A cowardly tank stumbles through war like it's apologizing for existing. The flash animation looks cheap on purpose, the soundtrack sounds like it was composed by someone having a breakdown in a synth lab, and somehow this becomes the most honest anti-war statement anime has ever made. Comedy isn't the point. The tank's terror is the point. Its refusal to fight, its absolute soft panic when violence shows up, exposes how absurd the entire machine of warfare actually is. You laugh because the alternative is rage.
A tank that would rather flee than fight rolls through an absurd world where combat and comedy collide. Soft and cowardly, this unlikely war machine is nothing like what a tank is supposed to be. Each short flash episode plays up the gap between the role of a tank and the timid nature of this one, finding humor in how wrong the setup is. A strange, offbeat soundtrack adds to the oddness. Beneath the jokes runs an ironic take on war, which helped the series catch on across the Internet.
