PLOT
"Zipang" is a military-themed anime series that aired from 2004 to 2005, based on a manga of the same name by Kaiji Kawaguchi. The story revolves around the modern Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force warship, the Mirai, and its crew. While on a training exercise in the Pacific Ocean, the Mirai encounters a mysterious storm and is transported back in time to the midst of World War II, right before the Battle of Midway. Armed with advanced technology and weaponry far beyond anything available in that era, the crew of the Mirai grapples with the complex situation they find themselves in. They struggle with the consequences of their actions and the potential changes they could make to history, trying to uphold a policy of non-intervention in the war while dealing with both the Japanese and Allied forces. "Zipang" is a series that presents an intriguing "what if" scenario, exploring the themes of duty, morality, and the weight of history. It offers a blend of realistic military strategy and sci-fi elements, making it appealing to fans of both historical and speculative fiction.
