| Animes that focuses on war, battle scenes and the progress of the faction, country or something like a band of mercenarys that has a big purpose/story. * Seinen * R - 17+/R+ * Minimal of 20 episodes Nohting should be or feel rushed in the storyline, timeline and in how they progress forward. No mecha, robots. Please.. nothing like: https://myanimelist.net/anime/3667/Strike_Witches 3 series that i like and a kind of prefences of what i'm looking for: https://myanimelist.net/anime/28249/Arslan_Senki_TV https://myanimelist.net/anime/12031/Kingdom https://myanimelist.net/anime/12413/Jormungand (This is kind of not what i said i'm looking for, but they do have a lot of military action scenes in both seasons that i find acceptable) And what about Black Lagoon? Yeah but the their story is not "big" big. |

| Phantom : requeim for the phantom ( more like jormungand . one of my fav.s ) Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin ( only 13 , I'm still watching it and wondering why it's not that popular ) Joker games ( a military one but I didn't watch it though ) Edit : I thought u ve watched " Gate " but it's only in ur PTW. You should see it. |
| To me it looks like you're describing Utawarerumono. It is set in a medieval/fantasy setting, and is filled with war strategy and battle scenes. It has a bit of a twist on its focus near the last episodes though, but that only makes the story more interesting. I think you should give it a try. Tears to Tiara is also very similar to what you are describing. It's also set in a medieval/fantasy setting, and it's about a clan who is trying to fight an oppressive empire. This show is very similar to Utawarerumono, so if you dislike one you shouldn't even watch the other. I think they are both very good though, you'll probably enjoy them. Drifting a bit away from your description and a bit more into the shows you've listed as ideal, I'll recommend you Seirei no Moribito. It's pretty similar to Arslan Senki, but it isn't about war, it's about a prince who is suffering several assassination attempts from his own father, and then his mother hires a mercenary to take him away and protect him. The story may seem a little cliche at first, but the character development is pretty impressive. |

I watched the beginning of Utawarerumono, it felt rushed and it lost interest already after 8 episodes. I've seen Tears of Tiara. Seirei no Moribito i have it in my plan to watch list already. But thanks for the answer and tips :) |

| Black Lagoon is good and highly compared to Jormungand due to similar theme and settings. I would suggest you to try on Valkyria Chronicles if you don't mind of militia fighting full-fledged army. Anything else will be as follow: - Saiunkoku Monogatari - Utawarerumono (followed quite closely with the VN) - Gunslinger Girl My impression on GATE isn't that good. Will not recommend to you if you really want war themed anime. |

Thanks. puking said: I've seen it and it's good, but that is a mecha anime.. that i don't looking for right now. Thanks anyway :)Schwarzesmarken Minerva_WiseOwl said: something inside me wanted to recommend a certain plane and tank series(i consider war and military anything that have references to guns vehicles etc), but judging from the first posts, i guess you wont like cute girls doing seeming cute stuff. Girls und panzer? Seen it. |

Minerva_WiseOwl said: yep (tv and movie), i like tanks but not necessarily the cute girls doing some bad assery of commanding one. But i think its not for op who,i would assume, likes more serious stuff. Yes indeed, more serious stuff. |

| Unfortunately there's not a lot of Seinen-war focused animes... it gets difficult to find one with 20+ episodes (unless they have 2 seasons)... So i'll have to give you some pg-13 ones that weren't mentioned. P.S. I didn't check your completed list Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Code Geass - i heard you dropped it but w/e it's in everyone's military/war anime list Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - old gundam fans hate this Senjou no Valkyria Aldnoah.Zero Alderamin on the Sky - Madhouse studios made this. Only downside is this has a slow start and so it takes a while to get into Arslan Senki Black Lagoon Overlord - not really but w/e Guilty Crown - kinda Full Metal Panic Jormungand - like black lagoon Hellsing Ultimate - there are Nazis so technically Darker than Black Phantom no Requiem Black Cat - not really Attack on Titan - kinda? Fullmetal Alchemist - well this are wars in a sense... Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari - really childish tone though Break Blade - TV and Movie series are basically the same pacing Jyu Oh Sei Kill la Kill Chromed Shelled Regios - but only after anime ends lol Drifters - still airing and won't make it very fary (i read the manga) Titania - i forgot what this was about Yamato 2199 - battleship in space Xam'd: Lost Memories Eureka Seven K: Return of the King - sorta? Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings battle for the Shogun position Berserk - not really Trigun - well... 1 guy vs world Zetsuen no Tempest - ugh, a tree will destroy the world... witches... blah blah blah Kingdom (season 1 has terrible CGI though but it's a great series to read and s2 is alot better) Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Nobunaga the Fool - it's a hit or miss Vandread - it's a hit or miss Legend of the Galactic Heroes - it's a hit or miss RahXephon - hit or miss Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou Kakumeiki Valvrave - if you don't mind plot holes Joker Game Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu - kinda Owari no Seraph - kinda... Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - bit of a stretch Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku Girl Und Panzer - kinda... Ghost in the Shell - this was rushed because the anime series was cancelled and turned into a movie Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta - had a lot of potential but failed to delivery in the end Oda Nobunaga - moe though >.> Sidonia no Kishi - the character designs confuses me a lot Gate - pretty sure everyone watched this by now though >.> Gunslinger Girl Macross - if you can get pass all the ridiculous artwork and annoying singing... So Ra No Wo To Armored Trooper Votoms - very old Mobile Suit Gundam - very old... The Princess and the Pilot - movie by madhouse Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere II Maria the Virgin Witch - this is a huge stretch First Squad: The Moment Of Truth - terrible but still... Kantai Collection - It's like Strike Witches which says alot... But honestly if you like seinen and just something a little f**ked up in general like say a zombie apocolypse/post-apocolypse then i suggest Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica . And do not be deceived by the title, artwork, or girls... shit gets real pass episode 5 and it gets worth-while from that point onwards. ^ I've avoided this series for the longest time since the name and artwork put me off but i don't regret watching it after many years had gone by. Especially when the sequel movies came out recently before i decided to watch this |
