Comment on Recommend me some military/war campaign adjacent series.

Both of my suggestions have warfare mixed with fantasy, but you could try them to see if they scratch your itch.
Drifters: famous warriors get isekai’d to a fantasy war and start waging a war on behalf of the subjugated elf population.
Gate: a portal opens up in Tokyo and fantasy creatures try to invade Japan, only to find themselves against a modern day army.
Bonus suggestion: Full Metal Panic. Mecha battles against terrorist organisations. The first season is a mix of serious and funny, following ones are more serious in tone. FMP Fumoffu is a spinoff with just the funny stuff. One of my all time favorites.

I’ve watched FMP but not the other two and just to make sure, is this the one you mean :
Gate
Drifters
I’ll go check both out, iirc there a new Gate coming out, but it’s a new timeline of something not related to this one, is that right or am I thinking of a different series?
Thank you for the suggestion !

The upcoming GATE season will follow a completely different set of characters, and the ones from season 1 only show up in cameo/guest roles. Its set a couple of years later (so, not a new timeline). Also, navy instead of army.

Ah, okay. Is the first season ends in cliffhanger ? Not that I mind, but read quite a few comments wanting them to just continue with the first ensemble.

No cliffhanger, but the story goes on in the source. So many people would rather see that continue than having a spin-off.

Yes, it’s those two.
As for the new Gate, I don’t know anything about it.

Man that first one was crazy. I loved the whole thing then was like: wait, did I just watch pro colonial propaganda?
Great show

Lol, which one did you referring to? Drifter or Gate?
I honestly didn’t expect this many recs, the subs usually have very few comments.
