So, prior to this I’m not usually interested in military theme series, but then I give Tanya a watch, and I’m hooked ! I’ve also watched the movie.

After that, I remember 86 and also finish those. The last one I’ve finished was Nippon Sangoku, and now I want more like these. I think it’s related, but I also throw Sentenced to be a Hero having same vibe, though it’s more focus on individual and has much more fantasy flavor setting-wise.

I don’t really care about the interpersonal between the character, I think I just enjoy the campaign/battle theater and the logistic side of the war.

Please throw me some of yours recs ! Thanks

Edit: Still reading the recs you guys give, thanks a lot. But for some more context I’ve watched most of Gundam entries so it’s already on my radar.

      Oh, didn’t know this has adaptation, I think I played one of their entry. Thank you !

    Both of my suggestions have warfare mixed with fantasy, but you could try them to see if they scratch your itch.

    Drifters: famous warriors get isekai’d to a fantasy war and start waging a war on behalf of the subjugated elf population.

    Gate: a portal opens up in Tokyo and fantasy creatures try to invade Japan, only to find themselves against a modern day army.

    Bonus suggestion: Full Metal Panic. Mecha battles against terrorist organisations. The first season is a mix of serious and funny, following ones are more serious in tone. FMP Fumoffu is a spinoff with just the funny stuff. One of my all time favorites.

      I’ve watched FMP but not the other two and just to make sure, is this the one you mean :

      Gate

      Drifters

      I’ll go check both out, iirc there a new Gate coming out, but it’s a new timeline of something not related to this one, is that right or am I thinking of a different series?

      Thank you for the suggestion !

      Sword Art Online: Alicization + War of Underworld

      Which prequel did you mean? So I’ve watched the main season of SAO back when it’s aired, but I don’t think it’s for me (too much romance going on story-wise) so I dropped it. Is this the prequel you mean?

      I liked the 2nd season but it’s Gun-Gale. So I’ve watched those and it’s SAO Gun-Gale spin-off. I already watched the rest of your suggestions’.

        watched the main season of SAO

        liked the 2nd season but it’s Gun-Gale

        That’s good enough IMO. As long as you can recognise some of the returning characters, and not be too lost, you’re good to go!

        Also, I should have elaborated in the original comment:

        super minor SAO: Alice meta spoiler

        The first part (Alicization) of this big arc is the precursor / setup towards the big war. The war only truly starts in the second part (War of Underworld).

        already watched the rest of your suggestions

        Glad you have watched the rest!

      I watched it on a whim because the premise sounded ridiculous, and it is. But it’s also awesome.

      Putting together wholesome girl friendships and vicious tank battles shouldn’t work, but somehow it does.

    “Legend of the Galactic Heroes” for some space flavor. “Sound of the Sky” for some Slice of Life. Or get your Isekai fix with “GATE” or “Alderamin on the Sky”. There are also some Gundam shows that are more militaristic than others, but I’m not the right one to say which of them fall in which category, since I only watched them sporadically.

    Then there are franchises like Azure Lane and Girls and Panzer to take it into the absurdist direction. Girls and Panzer is actually not bad once you come to terms with the general premise. Give it a chance.

      Sound of the Sky | Alderamin on the Sky

      Both looks promising, I think I’ll watch this two first.

      Others already mention Girls und Panzer so it’s in the backlog, and looking at Azure Lane it looks like some gacha game or something, is this all female world or something like that? I’ll give this one a ‘maybe’, but thank you for the other suggestions !
