>>144792555
Historical series don't have to be accurate, otherwise even Romance of Three Kingdoms isn't historical.

>>144791953
what about sengoku rance though?
also im pretty sure i saw historical themed animes too

>>144793488
That's a hentai. And most historical anime adaptations are pretty shit, refer to Kingdom, the most successful current historical serialization in Japan and how their anime looked like.

Plus Altair is about kebabs.

>>144787573
It's actually really good, not a lot of manga properly do this type of story with the right amount of reality and drama.

yeah but it has good rating for a historical manga like this anon said >>144795553
>Plus Altair is about kebabs.
so?
wasnt there anime about jean d'arc?

>>144794725
>kebabs

Kebab history is treasure for fantasy settings and way better than >muh steel and castles ''history''.

>>144795689
Frogs aren't responsible for most of the terrorism in the world today.

>>144796033
Has no bearing on how publishers decide what to adapt and what not to adapt. The art style is also much more difficult to adapt and retain the essence, unless you wanna go Alderamin / Akuma no Hana on it.

Is that what you want?

>>144796033
yep, look at the Dede Korkut and turkic pre-islamic mythology
also recent coup attempt in turkey would make good action anime

nigga you serious?
froggies betraying gaddaffi is the reason why french having so much terror attacks lately since he is the one who didn't let durka durkas to emigrate to europe

>>144797095
>implying letting them invade europe faster would have made everything peaceful

They would have been responsible for another country getting shat on in the absolute tiny chance that they don't get fucked with, and even then it'd still be a cultural invasion though I guess France doesn't get a say on that matter.

EU digging its own grave
if i would in Merkel's shoes i would make deal with Putin and ship the refugees to far east siberia

>>144796725
>The art style is also much more difficult to adapt and retain the essence
it'll be fine
just give it to kyoani
:^)

>>144798203
With Altair's art style I'd probably bet on CLAMP or something more tentative to obscure proportions.

Always remember to feed your empire properly.

>>144797238
The "refugees" don't go to France, or in rather irrelevant numbers. Don't confuse Muslims who've been here for 40 years and the new invasions of paupers.
As far as foreign policies go, has more to do with trying to make Bachar fall and the backlash of the two wars in Iraq than with Libya.

>>144799024
or else?

>>144793092
>accurate
There's "inaccurate history," and then there's "literally a fantasy world with no real-world countries on the map."

This was a cute tangent, and the whole idea that they thwarted the empire with a trading trick was brilliant.

fuck man, sense scans is so fucking slow
worst thing is the guy who is good at translating this series is missing

d-don't underestimate yourself a-anon

>>144802732
Some. I can only understand maybe 35% of the dialogue.
The author is making kebab names into moon, so I have no idea what it means. Lots of military terms too.
It's up on nyaa if anyone just wants to look at what's going on though.

>>144799024
Really makes you think.
Also

>>144803200
Im planning to commision a translation
Should i do it or wait for sense scans?

>>144803200
> tfw kebab and could understand the all the terms
Shame i dont know how to read a moon though

>>144803327
But i kinda worry that translator night not able translate the kebab, italian and german terms...

>>144793092
>Historical series don't have to be accurate,
If I made a story about fantasy america starring fantasy Abraham Washington fighting the British while crossdressing and praying to waterspirits is that still historical?

there's not accurate and then there's what the fuck am I reading

>>144803327
Sense's quality is pretty good. Their translator seems good enough. It's the inconsistant released that just bother me.
I would just wait on them.

>>144802655
They are pretty slow, I remember there was a bit of drama with this series about a year or two ago when some guy started translating it himself, quality wasn't the best but he pumped out a load of chapters.

>>144799902
It's considered a historical series by the rest of the world, just because you drew a line different from everyone else doesn't mean shit. The countries are named differently for whatever reasons and of course the events differ, but at it's core it's still historical.

Souten Kouro is more of a fantasy world than Altair, but nobody doubts Souten Kouro is historical.

>>144803538
So long as the story explains it yes it actually is. Shut Hell is considered historical.

>>144803398
From reading this, are most terms they're using correct?

>>144803788
>Souten Kouro is more of a fantasy world than Altair
Not him, but no, it fucking isn't. Supernatural shit does not make historical China more of a fantasy world than a made-up world that resembles the real world.
