Strange, does this have to do with Yuichiro Matsuka? For he is a former Bandai producer who founded his own Kinema Citrus studio, and then left to found another studio, Studio 3hz. For something like that to happen, I wonder if he has a little influence on it.

Well this should put an end to the production issues that Actas has traditionally had. What other impacts it has only time will tell.

If they just wanted the franchise then wouldn't buying it have been cheaper and less deadline aversive?

What a weird move though; Rather than creating their own "Girls und thing" series, they bought the one quite seemingly on its way out. And I want to see the Girls in their Magnificent Flying Machine too. Strike Witches minus the Witch part, not that hard to come up with. Or copyright or market... Girls in a WWII flying team up against... either aliens or each other, take your pick.

Alright, I made it through this without saying either "Star Wars" or "franchise zombie". I like the series but what it was will be all that it could be. Or something.

Still just talking about Girls Und Panzer. Gonna call the next one The Last Battalion. Then another side story, then something about Returning or Revenging. Then we reboot... again.... And on and on...

Studio 3Hz and Actas are two different things. Studio 3Hz wasn't touched

Well now that Bandai has most if not the full rights to the franchise, we get some more GuP games providing Dream Tank Match sells well, too bad there's no stage for it at TGS because that game is needing promotion badly..

I know, I'm just saying that behind the scenes there may have been something. Do not really have to be in the article, that's just speculation. He's a former Bandai producer, that could have been a factor ... who knows!
