What language or Japanese dialect where the elf kids speaking in the first episode? But it doesn't sound like any form of Japanese that I've ever heard before; if it was Japanese
Also this show is surprisingly boring for something with so much violence
Elves were speaking a ficitional language.

How come they portray Toyohisa as the veteran and Joan as a rookie
One was in a successful campaign, with numerous victories, and the other in two battles where they fucking lost
Same thing with the nip admiral, he got BTFO

Nip is a warrior.
Joan is a figurehead. At best, a commander. Nothing to do with personal combat.
>>150192138
Joan of arc wasn't good fighting tho, she was symbolic because she said that an Angel told her to reclaim France and France won the first battles when she was involved.
She was the last hope of her Kingdom, but she wasn't good at fighting.
>>150192138
Joan was literally a cheerleader.

Yeah but why glorify losers?

FOLDED A MILLION TIMES

Because YAMATO DAMASHI, you goddamn newfag. Literally every anime ever shows nip culture as being superior to everything else. Gate is probably the most recent popular example. Space Battleship Yamato is a more classic example.
With no historical knowledge, this show would be boring.
>>150192356
Gate is just your average Japanese nip stronk though, it doesn't feature actual historical losers
I think it's a pretty refreshing switchup from picking some stereotypical historical superbadass that everyone and their grandma has been wanking for centuries. The protagonist of the last one was motherfucking Dracula, picking a literallywho and giving him a supporting cast of famous ass kickers was the right decision in my opinion.
>>150192419
Well yeah no shit it didnt feature historical nip losers because the story wasn't about historical people from different cultures. I don't care for the whole folded a million times katana cutting through forged steel either, but it just part of nip shit. Don't read into it too much, or else you need to go to /jp/.
>>150192138
Toyohisa would have been a veteran warrior but a rookie commander.
Joan would have been a veteran commander but a rookie warrior.
This is why Nobunaga does pretty much all the strategy and planning.
Obviously it's overdone a decent amount but that has more to do with the japanese idolizing their past just like most countries.

The fact that he was involved in military campaigns for half his life while she turned up for about a year and did little might be a factor.

Half his life alright
>>150192746
But it's not that their Japanese, that makes sense
It's that they did nothing, and fucking lost

No.

Yes.

No.

>moving around with the army gives him military experience
Absolutely fucking epic, surely staying in a different hut 20 miles from home makes me a veteran

No wonder you give up, its indefensible
It's really baffling, the series is filled with Japanese figures you'd expect but the MC is a worthless hick and the IJN rep is similarly worthless
You just have to question, why?

Toyohisa Shimazu was not someone who fought battles he could win. It's not that he wanted to die, he was just suicidally overconfident.
>>150192457
>literal who
He's known to the descendants of the Shimazu clan as enacting a one-man 300 last stand and succeeding in buying time befoe he died,
>>150192138
>and the other in two battles where they fucking lost
He died at 30 and had been killing people since he was 14. He was in two MAJOR battles.

Everyone that is a Drifter is someone that died fighting, by definition they all are losers.
And Joan was a commander (sorta), not a frontline fighter.
