We Love Cold War!! The Anime

[@nicoanime]

Welp, ONE MILLION views in just seven months on a dumb passion project I didn't expect to break 1000 views, thank you. It's been a year and seven months since I've graduated and through all these turbulent times and struggles since I've had trying to make a living off of an artistic craft, I do have a few regrets about not being experienced enough to capitalize on the momentum and do more art with Naomi n' Valerie. If you've been following me more closely... then you know that I value my craft as an animator highly and that I've been genuinely trying to improve in an industry that largely had rejected my output and artistry. That said, I plan on returning to my full-time passion projects in January 2025 and finally animating a follow-up mini series or pilot film for We Love Cold War 2.0. I've already been making arrangements with voice actors and a composer to up the production value a bit and make this something I can propel into the future with a lasting legacy... And to all those who've watched or rewatched and kept coming back to We Love Cold War even after all this time... Thank you, genuinely with a history enthusiast's heart, showing that attention to detail and a bit of fun in this hyper-specific niche can pay off, thank you. But this is not the peak of my career, there is yet work to be done!

[@Remnant197]

You're the GOAT for making this, even with your regrets I still think it came out beautifully. I would have rather it come out than it have not.

Fun fact: the animation displays an interesting quirk of the Citroen DS. As it has self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension, it can actually drive on 3 wheels, which saved the life of president Charles de Gaulle on an assassination attempt on the 22nd of August, 1962, similar as shown here. There are multiple videos on the internet showing Citroen test drivers driving them on 3 wheels as a bit of a party trick as well.

Fun Fact: the scoter with a cannon was actualy a unit that meant to be used by the french expeditionary forces in Vietnam, they were first designed in 1955 in italy and was first produced in 1956 until the fall of Dien Bien Phu because they were useless for the Vietnam war. theyvwere used as anti-tank vehicle by paratroopers as they got a 75mm cannon , they could penetrate a 100mm thick armor, they were easier to manouver and the last thing is that the model they used was a Piaggio Vespa 150.

2:32 Fun Fact: This shit is actually real. It wasn't even invented during the Cold War but much earlier, during the times of the Great War (alternatively, the "war to end all wars" War). Before you ask, yes, it's the French. Somebody thought it'd be a great idea or just downright hilarious to strap an artillery cannon to the front of a military moped. Surprisingly it *_ACTUALLY_* works... somewhat. You don't actually shoot it while driving (I know, disappointing) since doing so would send a recoiling blowback so intense you'll careen off the dirt road and fall into a comically deep ravine like a Looney tunes character. Instead, it's supposed use is basically just a more mobile artillery cannon which you have to fire while stationary. I just find it funny such an outdated and mostly forgotten piece of military history (accidentally) found it's way into a beautifully animated Cold War OC anime opening out of all things

Not sure why the East German police were using PPShes and old Great War era Artillery Lugers but the animating of their action cycling was pretty great. Also, the Hammer-And-Sickle batsignal made me die laughing. 10/10, will probably watch again in the future.

East German police did use PPSH 41s and Lugers

[@rclipse1985]

@@chine7775 Huh. Turns out you're right. Although it was the Grenztruppen using the PPSH, but that was an error on my part to begin with. And they did use those.

​@@Danila_Korotkov02 it wasn't the reloading of Stinger. She was preparing it to fire by inserting the BCU unit (Battery Coolant unit) that powers the target acquisition system for about 45 seconds and cools down the seeker so it can better lock on the target.

[@БабайАлибабаев]

>ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE Hey, cut them some slack. These two are best of the best of their respective agencies. That's why they can't kill each other no matter what they try. Also, since they are the best field agents the USA and the USSR have to offer (or all they have), no one is brave enough to fire these two.

[@zermodgets801]

It’s cool when authors use the topic of politics or history for creative purposes, without giving preference to one or another ideology or view of events, but skillfully playing with images and symbols, leading to an interesting moral. The contrasts are placed so subtly that you see not a confrontation between two enemies, but a rivalry between two friends, almost cooperation in space exploration. It turned out to be a crazy game of associations - a continuation of the "Cold War" after the evacuation from the cooled Earth to the cold Moon in cold space. It's literally an alternative Star Wars prehistory. P.S. I translated it into Google and sent all complaints to their headquarters. Lol, I just finished a game yesterday with similar post-irony (Kujlevka)
