Me and a buddy at work were chilling during a long night stretch of nothing happening and bullshitting about anime when we had an idea for a Civil War anime. Basically like an animated version of Gettysburg/Gods and Generals sort of thing, complete with the lofty dialogue, attention to battles, uniforms, weapons, the history, all that. Except with the usual cast of multicolored hair waifus just thrown in as soldiers or generals on both sides, and it being taken totally seriously by all the rest of the characters who would be mostly accurately portrayed men, with a few exceptions like the blonde baseball captain dude being General Pickett, the usual dark haired calculating Student Council President who does the finger-glasses thing as General Lee. But the main cast would be the waifus, the fiery tsundere redhead as a Major of Artillery, a blonde cavalry Captain, the uncertain brunette protagonist as a new infantry lieutenant, etc. And if was done by an actual Japanese studio, it would end up being a hell of a lot more historically accurate than if it were done by modern Americans.
I'm not sure if it's actually one of the worst ideas ever, but I would watch the fuck out of it.
This thread lead me to discover an interesting piece of history:
The Emperor's Confederate Ironclad
When the U.S. Civil War ended in 1865, naval vessels were sold off in the hundreds as the nation turned to reconstruction. A number of vessels—such as the former CSS Stonewall (above, getting rammed by the Kaiten)—ended up in unexpected places. She saw her first combat not against the Union Navy, but against rebels battling the Meiji Emperor of Japan.
all of their stuff is good, and the visuals are earnest, looking at the songs from the perspectives of the peoples the songs represent, rather than grandstanding about them.
It wasn't a light gun game. There were three buttons, one for each door position. A bad guy shows up in one, you press the button to shoot him. In the meantime, you scroll between the 12 doors, with three onscreen at any one time.
This version of "I wish I was in Dixie" has been living rent free in my head since I first saw it posted somewhere a couple months ago. I would legit buy it, to have it in a higher quality than a youtube rip.
We're going to get a Confederate anime dating game soon aren't we?
We already have a Hitler dating sim, so why not.

I could see that Stonewall showing up in hot, big tt form. But she got renamed Kotetsu and then Azuma.
their version of battle hymn of the republic somehow makes me laugh manly tears of patriotism...

Okay.
Okay!
This is pretty cool.
One of my favorite arcade games ever will never be re-released...because the background music is "Dixie."
It was called Bank Panic. Sanritsu made it and Sega published it. Check it out in MAME sometime.
Good stuff. But then plasma TVs were the death of lightgun games.
I miss games like Time Crisis.

It's a lot more fun and twitchy than it sounds.
Ah. Cool.
