The Sensha-do has a fun side to it that we don't always see on the battlefield. Bandai Namco Filmworks revealed Friday that the first film of the four-part project based on the spinoff manga Girls und Panzer: Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu! will include special content. It is a mini-anime titled "Shin Iemoto, Tojo Desu!" (The new leader of the school is coming!), which will be screened right after the main film.
The short story promises tension and comedy. Shiho Nishizumi and Chiyo Shimada, the imposing mothers and leaders of their respective styles, cross paths inside the Sensha-do Federation building. Just as the tension between the two grows, they hear the sound of geta (traditional wooden sandals). Both try to flee immediately, but are caught by a mysterious woman.
Release calendar
The film project will be divided into four parts with the following release dates in Japan:
- Part 1: December 26, 2025.
- Part 2: January 30, 2026.
- Part 3: March 6, 2026.
- Part 4: April 10, 2026.
For the first film, singers ChouCho and Sayaka Sasaki will perform the opening theme song "Nonstop Daydream," while Mai Fuchigami (voiced by Miho Nishizumi) will sing the ending theme song "Oyasuminasai no Tsuzuki Desu!".
The direction is in charge of Masami Shimoda in the P.A. Works and Actas studios. The script is the work of Noboru Kimura and the character design falls back to Humikane Shimada and Isao Sugimoto.
