A containment thread that focuses on synchtubes (go figure). We have the regulars like Dorkly's mog-rog on Fridays, my PTSF-THRS on Thursdays, Agguguy's MGRnR200X on the weekends on special occasions, and now Deacon's m-adras-tea-and-film taking mog-rog's original Tuesday slot. We also have the wideamari channel streaming ZotE: Dolores on Saturday mornings (Eastern).

The writer getting cancelled on twitter for sperging out has played a role

Was Reinhard nearly as genius as the show makes him out to be? His contemporaries and even the show's narrator jerk him off to no end about being le perfect autocrat, but it often feels like he's just an incredibly lucky individual surrounded by capable subordinates. I think the amount of times an outnumberer Yang had him on the ropes speaks volumes on his military prowess, at least. More evidence to back this up:
>Friedrich IV knew he was scheming to overthrow him and simply let it happen anyway
>Only decisive victories were against inbred nobles, vastly outnumbered fleets, and literal incompetents
>Hid his illness with little regard for what would happen to the empire after he died

During Rudy's tenure most definitely, and Tanaka lays it on thick in the prologue just how familiar Rudolph's ideas were to anyone with even the passing familiarity of human history, but over time the Empire kinda just settled into ye olde imperialism since successive generations of Goldenbaum weren't as up their ass in the Totally Not Aryanism stuff like good 'ol Rudy was.

So no, not really, but there was absolutely a time where it legitimately was. Oberstein wouldn't let you hear the end of it if you let him do his bit about his robo eyes.
>>
>>22844710
The empire we see at the time of the show is Space Prussia(you know the kingdom that basically made modern Germany). Kaiser Rudolf von Goldenbaum was basically a space nazi who wanted to LARP as 1800s aristocracy. We'll he won, so hard that his larp became reality, and the nazi stuff fell to the wayside after him as it was a really means to an end in making the larp real.
>>
>>22845030
Means to an end my ass, he bought hard into his space fascist strongboy ideology, let's not bluewash this as being him just wanting to build empire, he legit thought himself the hero figure of an epic struggle to save mankind from itself.

For fuck's sake the dude couldn't even accept his own fertility issues because it would go against his own ideological thrust.
>>
>>22845186
Anon, I meant means to end for creating space Prussia in the over all narrative. Rudolf is 100% a space nazi. I'm not trying to deny it. Hell it's the first thing i said

I can kind of see a design theme.
>Hound Granute - representing three heads by having a belly mouth and two other mouths covering the torso, with dog nose representing the chest
>Octopus Granute - Obvious tentacle face with massive eyeball shoulder pads
>Blowfish Granute - Slanted human skull covered in massive spines
Granted, it's still a bit of a visual mess, but it's there. Although for me, the thing that sticks out as the one recurring element I like are those yellow sections literally bolted onto their waists where the rider belts normally would be, like as a visual reminder that they're the same species as Gavv but in a more artificial way
>>
>>22839486
I'm enjoying the story so far, but there's something that doesn't click with me. I think it's the slow setup for the secondary and the villains. I don't mind a slow approach generally, but here it feels like most of the recurring cast is just stalling for time. I should not be more emotionally attached to a victim of the week over the main characters.
I would have probably liked it, even more, had Q1 not had the secondary or heroine at all, focusing entirely on Shoma helping people and being on the run from Granutes. But that was too bold for Toei to ever do.
>>
>>22845058
It's not out of nowhere, check the general's archive back when the episode was done airing.
>>
>>22845058
>>22845124
Of course when I question anyone ever commenting about Gavv being slow, someone had to say they feel like Gavv is slow
>>
>>22845133
The problem isn't that its slow, it's how they handle the other supporting cast outside of Shoma. By episode 3 of Kuuga and Agito I had a good feeling about the main cast, and those were even slower. Here, I don't feel a damn thing for the other characters outside of Shoma and whoever he's helping currently.
They're not bad characters but I don't feel anything when I see them.

The only guys we see in Unicorn field all Jegans are the General Revil, the pride of the fleet, and Londo Bell and ECOAS, special forces. These are pretty tiny forces, being *individual ships* in most cases, while high value targets like Torrington that have been struck before are literally getting their asses bailed out by some frankensteined together hardware from 3+ wars ago piloted by an unaccounted for war criminal.

Meanwhile planetside the OYW never actually ended with holdouts lasting for years even before getting influxes of Titans and Neo-Zeon/Neo-Zeon 2 personnel and equipment and the Navy is actively so neglected they are defacto secretly in revolt against the Federation funding and supporting Zeonic holdouts with "new" war materials.
>>
>>22836653
Pretty sure Torrington is a backwater base in UC 0096, nothing high value about it.

Ideon is bereft of any cool characters really. Gije tries but he's kind of too autistic. A lot of them are weirdly mean spirited too.

Greetings, /m/. I come to you in search of lore.

I'm trying to determine when the concept of an S-Rank meaning something above A in value or quality came about. The earliest reference to an S Rank I can find is in the lore of Megaman X, where Hunters are ranked alphabetically but the super cool lunatic special-forces type people are ranked as Special A, later truncated to SA and eventually just S. The problem is, Megaman and especially the X series is a love letter to half a century of /m/ media, and I cannot possibly comb every fan wiki of every setting to try and find some obscure in-setting terminology.

I ask you, do you know of any instances of the S Rank classification that are from before 1993?
