/a/, has anyone made any good direct adaptations of the War of 1904 or any of Japan's conflicts in the last century that didn't rely on allegory? I can remember the one film that was a series of animated shorts about WWII featuring a pilot in a Ta 152/Japanese suicide pilots flying out to engage American fleets.
The OVA, The Cockpit, inspired me to seek out more works detailing Japan's recent wartime experiences.
Read the fucking sticky.

Fantastic, like discussion needed to be distributed over more boards.

>NOT ANIME
The catalog of /a/ mirrors that of /jp/ currently. Actual discussion is at a minimum.
Time to fuck off back to /hist/, at least they try.

Good.
Animated? Probably significantly less so than manga. The problem is that on the other end of the spectrum you get retarded NIPPON STRONG bullshit.

Gate stands as a testament to this. Four layers of censorship out from the light novel and it still reads as a barely self-aware circlejerk about the abilities of the glorious Nihonnese forces over both the great nations and the world beyond the gate.

There is not much conflicts to choose from anyway, and ww1 isn't suited for story-telling since Japan wasn't enough involved in it.
That just leaves ww2, which easily turns into Japan stronk revision of history or focuses on the small dramas of individuals during the war.

I don't think Shigeru Mizuki's take on it was all that biased. Currently reading through it, but I'm not the most versed on the subject.
Jesus christ, there's a big glowing sticky at the top of the board about rec threads, fuck off

And there's always been a rule about no requests since forever. What difference does the sticky make to whatever is posted on /a/ and whatever is discussed anyways?
The comics series conquered a Japanese geek before than an Anime.

Nobody reads stickies and the sticky isn't going to stay.
/a/ has never needed stickies because we're well capable to tell people to lurk the fuck more or get the fuck out and kill themselves.
