How accurate is this portrayal of the Maiden of Orleans? What aspects could be changed to make it more historically accurate while still being a good figure? What historical sources should have been taken into consideration by the illustrator when coming up with this design?
Pants. Are japs really that obsessed with knee socks that they couldn't add pants?

>blonde
aaaaaAAAAAGH
>>683026
Pig disgusting
Being hot >>>>>>>>>> Being historically accurate
And blonde girls with long hairs >>>>>>> black haired girls with Norman style hair
Funny how in Japan she's always depicted with blonde hair. When I think of her, the image that comes to my head is one similar to the Jeanne in the PSP game or to the one (heretical btw) of Drifters.
>>683077
I think it's just because blonde = western foreigner.
>>683085
Yes, it could be that.

Kinpatsu Shoujos are the best. Picture related.
/his/ weeb thread?
This is a pretty decent series.
What are the essential /his/ anime and manga?
Gunka no Baltzar: Bismarck era Germany in an alternative world
Kingdom: The Unification of China
Strike Witches: WWII in an alternative universe. Genderbent historical aces (such as Hartmann and Barkhorn, who happens to be the best witch)
Drifters: Historical figures (mostly from Japan, some from the other countries) sent to a fantasy world in war. Main character is the son of Shimazu Iehisa (arguably the best general in the Sengoku Era) and Oda Nobunaga
>>683026
I'm pretty sure that's Arthuria Pendragon
>>683026
I suppose we could start with the violet eyes
>>683183
>>683177
>Main character is the son of Shimazu Iehisa (arguably the best general in the Sengoku Era) and Oda Nobunaga
I meant that main character is Iehisa's son. And that Nobunaga is his sidekick.
Iehisa and Nobunaga didn't have sons together, of course.

Blonde hair is to Japan what slanted eyes are to westerners.
>>683198
except that nips do have slanty eyes but most westerns don't have blonde hair.

>except that nips do have slanty eyes but most westerns don't have blonde hair.
And meanwhile zero Japs have naturally blonde hair. And it's also worth mentioning that before the Opening of Japan, pretty much the only Europeans that the Japanese dealt with on friendly terms were the Dutch - who have long been famous for being very tall and very blonde, as well as having light-colored eyes. It's easy to see where the stereotypes come from.
>>683177
Nobunaga no Chef.

And I forgot, Vinland Saga (inspired by Thorfinn Karlsefni) and Innocent (on Charles-Henri Sanson).
Why are most "historical" anime so fucking badly researched. Even the best can't compete with an average shitty hollywood historical flick. Fucking gooks can't read history with their slanted eyes
>>683529
They just don't give a fuck. It's all spectacle.
Here's Tokugawa Ieyasu as a raccoon dog.
>>683529
They are not badly researched. They just don't even pretend to be accurate. They mostly use historical characters in other settings. Or create fictional settings similar to what happened in history, like Game of Thrones.
This is better than pretending to be historically accurate on the outside and going full politically correct, like Hollywood movies.

Japan needs to stop perverting historical figures. Maybe another nuke might set them straight.

I didn't know talking about toys and cartoons constituted historical discussion. You learn something new every day.
>>683646
still blows my mind that this is the same nigga who does Prison School.
I guess he's gotta pay the bills somehow.

Prison School is great.

Vinland Saga? Definitely takes liberties, but good historical fiction.
Arslan senki and lotgh are definite /his/ material. Lotgh should be compulsory viewing in school or some shit.
>>683026
Who /jeanne/ here!
>>683077
Because Japanese anime sucks at depicting races due to its shitty template-art.
>How do we depict a white girl?
>HURRRRR MAKE HER BLONDE

Which sucks, because the quintessential french look is white skin, dark hair, thick eyebrows.
>>683177
Historie is about an attendent and commander for Philip II and Alexander the Great. It's bretty good.

Only if you're into literal peasants.
Northern France best France; Mediterranean plebs pls go
>>683053
I thought a letter described her as a brunette?
>>683026
Well they got the fact that she was just a banner carrier.
Not even hating on her, she told her inquisitors that she never personally killed anyone in battle and actually preferred her banner rather than her sword.
>>683026
why did they made every male female, but not her male?

Still mad that the Muslims were swapped out for evil crusaders

Parts of it goes against the narrative.

Maria the Virgin Witch. It's set in medieval times and it's about a witch that is trying to stop the warfare between England and France.
>>683026
How accurate is this portrayal of Franco?

Where is this from?

>Still mad that the Muslims were swapped out for evil crusaders
What? That's like saying the Persians in 300 should have been swapped out for Russians.

'Joan' by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. For any other titles check out Hox's website. It's a shame that the last /a/ archive was killed. His posts are good ones to lurk if I want to have historical manga.
I've heard that Ravages of Time is good. Don't know.

First thing they got wrong was making her an anime character
