If you want another strategic rebellion
These picks share the part of the original that matters most. Use the notes to choose the tone, length and setting you want next.
Death Note
Two strategists, a secret identity and a battle of information. It is more intimate and less military.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
A long war, two brilliant commanders and political detail. It is much slower and more sprawling.
Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
A mercenary group, a rebellion and mecha battles. It is more grounded and more tragic.
86 Eighty-Six
A militarised society, a hidden war and a strategic command. It is more focused on discrimination and trauma.
Aldnoah.Zero
A war, a tactical genius and a rival. It is more action-forward and more uneven.
