Largest crowdfunding...? Didn't Muv Luv earn 1.1mil or something? Or am confusing the method of achieving aforementioned money?

It says Japan's largest crowdfunding, MuvLuv was international.

This better not be too fan-servicing. If it isn't, then with that trailer and crowdfunding milestone I got some watching to do.

From what I've seen from the game so far, I think it'll be too chuuni to be fanservicey. But we'll see.

By the way, they really weren't lying when explaining how chuuni this series is.

Great, another "let's fetishize Nazis" anime. Just what this year needed.

I don't wanna judge this anime before I've seen it, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the basic plot. I mean, I'm all for an alternate historical anime, but what does a present day Japanese boy have to do with the events that took place in during WW2? Confused

I don't think Japan thinks it's a big problem over there. Frankly yes the Nazi stuff has turned me off of possibly watching this too much. Besides that the anime just looks weird to me as well.

I'm surprised the Nazi stuff doesn't get the thing shelved from the get-go. Both Germany and Japan heavily regret their actions, with Germany banning anything related to Nazis and Japan going into its state of never fighting in a war ever again. I would just chalk it up to Japan being lenient with Freedom of Speech (in their own borders).

If someone warns you about chuuni, they usually mean something about past lives, reincarnation, and awesome supernatural powers. It's all actually pretty silly and nonsensical, but once things get going, the VN is actually kinda fun. I got the VN's common route for free on Steam.

(I think there's a patch to unlock the adult content too.)

Germany yes. But in the case of Japan, there's enough historical revisonism, or attempts to it, going around, mainly spearheaded by Nippon Kaigi, for me to doubt that part of your sentence...

I'm more shocked over how Funimation just bought this to be dubbed over here. Actually scratch that, not really that shocked considering some of things Funimation buys.
