Flag is a seriously great drama that will squeeze the hearts of its viewers. Some may criticize Flag because of its lack of action especially for a war-centric anime series but when you look past that, you will discover that Flag offers a unique and insightful experience. It is well-worth your time since it offers a reprieve from the usual.

The last several episodes of Flag basically revolve around actually retrieving the flag but there are several other issues as well. These include the different events happening on the background as well as the UN’s real reasons. While the story in itself is already notable, it is just a background to what the series is all about.

The series is about human motivation. Soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives based on what they believe is best for their world. The series is also about nomads who know about these conflicts but they still focus their lives on sheepherding. It is also about civilians caught in the middle of a war but try to make the best of their situation. Flag will definitely give you a lot of insights to the human psyche and how people are affected differently when they are faced with war and tragedy.
