Why haven't they made a good war anime without all the obnoxious mecha shit.
tanks are mecha
why have war when you can have war with robots
even IRL agrees
>>110670434
Watch videos from Ukraine.
>>110670434
Because Japs cannot into modern war, they have to use their imaginations too much.
>>110670434
I've wondered about this for a while. So many mecha shows feature civil war and the effects it has on people. There's great drama there but it always has to feature fucking giant robots. Is this just to sell merchandise?
There is a good war anime. It's called Grave of the Fireflies. It doesn't have any fighting at all.
>>110670892
I'd watch an anime on the current crisis in Ukraine. Cute Russian girls doing Russian things.
>>110670434
Jormungand was ok and it had modern weaponry, but it's not really a war anime.
>>110671075
Yes, but also why use animation for boring old war, when you could use live action?
The audience of anime aren't into that part of war movies anyway.
>>110670855
if we had mecha, i'd give up on everything and join the army to pilot one.
>>110671075
>mecha

The only thing I an think of is Code Geass, thats it.
The rest is robot wankery.
>>110671202
I want war in my anime.
Something thats BIG and WORLD WIDE, Code geass kinda did it alright, but ended up with robot wankery at s2
>>110670434
because it would be boring as fuck
>>110671416
You need to watch more anime before posting.
>>110671416
You sound like you have a low powerlevel.
>>110670855
I want an anime about cute drones doing cute things.
>>110670434

Sadly no

What mecha doesn't have drama?
>>110671820
>>110670434
Because Japan cannot grasp how cool tanks and jets are
>>110671701
Uh,no
I want modern war, not outdated animated rehashes, and besides anime make spr any better
>>110671869
Because mecha don't have feelings.
>>110671869
What mecha's have drama?
that arent shit
>>110671932
Giant robots > jets > tanks
>>110671945
anime WOULDNT
>>110672010
Assuming you actually like mecha, then the usual classic ones. Character drama is a backbone of the genre.
>>110671945
I would like that as well if done right. I just don't get why Japan hasn't done it yet, so much potential.
>>110672011

No, that's not true at all.
>>110672183
Oh please. Gaiking had drama like a soap opera.
>>110672147
I know it wasn't meant to be, but that show could of done so much more. Just thinking of the possibility's makes me sad.
>>110672317

Enjoy your outdated piece of crap.
>>110672609
Warthogs are shit. Any fighter jet can carry mavericks and guided bombs fine, but do it much better and safer. Don't even go on about costs because the 30mm it fires is ridiculously expensive.

>>110673200
No, you aren't allowed to change the meanings of words to suit your arbitrary feelings. Mecha is anything mechanical. Fucking deal with it.

Gundams are mecha.
Zakus are mecha, too.
Tanks are not mecha. Neither are planes.
Or cars. Or anything else that is not a bipedal machine.

>F/A-18F firing Mavericks into a mech from 20km away
Like the opening of Patlabor 2, but longer
>>110673374
It's good I'll give you that, but I don't think it's what op had in mind when he asked for anime.
You /k/ faggots always bitch that there are no realistic war anime but the second an anime tries to depict modern warfare, you always go autismally apeshit about some minuscule detail about guns or tanks or whatnot. I don't like realism in my chinese cartoons, it works much better that way, if you want realism, just watch TV shows.
>>110673260
Actually the allies just used a single commando and thermite to take out superguns.
>>110673327
>Artillery
>30km range, maybe 50km if you use rocket boosted projectiles
>F-16 Falcon with HARMs
>425 nautical miles strike radius with ~70nm attack range

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha#Characteristics
You're retarded.
>>110673466
what are you talking about, not once have I seen modern warfare in anime, besides modern weapons
>>110673441
So what you're saying is you want a series that has mecha around with no real justification for the mecha besides being pincushions. And you don't find this to be utterly retarded.
>>110673327
>Arty
>Being useful in SEAD
Yeah, because artillery can locate AA based on the radar output, lock on to it, and fire a missile from 150km away
>>110673199
Hitler went little overboard with this overcompensation thing.
>>110673466
>TV shows
>realism
Nobody in the industry knows anything about how physics, the military or anything computer related works, ever. Even if they do they often don't care. That's why they're making tv/films after all.
>>110673441
That's why most anime gives mechs incredible mobility.
>>110670434
You can't make a series about war when your country lost the biggest war in the history.
>>110673585
Yes.
Trigger warning do not click.
>>110673466
What anime has tried to depict modern warfare? Not being sarcastic I just want to know, must of missed it.
>>110673364
All you need is a single 500kg on that thing and its gone, not that hard to pull off
And don't forget, that thing is incapable of transversing bridges, rivers, and most roads
>>110673651
Most anime give mechs shit tier mobility that doesn't improve until MC gets a prototype (unless they start off with one, in which case it's just grunts who have to deal with not being able to turn on a dime).
>>110673572
Yeah, maybe not all out warfare, but even in the small skirmishes here and there (heck even in fucking AIRSOFT shows), you guys always whine about small details. /k/ is the most autismal board on 4chan, hands down, it is impossible to please you guys.
>>110670434
Back in the early '90's, there was a short OVA called Future War 198X which was pretty good, even if it was nothing but combat scenes.

I love the Thunderbolt II, it's just a product of its time- that time being the late 1970's. It worked and it worked well in the 1980's when everyone had a strategy which revolved around Heavy Fighters, Light Multiroles, and Ground Attack aircraft. But with the paradigm shifting towards multiroles, it's becoming out of date, and quickly. If you could spend the maintenance to keep a 'Hog and a Hornet running, or just two Hornets, which would you prefer to pay the bill for?
>>110674068

How fucking boring was that? There's no human element at all. You spend three minutes watching various bits of military hardware destroy each other. If nothing else, the cinematography was atrocious.
An autist's vision of a perfect war anime.

It`s not like other 5gen fare any better, to be honest. T-50 is in preliminaries, and China went off to do something closer to a bomber.
>>110675258
Sure, if you like characters being constantly killed in firefights, treated like disposable shit by their employer and then summarily executed or otherwise wiped off when series comes to an end.
>>110674849
Why? This is a war. They're one 30-man platoon in an army 230,000, fighting an army of 320,000, not including conscripts on a periphery front in a World War. What could they change?

No, sadly. It can't turn on a dime, and therefor does not own the sky.

That just sounds incredibly dull and boring. What's a more effective story, watching young girls get shown the horrors of war, or watching some supposed supergenius rant to us about the evils of war?
>>110676003
Slavs can't mentally handle a ubermensch charging them
>>110675991
Yes.
>>110675863
Then it turns into another mecha type story were the mc is special. The point of making something like this, is it isn't the same old bullshit. Hence good war anime.
>>110676039
Yes, according to people like him we are all mecha pilots. Right now as we use our computers we are mecha pilots
>>110675977

>>110676062
Maybe they were dreaming about raping some austrian village.
>>110675977
>>110676017
What I wouldn't give for a long-running manga or anime set in an early-mid 19th century world where two equally-matched nations are at war and, for one reason or another, all the fighting has to be done by teenaged girls. Of course, there would be futile charges, gory deaths, amputations, and general hardship galore. And as the war drags on and most of the older girls are killed or wounded, the new recruits would get younger and younger.
>>110676039
Yes, it's not as cool.

And the pages between chapters would contain the sort of info historifags love: weapon data, uniforms, flags, more detailed info on tactics and training, and updates on how things are going on the home front

So it's Sharpe's Rifles with cute girls?
>>110676117
She's all I need really.
Would you watch a show about cute train-girls sent to run the Thailand-Burma death railway?

I don't understand the connection between your post and your webm

Supergenius, presuming that he is shown as a powerless and naive lunatic that is fighting a doomed battle against the human nature, Bonus points if he either dies inglorious death or gets disillusioned.

Nah, they were just braindead from so much vodka.
>>110676185
I would love to see a bunch of young girls absolutely scarred shitless being ordered into a full charge against emplaced artillery. Knowing that they will die, but being unable to ignore their orders out of a mix of fear, pride, and resignation to their own deaths.

NO, how about a kid with great battle skills and is victorious in each one, gains ranks, and becomes a commander, finishing the war
>>110676300
You have no idea how much vodka would be required for such a feat.

It would have to be Russia then, baring the Light Brigade most of their charges in that period were actually pretty effective. Unless you count a few fortress stormings as charges (Badajoz I'm looking at you).

Again, that sounds dull as all hell. You're telling the story of World War fucking 3, go and tell that story. Don't tell the story of some asshole who thinks he's better than everyone else.

Anon, I thought we were talking about semi-realism here, not horrible wish fulfillment?
>>110676483
what
>>110676309
I'd love to see a few regiments holed up in a fort and subjected to a months-long siege, accompanied by constant artillery bombardment, frequent infantry attacks by the other side, and occasional sorties by the defenders. The defenders would slowly be whittled down by disease and hunger, as well.
COIN anime when?
>>110676403
Crimean war would be interesting.
Plenty of courage, valor and respect on all sides, modern journalism is born, fuck, I`d watch it!

you're an idiot
special snowflake refers to tumblurites and trannies and shit that don't want to be ~sterotyped~
gary stu/mary stu means MC that is overpowered
literally they are never swapped
>>110676440
>>110676485
NO, fuck he obviously grows throuhout the show, he would be in his 40s when he's commander
And each battle isnt the same shit over and over again
>>110676485
Daily reminder 99% of anime is wish fulfillment, especially the stuff /a/ likes.

Anon, it is very much wish fulfillment.
Mecha are perfect for fiction because they amplify the individual effect of a single person.
Real wars can do this also, through intel analysis, snipers, air support, etc; but even then it's a much more team-based activity.
