    There was a visual novel game, probably over a decade ago… About a boy who went to “tank school” but ended up in a school of girls who were actually ww2 tanks. The funniest part is it was historically accurate to my knowledge. Like the American tank and German tank hated each other and the French tank kept crashing into things and had problems stopping.

      Wait.

      Like… girls with… tankish features and … tank like personalities?

      Or… just literally tanks, like… the school lessons are all taught on … firing range? Or… the class rooms are warehouse sized?

      … What?

      Also… was there a Maus girl/tank?

      Just … what uh… big tready tank gf?

      Oh god this sounds ridiculous lol.

      The german tanks had to be very high maintenance and prissy?

      T34-chan is like, always dressed in random patchwork clothes, screams urraaah, then immediately breaks down, but then fixes herself?

      If this had a Bob Semple girl/tank, I … I need to find this now.

          Ah ok, so human girls with personalities based on tanks… that makes sense, is less insane than like… a literal school of tanks that act lile girls and all try to cram into a classroom.

          Thank you, I will try and check this out sometime, srill seema like a funny premise =P

            The pictures are human girls but they are treated like real tanks. For example they don’t have a nurse, they have a mechanic.

              I mean… Ghost in the Shell SAC, the tachikomas.

              They’re… agender, genderneuter, but… that basically is what they are, sentient tanks with kawaii personalities…

              I think theres one episode that is entirely just them debating free will and agency in what we would now basically call a VR chat lobby, and the whole gang of human characters thinks they are all broken in some way, while in reality they are literally just inert in the real world whilst fully engaged in this virtual discussion… and they conclude this discussion and all go back to normal, and the human cast is … basically dumbfounded, worried that Section 9 was under some kind of cyberattack.

              But generally, yeah they’re… kinda derpy and goofy and you get a fair number of scenes where their massive physical size and non human anatomical configuration basically leads to physicsl comedy when they try to replicate more humanlike behaviors or mannerisms.
