FullmetalHagane

War is hell and your only methods to overcome it, is to survive, flee or die trying. Area 88 displays this in its old-school style.

Cestus

Solid war drama. Portrays the hardship of fighting in combat and the effects on its main character well.

Poitle

Fantastic production quality and one of the best last episodes in anime. Great action, drama, and attention to detail. The planes are real.

A nice realistic wartime anime love the aerial combat

Ayu_

Reminiscient of classic 60s or 70s western war dramas. Decent in what it does but not something that really appealed to me.
