Chihatan grew so much is so little time. Asymmetric warfare is such a pain to deal with.

All battles were a so great,so awesome to watch.Great cuts.

Anglerfish changing positions middle battle. Showing how great they are.

Anzio with so little part is so fun to watch anyways. They trying to defend at the end was fantastic.

This is the best Christmas movie ever.
They gave the koala commander a blanket.This is so great.

Ooarai going to a horrible field to an even more horrible field. Jungle battle is bad, but go to a snowfield against Finnish with a d**m sniper, you just curse your destiny.
And with Anglerfish out, next episode will be high octane crazy if Ooarai going to win.

Managed to watch it on Christmas. Best Christmas gift ever.

The whole movie is mostly action, packed with fresh new tankservice for the fans. Gotta thank the creators for their dedication.

Seeing a KV2 taking out Maus made my day.

The forest background looks sooo good.

Angler getting picked off early is what I always wanted to see, in a guerilla match no less. Momo-chan better earn that scholarship.

Just came across a great review on this third part, it gives a good summary of what happened and also has a lot of good screenshots. I agree with the fact that Anglerfish team got shot down so quickly, it gives the rest of the teams a chance to show their stuff, too.

The 2nd part with the Wild West theme is pretty fun. I'm surprised the gunslingers and cowboys are part of Ooarai instead of Sanders.

My guess is that Azusa, Nekota or Momo that will step up handling Jatkosota.

Azusa has an actual working brain and she truly has some of Miho's capabilities as a tactician or strategist.
Nekota is the flag tank, she'll probably use strategy from games.
Momo is unlikely, but she'll need a working brain to graduate and Shark team only obeys Momo.

But man, Azusa has a great character development throughout the series honestly, if Miho stepped down or graduated, Azusa is definitely Ooarai's new Commander (Azusa is indeed the Vice Commander on Little Army though)

Whoops, Miho got sniped.
Well, I suppose it was predictable, as Miho always ends up "living" or she gets taken out at the end. Let's see how Ooarai deals with not having Anglerfish as their strategist! :O

I remembered that it will take like 2 years again...

Great episode, I feared we would never get a full Continuation battle if they lost their match with Saunders but luckily we finally get to see them for real.

Mihos plot armour run out, she got taken out twice this "episode". How will they manage without their lead? Will Momo actually earn her credit as the official team lead now?

Good to see Erika developing her own way of Senshadou, I bet the final match will be between her and Miho.

Seeing all these characters who are going to graduate makes me feel sad, but it will take half a decade to actually happen, by that time who knows what the plan for this franchise will be. Im still annoyed by the release schedule for this.

I watched the original TV show and 2015 film back in 2019. At the time, only Das Finale Part 1 was out so I waited until now to watch this film series so I could re-watch the show and see these movies for the first time all at once. I had a blast watching these movies! I like how they don't have to rely on the "save the school" plot anymore to deliver intense action-packed battles. Momo's education is the only thing on the line but these battles are still just so exiting! The new characters and environments are all great with the jungle battle in this part being a highlight. Mika's school is pretty but they will put up a tough fight! I will go back to waiting for the last three parts to come out so I can watch the franchise from beginning to end. See you all in around five years!

true, as much BS as that is in itself, but I think Erika taking on Miho seems more fitting overall. Both have similar styles focussed around mobility and flexibility (Erika jumping out of her tank and taking control of the panzer 3 is a very Miho thing to do), it would serve as a way for Erika to truly emancipate herself from the Nishizumi style since Maho isnt around to have a match with her. And I think Oorai never really beating St. Gloria is a joke which will stick around forever.

Of course this could work well as a setup for next years tournament too, but since thats something which would probably take half a decade from now I just dont see it.

I was just very curious with what Jatkosota have to snipe from that far away, since in RL histroy, Finland only have a small list of tank with even fewer tank to snipe other tank.

My best guess for now is it might be su-76 or pzIV, but it being rarely being shown in the show point out it might be something more powerful like a kv-1 with 85mm or su/isu 152 tank

I would like to see an ISU-152 but a hit from that would have done more than just disable Oorais Panzer 4, so maybe its just a Stug 3 after all

I was finally able to watch this. We got the continuation of Chihatan vs Ooarai where Chihatan improved as a team here, they almost got Ooarai there if only they did not celebrated too early when they were able to take down Anglerfish.

2nd half was a brief battle of the other schools to determine the seeding of the next round. And then we had the start of the battle between Ooarai and Continuation where Ooarai fell into the trap and the Anglerfish taken down (again) but this time early on the match. It would be interesting how Ooarai will be able to pull this up. I guess we'll find out in 2 years time.


I'm guessing that it will be a Ooarai vs St. Gloriana in the finals. Erika might have created her own senshadou but that wouldn't be enough to defeat St. Gloriana. Plus I want a rematch between Darjeeling and Miho.

This is what happened when you make something out of your passion. It looks damn good!!!
The actions keeps getting better each movie. It is not only about the quality but about the creativity or the concept or the choreography. I don't know where did he/she get the reference from or how did he/she came up with that idea but i'm so impressed.

One of the things that i like about the plot is that, this time, there is no angler, or miho to help the team, which is even more harder because the continuation school flag tank and the sniper are both still present. I'm so looking forward on how they will win the match without Miho. They are going to proof that Ooarai is not all about Miho anymore.

And when they win that match, they will fight the british like the first season all over again. But this time they are going to win it. They failed the second time in the beginning of the movie. But this time they are going to take the dub. love it

Speaking of tanks, the bouncing missile, is that real ? or is it just a fiction ? because I love that one scene i wish it was real.

All the best parts of the movie had Erika in them. Take your pick:
1. Erika kicking it in high gear to the tune of 'Erika'. (been waiting for that)
2. Erika doing some jutsu while commanding the PZ. III.
3. Happy Erika.

I think most indicators point towards a finale between Miho and Erika. Erika and Miho have a much longer history together, not to mention Erika's rivalry (& animosity?) towards Miho was never completely resolved. Keep in mind Erika even got her own spin-off manga showing the roots of this. Not to mention Erika adopting a more mobile fighting style in the PZ III would make a better matchup than Darj's Churchill for the PZ. IV. in a final bout.

Also, tea lady bad.

To be honest I expected this development in the chihatan battle. They were to take anglerfish early and then momo-chan gets the chance to shine as commander.

As much it seems the finals will be erika vs miho, it would be nice if it's st gloriana, they are 2-0 and they were their first match and now the last.

About Ooarai's opponent in the final (we know they will still win right ?), I am still waiting for Alice's reappearance. I thought at first that sniper was Alice, but it is not.
Between two other schools left, I feel that it make more sense plotwise for her to join St. Gloriana. Kuroromine with Erika probably make more sense plotwise as final opponent than St. Gloriana (despite the fact that they defeated Ooarai) without Alice. But with Alice it will make a better final.

I know Oorai will win since they are the main characters, but I can't wait for that BT-42 and white death fanservice.

This was easily the best girls und panzer episode/movie so far, but it seems 4 could top it. Can't wait.

Chihatan really grew a lot as a tank company. They gave Ooarai the longest battle they've had. Coming out new strategies after strategies. If it wasn't Ooarai they were up against in that map, they would have won early. St. Gloriana is still as cool as always. Jatkosota seems to have changed tactics from high speed cavalry charges to more elaborate bait and traps. Erika going back to her roots as Ace Tanker instead of Company Commander.

With Miho's team out of the picture, can they still win? They probably can lose this match but give Jatkosota a good run. Turtle Team hasn't really started getting serious yet and Rabbit Team will always find a loophole in enemy defense. I kind of wonder what Hippo Team, Anteater Team will do. Hippo Team had been out of the spotlight for awhile. We know Leopon is the Ooarai's vanguard and the two duck teams are scouts and dukers. Shark team will probably play a crucial role because of the Chihatan match they got taken out first. Miho's Anglerfish team both played as Company Commander and Ace Tanker so someone has to step up to those positions

GuP is always a pleasure to watch xD I still wonder how do they have so many ideas to make those battles exciting.

Still can´t believe KV-2 took out Maus that easily xD

It´s impressive how they are able to zoom in and out the camera and keep on check with the proportions, even the details of the sheels from a long camera distance is very well done. The sound effects also very nice as usual, specially the surround effect.

Seeing that Porsche tiger tank drifting in the OP was so funny!

So unfortunate of Chi-Ha-Tan. They nearly won but got too focused on taking down Nishizumi's tank. They forgot about the Hetzer. Haha! Nonetheless, that was a good battle! And Commander Nishi is so beautiful!

I can't get enough of that Maus tank. So far, this is the only show I know of that has ever showcased it. It's a failure of a tank, but it's still my all-time favorite, and it's so badass! I used to play it a lot in World of Tanks. It's too bad the Maus didn't angle its turret when they were charging. The enemy was able to do a shot trap against it.

Holy shit! I never thought I would see a VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B7 in action! This show is so awesome for animating that experimental tank. I've only seen it in World of Tanks. It's also my favorite tank. I owned so much in it. It gets easier opponents than the Maus, and I can use the rear turret design to fire at my enemies while protecting my frontal weak spot while hiding in corners.

It's too bad the Pravda team didn't deploy IS-3 and IS-7 tanks.
They are watching The Great Escape 1963 movie. Haha! Those scenes are all so memorable!
Damn, Jatkosota High has Simo's girl version in their team. Nishizumi is out already? What a cliffhanger of an ending.
I'm looking forward to part 4!
