In hindsight, was the Phezzan plotline really that outlandish?
No, it made perfect sense within the tone and context of the show. If you even watched the preceding seasons you would understand it as the natural culmination of them. It's basically in the show as a filter for casual viewers who have just been drifting along not questioning or interrogating what they watch. I'd prefer the writers do something like this than just keep rehashing more of the same. What show by the way?

>>217820743if HBO remade LOGH shot for shot, line for line in live action do you think it would do well? I'm talking critically and commercially.
>>217821388>HBO remake of logh>In 2025Best case scenario Reinhard and Kircheis are potrayed as full on fags and Frederica will be the one who is actually behind all of yangs brilliant manuversThere is simply no way anyone is gonna make a show where the White germanic Autoritian is potrayed as the good guysThere gonna make Rudolf just an stand in for Trump and completly skip over the decaying first republic to show how he came in power in the first place
>>217821388No the original Anime is fine, it just needs a new blu ray release of good quality that is easily available outside of Japan.
>>217820743It's spelled Pheasant.
What are the FPA and the Empire trading with each other via Phezzan if they've been at war for so long?
>>217820743Reminder that Obersteinfags have no answer for why he let Rubinsky go free and pointlessly got thousands of innocents killed for no reason.
>>217823082Obviously there's always enterprising individuals who are out to make a profit on the DL.
>>217823473>>217823494The show, in its original animation state, is truly a masterpiece of grand strategy contrasted with individual drama. What I always have a problem with is the fetishization of Napoleonic Era perma-warfare mode that is taken as a natural historical state. In essence, the show offers a banker's perspective on history where military class wages constant war that exists for its own sake, in a limbo of sorts and where you - as an individual - have zero power over your destiny. There are no deserters, just people doing their part for a cause, whatever that may be. It's a perennial thing which is very appealing to Japanese mind, since they are the only people who NEVER overthrew their ruling dynasty. It's like War and Peace if Tolstoy shrugged and said it is what it is.

scenes that made you stand up and shout K I N O ?
>>217820916This.
>>217820916>>217823769That show was animated in Japan as well at around the same time period so it's possible there were some of the same animators working on both.
>>217823587>Japanese mind, since they are the only people who NEVER overthrew their ruling dynasty.They did, several times, everytime a Shogunate ended. The emperor of Japan is an unbroken lineage from ancient times, but the emperor had only been the head of state as the font of cultural and religious power. The shoguns were the lords given the highest military authority by the emperor, and dynastically married into the emperor's family to maintain power. You can see the direct influence of the Ashikaga and Tokugawa dynasties in the late Emperor Friedrich IV, a figurehead while nobles like his sons-in-law administrated the government, and more importantly, manage the imperial military.> What I always have a problem with is the fetishization of Napoleonic Era perma-warfare mode...Incorrect thesis because history is better described as wars punctuated by periods of inactivity. The famous Hundred Years War (1337 - 1453) is itself three wars spread out over the 116 years. Treaties took longer to formalize because of the travel distances, it would be weeks for diplomats to meet back-and-forth for the agreements. Even in the modern period, the Cold War is 4 decades of smaller wars fought by the 2 opposing alliances without a direct symmetrical conflict between the two. Even in the Gaiden OVA for LoGH, Yang is questioned why he is watching war documentaries. Yang tells Dusty that he just wanted to study history but because war is involved in every period, he ends up studying war. The OVA gives context that Reinhard's career has an abnormal amount of battles. Before Reinhard captained his own ship, fleet battles were only as frequent as once every few years. Before Yang captured Iserlorn, the previous battle at Iserlorn occurred when Yang was still a child. We can count on one hand the fleet battles (more than 3000 ships per side) over that decade. That's the same frequency, proportional to the total military size, as what USA experienced between 2005 and 2015.
>>217820743Oberstein was on the Phezzani flight logs!!!
>>217824445'wars punctuated by periods of inactivity' is a dismal look at human society and precisely what I meant. It is a weird mix of individualist's perspective on war, simultaneously embracing it. I'd argue that you cannot join Journey to the End of the Night and Storm of Steel and pretend it's the same narrative but Japs see no problem with it.
>>217820743What's this Professor X ripoff?
