>>130065One of the few shows that's stickler for historical accuracy in everything it does: guns, technology uniforms, cuisine, culture, locations/climate/terrain, native plants and animals, and tribal differences of the variety of ethnic groups in Japan and surrounding islands.
They characters will speak different dialects and even different languages like Russian when it comes up instead of just dubbing it or putting on an accent.
They also cover not just the conflict between the Yayoi Yamato (Modern Japanese) and native Jomon Ainu but also Russian, Tatar, and Polish characters and history (Alexander II/People's Will/Narodnaya Volya, Russo-Japanese war, Karafuto/Sakhalin island, etc.)
They also touch on other Native minorities you hardly ever see like Koito who's Hayato and genetically similar to Pacific Austronesians
Not to mention the time period in general is great because it's on the cusp of WW1 so Japan is still an empire but has a bunch of technology and shit like the Maxim the first fully automatic machine gun.
