Two anime themed cars, referred to as itashas, with the Girls und Panzer theme are currently up for sale after one of them was revealed in January at the Automobile museum Toyota Auto Salon Amlux and numerous other conventions. The two cars, one a Toyota Prius and the other a Toyota Vitz, will be available for purchase online via a lotto system. From April 2nd to the 14th potential buyers may have a chance to take this car home and show it off to the neighbours and waifus. The winners of the lotto will then speak with officials and undergo business negotiations after the lotto ends on the 14th.
You may have heard of kung fu, but the girls at Oarai High School practice gun-fu—really, really BIG 75mm gun-fu, in fact. It’s called Sensha-do, and it’s the martial art of operating armored tanks! They take it seriously too, and since winning the national Sensha-do championship is such a huge deal at Oarai, they sometimes go to extreme ends in order to get the best students from Panzer class to sign up. Which is how Miho Nishizumi, who HATES operating tanks, gets drafted to join doomsday-driven driver Mako, even-triggered gunner Hana, highly receptive radio operator Saori and combustible tank-fangirl and loader Yukari as the incomparable Anko Team. They may not be on the half-track to fame and fortune, and maybe a few of them would rather shop for tank tops than become tops in tanks, but once their focus is locked and loaded, they’re absolutely driven.
If you want to be in the lotto to win this car you can visit the Toyko Toypet website, who will be overseeing the entire lotto: http://www.tokyo-toyopet.co.jp/u-car/special/girlpan/
Be wary if you do win, driving this car around your neighbourhood may get some weird looks from people.
So which anime themed car would you want to drive?
