According to various sources, Wargaming is supporting, and will support the Girls und Panzer final theater series. A mod will be released later.
For those unaware, Girls und Panzer (or GuP for short) is a high school anime about girls driving tanks as part of their curriculum. This noble way of the tank, senshado (or Panzerfahren as some like to call it) is done with replicas which supposedly have nigh impenetrable crew compartments.
Coinciding with the movie release in Russia, on April 5th, the official WG mod portal will be graced with a cosmetic mod for all willing to have a pink anglerfish on their Pz IV or whatnot.
One of the devs, Yuri Kuryavyi said:
We gladly support Girls und Panzer, whose creators have a high attention to authenticity of the armored vehicles. We’re sure that the anime fans among our tankers will be happy to download the mod.
the sound design especially of the film and the show in general is phenomenal.

I would rather purchase the tanks themselves on PC rather than mod current tanks… How hard is it to reskin a Pz IV? You basically reskin your new tier 8’s before release anyway…

Some in the WoWs community reacted poorly to the Arpeggio/Haifuri projects as well, same as when they released the Patriot and Liberte in WoT – MUH REALISM and all that crap.

Because it is gayuru. You can watch your animated underdage tanker girls and play your mods, but I rather not have them introduced as content for me. I’m the kind that has a wife and not a waifu, because I’m not a delusional loser that thinks anime are real.

As much as I like the GuP I’d hate to see them mixed into normal game – so using a mod seems the best for all…
