Girls und Panzer der Film (ガールズ＆パンツァー 劇場版?) is a 2015 Japanese animated school action drama science fiction film directed by Tsutomu Mizushima. The film is a sequel of the anime television series Girls und Panzer. It was released on November 21, 2015 in Japan.
The film begins during an exhibition match commemorating Ōarai Girls High School's victory in the 63rd sensha-dō tournament. After a lengthy battle, the joint team of Ōarai and Chihatan Academy is defeated by the combined St. Gloriana and Pravda team, largely due to the reckless charges by the Chihatan team. Upon returning to the Ōarai school carrier, Anzu informs the team that despite their victory in the tournament, the Ministry of Education will not honor their promise to keep the school open, claiming that it was just a verbal agreement with no legal standing. The school ship is then seized for decommissioning but with help from Saunders, the sensha-dō team manage to keep their tanks out of the government's hands.
Some time later, at Anzu's urging, Ami Chouno brings the matter to Maho and Miho's mother Shiho Nishizumi, who realizes that Kuromorimine won't be able to have a rematch against Ōarai should the latter close down, and helps Anzu convince the Ministry to reconsider by threatening to pull Kuromorimine from the upcoming World Tournament. The Ministry agrees to hold a match between Ōarai and a university sensha-dō team, this time with a written contract to ensure that Ōarai will not be closed should their team win. However, the rules put Ōarai's team at a great disadvantage, as they must face a team composed of select university students led by child prodigy Alice Shimada, fielding thirty tanks against Ōarai's eight, and held using elimination rules, which require the winning team to eliminate every enemy tank.
Despite the odds stacked against them, Ōarai's team does not back down and shows up for the match, but before it begins, to the surprise of all, students from Saunders, Kuromorimine, Anzio, St. Gloriana, Pravda, Chihatan and Keizoku High School appear and take advantage of a loophole in the agreement to join as temporary Ōarai transfer students, evening out the teams' numbers. The match begins with the university team taking the advantage with their superior firepower and skill, forcing Ōarai to retreat to an abandoned amusement park even after destroying the university's Karl-Gerät self-propelled mortar tank. There, however, Ōarai makes use of the park's attractions to confuse and ambush the university team's tanks, turning the tide in their favor.
