I finally had a couple of hours to devote to Girls und Panzer der Movie<\/em><\/strong>. Quick reaction: If you liked the original series, you’ll like this. If you found the original too implausible to enjoy, this is no different. For those who haven’t seen the original: if the idea of watching high school girls engage in the recreational equivalent of war with real WWII tanks sounds like fun, check out the series here<\/a>. If you like it, then track down the movie. You can watch the movie first, I suppose, but it will make less sense and you’ll miss the significance of the various characters’ actions. I don’t have time to write a proper review, but there are reviews here<\/a> and here<\/a> (beware: the latter has many spoilers that aren’t hidden).<\/p>\n

As Steven guessed, one of the highlights for me was a lively Finnish polka with kantele and accordion in the soundtrack. The movie’s makers didn’t pick the tune at random; “S\u00e4kkij\u00e4rven polkka<\/a>” has a little history behind it. To make Steven happy, I’m placing the tune below the fold.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
