Why don't we have more cute anime girls doing military things?

Aren't we getting plenty?

So what else? There are other anime with military elements in them, but nothing all too similar.

Because military themes don't lend themselves as well to otaku-pandering as the classic high school theme. Most people who watch anime seem to either be in high school or are reminiscing with rose-tinted goggles on their own missed opportunities during their high school days. Sure, military/firearms otaku definitely do exist, both in the West and in the East, but I'm willing to bet money that they're a very small fraction of the market. So why spend money on producing a show that doesn't necessarily have wide appeal to people on the most basic level? Most anime fans have never experienced being in the military I imagine and the people it might appeal to are in a small number.

Granted this entire post is held up by the assumption that the military otaku actually ARE a minority in the general anime fandom, which isn't something I have any real statistics on, only an assumption based on my own experience with anime fans.

TL;DR Why make a military anime with cute girls that might sell when you could make a high-school anime with cute girls that is almost guaranteed to sell?

I would honestly love to make a military-themed railshooter. The Panzer Dragoon series is arguably my favorite series of games. Right now I'm trying to learn 3D modeling (mostly through ZBrush, but I've done some stuff in Maya and 3DS Max) and would love to make something anime military themed when I'm not shit.

I'd love to see an anime about a girls paintball team. All the fun of cute girls firing guns and doing military things, but without the risk of death.

Pus, imagine the fanservice as they go into the bath and wash the paint off their bodies at the end of every episode.

Otherwise, there's this anime, Library Wars, which might fit the bill, but it wasn't that successful, neither was the Valkyria Chronicles anime, which tended to trigger a lot of the game fans on top of that, especially with the whole love triangle thing, and the fact that magic plays a much bigger role than in the game.

I'd be the first one to buy a DVD and merch of a military-themed anime that wouldn't be as weak plot-wise as Upotte or Strike Witches (if there's any plot in the former to begin with), but I'd be one of the only ones, along with OP and a couple guys on /k/.

Anime companies do high school stuff because it sells, same for isekai and mecha.

For example, Schwarzesmarken with real combat planes instead of mecha shit would have been one of my favourite animes, but it wouldn't have been successful, or at least much less than the real word SM is. And it wasn't a big hit to begin with.

Soviet/Yugoslav/general Slavic themed military anime when ;_;

>>157197644
anon, that guy's point still stands, you can't name a show that's straightforward with very little to no otaku shenannigans. One way or another, a military anime is bound to have a catch, whether it's highschool or magic.

No it doesn't. The original question was show that has cute girls that don't go to school, which makes no fucking sense. It's like asking for a show about salarymen who don't go to work.

>>157197908
Well, we have New Game, Kemono Friends, and Strike Witches

>>157197854
Yeah I could do without the non-stop nazi germany references, but it's pretty entertaining and I quite enjoy the premise in which the show takes place.

But yeah I must agree that Soviet military themed anime would be p cool. Those guys were some crazy mother fuckers

I know, right? I mean, now that we've seen any possible extrapolation of the Maus, Tiger, Me-262 and all of that, let's go explore some atomic era Soviet stuff, and have shit inspired by soup bowl-shaped tank turrets, bare aluminium supersonic jets, bakelite guns and nuclear subs.


... wait, I just got an idea, let's replace the high school setting by a Young Pioneers/Komsomol setting, with cute east bloc girls learning how to use weapons and military technology at the Party's youth movements, and then enlisting into some people's militia-type organisation in which they shoot, drive old tanks, and practice AA fire.

Plus Soviet aesthetics are much better than the Nazi ones. When you want to give a badass/mean vibe, Russian uniforms and backgrounds are much better than leather fetishism combined with an emo kid's love for black, with the sobre but still effective uniform designs, snowed in cities, huge concrete buildings and red propaganda posters and flags.

This >>157198980. There are under 10 good military related titles with moe characteristics, and it's quick to watch them all since they're mostly quite short to begin with.

Plus, since there isn't a lot of them AND some of them have been around for a couple years, they tend to have been circlejerked to death (apart from Girls und Panzer, which is actively circlejerked but not yet to death, it seems)

So we're just, once again, circlejerking here, complaining that these fucking anime companies don't spend time and money on very niche stuff.

Now, if someone has some good related manga to recommend, preferably something translated... I'll contribuate, with a manga I like, Kutsuzure Senzen, which is about a Soviet witch in WW2, and is scanlated.
