Why are there so few works that portray Japanese history without some sort of (or a lot of) craziness like Sengoku Basara? There's so much cool shit they could portray, like the story of each of the Three Spears of Japan, the castle sieges, the Tokugawa family, the arrival of Christian pilgrims and so on. They could clear up misconceptions on things like diehard loyal samurai and the whole mysticism regarding ninja, etc.

Not to mention the 1v1's between field commanders to solve major battles in front of their armies. I think it'd be pretty rad. They don't need to put fantasy shit in it to make it cool, really.

aren't historical (japanese only) themes in basically every single anime tho?

Because the main consumers of anime had enough of realistic depictions of historical events in Japanese dramas already.

Comparative advantage, anon.

>Why are there so few works that portray Japanese history without some sort of (or a lot of) craziness like Sengoku Basara?

Because people prefer an already interesting premise with its action elements cranked up to 11.

>They don't need to put fantasy shit in it to make it cool, really.

That's kinda self-defeating as why bother animating shit that could be better done (and possibly cheaper) in live action? By the way, there have been already alot of movies that are focused on the Sengoku period era of Japan.

Because Japan has a truly massive store of samurai drama in life action already.

If you can speak Japanese, you have more samurai media than you could possibly watch in a lifetime. It's just that the majority never got translated.

Probably because

A) it's boring

B) it's nothing but scumbag warlords terrorizing, brutalizing, and torturing the underclasses

Ever notice how anime only ever does stories about the samurai class? There were 3 or 4 other castes who were constantly exploited and abused by them.

More precisely, people like stories with good guys in them somewhere. You won't find a single one of them in the principle actors during, say, the Sengoku period for instance. Every single one was an evil scheming psychopath.

For instance, try to tell a historically-accurate tale about this classical Robin Hood-esque character and you'll have to mention the fact that he was boiled alive with his son in his hands.

That seems like a good morality tale for kids. We are much too soft nowadays with those.

If you are strictly speaking about anime then it's just like the other anons have said. But if you are willing to look into manga then there are a lot of those that has been scanlated. Most still has a bit of that cuhrayzee though. Kazuo Koike's stuff are great both as historical pieces and entertainment, and they have zero cuhrayzee.

We don't even have schools where teacher bully failing students into suicide, instead they allow shitters to drag everyone down to their level.

"Stories from the Bible" are good.
