The characters' designs are aesthetically pleasing.
*If you are looking for something to watch while exercising on the treadmill, then this would be an appropriate pick. It does not require much cerebral thought or mental involvement, yet it has just enough action in it to get you pumped!
Cons:
*There isn't that much of a narrative. They do not really explore anything other than "what would happen if we put high school girls in a tank and have them fight other tanks?"
*There is some back story, but not necessarily quite as much as one might hope. The main back story comes in the form of flashbacks.
*The realism goes in and out in places. This anime has particularly become notorious as a meme across the internet community for following "anime logic" with respects to its tank battles. This might be a pro or a con, depending on whichever perspective you view it from.
