A mediocre spin-off consisting mostly of unfunny jokes, fan service, and yuri bait. At the time of writing this only three of the twelve episodes have aired and I have not read the manga. For the sake of brevity I'm going to refer to Girls und Panzer: Motto Love Love Sankusen Desu! as 'MLLSD' from now on. The central problem with MLLSD is that it attempts to adapt a 4-panel manga into 20 minute episodes. This is something that is hard to do well as a show can run the risk of feeling both stretched out and unfocused. MLLSD suffers from both of theseproblems. The show jumps around to focus on various members of GuP's gigantic ensemble cast which I can't criticise too much as this is the main premise but it still makes the show feel somewhat disjointed. A lot of the skits are repetitive and go on for far too long, almost like they're trying to pad out the run-time or didn't have enough material to adapt. This is not helped by the fact that most of the show is just generally unfunny and is at times outright hard to watch. There are some good scenes here and there but even when the show is at its best the skits still tend to overstay their welcome. The constant fan service is a little off-putting and sort of feels out of place as there is almost none in the main series. The yuri elements are a thing.... It mostly takes the form of ship baiting for the sake of either comedy or fan service. Around a dozen characters are either outright confirmed or heavily implied to be romantically interested in one-another. This raises the question of how seriously we're supposed to take these interactions and if they're canon or not.

The series feels like a missed opportunity to explore more side characters in depth. One of the major drawbacks of the main series is the lack of character development outside of the Ankou Team and a few others. This is an unavoidable result of the show's premise as each tank needs four to five crew members on average, and so in order to have large tank battles the show needed a large cast. While plenty of characters in MLLSD get a moment in the spotlight almost none of them get any more characterisation than what we've already seen. There's also the issue of whether this show is canon or not. There's a fair amount of tonal whiplash with some scenes feeling as though they could fit right into the main series, like Miho and Erika's interaction in episode three, while others are cartoonishly absurd like Anchovy's interaction with Andou and Oshida.

Is MLLSD worth watching? If you're really into GuP and are desperate for content until Das Finale Part 5 comes out, then sure, give it a watch. If you happen to be new to the series then my opinion would definitely be 'Not Recommended'. This show would be a terrible introduction to Girls und Panzer as it contains spoilers for the main series and gives no introduction to any of the characters as the audience is assumed to know who they are already. If you only have a passing interest in the series and are just looking for supplemental material to explore, then any of the manga spin-offs would be a better place to start.
