It has been announced that an original mini-anime, "New Tank Discovered!", will be screened after the end of the third act of the anime "Girls und Panzer: More Love Love Operation!", which is based on the official spin-off manga of the popular anime "Girls und Panzer (Garupan)."

The anime is in four acts, with the first act premiering on December 26th last year and the second on January 30th. The third act will be screened on March 6th, and the fourth act on April 10th.
