They missed the opportunity to call it TransfArmers (too bad there is already a movie with this name).

Who is this even for? I mean, are they targeting that small cross section of people who buy agricultural equipment for major corporations but also enjoy mech based moe anime? And why bother bringing it to Anime Expo, do they really think this'll boost their sales? It's such a strange thing to make.

Mecha and agriculture? I mean, Macross could have a strong nature bent at times...

They could have done some great product placement in KamiKatsu.

The katakana "ru" as a verb suffix? That's pretty rare; I've only ever seen the hiragana.

I remember seeing Yanmar Diesel commercials constantly in Japan. They had these two little mascot characters Yanbō and Marbō that sang a catchy jingle. I'd have rather seen a show about them.

Honestly from the article it sounds like it's for their engineering staff who secretly always wanted to design mecha instead of farm equipment. This screams passion project of someone or someones in the company. |
