I couldn’t say why but the past few days as I’ve been working on my comics (and my Vanguard Marine Legion, around the edges) my brain has turned to doing something in an anime style. Is it the tv I’m watching while I sketch? Is it the heap of unbuilt DP9 Mecha from years past, mocking me from my shelf as mute plastic witness to my complete inability to bow to their angular complexity?
Probably a little of both.

So I followed my whim and began doing a little groundwork for something with a definite anime flavor. These are the first units of the JGSDF National Readiness Force, preparing to repel an attack on the city of Megasaki in the year 21XX. Tanks are from NCE via shapeways and have a really sharp “anime” look. Infantry as always is from O8. I aimed for soft colors with a cel shaded look to the edging. I think it works!
There are Grav tanks, and of course, Mecha in the works. BIG ones. and to fight them, there are even BIGGER ones! What’s an anime style game if you can’t go over the top, says I?
