| Ancient Egypt...? YuGiOh is for you! It's time to dudududududud duuuuuel! |
| Victorian Romance Emma 19th century |
 |
| ...Axis Powers Hetalia? Hey, there's some history in that. Good luck finding any historical anime that isn't Japanese history, though. I'm sure there a few set in Victorian England or something, but ancient, non-Japanese history? Good luck. |
| Try the stuff from World Masterpiece Theater, anime based on famous works of literature from around the world. You'll find anime versions of Anne of Green Gables (turn of the century Canada) and Heidi (19th century Switzerland and Germany) among others. |

| Grave of the Fireflies tells WW2 through the lens of a Japanese family, and presents its story honestly. It's one the few movies, anime or otherwise, that I consider beautiful. If you liked GoF, "Ushiro no Shoumen Dare" is worth checking out, though it lacks the same grace and impact. Both of these films avoid the only-family-in-Japan-to-oppose-the-war stereotype and refrain from whining Haven't watched Barefoot Gen or Rail of the North Star, but I previewed them and they seem similar. For manga, try Town of Evening Calm, though I found it somewhat whiny. There's quote along the lines of "so you got another kill ... are you happy?" Good manga, though Seeing WW2 through "enemy" eyes can be interesting, and these anime are great experiences |
| Le Chevalier d'Eon- 18th Century France (during French Revolution), and is also historically accurate regarding the politics of the time... minus the magic part of it. |
 |
| Peace Maker Kurogane - Edo period Samurai Champloo - Edo period Steamboy - 19th century England Gainax's new anime after Panty & Stocking will be a series set during early 20th century Britain as well. |
| Berserk - medieval Europe (but no specified country and with fantasy elements) |

| I know quite a few manga that sort of fit the description, but I can't think of any anime. |
| the few that i know are from a victorian era kind of thing: D.grayman pandora hearts kuroshitsuji yugioh is sort of egyptian i guess |
| what about history do you like to see in anime? I personally think that LOGH has lot of hostorical background that its practically considered a history anime despite being in space. |
| Grave of the Fireflies, set in WWII. |
| Enzai- shota hentai set during French Revolution Dog of Flanders- 19th century Belgium, based on a true story of a boy and his dog Gun Frontier- has a science fiction bend to it but its basically the only anime Western that exists. It's like Captain Harlock with cowboys The Cockpit: It's a three part OVA series about axis WWII pilots. |
