Because Japanese and many people outside of history geek community don't get the fun behind history

What historic event would make a good anime?

The Sengoku Period might be cool.

expeditions to the Americas

What about Gintama?

Because most people like to be ignorant baboons.

Spanish Civil War
Winter War/Continuation War
Pretty much anything to do with ROME

I personally want to see anime set in late 19th - early 20th century and centered around the political struggles of the era. For example, a story about guys like Bonnot and Savinkov would be actually interesting.
This is not their choice.

And now seriously, without questionable political messages - biography of Fiore dei Liberi. Asians love martial arts so they might actually love the story about foreign martial arts teacher's path from some minor noble with little to no land dedicating his life to his passion, following known warriors from town to town, fighting fake teachers, having a commanding post during one of the many private wars and stuff.

probably cuz anime is made to sell merch/blurays/manga. i figure even popular historical manga like kingdom don't get good anime because they figure they won't make much money.

why bother when you get the cathedral's, corporate press's, or establishment version of the history

Because media should improve over itself

I guess the Crusades, specifically the 1-4th crusades. They’re the most interesting, though another historical setting to cover as an Anime would be the Spanish Conquest of Mexico.

Fucking this

This, although it is still only a One-Shot.

They chose to keep their ignorance, just as you chose to read this reply to the end. There's always a choice.

Customizing history to your personal worldview can be fun. Why do you think unofficial translators continue to provide their work for free? Because they get a power trip out of flaunting their interpretation of a story to you.

Hundreds of years of isolationism. Japan had to be dragged kicking and screaming into international politics in the 1800s and they haven't exactly done well in the century and a half since.

Mukashi no Hanashi is new and is written by Matsumoto Taiyou

anybody know what that one magna was called where it was about the hundred year war between england and france? I saw it here like 6 years ago.

Because the average Japanese anime watcher needs to be able to insert themself into everything, even when it doesn't make sense. That's why Giorno Giovanna is half Japanese for some reason.

This. Japanese literally know jack shit outside of their islands and maybe Korea and China. People like to joke that burgers are historically ignorant but they and their ancestors are at least connected to different histories globally

>There's always a choice.
Not really. Sometimes there are no means. To educate yourself you have to have free time. And some people realise that they can't have it

The story of the Prophet Muhammad

At that point it's either the comfort of lifestyle security or the potential reward of breaking routine. You could make the argument of a choice being exerted in either direction (denying the gamble, or acknowledging that your current lifestyle is a farce), but the only real logic for "there never was a choice" is having zero awareness of other lives; we're talking to each other right now so obviously there's at least your life and mine, but someone born and surviving in a desert only ever thinks about seeing tomorrow.

Is MC just gonna be a constant light censor on screen? Maybe a talking geometric pattern? Cause those French people lost their lives over that.

The only crazy people in Japan are the Japanese. Don't mind.

Crisis of the Third century from the POV of a simple solider who became emperor and almost saved the world

Its only a manga rather than an anime, but theres "Otome Sensō Dívčí Válka" if you're interested. its based around the Husite wars in bohemia in 1420. knights getting their shit pushed in by dudes in wagon forts.

A nameless soldier anthology. Conflicts across history, with historical figures commanding, fighting alongside, or opposing someone whose name is never known. The silhouette turns out to be the exact same being every time.
