Yeah, lots of women watch Gundam, Eva, Pacific Rim, Code Geass, etc. Turns out having hot pilot chicks in your show (as opposed to muttoid trannies) makes it easier for women to self-project onto, who woulda thunk? If Blackrock got that memo instead of doubling down on their DEI nonsense, they'd be rolling in dough by now, not actively losing trillions by the day on all of their investments.

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

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?

So wait, if Cagalli was remotely piloting the Justice during the final battle, who was piloting the Strike Rouge while it was flying around on Earth?

This shouldn't be that complicated.
She simply just switched the Rouge to Autopilot for a moment while she activated a remote control system for the Justice.
>>
>>22844286
If you watch the movie, its is implied that the operator of the Cavalier is controlling the Z'Gok and Strike Rouge when they're docked. Thats what Meyrin or Miriallia are doing in the cockpit. The pilots only assume control when you see the suit actively doing something

>>22844286
It's on and off. Athrun was using it a lot but he handed the controls over whenever he needs.

I felt bad for Tsukumo, imagine getting clowned on what's supposed to be your mech's area of expertise.

I thought his trauma would be nearly drowning as a kid, not missing a photo shoot.

Delta's story about the reason why he stopped going to school in reality is odd. He's probably never set foot in a real school.

Vina is cringe when it comes to Ten. It was cool getting to see Ten flex his knowledge since he has to hold back when he's among classmates.

Akane spent most of the episode being dead on the inside.

Agreed on Daitarn 3.

Everyone knows that a mecha anime with characters named after WW2 vessels is kino, but what's the origin of it? Who did it first?

Bonus points for whoever can whip up a screencap of an anime or manga stating this undisputable fact.

Original Gundam pilots were apparently named after WW2 fighters, but I ain't seeing the connection. Then again, I am not a super WW2 nerd so that's on me...
