No, it was literally made to boost recruiting for the JDF, but not even in a funny way. I liked the first episode well enough but I stopped watching because anyone that couldn't join the Japanese army was very, very clearly not the target audience.
Like I was waiting for people to start singing "Yvan eht Nioj," but it never quite happened, which would have at least been funny.
Very true, I just had fun seeing the military literally wreck shop with the fantasy and magic. It did have a weird government subplot and 1000 year old child though which was weird.
I just started reading Summoning America (rewriting of Summoning Japan) and it did scratch the itch of the US military wrecking shit in a fantasy world
