I don't know Japanese that well (despite the -san in my nick that's a relic from my anime days of yore) but the difference between Sie and du is a bit like the difference between -san and -chan, although not completely the same.
Actually, there's no proper equivalent of Three's sociolect in German. Obviously not, since Germany's class system is not very much like England's class system.
The problem with German things is that they're, well, German things. There's not much to fan there besides soaps I don't watch, soccer I haven't watched since I was 8, and Tatort (the German version of CSI... kinda). And German children's lit, which is too dear to me to trust the wilds of fandom with it.
