This went from a bloody medieval battle to a massacre in seconds

A piece of advice for the empire: if the guys who were winning start to retreat, start running

This anime took the saying "any sufficient enough advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" into the extreme.

Can we just appreciate the one guy who shot an arrow at an attack chopper

This entire anime reminds me of the phrase “some men think they can outsmart me, maybe, I have yet to met one that can outsmart bullet”

When you mess with some kid and he brings his older brother and his friends.

Someone forgot to upgrade their Tech on CIV

"You must be the strongest military in your world, right?"
"Oh, we're only the fifth strongest actually."
"What."

What I love about this anime, even though the JSDF knows that the enemy were technologically inferior, they didn't underestimate the enemy one bit.

Imagine train you whole life mastering spear and formation...bunch of off worlder show up with metal bird that shoot fire.

The fact that the two biggest threats in the show are American, Russian, and Chinese assassins and the Japanese public's outrage over five soldiers being badasses really highlights the sheer amount of power imbalance.

It's like the writers watched an alternate history video on "How long could a modern military hold out in Roman times?", saw the answer was "Until their ammunition runs out," and decided to make an anime where the ammunition can't run out.

Chivalry? Meet your successor, Industrialized Killing.

Medieval: We has tons of men and magic

Modern: G U N

It's honestly scary if you put yourself into their shoes. You're used to being able to see the enemy up close and personal, with swords and maces striking armor. But now you're going up against a faceless machine that is capable of killing hundreds of men in seconds with a click of a button.

"Violence that no human can witstand"
Nukes: oh dont look at us, we dont bring violence, we just bring the sun right to your face

4:42 "Absolute violence that no human can withstand..."

WW1~WW2 sit in the back :Yeah its been some tough times.

3:27 "Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading."

I feel like this show is the closest thing we'll ever get to a Stargate anime.

This entire Anime is literally the embodiment of "Fuck around and find out".
