OVA
Description
Anzu Kadotani serves as student council president at Ooarai Girls Academy during the series. Facing the school's imminent closure due to financial strain and low enrollment—a secret initially withheld from students—she spearheads the revival of the Sensha-dō team as a final countermeasure. Her primary motivation is a fierce devotion to the school, though she privately acknowledges a possible personal interest in Sensha-dō itself.
Exuding a manipulative and carefree demeanor, Anzu often appears lazily indolent. She is frequently observed snacking on sweet dried potatoes, even amidst Sensha-dō matches. Despite this seemingly lax attitude, she adeptly delegates responsibilities, heavily relying on Vice-President Yuzu Koyama for council duties. This outward persona effectively masks her competent management style, enabling her to micromanage while projecting ease.
Her leadership manifests in decisive, occasionally ruthless actions. She pressures Miho Nishizumi to join the team with the ominous statement that refusal means Miho "won't be here for long," later revealed to reference the school's closure, not a personal threat. Anzu forms and commands the Turtle Team within a Panzer 38(t) light tank alongside council members Momo Kawashima and Yuzu Koyama. During the national tournament semi-final against Pravda, she reveals unexpected marksmanship, taking over as gunner to immobilize two tanks and damage others at close range before being knocked out. Before the finals against Kuromorimine, she secures a conversion kit to modify their tank into a Hetzer tank destroyer, utilizing sharpshooting skills to cripple multiple enemy tanks.
In the Anzio OVA, she participates in strategic planning against Anzio Girls High School. She dismisses rumors about Anzio's secret weapon with characteristic nonchalance, relying on Yukari Akiyama's intelligence to confirm the existence of a P40 heavy tank, primarily providing oversight rather than direct command during the match.
Following Ooarai's tournament victory, she emotionally hugs Miho in gratitude. Her team wins the "Hidden Talent Contest" at the celebratory banquet, the prize of dried potatoes delighting her. During "Der Film," she negotiates with government officials, securing a decisive Sensha-dō match against a university team that ties Ooarai's survival to another victory. By "Das Finale," she steps down as president, facilitating a new council led by Hana Isuzu, and transitions to Ooarai Girls Academy Chairman. This move partly supports Momo Kawashima's pursuit of a Sensha-dō scholarship for university admission, with both Anzu and Yuzu applying to Shimofusadai National University.
Background notes include her election as student council president alongside Momo and Yuzu during her first year. Her name, meaning "apricot," aligns with the Turtle Team's fruit/vegetable naming theme. Her birthday is January 1st, and her favorite tank is the T28 Super Heavy Tank.
