So, prior to this I’m not usually interested in military theme series, but then I give Tanya a watch, and I’m hooked ! I’ve also watched the movie.
After that, I remember 86 and also finish those. The last one I’ve finished was Nippon Sangoku, and now I want more like these. I think it’s related, but I also throw Sentenced to be a Hero having same vibe, though it’s more focus on individual and has much more fantasy flavor setting-wise.
I don’t really care about the interpersonal between the character, I think I just enjoy the campaign/battle theater and the logistic side of the war.
Please throw me some of yours recs ! Thanks
Edit: Still reading the recs you guys give, thanks a lot. But for some more context I’ve watched most of Gundam entries and the usual suspects for space opera so it’s already on my radar. But then again maybe other find it helpful, so I don’t mind.
Both of my suggestions have warfare mixed with fantasy, but you could try them to see if they scratch your itch.
Drifters: famous warriors get isekai’d to a fantasy war and start waging a war on behalf of the subjugated elf population.
Gate: a portal opens up in Tokyo and fantasy creatures try to invade Japan, only to find themselves against a modern day army.
Bonus suggestion: Full Metal Panic. Mecha battles against terrorist organisations. The first season is a mix of serious and funny, following ones are more serious in tone. FMP Fumoffu is a spinoff with just the funny stuff. One of my all time favorites.
I’ve watched FMP but not the other two and just to make sure, is this the one you mean :
Gate
Drifters
I’ll go check both out, iirc there a new Gate coming out, but it’s a new timeline of something not related to this one, is that right or am I thinking of a different series?
Thank you for the suggestion !
The upcoming GATE season will follow a completely different set of characters, and the ones from season 1 only show up in cameo/guest roles. Its set a couple of years later (so, not a new timeline). Also, navy instead of army.
Ah, okay. Is the first season ends in cliffhanger ? Not that I mind, but read quite a few comments wanting them to just continue with the first ensemble.
No cliffhanger, but the story goes on in the source. So many people would rather see that continue than having a spin-off.
Yes, it’s those two.
As for the new Gate, I don’t know anything about it.
Man that first one was crazy. I loved the whole thing then was like: wait, did I just watch pro colonial propaganda?
Great show
Lol, which one did you referring to? Drifter or Gate?
I honestly didn’t expect this many recs, the subs usually have very few comments.
Gate. It’s honestly super good though. Id watch it again, but it was one of those things that sort of arrested me. It could have come out of 19th century England. Makes you remember some stuff lol
You asked a bunch of nerds about anime lol. Do you know how long I e wanted to talk about this?
You weren’t kidding with the colonial propaganda. I genuinely upset of myself cuz I was cheering the JDSF when they rescued Italica lol.
By all means, talk about it even if it’s unrelated to my request. I will still read all the replies, but the current recs I’m getting are pretty good, and there’s still a lot to get through.
Nippon Sangoku just finished airing, and I’m on the fence whether to continue reading or not. I mainly read and usually didn’t watch series I follow cuz it rarely enhances the experience. The show production is top notch, and I’m in a dilemma because on one hand I want more but on the other hand I kinda want to watch season 2 fresh if that ever happen.
Oh, that’s interesting. How do you go about reading the series?
