NTA but Girls und Panzer is honestly one of my favorite anime of all time. It has no business being as good as it is, the concept is absurd, but it is clearly a passion project for the studio and they give it their all. I am obsessed with it. Only anime I've ever bought merch for, not just physical media. The series is quite good, the movie is excellent. They're still releasing more stuff with the "das Finale" story arc over six more lengthy OVAs (kind of a second season).
It helps if you are familiar with WW2 history, but it's not necessary. You'll just get a ton more out of it as it's filled to the brim with references, parody, and random historical artifacts which may or may not be obvious. But it's all done with such sincerity and love. They embrace only positive stereotypes of other countries. The characters are a lot of fun, regardless of your historical knowledge, and it's a compelling enough story on its own.
Very cute girls, power of friendship, but also not afraid to deal with some more serious stuff from time to time. And you can really go down the rabbit hole with the fandom if you want to. I've honestly never been a part of a more enthusiastic fandom for OC, or real life stuff (donating to preserve historical tanks, anime pilgrimages)
