Zipang (2004-2005)

Zipang is a 26-episode made-for-TV historical sci-fi anime, an adaptation of the first part of a manga of the same name by Kaiji Kawaguchi that ran from 2000-2009 in Weekly Morning magazine. The series was produced with the cooperation of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, including cooperation from an official on active service at the time. It was first broadcast from 2004-2005, with a dub released in the West on DVD in September 2006. It features a similar premise to the 1980 American movie The Final Countdown, with a modern warship mysteriously sent back in time to World War 2 and forced to question where its loyalties now lie, whether it should change history, and if so in what way.

In this case the ship is Japanese, a brand-new Aegis-equipped guided missile destroyer DDH-182 JDS Mirai (the serial number would later be used by the actual JDS Ise commissioned in 2011) of the fictional Yukinami-Class, resembling a Kongo-Class destroyer with an additional hangar. Mirai is a homophone for the Japanese word for the future.

Since the manga was not finished when the series was made, the anime concludes on a cliffhanger: so far, there are no known plans to cover the rest of the story.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Zipang:
