What happens

Girls und Panzer das Finale is a six-part Japanese animated film series and a sequel to Girls und Panzer (2012) and Girls und Panzer der Film (2015). Produced by Actas and distributed by Showgate, the film series is directed by Tsutomu Mizushima from a script written by Reiko Yoshida and features an ensemble cast from previous installments of the franchise. The film series follows the students of Ōarai Girls' Academy helping Momo Kawashima with her university entrance by winning the Winter Continuous Track Cup. With Miho Nishizumi demoting to Vice-Commander to give her commanding position to Momo, Ōarai faces and defeats BC Freedom Academy, Chihatan Gakuen, and Keizoku High School, advancing to the finals against St. Gloriana Girls' College, where Alice Shimada transferred. A sequel project for the franchise was greenlit in August 2016. Although the project was first teased as a standalone film in September 2016, the format was revealed to be a six-part film series in November. The first film in the series was completed four days before its premiere in December 2017. That month, Mizushima began working on the second film, which was completed in June 2019. Production on the third film continued in May 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which was completed in March 2021. Production on the fourth film began in April 2021 and was completed in September 2023. That month, Mizushima began working on the fifth film. Four films in the Girls und Panzer das Finale series have been released in Japan since 2017: Part 1 on December 9, 2017, Part 2 on June 15, 2019, Part 3 on March 26, 2021, and Part 4 on October 6, 2023.
