But oh crap, that means I have to buy a PSV... what a great reason to buy a new system. It also depends. Is it Platoon based or just another shooter? Quote:
That being said... Mitsubishi is responsible for a vast majority of JSDF heavy equipment. So I have to give them credit for that. They still build $h!tty cars though - Tak

With the tie-ins with both World of Tanks and Mitsubishi I have to think that Girls und Panzer is more widely popular than your average anime, unless this isn't so unusual for an anime show in Japan?

Product tie-ins aren't unusual for popular shows, so no. Girls und Panzer's popular appeal DID blindside many people however, and some are still living in denial that a show about cute girls and tanks having multi-demographic appeal AND being a bestseller it isn't possible.

For example, regular anime fans aren't going to be very big on Mitsubishi automobiles. But hardware/gadget/military fans are much more likely to be potential customers.

In the mid-90s, it was Evangelion. In early 2000, there was Gundam SEED/Destiny, and in 2007 ~ 2010, Macross Frontier. Hell, Sheryl Nome had tie-ins with Mitsubishi (Lancer) and even her own jewelry line. - Tak

On an unrelated but related note. A recent episode of National Geographic's Megafactories focused on Wargaming.net. You'll find it somewhere if you search for it.
http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...ies-wargaming/ And there are many other companies that serve the same example. Although they originated from the same company & name, over the years they formed subsidiaries or were divided and turned into completely different companies which serve a different industrial sector and work with very different standards. And most of the time they end up with different owners, and even if they share the namesake they don't have any relationship whatsoever. Other examples include Saab and Rolls-Royce.

The latest Inside the Chieftain's Hatch explicitly mentions that you can't make a Hetzer by dropping a superstructure onto a Pz38t chassis. (Because of GuP.)

Well, technically ThyssenKrupp (Krupp, Pz IV) would be even more appropriate, but they're not a car company. I'd figure that Daimler, though, would go to great lengths to avoid their WWII history being brought up in any context. But who knows? Maybe a German car company wouldn't mind a fresh angle into the Japanese market that this anime may provide. |

Miho confirmed for April 2014. No further news on the other members or the tank, sadly...though I think the commander's seat and turret hatch is nice.
