* Most of the ''[[Gundam]]'' saga, in particular ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket|Gundam 0080]]'', ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'', and ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]'' with the last two in particular brutal due to the fact that [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] had a [[Creator Breakdown]]. ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket|Gundam 0080]]'' [[Anvilicious|beats you over the head]] with this trope. However, on the flip side, [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]], and it's overall one of the best Gundam series as a result of its utter bleakness. Which stems not from an anti war stance but Tomino's thoughts on Japan's actions in [[World War II]] and it's imperialistic actions which mirror that of Zeon's. |

** An even more recent example is ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Gundam SEED]]'' which slides to the far end of the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|Cynical side of the scale]]. War becomes humanity's excuse to perpetrate [[For Science!|human experimentation]], [[Nuke'Em|nuclear holocaust]], and [[Face Heel Turn|mass betrayal]]. Given that the war was started in the first place to commit genocide against an entire subspecies of humanity, {{spoiler|and it eventually evolves to the point where both sides refuse to accept each others existence and commit ruthless atrocities in an attempt to end all of mankind}}, yes, war is indeed HELL. |
