Instead, he’s guided by the events of the First World War that concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 1919. All this time, I was under the assumption that Isao was involved in it, but it turns out his goals are much greater than the raw resources of Manchuria. It didn’t seem like one while actually watching this episode, but hearing Isao say that there are good and bad results from Ishiwara Kanji‘s conspiracy behind the Mukden Incident and insist that Lytton’s report would uncover the truth behind it really changed my perspective on things. In other words, we have a fictional story that adheres to historical facts yet includes characters with superhuman-like abilities to spice things up.Ĭonsidering how everything that’s taken place up to this point has been geared towards the upcoming Second Sino-Japanese War, I actually found the change of focus to World War II a rather big twist. I haven’t mentioned this yet, but one of the reasons why the whole Senkou no Night Raid espionage theme has been so appealing is because it reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 3‘s fictional take on the Cold War. I can’t speak for everyone, but when an anime tackles something of that magnitude, I’m totally drawn in just to see what its fictional take on it is. While probably less controversial, the scale is by far and wide immensely incomparable, as Takachiho Isao suggests a war to end all wars may be necessary. Just when I thought Anime no Chikara was ambitious for animating the Mukden Incident, it turns out that was just a precursor to their real goal - the untold fictional events leading up to the Second World War.
