AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special in chronological story order, mark optional entries, say where to start, and are maintained by signed-in fans with versioned edits that can be reverted (15 entries in this order).

The Girls und Panzer watch order is easy to get wrong because one OVA belongs in the middle of the TV series. Start with Episodes 1-7 of the 2012 series, where Miho Nishizumi reluctantly joins Oarai Girls' Academy's revived tankery team, then watch This Is the Real Anzio Battle!, the 2014 OVA that shows the Anzio match the series skips, before Episodes 8-12 and the tournament final. Girls und Panzer der Film (2015) follows the TV series. The das Finale films, a six-part theatrical series, come next: Parts 1-5 are out, the fifth having opened in October 2026, and Part 6 has no date yet. The short comedy OVAs bundled with the Blu-rays (the OVA Series, Alice War!, Taiyaki War!, Daikon War! and Taichou War!) are optional and sit after the work they came with. Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!, the 2026 comedy spin-off, is optional and listed last.

## Recommended first watch

Watch TV episodes 1-7, the Anzio Battle OVA (2014), episodes 8-12, then der Film (2015) and das Finale Parts 1-5 (2017-2026).

The short Blu-ray OVAs and the 2026 Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu! spin-off are optional. das Finale Part 6, the last film, has no date yet.
