Why haven't they made a good war anime without all the obnoxious

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.

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.

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 But with the paradigm shifting towards multiroles, it's becoming out of date, and quickly.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?

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.

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.

Ground units are not any better than mecha

Since all you need is a fucking home made bomb to blow it to pieces and send it flying. I'll just be cute tanks being blown up by cute bombs in the road

>>110678553
And mechs are immune to them...how?

Let me tell you a story about the south-western lookout pillbox, located in the School for Combat Engineering somewhere in the middle of no-where, Israel.
I remember it like it was 2005. I was doing guard duty for no reason at all (as if there's a reason for anything you do in boot camp), when I decided to look at the local graffiti.
To my surprise, I discovered an offline bulletin board discussing anime. Naruto was a thing, and so were Bleach (but tbh they were both good at the time). Then some guy went on and on about how Trigun was the best thing EVAR, and some other guy called bullshit on that and said NGE was better.

It was all written with a sharpy on the rust covering the inside of a pillbox. Let that sink in.
(I'm the guy with the tank)

especially the stuff /a/ would make if they were allowed to make anime.

>>110677669

You are right. How dare they drag you all the way from Europe, force you to build your cities in the middle of their lands, and throw themselves infront of your bullets.

Those monsters
