How Japan’s ‘BBC’ is rewriting its role in the Second World War

But the focus is on the strike witches like these two.  They are each modelled on real life WWII fighter aces.  The whackiest part is that, in this world, all females walk around with no pants on, strike witches or not.   

Why does her shirt say US Army then?  The chairforce will be outraged their porny pantless fighter ace is in the army.

What MiM said.  That character is based on real life US WWII ace Chuck Yeager, who is still alive as at today.  The anime producers asked him if it is ok for a half naked anime character to model after him

I wonder if he can still do strafing runs with a P-47...

But kinda back to the original topic...it seems most nations go through a cyclical period of increasingly growing nationalism up until getting smacked down by a greater power/alliance. 

Some go through that cycle faster than others...especially the defeated/smacked-down countries seem to do so at even more accelerated rate (to make up for some idea of shame perhaps).

I think I might call it the "tetherball" theory of cyclical nationalism.

Aliens invade during WWII...all the major powers unite against them....women without pants. 

Sounds like they ripped off a Turtledove novel.

Women wore pants in those novels.

It was a crack about the bad sex scenes in Turtledove novels. 

And I don't think the lizards wore pants...

For anyone who wants to check out the anime, the chronological watching order is -

OVA - Season 1 - Season 2 - film. 

The OVA is hard to find.  It is a test run to see audience reaction so that they can modify the character designs.  So the OVA characters look a bit different from their usual forms.  The OVA is not really connected to the rest story-wise, so it is not fatal to skip it.  Don't watch the film before the two TV seasons, as there are spoilers about the ending. 

Season 3 is in production, and will probably feature a different cast.

Countries love whitewashing their pasts.  I'm not going to hold a bunch of shit that happened  70 years ago against modern Japan, especially when Japan is needed to help encircle and destroy China.

In reality, I am sure that overall Japanese porn is no more weird than U.S. porn.  You can find extremes in both.

Check out Dogma productions.

Japan is a far greater threat.

Sounds unlikely.

I always do. It's my curse.

Not a lot of animated porn in the US.  I imagine it exists, but much easier to pay some junkie then to animate it.

Your lack of respect for women is disturbing and sad.
