A bit reductive, but not entirely wrong. Some anime out there is explicitly meant to do this, and certainly some of the other stuff out there does this unintentionally given some of the shit webs say. But 99% of anime is primarily aimed at a domestic Japanese audience, and I'd guess the majority of anime and manga creators don't really give a shit about what Japan did in WW2. This would be like claiming all American films are apologia for the Iraq war, except that argument has more merit. I've put way to much effort into discussing this post that was almost certainly bait.
