The anime's official blog also announced that a premiere event will be held on November 20, the day before the film opens throughout Japan. The cast will appear at the Shinjuku Wald 9 theater in Tokyo, and 21 theaters will stream the event live. In addition, the previous television series and original video anime project will run in a marathon on the Niconico streaming service on November 1. The fourth drama CD went on sale on Wednesday.

The anime franchise began with a television series that premiered in 2012. The story centers around high school girls who drive tanks that exist in real life, as they compete in teams.

Crunchyroll and Anime Network both streamed the anime outside Japan. An all-new original video anime (OVA) titled "Kore ga Hontō no Anzio-sen Desu!" (This is the Real Anzio Battle!) premiered in Japanese theaters in July 2014, and the anime shipped on DVD and Blu-ray later that month.
