======================
Overview
======================
About the Game: Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match is a 3rd-person Tank action game based on and around the popular anime/manga/game franchise of the same name. In this game you will be turning your treads and turrets separately, with over 30 WW2 tanks to choose from and 9 commanders each representing a different school. As in the anime you'll be able to drift and sprint in stylish, frantic and exaggerated combat. Dream Tank Match features an Original Story mode where the girls gather to discuss and look back on the events of the animated film. During this story there are many interactions and new conversations between the characters fans of the series have come to love. The game also features 5 Vs. 5 multiplayer, Tank and Crew Customization, plus a "Battle mode" which features randomized tournaments against AI with a special battle against giant BOCO.
Setting and Story Outline: "The story takes place in a universe where historical World War II–era tanks are maintained for sport-style warfare competitions and large carrier ships known as Academy Ships support mobile sea communities. Of the many activities high school girls can participate in, one of the most popular is "sensha-dō" (戦車道, lit. "the way of the tank"), the art of operating tanks, which is considered a traditional martial art.
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." - Wikipedia

F.A.Q.
======================
English Subs you say? How can I purchase this?
- Indeed my good sir, English subs are available in all SEAsia copies. These are the PSN Account Regions with access to the SEAsian PSN Store - Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia. Generally Hong Kong gets the same content as well. To purchase this game then you will need to import a physical copy from Amazon, Ebay, Play-Asia, YesAsia, etc... Or you may create a PSN account from any of the regions listed above and buy it digitally.
Do I need to watch any anime to enjoy this?
- Well, like every other game which is part of another franchise, probably not. It will enhance your experience no doubt though. In that case, the minimum would probably be the 12 Episode anime series, and not essential, but highly recommended the first film, Girls und Panzer der Film.
Thread Title Explained:
- "Keep Calm and Carry On." was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for World War II. Seeing as GuP revolves around WW2 Tanks, I found it fit quite well to alter that slightly compared to other memey titles I was entertaining before stumbling on this little fact. Some titles I considered were "Stug Life," "Hetzers Gonna Hetz," and "You Start by Taking Off Your Clothes" (a reference to when Aya asked the internet how to start her Tank.)

Thread Rules
======================
- Be good to each other, general forum etiquette applies.
- This is not a thread to bemoan the current state of anime, sorry.
- Likewise GuP fans this is not a thread to discuss the anime at length, but it should be okay to speak about the anime in relation to the game.
