Has the military ever been accurately portrayed in anime?
Depends which military. Japanese? Maybe. Foreign? Probably not.

I thought this was pretty well done
>>122874662
Girls und Panzer, duh.
>>122874662
Black Lagoon did a pretty accurate job
>>122874953
No faggot, 3rd Aerial Girls.
>>122874990
>mercenaries
>military
>>122874953
>>122875000
You're both retards. KanColle.
>Sit around bitching about supplies and maintenance
Argevollen
Evangelion.
>>122874662
No.
>>122874953
It's weird. I was in the armoured corps, and yet I found GuP enjoyable, because it didn't really try ti be military, and was fun.
KanColle, on the other hand, make me think 2 nukes wasn't enough.
>>122875172
This is what I am talking about. Would make a great slice of life, even if it was POG's doing this shit.
Flag did a pretty decent job. It was a realistic series in general, at least the beginning episodes which I saw.
>>122875231
KanColle is about WWII Japanese (for the most part) warships fighting off "foreign demons". It's so out of touch with reality (and I'm not talking about demons and ships that are girls) that I have no idea if they did that on purpose or if they just didn't realize what they were implying.
>>122874953
>>122875000
>>122875101
There are people literally this retarded on /a/.Strike Witches
>>122875172
>>122875231
Actually agree on Argevollen, was the only thing that came to my mind as well.
>>122875354
But there's boring, and then there's Flag.
>>122875366
My favorite was the whole fleet hanging out at Truk. Which is where 40+ of the actual Imperial fleet still is.
If the military was comprised of CG animals.
>>122875354
Please stop spreading misinfomation. Trying to trick people into watching Flag is simply cruel.
I thought Sora no Woto was pretty accurate.
>>122875473
>Spotter Marksman going into a sandrag village alone
>Realistic
>>122875220
There's at least one in every thread.
>>122875579
They are not spotter/sniper team.
They are special ops team.
>>122875525
Even a shit pump in his second week of basic would think Sora no Woto was inaccurate as fuck. I really tried to like it, but couldn't. It was a good anime, but as someone who is in the army, I couldn't stand it.
Now on the other hand, Generation Kill, but with kawaii waifu's, would be the fucking bee's knee's
>>122874953
I come about to say this
>>122875172
>"DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, PRIVATE!"
>"NO!"
>>122875710
but Generation Kill with waifus would miss the entire point of the series
>>122875047
>not Hotel Moscow
>not the US troops from RBT
retard
>>122875927
Thinking about it, yeah it kinda would.
I guess I meant something at least semi accurate, but in the form of anime would be nice.
>>122875525
It is actually pretty accurate if you consider that they're a rear unit in peacetime, solely comprised of women and little girls.
>>122876160
>trying this hard.
>>122874662
jinroh maybe
although they were cops, not military.
>>122875366
>foreign demons
Yeah man, allies totally had Torpedo Cruisers, a Harusame DD clone, and a Naka/Agano CL combination abomination.
>>122876358
>being this much of a faggot
>>122876577
Oh you're still here? You realize this is an anonymous board and you don't actually have to feel embarrassed or defend retarded posts, right? Nobody knows you and nobody cares.
>>122876160
>Hotel Moscow
>military
>not mafia mercenaries
I dont know about anime but manga has a few instances, 'onwards to our noble deaths' being one
the artstyle is a bit wonky, but it's basically an autobiographical account from a WWII veteran
Why would you want to watch an anime about a bunch of government drones?
They gotta spice it up somehow.

Nips are butthurt, what else is new?
>>122876748
Shermans a shit.
>Butthurt grandsons of the American army men who killed 2 cities with nukes that severely maimed the Japanese military.
>Ever letting Japan do it's military propaganda in media
>>122876857
>he doesn't know Allied ships are going to be added to the game
>>122876748
I just realised that my example didnt really illustrate what I meant by wonky artstyle
basically all the important characters are drawn like they are out of GeGe no Kitaro or something
>>122876904
Nips are pretending they aren't butthurt, what else is new?
>>122876658
I see I've been memed by a true master
>>122876716
>>122876883
Japan makes WW2 movies too, the most recent one was about a kamikaze pilot.
>>122876936
Military otaku in Japan care more about cool weapons than who won the war. Kancollefags care more about whether the ships are cute or not than if they're nip or foreign.
>>122876883
>nukes
>military targets
>>122876883
They shouldn't have ruined the sleep over party the American fleet girls were having at Pearl Harbor, they deserved to die.
>>122874953
>>122875000
>>122875101
You memers think you're so funny and clever, huh?
OP, the answer is Strike Witches.
>>122874662
Valkyria Chronicles.
>>122876970
>meme
I get the sense that the term might have a different definition than what you believe it intends to convey.
>>122877041
You are so fucking late ->>>122875397
Not that I've ever seen, infact I can't think of a single title in any form of media that has done it without being non-fiction.
This is why I can't enjoy 'military' themed anime, manga, film or books.Being in the military made me realise how stupid they all were
>>122877012
>Kancollefags care more about whether the ships are cute or not than if they're nip or foreign.
From what I heard, there are some pretty die hard right-wingers who really criticized the appearance of foreign ships in the game. Though, since Bismark and her little lapdog are really popular with the normies, it didn't mean shit in the end.
>>122875354
I would agree Flag probably does the best job of any show I've seen. Ryousuke Takahashi has probably done the best of anime director in general though.
>>122877398
It helps that Bisko has the best stats among FBBs, one of the best designs (thanks Fumikane), and is one of the most useful ships period. The only reason she's not more popular than she already is is simply because she's very hard to get.
>>122877398
Vocal minority, Bismarck turned out to be so popular that the devs had to stop nerfing her and were forced to give her better stats. They still made blueprints a requirement, though which is bullshit for Zwei.
Only thing I can immediately think of is an episode of Black Lagoon that had an interesting backstory about a German Captain reassuring his men and stating that he had no regrets as they all died with their sinking U-Boat.
Of course it was immediately juxtaposed against the crazy comic-relief skinheads of the modern day.
>>122874662
Code Geass
>>122877596
Yeah the flashback part of that Black Lagoon arc I will give you.
>>122877362
That's what am talking about. As someone in the military, I can't enjoy anything that tries to portray the military at all, because it is so off that it's not even funny. It;s like trying to watch a show about tennis, written by someone who has never played tennis ever. Anybody who has even swung a racket would be able to tell that whoever wrote this shit has no idea what they are talking about.
Entire Gundam everything
>>122877794
Well, what about Gate? Surely it has to get something right. The guy who wrote it was actually in the JSDF.
>WEH I CAN'T GET INTO IT CUZ I BEEN THAR
suspend your disbelief you armyfags
Ah wait your ASVAB's still middle school level, never mind
>>122877983
Fuck this reminds me of an episode of I THINK Index. There's some mention of a giant robot and somebody says "and it is piloted by a teenage boy, haha"
>>122878098
Only Americans would have black special forces something something something.
>>122874953
>sports
>>122878148
Please don't remind me of that scene.
>US Special Forces unit
>Takes contact from sniper
>JSDF sniper literally straight out of a Tom Clancy novel
>Americans get extremely unnerved, start firing in death blossom and start screaming to each other
>Literally spills are their plans and motives over the net and aloud
>>122874662

sadly, these are like the only good scenes out of that boring anime.
![b02[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/MIVVzAR.jpg "b02[1].jpg")
The only actual realistic (in every regards) military animu I can think of is Rescue Wings.
There are some other stuff that try to be accurate, like The Silent Service, but some scenarios are too bullshit Hollywood.
>>122878370
what era is this supposed to be set in they have missiles on the ship and prop planes.
>>122878468
WW2, modern DD traveled back in time. It's a history revisionism story.
>>122878468
ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN~
>>122878370
Wow the nips showed us what for by blowing the fuck out of our WWII hardware with modern AA guns/missiles and a fucking Tomahawk.
>>122878496
Ah kk that makes more since.
