The only other anime to deal with a WWII theme is the 1993 three ep OVA called The Cockpit by Leiji Matsumoto.

Not quite. Zipang also involves WWII, albeit the Pacific theater.

I always forget about that anime. :lol:

Zipang is like the anime version of The Final Countdown movie, other then its Japan that goes back in time and not the US.

This has "Love me Fish love me" written all over it and underlined. Seriously, Russian psychic corps vs. undead Holy Roman Crusaders? It's like they know where I live.

I also find the cooperation of three different animation companies from different countries very compelling (no Germans though. Heh). I'd be highly supportive of a global animation industry/community.
