Are there any decent war anime out there? And I mean anime about actual war, not just set during a war. Preferably one that isn't mecha, but thats not important, really.
Here is something for ya from the Manga World...
And for everyone else...
Ares -

The story takes place in an era similar to that of ancient Rome in a country called Cronos. It follows a group known as the Temple Mercenaries. In particular, the manhwa is about Ares, Michael and Baroona, three young warriors with mysterious pasts and surpassing skills...
The manhwa is notable for its subtle use of anachronistic elements (Ares' shoes are similar to that of classic Adidas), as well as very dynamic and fluid action sequences.

Now I read this ages ago, and it sadly hasn't been updated since 2011, BUT, its quite good. The amount of combat and movements that each character makes is wonderful and the story feels like one of those Wartime JRPRTS Games (Japanese Role Playing Real Time Strategy) that just draws you in like they did back in the day, or for me anyway. The Art is quite nice along with how each character 'speaks' as it gives them the perfect personalities to match their combat skills. Give it a try anyway...
Ryuurouden -

A shounen story where 2 teenagers went back in time to the "Three Kingdoms" period of China. An entertaining action series with some light moment & a bit of romance. You also get to learn a bit about that era.
From JanKenPon:
Middle schoolers, Shiro and Masumi, encountered a mysterious dragon that brought them back to the time of the Three Kingdoms; situated in ancient China. As soon as they arrived, they were rescued by the Han Kingdom. Not long after these events, Masumi was kidnapped and Shiro barely escaped death... Soon the story gets more complicated as they are stuck in the past.

I think I included this with the Timetravel manga collection a while ago, but gonna post this regardless, goes back to the Hittite era where Turkey was not Turkey and Iron Ore was an unknown substance. See some real Primitive combat and stuff here...
TriPeace -

Nana, a young boy suffering from extreme amnesia, has forgotten his real name. After helplessly witnessing the unjust death of three children during one of his trips, he vows to eradicate all wars of the surface of the earth.
He then joined Tripeace, a small group of activists whose members use all kinds of weapons and will stop at nothing, not even the violence, bring peace to the world. But soon, the new registration number 102078 of Tripeace is faced with a dilemma: can we protect the peace at any price?
