Hanna Fechik Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It’s a little odd that this is my first post on here, but I had to get this out. So since I was 16 I seem to have developed some taste for anime/manga that some military/warfare undertone. To me, that does not exclude anime shows like Keroro Gunso and Hetalia: Axis Powers, because obviously most the characters are in the army. I also realize they’re nationalistic in nature. I think Sgt Frog did have a lot of references to Japan’s military abuses throughout history. I have recently gotten into Yojou Senkai(The Saga of Tanya The Evil). I love the psychotic personality of the main character. I don’t know however, if I would get into stuff like Hellsing, Attack On Titan, Code Geass etc. I tried getting into Fairy Gone, but all those negative reviews have discouraged me, but I think I may need to revisit it. I also seem to have gotten interested in Dies Irae. That one is pure creepiness, but I think the villains are awesomely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Most of the Gundam series seemed to have a fairly heavy military influence to me (though I’ve yet to actually finish any of them ). I agree with @The History Kid about Fullmetal Alchemist and there’s a series along the same lines called Pumpkin Scissors, though nowhere the same quality. More recently there was The Price of Smiles. I think you would probably like Attack on Titan, maybe Ghost in the Shell: SAC. Series like Kancolle & Azur Lane are more about fanservice than anything (reimagining military vessels as cute/sexy girls). Likewise GATE is an isekai with a supposed military slant, but is more harem than anything. Finally, there’s Fullmetal Panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If you’re still into military series, you might want to check out 86. Season 2 starts in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohayotaku Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) @Hanna Fechik Maybe? I don’t make as strong a connection as with most mecha series or FMA, but the central characters are acting in the safety & defense of the public. There’s actually some infighting between the various divisions because of different loyalties (one is more loyal to the military, another to the “church”, another to corporations, etc). The one central to the story is actually geared more to weeding out corruption in the other divisions while trying to adhere to the ideal of public defense & protection. One of the female members is actually from a high ranking military family & there was some bad blood over her joining the force instead of the military. The series has a lot going for it, but unfortunately the creator’s sense of humor offends some people & I personally feel it detracts from the other aspects pretty frequently. Not just because of ecchiness, but because it saps the momentum/adrenaline at times and makes it feel immature. Definitely shonen instead of seinen. I rated both seasons 7 but it could be 8 or 9 with better focus IMO. Edited October 8, 2021 by Ohayotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why, I am making a booklet containing pictures from containing screenshots from any sort of military anime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I largely came to accept Arthur’s Don Quioxte style delusions & Glasses bro’s lack of fashion sense.

Not bad, but didn’t really hold my interest. I would definitely recommend Attack on Titan if you haven’t been watching.
