>Ghibli Something in similar style and very interesting is The Tale of the Heike;
Heike Monogatari is criminally underrate. It's beautiful and it has probably one of the best OSTs of the year. Directed by Naoko Yamada and Composed by Kensuke Ushio, it's a masterpiece in making, retelling an old story anew. The style and story really remind me of Ghibli content, and I highly recommend it.
>Synopsis: The Taira clan, also known as the Heike, holds immense authority over Japan. When a young girl, gifted with an odd eye that allows her to see the future, foolishly disrespects the clan, her father pays the price of her crime with his life. Soon after, as fate would have it, Taira no Shigemori—the eldest son of the clan leader—stumbles upon the same unfortunate girl, who now calls herself "Biwa." Biwa informs him that the downfall of the Heike is imminent. After learning of the great injustice Biwa suffered at the Heike's hands, Shigemori vows to take her in and care for her rather than let her be killed. In an era of rising military tension, the Heike are in the midst of a cunning struggle for power, and bloodstained war is on the horizon. Shigemori, whose eyes allow him to see spirits of the dead, is both anxious and hopeful to prevent his clan's demise. Biwa, however, is reluctant to reveal the future to him and must adapt to her new life filled with both happiness and sorrow in this pivotal chapter in Japanese history. https://myanimelist.net/anime/49738/Heike_Monogatari MAL entry

Was going to make a new thread but then saw this one. Might as well post what I already wrote.
>Belladonna of SadnessThis 1971 film has a lot of sexual content, but it is one of the most beautifully drawn anime of all time and is a great audio-visual experience, with varied styles of art over the film. It includes incredibly experimental and interesting shots. Plot wise it tackles the sexual, religious and feudal heirarchy with great visual storytelling. It flips the idea of sexual corruption as bad, and turns satanist hedonism into a revolutionary force which only positively affects the villagers.
>GundamTomino's Gundam is a masterpiece because of how good the characters are. They are astoundingly well developed and feel real due to characterisation present in almost all episodes. Tomino's style of storytelling is obtuse, and the subext is not narrated out like in most anime, which many people really enjoy which is why the show has such a strong fan base. The themes of the original show are extremely well expressed in the last third, and a number of scenes towards the end are absolutely fantastic. As for the leftist analasys, Gundam is anti-fascist, with a possible Trotskyist degenerated worker's state analasys on the antagonist faction, who were originally a revolutionary anti-earth
eco-fascist group until they were taken over by a ruling familly. However, their ideology is not wrong as the Earth Federation opresses the space-underclass as well as destroying the planet. There is a lot to unpack here and the evil principality is well humanised despite being clearly in the wrong, except for Char who did nothing wrong. Tomino is known to have some sexist takes, but this isn't really present until the 90s and before that his anime all have strong women.
>Gurren LagannIt is the ultimate revolutionary anime. The entire show goes about combating conservatism and reactionism in a highly bombastic way, without making them seem evil. Instead, conservatism is just wrong and impossible to maintain. The show is epic, with very strong pathos and emotion in some very memorable scenes. It also wierdly has a bit on establishing a revolutionary government and revisionism.
>DallosIts literally about a socialist revolution and anti-imperialism, something which few western media depict even in a sci-fi setting. I have shilled it enough in other threads but this is a must watch for any socialist anime fan and its only 4 episodes so you have no excuse.
>Fang of the Sun DougramIts a long anime about a guerilla war against colonialists and their puppet government. The art and animation is awful but some of the characters are legendarily good and the plot is among the best in the medium. I only finished it recently and haven't had a good think about it but I completely recommend his one to people who enjoyed LoGH and Maoists.
>Shin Sekai YoriThis one is interesting. My reading is that
the show is about how reformism won't work and how people from the ruling class who oppose the system are transformed into the very upholders of that system, including the parts of it which killed their friends and enslave other humans. It unironically seems third worldist, with only the opressed race being able to rise up in revolution. I would definitely like to discuss this one with others.

Ghibli is mainstream garbage. I'll never understand retards creaming themselves over boring movies intended for boring people.

If you want to write your theses on anime do a better fucking job. It should take more than an hour and a couple of rewrites.
As for the folks posting pictures they themselves did not even create, shame on you. All you do is repost shit you don't even agree with, fucking a. Pictures are even less descriptive than those 3-sentence 'reviews' If anyone got something to say about a show that isn't generic and applicable to literally any other show be my guest.

>3-sentence 'reviews' ridden with grammar errors a 5 year old would know not to make offer any novel insights on what makes any of these shows good.It's ironic that you peak of grammar yet yours is hardly the best. Moreover this is an utter nonsequitur strawman
>If you want to write your theses on anime do a better fucking job. It should take more than an hour and a couple of rewrites.LMAO you have to be trolling right? That's not how movie reviews function - you summarize general concepts and their execution in a film, not nitpick every detail to oblivion, (though even the details are mostly well tended to in Ghibli films). The kind of thing you speak of is called an analysis and is something different from an audience review.
> folks posting pictures they themselves did not even create The fuck is this supposed to mean? I didn't create the English language so I shouldn't use it? I didn't create a photograph of a mountain so it can't be posted for an example? Get off your high horse you delusional dolt.
>Prove you are capable of doing this to even a single scene. Prove you aren't guttersnipe incapable of even the simplest of evaluations.1) There is nothing to prove to a simpleton using 'fancy' words they don't understand properly
2) People discuss things and explain them if necessary, shoving in extra, unrelated content does not make something nuanced or "not generic" it's just random.
3) This isn't even tangentially related to your first statement, you're just ranting and raving like a man-child.

>>20159the problem with what you want is that an author can't write characters that are smarter than him. and manga/LN authors aren't intellectuals. the suspension of disbelief while watching these
tactical animes often breaks - you should only watch them for the power fantasy and the fan service, if that is what you like
with this in mind, if you still want a military themed anime, I can think of some recommendations that aren't extremely cliche, but there aren't that many military themed animes
"zipang": 26 eps, rather long, boring towards the end, it is similar to what you would expect from western media
"urasekai picnic", "gate" and "tsuki to laika": these are more recent, require a shorter attention span, are loosely military-adjacent and belong to different genres (bipolar lesbians, otaku power fantasy, and anti-soviet romance, respectively)
if you want to start watching anime in general, start with "welcome to the nhk" if you are young, or "yuru yuri" if you aren't. you can use MAL to find recommendations, but as a general rule, avoid anything with a score
above 7.50 (there are exceptions)

Rewatched Ninja Scroll the movie and the TV-series recently and I've been craving more ninja manga and anime.
There's a silly Ninja harem manga called Ninkoi and another much older one called Rappi Rangai.
https://somewhereinthemidstofnowhere.wordpress.com/2022/10/20/manga-review-rappi-rangai-ninja-girls-a-fun-action-comedy/ While I'm open to suggestions, I'm honestly looking for something closer to Ninja Scroll or Basilisk, but most online lists I've seen for Ninja anime are pretty meh.
I've heard Ninja Kamui and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku are good, but most other suggestions are mid-shit, neither silly enough to be rom-coms, nor hardcore enough to be Action. Even something like TMNT would be nice.
