We Love Cold War!! The Anime

My thesis film for Sheridan Animation 2023! If you enjoyed it, please like, subscribe, and follow my socials for more art stuff~ It's pretty much just an animated homage to my interests in anime and historical vibes. Gonna try to make more stuff w/ Naomi/Val potentially with comics or short sequel animations!!

I don’t know why, but people always seem to forget the Korean War arc, it was personally one of my favorites.

Fun fact: the animation displays an interesting quirk of the Citroen DS. As it has self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension, it can actually drive on 3 wheels, which saved the life of president Charles de Gaulle on an assassination attempt on the 22nd of August, 1962, similar as shown here. There are multiple videos on the internet showing Citroen test drivers driving them on 3 wheels as a bit of a party trick as well.

Fun Fact: the scoter with a cannon was actualy a unit that meant to be used by the french expeditionary forces in Vietnam, they were first designed in 1955 in italy and was first produced in 1956 until the fall of Dien Bien Phu because they were useless for the Vietnam war.
theyvwere used as anti-tank vehicle by paratroopers as they got a 75mm cannon, they could penetrate a 100mm thick armor, they were easier to manouver and the last thing is that the model they used was a Piaggio Vespa 150.












Holy moly 700 likes that is crazy

The fact that you researched the actual guns, vehicles and uniforms used by both sides is impressive. We'll done!

God I’d love an actual anime based around cold war spy thrillers. Basically worlds greatest assassin reincarnated but the Cold War.

[Amanwholovesgood_stories]

This feels like a cartoon or an anime which wouldd either have the friendliest and least toxic fandoms or the most clinically insane one.

I love how this was both batshit crazy and also completely accurate. The “batshit crazy” part includes the Trabants going fast enough for a chase scene

[secondbeamship]

The Cold War was quite a departure from the World War arcs. The fans were initially disappointed the teased sequel never came but as time has gone on fans have warmed up to the charm and lower stakes of the Cold War arc.
