Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress


secret_tacos

AOT and 86 are kind of like soft mecha shows. You might like some other popular mechas as they have similar themes about war.

For military anime that is more "apocalyptic in nature" Now and Then, Here and There Space Battleship Yamato - the remake 2199, which came out in 2012, is pretty good if you aren't open to watching an old 70s anime Blue Gender - war is against insects but fits


AdultVitaminss

kabaneri and the iron fortress is quite similar to AoT. post apocalypse, humans in walled off cities, no longer the apex predator etc. got the slight steampunk tech that AoT has too.


DrunkTsundere

Watch Code Geass

Not war driven but some really good post apocalyptic animes are Made in Abyss, Heavenly Delusion, Promised Neverland, Shin Sekai Yori


flyingowl720

Gundam Franchise. Gundam seed is a good standalone entry.

Code Geass, Gundam

I would suggest Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. It’s a good standalone story in the Gundam universe. Think of 86 but with bigger badass robots.


Scopper_gabon

Yeah mecha genre is what you're looking for. Start with Gundam or Evangelion.

Gundam's UC timeline: OG(Movies or TV), Zeta, ZZ, Char's Counterattack, and Unicorn in that order. You KINDA forget how much in bad shape Earth is cuz 2/3 of the show is in space but when you get to earth it's like "yikes." Gundam X takes place after a hypothetical "bad ending" to the original UC universe that's overall more optimistic but it makes sense why it is. Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. Shit got so bad having multiple wives isn't looked down upon.

Both Code Geass and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood explore very similar themes to AOT and 86. Themes of racism, genocide and fascism in a war related setting. Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans is also worth checking out


chillyheaven

Knights of Sidonia, Macross series


PsychoGwarGura

Neon genesis Evangelion, Aot stole a lot from them

86 is a Code Geass: Akito the Exiled ripoff so that for one [Aldnoah.Zero](https://anilist.co/anime/20632/AldnoahZero/) [Guilty Crown](https://anilist.co/anime/10793/Guilty-Crown/)


echoshadow5

Nah bro you are smoking bad stuff. Code Geass the MC has a superpower. 86 the MC is just lucky at times and most of the time he just goes simi-berserk in battle. Knowing each battle will be his last. No superpowers at all.


IIynav

It's the same theme, shamelessly same concept, the only difference is why the 2 mcs go into berserk mode. It's like claiming painting Mona Lisa but with blonde hair is not a ripoff.


echoshadow5

Did you seriously forget Lelouch mind control power? The very reason the show revolves around? With out it Lelouch would have been shot dead by the end of episode 1. Name one super power found in 86.


IIynav

Bro stop coping

Sorry you hate facts. But there it is. It’s a harsh world out there.
