Is there any anime/manga that is critical of Japanese imperial history? The only one I know to be anti-colonial is Full Metal Alchemist but even that is guilty of some critical tropes.
Basically every Ghibli movie that deals with WWII (Grave of the Fireflies, The Wind Rises, Porco Rosso etc). Miyazaki lost his mother in the war and spent his entire career traumatised by the contributions of his father to the imperial war machine as an airplane designer
