So,

A while back I made a thread on MAL about a hypothetical anime that centers around a certain time period or historical setting. This is kinda similar to that, but instead focusing on a specific historical figure.

TLDR: Are there any historical figures that you would like to see be made an Anime around?

I think it would be cool to see an Anime made about either Gaius Julius Caesar, Billy the Kid, or Peter the Great.

Obligatory Hitler

Seriously though, a Nazi anime would be pretty interesting...


What's the difference?

While I would love Frederick the Great the most, I think Alexander the Great, Belisarius, or Hannibal Barca would be the best choice for a show. While Frederick the Great is a strategic genius, I doubt it would be as fun to watch line battles like Leuthen rather than something like Cannae.

Well maybe Drifter would fit the bill but the setting is way too much of a mess.

Fate/Stay Night could also be a good choice but they alter the characters quite a bit.

However, if you can take manga i'd highly recommend Kingdom as it is the best thing when it comes to historical to me.

Kublai Khan.

I can't wait for him to be genderswapped and wearing g-strings, or be a loud-mouth shounen moron MC ala Kingdom. Because it's Japan. With the exception of Junketsu no Maria, when have they ever made a good medieval battle centric anime without magic or g-strings or shounen loudmouths?

Too many Natsus. Too little Shiroes. F*ckit. All of it.

Napoleon would be interesting animated since it was said he was very short...

Alexander Hamilton maybe? lol the musical was great but I'm not sure how Japan will treat American figures...

An anime about vikings would be very interesting!

i would like to see a anime about Emperor Franz Joseph of the house of Habsburg

the man led an interesting life to say the least, came into power amid strife and died amid the great war, and his life was a series of tragedies.

Well in Fullmetal Alchemist you have:
- A fuehrer
- The blonde hair blue eyes thing
- Race Extermination
- Human Experimentation

I think an attempt at an accurate historical depiction of the Nazi regime and Hitler in anime would be a massive catastrophe. But I wouldn't mind being proven wrong..

I'd get a good laugh though seeing Ben Franklin be as perverted as Issei or something, since he apparently loved whores.

None though really, because while I like how drifters injected historical figures, an anime centered around one in their time period is not going to be created by a historian or anyone who really knows there shit, so it will be a clusterfuck. The one's about Japanese history don't bother me because I know jack shit about it (ex. Imagine a WWII anime where Stalin and Hitler are 14 year old girls......lol not good.)

Are you even serious? Napoleon wasn't short, he was of average height for his time. It's just that his personal guard was super tall so he looked short in comparison. Height was even an official requirement to be picked.

Just go watch Drifters already, it's a fun ride. It's got Hitler, Jeanne D'Arc, Anastasia Romanov, Hannibal and of course lots of significant people from Japanese history.

I would absolutely watch an anime about Genghis Khan. I would really just love more historical anime in general.

An anime about El cid would be amazing. (Despite it existing already, but it's pretty bad)
