The official Twitter account and website for the Girls und Panzer television anime announced that next week's episode has been delayed "due to various circumstances." Instead of episode 6, a special reintroduction episode "5.5" ("Shōkai Shimasu") will air instead. Episode 5.5 will also be included in volume 3 of the Girls und Panzer Blu-ray and DVD release.

As a result of this delay, the final episode will be delayed beyond the scheduled run of the anime. The website, Twittter account, and a notice that will run during episode 11 will report the date and time of the final episode's airing.
