It's not a typical anime since it's about wartime but hope he enjoys it.

My adoptive father was a Swedish-American. At 6'2" he was striking with blonde hair. He was a DoD teacher in Japan and was fluent in Japanese. He acted in some Japanese war movies. He was always portrayed as the evil American COL who would die at the end of the movie. lol That is some funny shit.

MAJ Ken Landgren - He taught at my high school (Chofu). Unfortunately I didn't have any classes with him (art and Japanese) but it was a small DoD school so we kinda knew each other. When you described him I remembered Mr. Landgren, tall, blonde and spoke Japanese. He was very nice and popular with all the kids. That is some funny shit alright!

Absolutely agree that the Japanese original with English subtitles is better! Even beyond that, the non-animated ones are the best for me.
