3rd PV showed what looked like a Wartburg. Probably more Eastern bloc cars on the way since it's set in an ersatz East Berlin. |

Finally got around to see the first episode... I'm pretty sure @mok is holding off from posting it since we didn't get the best view, but there's a ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2022-04-10 19:00:58 |

![]() (From Ep.2's end credits, edit done for emphasization) So the show credited the Japanish Trabant Klub for some sort of cooperation... Presumably they're on advisory roles for what kind of cars should be running around in Berlin't. (As a side note, I came across their preserved Trabi last November at a car show in Osaka ![]() ![]() ![]() |

They should be aware that their name should correctly be "Japanischer Trabant Klub" Without the 'er' is usually used in place names for differentiating between colonial past, or two similar countries' governments. (i.e. 'Deutsch-Ostafrika' 'Chinesisch Taipei' 'Französisch Guyana') |

A pink AFV "shows up" in Episode 11, but I suspect it's not real unlike the stylized Fishbed to the left...![]() Stylized DB5 from the ending sequence... No points for guessing what it's a reference to ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2022-07-01 12:15:56 |

I don't know, but it's probably unlikely. Besides, i have the impression that the anime shows some percentage of vehicles driving in the GDR ... not to mention all of them. Apart from Trabants, Wartburgs, Barkas and Czaika, there were also Škoda, Tatra, Polski Fiat, Lada, Moskvitch, Zaporozhets, Dacia, Zastava, Żuk (Nysa was exported to West Germany, not GDR!) and TV (xD). Without the Volga, which was the obligatory "prop" for every, I repeat, EVERY full-fledged spy movie from Cold War era, is this a 100% full-fledged spy anime? Also, did you know that Trabants were exploited not only in the GDR, but also in other countries of the Eastern bloc, and not very successful attempts were made to export to the West? In the 1980s, sales began to decline even in the Eastern Bloc as there were much more modern cars than the Trabant. In Poland and Czechoslovakia at that time, work was done on front-wheel-drive hatchback cars, which would probably result in the complete end of the Trabant export, which would only go to the domestic market... if communism did't collapse. It seems many Japanese don't know about this. |
