If you insist.


 * Again, have the main (or at least initial viewpoint) character be a servant of the Japanese ambassador who is mistakenly drafted into the Union Army.


 * I imagined him meeting a black medic upon getting his first assignment and, despite an initially awkward meeting (since he's probably never met a black man before), they end up best friends throughout the war.


 * Depending on what point in time the story starts when he's drafted (right as the war begins or a year later), when they go to do battle they believe it'd be simple and with few casualties but sustain many casualties in the first volley (since rifles were more accurate).


 * The Japanese character would probably get wounded and the black medic would probably haul him out of there, and he'd end up attended by a female nurse who may/may not become his love interest.


 * The main antagonist/Confeserate leader would probably be a fictional character, maybe having some connection to the main character (like, idk, talking down some local racists in Maryland before the two joined their respective armies. I just thought of that now though.)


 * I had the idea of a half-Native American chick with an old British red coat and a musket (which she is a marksman with despite its clearly stated inaccuracy) serving as a mercenary for the Union before either dying or switching sides (and may serve as a spunky false love interest).


 * A mute soldier wearing an old bag-hood that appears intimidating but in actuality is visibly afraid of dying. Despite wearing the same kind of hood the KKK would eventually wear, the black medic is the only one not initially uneased by him.


 * When under siege in a fort and facing a coming battle, the cast sings "Battle Hymn of the Republic" (in English, the Japanese love that), though this last one is a personal thing.

It's heavily incomplete, I'd like to hear what you guys think and what you'd like see in the anime.
