thinking about this post again. they don't have to be directly about it, subtext is a real thing to take into consideration here. artists who have strong opinions on it should be taken into account. i have pretty broad standards for what counts here, i'm just trying to figure out how accurate the post is generously

right off the bat we've got a bunch

  • patlabor (2 especially)
  • gate
  • gits sac 2nd gig
  • kyoukai senki
  • zipang
  • drifters
  • code geass
  • gundam seed
  • aot (iirc iseyama has opinions)
  • kantai collection (this level of nostalgia for ww2 military stuff definitely goes here)
  • space battleship yamato
  • universal century gundam (abstractly, if you take the read of zeon being close to 1 to 1 with imperial japan to be true)

i know there's way more on the tip of my tongue but i can't think of them rn. and if you could include any details on what makes you say it's about article 9 i'd appreciate that

It's kind of a mess of a show, so anything feels like a stretch, but I think some of the "nation in pursuit of true passivism" bit is tangentially in conversation with Article 9.

NGL I mostly wanted to post a picture of Relina's RBF lol

Stein's Gate? Maybe, if we're being broad. Unless that's what you meant by gate.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Gate is the "JSDF gets isekaied" show if I remember right

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

yep! used as actual recruitment propaganda for the jsdf

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Ah. Haven't seen that one.

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

haven't seen stein's gate, what makes you say that?

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Really reaching and my memory of the series isn't great lol, but in Stein's:Gate 0 the US and Russia have operatives in Japan fighting for control of a time machine. There's a timeline where WW3 breaks out and Japan is one of the hardest hit places. Can't help but feel like it might be a bit of a commentary on how Japan is just a place where superpowers are able to impose their will. Even season one's main antagonist organization was a foreign entity (SERN, a play on real life CERN).

Drifters, or at least the manga is.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

at least double digit percentage of all anime

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh undoubtedly! but i can't actually think of THAT many specifics that wouldn't be really massive stretches, so any you can think of would be appreciated

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

first that comes to mind is Zipang, that's really blatant

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

dang yeah. is that any good? the summary i read feels like it could potentially be interesting but i don't trust like that

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

it's uh extremely problematic, literally imperial japan apologia, but if you like alt-history stuff it's interesting.

Code Geass?

It's politics are kind of a mess though.
