{"product_id":"girls-und-panzer-complete-book","title":"Girls und Panzer Complete Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGirls und Panzer Complete Book\u003c\/strong\u003e is the official companion guide and art collection for the original 2012 anime television series \u003cem\u003eGirls und Panzer\u003c\/em\u003e, published by Gakken. Spanning 176 full-color B5-sized pages, the book brings together everything a fan of the series could want in a single volume: character profiles and concept designs, a full story digest, an episode guide covering all 12 episodes plus the OVA, production screen caps, staff and cast interviews, and an extensive section dedicated to the real-world military hardware that makes the series tick — including tank configuration data, design references, and historical background on the vehicles featured in the show. It's equal parts animation production document and military reference, which perfectly reflects the dual appeal of \u003cem\u003eGirls und Panzer\u003c\/em\u003e itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGirls und Panzer\u003c\/em\u003e is an original anime series directed by Tsutomu Mizushima and written by Reiko Yoshida, set in a world where competitive tank warfare — called sensha-dō, or \"the way of the tank\" — is practiced as a traditional school sport by girls' academies. The series follows Miho Nishizumi, a girl from a prestigious tankery family who transfers to Ooarai Girls Academy hoping to leave that world behind, only to be pulled back in when the school revives its long-dormant sensha-dō club. What distinguishes \u003cem\u003eGirls und Panzer\u003c\/em\u003e from its contemporaries is the genuine affection for real armored vehicle history baked into every frame — the tanks are accurate, the tactics have real historical precedent, and the match-ups are clearly designed by people who know their WWII armor. The \u003cem\u003eComplete Book\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive companion to that effort, offering production detail that rewards both the casual fan and the military history enthusiast equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published by Gakken in 2013, the \u003cem\u003eComplete Book\u003c\/em\u003e covers the full original TV run and has become a go-to reference for collectors and fans of the franchise. A separate \u003cem\u003eGirls und Panzer der Film Complete Book\u003c\/em\u003e was later published to cover the 2015 theatrical film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOther Notable Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTsutomu Mizushima (Director):\u003c\/strong\u003e Another (Anime), Shirobako (Anime), Squid Girl (Anime)   \u003cstrong\u003eReiko Yoshida (Series Composition):\u003c\/strong\u003e K-On!, A Silent Voice, The Ancient Magus' Bride   \u003cstrong\u003eActas (Animation Studio):\u003c\/strong\u003e Girls und Panzer der Film, Girls und Panzer: Das Finale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/strong\u003e ガールズ＆パンツァー コンプリートブック (Girls und Panzer Complete Book) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Title:\u003c\/strong\u003e Girls und Panzer Complete Book \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tsutomu Mizushima \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reiko Yoshida \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnimation Studio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Actas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gakken \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Softcover (B5) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4054057942 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-4054057944 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Ages \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Animation Guide \/ Art Book, Military, Comedy, Action\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt books are assumed VG+ or better unless otherwise noted.
