Army-based anime is another category that makes us all excited to watch the entire season at once. In various military or war-based anime, we have seen the evolution of warfare where new and advanced technologies are experienced. In a way, we can say that the mechanics of the battle have changed over time, but the concept behind the war remains the same: kill your opponent before he kills you.
The armed forces portrayed in this anime use tanks, spaceships, and gas-powered mobility equipment. They also include a character who believes in playing mind games with the opponent in war and is weak in physical activities.

With the threat of terrorism looming over the nations of the world, Mithril, a covert international organization, was formed to fight terrorists by striking them in the heart with modern weaponry and highly trained and specialized warriors. The people are known as “whispered” human databases of “black technology”, which are the source of Mithril’s advanced technology.
Sagara, a military sergeant for the MITHRIL mercenary organization, disguises herself as a high school student to safeguard a ‘whispered’ girl who carries important technical secrets in her mind. Only anime could take that concept and add mechs, serious humor, and uncontrolled action.
This is all about military anime. Also, the list will be updated over time. Until then, stay tuned for Spoilerfox.
