[Buckeye]

So Miho chooses to go to a school which is supposed to not require girls to take tankery classes, only to find out that it was reinstated. It looks like Miho's mother died in an accident while operating a tank, so no wonder Miho wanted nothing to do with tanks. But after being threatened by an authoritative student council and in wanting her close friends to not wimp out for her sake, she decides to take it on. And it turns out that the town is on a huge ship out in the Pacific.

Great first episode, and I was expecting it to be more Girls und Pantsu instead of Girls und Panzer being a show like Strike Witches with the skirts, or something dumb like Upotte. But there is none of that fluff, and the first episode sets Miho up as a character who is trying to run away from her past. Instead, after being pressured by the student council, it turns out that she has the potential to blow the competition, but needs the right mindset for that to happen.
