Seibu 3000 Series pictured in "I met the girl under full-bloomed cherry blossoms and my fate has begun to changed" anime, with which Seibu Railway tie up, was identified as 3009F on the latest episode on other day.
Though 3000 Series has appeared on the anime several times, it was seen that the yellow-coloured and its indicators showed the letter "Local for Hon-kawagoe". However, in the episode 11 broadcast on December 19th, pictured its front clearly, it was identified as 3009F set by the number under the front window and its destination indicator was written in the same font as the real one.
3009F set in the real world, retired on this December, was one of the last two sets, but ran on Ikebukuro Line. Appearing on this anime, anime fans, as well as railfans, could say goodbye to and memorised it.
It is rare case that the train appearing on an anime show is retired while the show is broadcasting. Some people may be drawn by the train to see and feel what the characters do, which create the new demand for the railway companies.
