Girls und Panzer das Finale – Part 3 · review
--- The review contains spoilers --- Far better than Das Finale Part 1 and 2! The story continues with Chihatan vs Oarai. But we also get to see the other schools battle it out.Kuromorimine vs Pravda, Keizoku vs Sanders, and Gloriana vs Anzio.
It’s pretty obvious who is gonna win but SPOILERS (stop reading if you don’t wanna be spoiled)
Ok, so obviously Oarai wins because they are the main characters, but the match was really close. In fact, Oarai loses more tanks than Chihatan and almost loses. The long chase scenes inside the tropical forest was amazing. I got a lot of WW2 Pacific vibes.
Gloriana beats Anzio (obviously)
Kuromorimine defeats Pravda because Das Finale is as much about Erika learning to command her forces in the absence of her beloved senpai, as it is about Miho trying to get her senpai into university. Erika learns to stop trying to imitate Maho, and find her own identity and tactics. It’s obvious Erika is gonna beat Gloriana and be the final boss battle character of Das Finale.
Keizoku defeats Sanders, because the plot demands so. Das Finale is about Oarai fighting schools they previously haven’t, so this was also obvious. However, the way in which they won was a pleasant surprise. Apparently they have a character based on the “White Death” who can snipe using tanks from really long range.
Das Finale ep 3 ends with Oarai vs Keizoku, and Miho’s tank being taken out by this new sniper character.
Overall I really enjoyed Das Finale 3. I think it was far better than 1 or 2. It was really surprising to see Miho’s tank taken out twice in the same episode.
