Perhaps that is as close as they can get to glorifying their own exploits in WW2 without being seen to glorify them? Are there any Germans here who can say whether German comics deal directly with German exploits in WW2? I hasten to add that I think both countries, from a military point of view, were admirably effective.
As for recruiting drive, I am not thinking of anything direct, just of making people interested in and comfortable with military affairs. Not that I can blame them: in China, every small newsstand has a couple of magazines about world weaponry.
In any case, I have made a
characters/seiyuus page for this show. Not my usual, with pics and info about the seiyuus, since there are so many of them in the show that the page would get so long as to be inconvenient. Just a pic of each character and a link to info about their seiyuu. I find it useful for keeping people straight, too. It's based on the main characters page on the official site.
Our next opponent, the American school, features seiyuu work from Kawasumi Ayako, Ise Mariya and...Hirano Aya!
@Tak -- Love that recruitment video. Would be effective in recruiting women to the navy, perhaps? Lol. To further make my point, that happy, comic approach is what I am talking about, too: making people comfortable with the military.
