No kidding. I hate it when anime release OVA/Films like episodes in a series but spread them out over years. These could work fine as stand alone movies if the editing wasn't ass backwards. The least they could do is not leave every movie with a poorly placed cliffhanger. BC should have been the soul focus of the first movie/OVA. The run time of that felt too short anyway. This one feels longer while only being ten minutes more because it's like two movies gutted and smashed together. Each movie should really focus on a different team. Start by building up to the new team, introduce them, have the battle, and finish that battle by the end of the episode/movie. You'd think that'd be common sense? Instead it seems what they're doing will just deflate the tension/build up from the previous movie, while giving each movie itself a disappointing and abrupt non-ending. Part 2 seemed like it'd focus on BC, but they're out about a quarter in.
It was nice how in the first movie, BC caught onto Ooarai's intel gathering and used that against them. I thought that was a clever and well done twist. BC acted to be a shitty team full of in-fighting that could very well take themselves out, but we find out it was just a ruse to screw with Ooarai's tactics. We then wait years to find out BC is a shitty team full of in-fighting that could very well take themselves out... Okay.
With part 2 meanwhile it's pretty obvious Ooarai will beat Chi-Ha-Tan by charging at them, and make Chi-Ha-Tan feel like fools for not being true to their charging obsessed nature. But god forbid they put the climax and resolution at the end of the movie!
Girls und Panzer Das Finale part 02, essentially puts the second act first, the third act in the middle, and ends with the first act of what should be a different movie/ep. This can work if you're watching all of these back to back, but not when they're years apart in a film like format in theaters and everything. It's like watching OVA that want to be films but act like OVA.
That said, There's no shortage of fun action, it sounds fantastic in 5.1, it's very well animated and choreographed, and I thought the segment that showed the other team's battles was great. The plot could use some work and felt lacking in part2, but it's not exactly the plot that people are lining up to see here anyway. I just wish these were properly edited with actual starts and ends.
