So, prior to this I'm not usually interested in military theme series, but then I give Tanya a watch, and I'm hooked ! I've also watched the movie.

After that, I remember 86 and also finish those. The last one I've finished was Nippon Sangoku, and now I want more like these. I think it's related, but I also throw Sentenced to be a Hero having same vibe, though it's more focus on individual and has much more fantasy flavor setting-wise.

I don't really care about the interpersonal between the character, I think I just enjoy the campaign/battle theater and the logistic side of the war.

Please throw me some of yours recs ! Thanks

Edit: Still reading the recs you guys give, thanks a lot. But for some more context I've watched most of Gundam entries and the usual suspects for space opera so it's already on my radar. But then again maybe other find it helpful, so I don't mind.

Gundam: Iron-blooded orphans.

Valkyria Chronicles (yup, a videogame, but also a great anime based on it).

Right, I didn't list all the series I've watched cuz that just insane lol but I've watched the two IBO season. I really want to watch the Urdr-Hunt and the other short movie but idk if it's available anywhere beside just getting the BD.
