My top animes of war for anyone into that specific genre. If anyone has suggestions please list them and make a comparison to one of mines listed if possible, but if not its ok because I feel as if there is a void I need to fill on the matter of war. (Note#1 slot is a must watch)
1. **Legend of Galactic Heroes** - 110 episode series made in 1988 that is mind blowing, philosophical, and a political thriller, that puts you in the POV of strategists and tacticians, with a real feel for how things were, are now, and may come to be in the future for mankind and war itself, a real gem of a anime underrated to the core. There are many metaphors and quotes in this anime that make you think history does repeat itself if you never noticed check a history book and watch this show as it allaberates, but for now just read this one passage from the show below surround by (**).
(*And yet another war... If one were to say that the history of mankind is the history of war, few would disagree. If there is such thing as "progress" for mankind... No one can say that "progress" is not born of war. Perhaps man is a creature that must fight until the last one is dead.
In war, great amounts of blood, tears, and knowledge are consumed, and many peoples dreams and ambitions crumble. In any age, there are people who want to change the world. But only the people of that era can evaluate how such ambitions changed the world. This is because values change with the times, as do historians interpretaions. But a few ambitious people left their mark, and their names were burned into history, these people are called heroes.*)
2.**Gundam 0079, Gundam Zeta, Gundam ZZ** - Although there is three different series listed at second, when watched in the order listed it becomes one big story of as Jiraiya Sensei would say the cycle of hatred and never ending war..
Starting with 0079 which has meaning in the story, it also stands for the year it was made. There is also a 8th MS Team,0080, 0083 inbetween 0079, and the Zeta ,ZZ series with differnece being that 0079 came first, 8th ms team next , folowed by 0080 (1980), 0083 (1983), then Gundam Zeta and ZZ within this particular gundam universe of U.C timeline stories.
The reason for listing 0079, Zeta, and ZZ is because these series cast the same characters from the orignal 0079 in each series and you meet new people and some old ones die, but in war your life is never promised. Although you skip 08th MS and the 0080's series (which are good) you dont really miss as much as you think, and 0079 Zeta and ZZ seems like a conclusion to the original Leading to my #3 Slot..
3.**Mobile Suit Gundam Chars Counterattack**- Set in the U.C timeline this is movie ranked third and not with the other series of gundam in slot #2 simply because its a movie, but it accomplishes its goal to finishes the fight between the antagonist and protagonist who fought against each other in 79, then as comrades apart of the same faction... to only fight against each other at the end who will win?
4.**Basilisk**- How should I put this anime... If Naruto had a adult rating it would be like this..
5.**Berserk**- What can I say war is hell!!! this show has medieval era feel to it and would be ranked second... the only reason this series is ranked fifth is because its incomplete with a half ass job of trying to finish it up with movies (what were they thinking).
6.**Code Geass**- This awesome show had alot going for it that I wanted, and alot of the stuff I didn't want, as far as the main character is concerned he is smart and tactical yet in ways weak, a smooth talker with a agenda for revenge. A great show it really is at 50 episodes with two seasons combined that made me feel like I was trying to get somewhere while watching it but never could, sort of like filling a water bottle with no bottom to it... it will never happen!! and the ending to the show is like saaaayyyyy whaaaaaa serious!?!?
7.**Naruto shippuden**- I love the ninja out of this show!! but as far as war goes its incomplete and missing the best parts, also with alot of fillers during the war arc of shippuden you may forget sometimes there is a war. But excluding fillers and the first oh 150 episodes give or take atleast anything before the pain arc its pretty cool this Great Shinobi War.
Anything that anyone would like to add do so and lets debate !

eath Frenzy. Basilisk is about the Iga and Koga ninja clans fighting for dominance.
