Synopsis

"Here in Manchuria, the cheapest thing you'll find is a person's life."

In 1937, Isamu Higata is sent to the Japan-controlled Chinese puppet state of Manchukuo to serve in its standing army. After losing sight in his right eye during battle, he's banished to an agricultural facility where he's constantly abused by the commanding officers. Then, in a dusty corner, he discovers a field of poppies, the raw materials for opium. In order to raise money for his seriously ill mother, Isamu decides to produce the illicit drug—a choice that sends his future and the fate of all Manchuria into directions unknown.

Manshuu Ahen Squad is a story set in the historically largely unrecognized puppet state of Manchukuo. It is a story set in the periods of tense war between China and Japan.
To preface my review, I would like to start by saying that I am Chinese, and I had been to Nanjing's massacre museum during my exchange trip there.
I shouldn't have to prove it, but here are some photos I took there https://imgur.com/a/k95bhHA (there are spots where you're not supposed to take pictures out of respect, but these are the ones I took.)
The first reviewer called this Japanese propaganda and a Nanking denier, but I for ...

Preliminary (19/? eps)
As much as I enjoy a good historical drama, this just isn't it. While certainly the setting, art design, and context seem to be right, the story does not pull through with the same degree of believability.

The reason being is that despite having aspirations of being a serious historical drama - with its detail into the opium black market trade of the time and attempts for a serious dramatisation of the characters' plights, Manchurian Opium Squad pulls too many tropes from more pulpy genres (the main dude at the moment seems to be building some kind of weird opium-led harem) and thus it has ...

Devoid of context, substance and the willingness to be gritty, Manshuu Ahen Squad excels at being a naive and misleading reimagining of a real history. The style and setting is there but with a story so absent that fails horribly in complementing it's own canvas, it's just empty, ignorant, and at times miserably funny. It's a generic wise-guy harem power fantasy with shallow and superficial conflicts pretentiously posing as something greatly sinister through overly dramatized comedic and sentient circumstances that always resolve themselves ineffectively with a painfully obvious lazy writing, case in point, Rin's absurdly convenient "photographic memory", and the damsel in distress scene with ...
