Why is it that a lot of animes have German language or influence on them yet their setting doesn't fit at all into this

Latest I found was in Clockwork Planet, pic related.
But also in rather old ones like Spice & Wolf you find German writings

I wonder why that's a thing. It's really nice to see when there is an "all German" anime like Youjo Senki which had very accurate German except for one Scene.
But as then there's shit like Schwarzesmarken which feels like being scripted by Google Translate; even that title doesn't make sense.

They love their germans. They have had ties with them for a long time now. It make sense seeing as germany has a long rich history to use.
>>
>>157540537
OP here;
I am German that's why this question has been bothering me even tho I'm pretty new to anime in general.
But I wouldn't consider our history rich actually
>>
because it sounds cool
>>
>>157540435
It's cool.
>>
>>157540788
dubs checked

Why does it sound cool? I was told it was the most "agressive" or "brutal" language compared to others.

Also I can't remeber "PANZER VOR!" sounding cool

Yeah right, maybe you should look after the WW1/WW2 brainwashing.

Then maybe you are an uncultured/uneducated pleb.

Weil du vom Staat nicht die nötige Bildung im Geschichtsunterricht bekommen hast...

You're right

why though?

I don't have enough capacity on storage and don't want to buy storage just for stuff I might only watch about once or twice a year/every two years

and german is usually atrocious, not only in jap media but across the board. hollywood butchers it routinely. Just look at Xmen 2 for a nice example of "google translate" german....

well just look at every fucking WWII movie, there isn't a single good one and no real one from German perspective

>>157541160
I told you guys I'm new to anime, never looked into /a/ therefore
>>
>>157541126
Even if you only go back to, say 1776, there's plenty of rich history from then to now.

If he would have answered "we have a rich history" or something you would have called him a nazi and brought up the holocaust and the two worlds wars

being post-ww2 german is a lose-lose situation in terms of displaying patriotism for your homeland.
>>
>>157541221
Fuck off.
>>
>>157541126
Thats what "history" means you know...
There is alot of history in germany, not the country itself because its a relative new one, but every state that is part of germany.
>>
>>157541249
>someone actually kept that in mind
the only time when you can be patriotic is when the world championship in soccer is around
>>
>>157541249
Not really though. Who'd dispute Germany has a "rich history" anyway, other than the fact this term may not be all that well-defined?
I only hear people say that unironically about America, if at all, because it hasn't been around that long.

>>157541249
Thats the really sad thing...

However you could say that considering it was split multiple times into tiny fragmented pieces of lordships until they were united. After that it got split again, later even into two different Germanys.
That would count I guess

this newspaper is so wrong yet awesome I think. it's a mix of three or four newspapers, but it being writtin in both Knajii and German it's off

>>157541738
I didn't say it's a very convincing point. Leaving aside the fact that there clearly is German culture and some notion of continuity between the predecessors of the German Reich, you'd have to make a more nuanced point than "Germany does not HAVE a history".

Germany and Japan have a long history together. Japan always highly respected Germany, especially in terms of military. Germany was the country that Japan looked up to more than anyone else, at least prior to WW2. Japan's military was largely based around Germany, and many of its civilian institutions were based on Germany's.

This changed, of course, after WW2 where Japan was basically forced to begin looking closer towards America, but there are still a lot of ties to Germany. German history, mythology, etc is all pretty cool, and works nicely when someone in Japan wants to present something as strange and foreign. Neither America nor England (the other most commonly referenced foreign nations) have the history or myth that Germany does.

Finally, the German language is (audibly) about as far as you can get from Japanese, with a lot of guttural phonetic sounds, which makes German an even more exotic language to Japan.

>>157542270
Sehr gut. 6, setzen.

>>157542231
that't painful to listen to, yet I'm surprised they could somewhat pronounce ' L '
