>>13431573>the 'War Guilt' planit's not a plan, i's just a label often used by right wing Japanese to describe past policies (mainly international) that tend to acknowledge Japan's role in the war, well at least more acknowledging compared to the last few governments
That said it doesn't mean they were talking about the war out in the open or in detail inside the classroom either, so they use sci-fi and mecha to get around the subject when needed to.
as for WWII themed movies in Japan, there's not a lot of locally produced ones, they have a few and not that hard to find but most of them are made post 2000.
