Well, I suppose Japan might not be as interested as I hoped (but as interested as I expected), but that's still not going to stop me from commissioning AC to make a poster for it (I might actually have to pay for it).

But does anyone have any idea for an anime if it was made? From different sources I found, ideas included


 * A Japanese main character (or at least initial viewpoint character), maybe a gormless servant of the Japanese ambassador, who is accidentally drafted in the Union Army.


 * Including steampunk elements, maybe some fantasy elements.


 * Hot moe chicks.


 * Make it a High School AU, with the events of the ACW adapted into school events.

And others. -I can see that being a good premise, with chances to be funny, serious, explore internal/ external US and Japanese realtions. He could even be under the command of Ulysses S. Grant who perfectly fits the reckless warrior stereotype.

-I see that as being more likely the case as getting approved by Japanese companies, set in an AU where the exact same conflict is happening but not quite.

-Dear god no, feel that would be a disservice to the entire war. Although they could probably get away with a southern belle...

-Translating states rights and slavery into a highschool setting would be interesting to see.

You could also do a over-the-top gore anime with all the death and all. Soliers constantly lost limbs in one shot thanks to lead balls, and one story I remember was young man sheltering behind a wall of dead men to escape the cold.
