Girls & Panzer Film's Theme Singer, Date, Length, New Visual Unveiled

Director ChouCho will perform the theme song.

The announcements were made at a Sunday talk show during the Oarai Spring Festival's 4th Kairaku Festa at Ōarai, the Ibaraki Prefecture town that served as the model for the anime. The talk show revealed that a trailer for the movie will come out in June and limited edition models will soon be available.

A poster with the new visual for the film also debuted on Sunday. It features Miho Nishizumi with a tagline that reads "Take it back."

The new film in the Girls und Panzer franchise with an all-original story was announced in 2013, although it was initially planned for release last year. The television anime series' Tsutomu Mizushima is returning to direct the film. Sunday's talk show featured the cast from the television series who are also reprising their roles for the movie.
