An anime that takes place in an '''alternative past''' is an anime that clearly does not belong to the future or the present, and isn't tied particularly closely to our history, or has ties to our history but only as a premise: there are too many things that don't make sense for the time-period. In some cases there is futuristic technology present, but the overall setting still feels that of the past. | An anime that takes place in an '''alternative past''' is an anime that clearly does not belong to the future or the present, and isn't tied particularly closely to our history, or has ties to our history but only as a premise: there are too many things that don't make sense for the time-period.

This category is for anime that take place during or around '''World War II''', including the prelude to the actual war when Hitler came to power. Since Japan was actually involved in this war, there are more that take place in this period than in World War I. | This category is for anime that take place during or around '''World War II''', including the prelude to the actual war when Hitler came to power.

The most common factor for an anime to take place in the '''present''' is that there should be recognizable things/events from our own society that both we and the characters take for granted. And obviously (unless it involves time travel or spans a long period in history) it cannot fall in any of the other time-categories. | The most common factor for an anime to take place in the '''present''' is that there should be recognizable things/events from our own society that both we and the characters take for granted.

Anime that fit in the '''alternative present''' category usually have technology and society that is very similar to ours, but with differences in both, history and culture, which sometimes are blatantly obvious, but sometimes harder to place; this one can at times be very subjective. | Anime that fit in the '''alternative present''' category usually have technology and society that is very similar to ours, but with differences in both, history and culture, which sometimes are blatantly obvious, but sometimes harder to place; this one can at times be very subjective. | ||
