Scary how it portrays actual governments

>>1655265
Did Reinhardo wanted to fuck his sister and Kircheis?

>>1655420
>Well then...
He was surrounded, fatigued, and the wound was debilitating even without bleeding. He probably saw the blood on the walls so to speak and thought intimidating the remaining soldiers would've given Julian more time.

And these two things aren't to be apologized for, imperium and one-liners.

>>1655265
Julian is best girl.Prove me wrong

>>1655449
Jobber? I don't know what you think a jobber is, but I certainly didn't think that every time he went into a fight, he would inevitably. The only two major "losses" he had were failing to kill ruental in 1v1 combat and dying after killing probably dozens of soldiers while outnumbered.

>>1655462
He wanted to Kircheis to peg him while Annerose whispered encouragement and praise to him.

>>1655477
Julian is a guy that got cucked by fucking Yang of all people with frederica

>>1655473
>giving julian more time
Oh shit he held the four (4) weak normal soldiers going up to him in a ship now probably swarmed by thousands of elite armored panzergrenadiere
Julian got lucky he managed to use the negro guy a bullet sponge and that for some reason mitermeyer the genious thought that only kissling alone outside the door was ok

>>1655505
>he would inevitably
I a word. He would lose inevitably.

>>1655505
I meant based bittenfeld was the jobber. Schenkopp was just lucky enemies routed when someone whispered muh rosenritters.
In the end got taken down by a fat pog slob

>>1655508
Julian got best girl (tomboy) in the end.

>oh shit...
Perhaps you're right, but I'm still not convinced that the soldiers would've accepted Schenkopp's surrender after what he did and it was out of character for him to die begging.

Like I said, if he weren't the type of person he was, he probably would've never led the Rosenritter.

>>1655522
Ah, shigg. Sorry, I read Rosenritter and Jobber and had already filled captcha before I'd even thought about precisely what I'd write.

Bittenfield a jobber? I can see it. A fine admiral with a worthy reputation hampered by the misfortune of regularly engaging some of the greatest admirals in the galaxy.

He probably did a lot better facing off against average admirals.

>when someone whispered
Well, you've gotta earn that reputation in the first place.

>>1655546
>tomboy
Yeah sure let's go with the now even more daddy issued as fuck girl instead of yang's wish (cazelnu's daughter)

Schenkopp's deal was always being a maverick and only got the regimental commander position because his CO got BTFO by his other former CO. Also before the battle he told Julian and the girl he now had a reason to live to see them grow or something. Should have thinked about that before doing looking down whatever that ment to him

>>1658771
This. After all the bullshit with Trunhit, and all the progress the Empire was making by comparison, I pretty much had it with the FPA, but damn if Bucock's final stand and speech didn't have me saluting for democracy.

>>1657059
>dropping a show because you think one thing will happen, then the exact opposite does.

The FPA do get absolutely crushed, and Yang's successor state is only allowed to continue due to the bravery they show.

You are also thinking about it completely backwards. The central conceit for Yang is that he is the greatest general ever, obviously he doesn't lose, because that is his character.

>>1657059
There's nothing magical about it. In the show, Yang and Reinhard both collect as much talent as they can, and at the admiral level they're basically equal. The difference is Reinhard's political ambitions leave Yang in the dust, and he ends up in command of a huge fleet which he has to delegate command of to his followers who aren't all as skilled as he or Yang are. Take Bittenfeld - he's excellent as a rear admiral but gets his shit pushed in all the time trying to maneuver a whole fleet, because his staff isn't nearly as good as Yang's or Reinhard's.

Yang can only stand up to Reinhard later because Yang keeps his fleet exactly like it was at its most effective, while Reinhard has to fight with all his best men busy being autonomous leaders of less effective fleets than his own admiralty used to be.

>>1658939
You have to admit it is pretty damn lucky how Yang ended up with so many talented staff officers in his frankenstein fleet of veterans and new recruits. Sure he knew how to use them really well, and put men in the right places and gave them exactly the right instructions, but imagine if Fischer had just been assigned to a different fleet before Astarte.

Also you are underplaying just how important Yang's philosophy to combat was, and just how he happened to be exactly the right one for the type of war the FPA needed to fight.

Yang a fucking cuck. He says (pic related) that he prefers to fight for trunhit's corrupt democracy than be under the best autocracy ever.
He was ONE (1) arm swing from ordering Reinhard's death and he pussied out because of some bullshit orders.
Then he has the gall to say to Julian that he happy to receive that order because he didn't want to kill Reinhard.

>>1659050
It wasn't luck. Yang personally hand picked his officers (or someone talented like Cazellnu picked some out) because they're people he personally met or witnessed and actively petitioned to get under his command.

He got Fischer because he wanted Fischer, it wasn't random luck. That's like saying Reinhard was lucky Mittenmeyer or Mueller wasn't in someone else's fleet at Astarte.

Fischer was in the 4th fleet (the first one to get absolutely BTFO at astarte). He was indeed lucky that Fischer didn't die there.

>>1658939
Bittenfeld's men (fleet subcommander, chief of staff and vice chief of staff) were good. He was unlucky to face Yang in most of his battles. Bittenfeld when used right managed to destroy any opposition that Bucock and Reuental managed to put up. His action basically ended the battles.
Pro tip: Not a good idea to name a guy an admiral just because as a battleship captain he managed to destroy two enemy ships with one shot.

>>1659276
See
>>1659309

After the capture of Iserlohn, Yang had some leeway that he used to get officers he wanted, but before that (and the core of his fleet was always what came before Iserlohn, the leftovers from Astarte), he had absolutely no say, it was just Yang sorted through the shit he was handed and making the best out of it. He always had to deal with utter shit and just using whatever he had at hand, there was never really any time other than that brief period where he got the crew together to take and hold Iserlohn the first time that he had any control.

>>1659197
You seem completely mindbroken by /pol/ memes, I hope you get better.

Yang may possibly have taken his philosophy too far, but he was first and foremost a /his/torian, he knew what happens time and time again after a dictator is allowed to take control - in an instant, centuries of democracy can become a hereditary empire. He is resigned to democracy being the best-worst form of government, because checks and balances - it evens out, never allowing for brilliant autocrats like Reinhard, who may be great in the short term, but bad for what comes after.

>>1659374
Still, the fact remains that Yang had no spine when it mattered most. Schenkopp was right, he should ignore those orders and seize the present, future and history. The >F>P>A might have survived.
The country was either way infiltrated by space snackbars.
Also after Reinhard came Hildegard, that was even more level headed and after her was his son, that Reinhard set up with Mittermeyer's son as his Kircheis and have someone equal to him all the time.

>>1659424
The future in LOGH is really left up in the air, it is heavily implied there will be some sort of war, maybe a power struggle between Wolf's son and Reinhard's, who the fuck knows

I'd say that Yang was vindicated, in that he became a martyr for democracy, and the spirit of what he tried to keep alive in Iserlohn would far, far outlive him.

If Yang had taken control of the FPA at some point before it's invasion through the Phezzan Corridor, what realistically would've been the result? Even if we say that, with all Yang's brilliance and the full weight of the FPA behind him, they could've held off Reinhard and sued for peace, the fact that a dictator had so easily taken control would've just made him the Sallust or Caesar to the next generation's Augustus. Yang could have pushed Reinhard's shit in and retired to go read history after securing the borders, but within his lifetime someone with different intentions would've taken control.

So? His actions during the civil war basically doomed the alliance to failure. He destroyed an entire intact fleet and the defense satellites that would have prevented mittermeyer and reuental from making the government to surrender. He was no Heinessen, people would have forgotten him eventually.
Also was an hypocrite, his son and wife succeeded as military and civil leaders without as much as a thought for a vote first.

>>1659499
>and the defense satellites that would have prevented mittermeyer and reuental from making the government to surrender

Nigga, Siegfried was able to easily defeat the same system without any loss of life, as was Yang. Reuenthal could have worked it out, the thing was offering false security, it wasn't worth the scrap metal that it was made out of.

Reinhard would have definitely disapproved of how his succession was handled, it was the exact type of shit he wanted to avoid. There is also a very strong possibility that Julian himself is the start of a new dynasty of despots. Everything Yang tried to instill in him was to persuade Julian that was a bad idea, but who knows?

>>1659499
>the defense satellites

dude, the audience knew the Artemis Necklace was obsolete since like Episode 5.

Don't remember if it was this show who proposed this point, but I recall from somewhere that a military doesn't exist to practice democracy, merely further it. This was more like a VP becoming the president...sorta. The entire movement was at a critical point where it was judged that the best move forward was in the hands of those who could best carry on Yang's will for the institution of democracy.

Voting and a constitution can come later when the ideals are secured. I don't think this makes Yang a hypocrite, but it's clear others don't share his philosophy as exactly.

What
Wasn't it heavily implied that Reinhard agreed with Constitutional Monarchy, and Julian's predictions would be that it would get even more democratic as time passed? As in, monarchy slowly falling into obscurity, like today?

>>1659580
>Reinhard agreed
I thought the case was that he would never agree to it while alive but accepted it's creation privately and expected his son's mother to implement it.

>>1659574
Then the job should fall on one of the three surviving vice admirals. Either schenkopp, attenborough or cazelnu. In an emergency Merkatz even, not a fucking lieutenant junior grade.

>>1659578
Still don't know what Lex (((Luthorsky)))'s endgame was, just that.
They did frequent a restaurant, even Yang's wedding was there (poorfag as fuck). Maybe food was good there?

>>1659590
>not a fucking lieutenant junior grade.
The competency and advisory roles of those individuals were in place, but none of them felt they'd be the right person to succeed and continue Yang on a philosophical level.

Julian did pretty well + he can kill people. Imagine if Yang carried a weapon? He'd be immortal.

>>1659580
Reinhard was pretty much exactly Friedrich II (the Prussian one), he believed in enlightened absolutism, with a true meritocracy underneath. His Neu Reich was vastly more democratic than the old one, but not in the way the FPA or we would recognise: he abolished serfdom and the feudal system, but detested anything like the popularity contests of democratic states, or monarchs under heavy control. Reinhard explicitly believed that only the most brilliant and strong should have power and wield it benevolently.

Julian might we have been right that the Neu Reich would go down the route of Constitutional Monarchy, though if we are going to really labour the 18th-19th century allusions, the risk of fascism or something like that rising out of a despotic regime (future Iserlohn?) is totally on the cards too.

I think Julian was more naive than Yang anyway. The thing about the autocratic hereditary system that Yang fought against, is so much relies on the personality of the ruler. Mariondorf definitely had the influence on Reinhard that things were looking to go that way after his death, but who the fuck knows what the wishes of Alexander would be when he came of age? His inferiority complex over the father he never knew could cause him to be a tyrant, and who was going to disobey the son of Reinhard von Lohengramm?

But they weren't surprised at all. That was the whole point even: none of them wanted people who were halfheartedly there, who only cared about Yang and not the cause, or who just wanted to win glory and advancement. Even Murai leaving was meant to drag along everyone who didn't have the balls to stay but were hesitating because of self-image.

You're discounting all of the people who stayed too freely and it was in the spirit of freedom that they allowed people to leave, making it more worthy of respect than the autocrat who would press it's citizens into combat.

Because building a state around the cult of personality for a hero who just died and his family is a really good way to ensure "freedom".

>>1662350
Worked for the united states. More or less.

>>1655265
Surely he was going to be his co-ruler. Everything went down the toilet after his death.

It's all on YouTube, just finished it and starting the OVA prequels now.

>>1662390
Really? I had no idea John Adams was Washington's adopted son.

>>1662485
That's the less part of more or less. I mean a democracy starting with the essential actions (or inactions) of a single extremely influential person.

>>1662511
Yeah, that isn't what I was referring to. I meant the fact they continued around that cult of personality and Yang's family, instead of immediately moving to actual elections, instating a democratic process.

>>1655265

After the death of Parmenion and Cleitus, the former a general of the infantry and the latter the leader of the Companions, they were succeeded by Craterus and Hephaiston, respectively. Both of these two men could be considered closest in line to Alexander's throne as both had factions of their own that supported them. However, had Hephaistion survived it is unlikely that he would irrefuteable have been pronounced Alexander's successor. Much more likely is that a power struggle between these two men would have erupted.

As it stands, instead a struggle between Perdiccas (the cavalry), another of the companions, and Craterus/Antigonus (The foot) it would merely have been between Hephaistion and Craterus. The factions would have been the same.

>>1662534
Like they said, the military of a democracy paradoxically doesn't practice it, but rather works to secure it.

If episode 111 came out and included a short time skip of a few years, I'm sure they'd be a proper representative republic.

>>1662668
That was their intention, yeah. But LOGH ends where it does to heavily suggest that the futures of both the major institutions (the Neue Reich and Iserlohn) are both up in the air, and different forces are pulling in different directions. One may become a reforming constitutional monarchy, the other a banana republic dictatorship.

>>1662681
Given the reluctance of Frederica and Julian, I wouldn't count on it.

>>1662725
>after every single lesson that LOGH hammers into your brain, still being this shortsighted

LOGH is not a subtle show.

Imagine this: 10 years down the road, Frederica dies/retires, and a new Trunhilt style demagogue takes over, is destroying the republic with corruption/intimidation on a large scale and Julian is aware they are opening up a backdoor to completely assimilate Iserlohn into the Empire.

Julian's advisors say the only way is to take power with the military and restore order. Will he be able to resist as long as Yang did? If so, what about after Julian?

>>1662810
Give me some credit, if Tanaka were to ever write a sequel in the far flung future, I was sure demagogues and apathy would set into the society, but I was willing to give a fresh start at least the chance of surviving Julian's generation with Yang's ideals in in mind. With a global pulpit, a warning against the Job Trunhilts of the galaxy delivered by those with the prestige of having known Yang Wenli personally should have some chance to last.

Like Reinhard or one of his subordinates noticed, the principled actors of the FPA exist, they were just stuck at the mid-level and Frederica and Julian are in the perfect place to support their ascendancy.

>>1662850
Yeah I'm not saying it'd definitely go down the toilet in one generation, just things like, already the entire political and military complexes being intrusted to the two closest people to their Cult of Personality martyred leader is a really, really bad start. And Tanaka does everything to suggest, it's what Yang is always so wary of, that one decision can turn a democracy into a permanent dictatorship.

LOGH tries to show that maintaining democratic principles and defending them isn't easy. I think that is why it ends where it does, with the future of democracy looking so incredibly fragile, and possibly already too far compromised, but with heroes that we like doing everything they can to keep the flame alive.

>>1662534
I think the idea was that they were starting fresh as a revolution. Yang became the center of a cult of personality in order to instill his ideals for the future republic to come. That's why he was enshrined right next to Heinessen himself, despite Heinessen never being elected either.

>>1662869
Right, I never suggested it'd be easy, but the near impossibility of some period of worthy democratic republicanism struck me as too cynical.

>Looking fragile
Too me, it looked like it was in the best position it'd been in for years.

>really bad start
The rebirth of Republicanism got a bad start in the trial that was a 10,000 light year trek in ice covered ships too.

Tanaka also shows how much more considerate of Yang's ideals Julian becomes over time too.

It could go either way, I just wouldnt be so cynical.

Iserlohn was to be given back to the New Reich as terms for a republic to exist. In return for Iserlohn, Julian and his democracy cucks got Heinessen where they could play while still being part of the New Reich. Felix and Alexander were also foreshadowed to be close friends as adults and the narrator also mentions Alexander leading the fleet like his father. The minor Reich character that helped kidnapp the last Goldenbaum emperor also went missing fighting pirates. Most likely the New Reich held power under Hilda and the support of the admirals who spent their time ruling and reforming human society while perhaps expanding. But who did Alexander lead the fleet against? Space pirates or maybe seperatists?

>>1662896
Yeah I just think that the FACT it could go either way was what we were meant to take away from LOGH's end. I'd like to be optimistic too, I just don't think we were given a "Good End, democracy's future is safe now".

Reinhard and Kircheis were walking fashion disasters when not in uniform. Was this due to living as bachelors without female company?

>>1664995
Partly. It's also because Imperial fashion was autistic to begin with as a bunch of future space people had to approximate 19th century German clothing and not insult an oppressive and finicky ruling class fetishizing 18th century German aristocratic clothing.

Also it didn't matter what they wore since they were fujo-bait handsome.

>>1664995
>>1665310
They didn't look that bad compared to other high nobles that went too far. As kids they had normal (FPA?) type clothing and even dressed like Julian. Also they did have female influence in their lives, didn't they live with 2 old grannies?
Their bad style comes maybe from their frugal choice of life, can't look good if your not spending top Reichsmark in new clothing. Probably used hand me downs or something.

This oldtimer.
Loyal, brave and did everything he could despite lacking Yang's plotbending-powers.

>>1667856
While he seemed quite admirable, I couldn't help the nagging feeling that he just sacrificed millions of men and materiel just so he could go out in glory.

>>1667940
But he made sure to send material and men to Yang before the final battle against Reinhard. He picked a battlefield that would favor his small army and tried to tale Reinhard out to stop the invasion. Don't forget he was ordered by the government to fight.

>>1667940
Didn't they willingly follow him to their death?

>>1667996
Not entirely sure. Maybe. Can't say whether it was the will of the individual soldiers or if they just followed their respected commander's orders.

I'm not saying Bucock did outright wrong, but I do wonder if his feelings on what his fate as an old soldier should be didn't lead him to get a lot of people killed for no sufficiently good reason, as opposed to trying to keep his men alive.

>>1668121
He was trying to assassinate Reinhard and thereby save the old FPA, and came really close to succeeding, too.

>>1668121
Yeah, I get what you're saying and I do agree with you.

>>1667940
At what point in the show was he ever portrayed as a gloryhound?
He was always shown as a friendly old man who believed in the ideals of the FPA and supported Yang whenever able.
>>1668121
>no sufficiently good reason
In what reality is resisting an enemy invasion and nearly taking out the Kaizer not a sufficiently good reason?

Also going for martyrdom upon failing to kill Reinhard was a perfectly logical strategic move for galvanizing resistance against the Empire. Meekly surrendering would only have harmed Yang's chances. If he had a cynical move behind fighting to the death it would have been this, not personal fame.
>>1667996
They all raised a toast to democracy and died without flinching.
If the creators of the show wanted the soldiers to be unwilling victims of Bucock's thirst for glory they would have included a scene showing them protesting or dying screaming, not singing Amazing Grace in unison.

>>1668140
He got rekt by Bittenfeld of all people two times

>>1668307
In all honesty, I think the focus on trying to take out the Kaiser as if killing the enemy leader would save the FPA, as well as the soldiers' willingness to volunteer to die in a semi-hopeless battle, are both more indicative of the fact that it's a Japanese writer who wrote the story than anything else.

Counterpoints:
A) The FPA was already fucked, both militarily and politically. Even with Reinhard out of the picture or the imperial fleet seriously damaged, they had no way of avoiding imperial occupation.
B) Taking out Reinhard is very likely to cause a severely repressive imperial reaction, or even a fracturing of the imperial forces that could very well throw the occupied FPA into destructive chaos.
C) As a subversive move, getting millions of loyal soldiers killed may not have been smarter than keeping them alive for a later time.
D) Rather than take a fleet and essentially tell the empire to "come at me bro", he could've used it as a bargaining chip to negotiate for a more favourable FPA surrender.

I'll grant that Bucock acted under orders, and that on account of this being a Japenese show a good or moral character would never disobey.

This.

>>1668346
The point was that the empire itself and all its soldiers were never a true threat to the FPA. It's the persona of Reinhard, the once-in-a-century shining star, that threatened the very spirit of democracy.

Plus the entire empire was held together by Reinhard, and him dying without any plan for succession would mean most of the imperial forces would be forced to return home and either work things out or collapse into warlords based out of local power bases. Any commander that stayed in the FPA would invariably face not only other enemy imperials but the agitation of a populace that now knows there's no huge imperial navy to come reinforce whoever is trying to subjugate them.

>Yang "plot victory" Wenli
I don't get how no one seems to understand why Yang was winning so much, and like those in the show itself think it's magic or something. Yang was just very good at looking at the big picture outside of the battle itself and realize when it became pointless. All those moments where people say he has magic plot insight are just times when he's taking a step back from the chaos of politics and combat and thinking that a lot of the goals everyone has going into the war are pointless and prone to glaring weaknesses.

That's why Kircheis was the only admiral that Yang couldn't bamboozle with his "magic" because Kircheis was like Yang.

Reuental is overrated. He made some big ass mistakes.

Why did Grillpanzer become a backstabbing asshole? He joins Reuental but plans to backstab him, convinces his friend to join but then let's his friend die before actually starting to shoot his allies. He should have just kept to exploration.

Do you guys think the new version will be any good?

>>1678296
Yoshiki Tanaka made this story just for me. If only I'd watched sooner.

>>1678307
Impatient and greed. Wanted to be famous for helping put down Reuental. Also Mecklinger said that he fucked up, since he eventually would have gotten more power.
Also during the battle he couldn't do jack shit because Mittermeyer was hammering Reuental

>>1678313
It can only go downhill or be a 1-1 remake with modern animation, maybe more dynamic combat.

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

You could interpret it as the FPA ships being more effective then their size suggests. Not being able to land might be due to enviromental concerns? But you can also see that FPA ships have weaker cannons but compensate by having more.

>>1678381
But still doesn't excuse the fact that their tech looks outadted compared to the empire's

Perceval best ship. Considering how wide it is, how could it dock with Iserlohn fortress?

Best bridge for sure, but Brunhilde was the best ship

Both are GOAT ships, question is why the empire never build more ships of the perceval and Brunhild class, maybe because elitism.

Anyway Perceval has the best aesthetics. The bridge is kinda dangerous without railings. One small bump and Müller falls 20 meters and kills himself

>Both are GOAT ships, question is why the empire never build more ships of the perceval and Brunhild class, maybe because elitism.
So most of the flagships that we see in the show are supposed to be like one-off tech demonstrators. They show the old class of Imperial flagship in the earlier episodes (effectively a scaled-up regular battleship occasionally accompanied by shield ships), but the ones we see through most of the show are from a new generation. Brunhild stands out because it was a one-off tech demonstrator intended to cram the most advanced features into a flagship regardless of cost (think like Zumwalt or Seawolf).

The flagships that predated Brunhild are supposed to be similar concepts - experimental classes being built alongside eachother to test different technologies. You had ships like Fahrenheit's Asgrimm with it's giant cannons, Lennenkampf's giant Garga Famul, and Kesler's Forseti, which was more of an improvement on the standard design.

Past that you had similar developments, but things were being based off of the successes of Brunhild, leading to ships like Tristan, Beowulf, and Barbarossa, which were supposedly modified mid-construction to make use of those new technologies.

Perceval was supposed to be the newest class of flagship laid down after Brunhild, so it made use of all the technologies Brunhild had shown to work.

Ideally, (read: if the artists decided to stop making a bunch of different cool designs), the flagships would standardize around the Perceval design.

>>1678706
From what I know it seems Müller received the first ship built under the New Reich. So the future Kaiser Alexander will most likely lead fleets of Perceval class ships.

What retard came up with the Perceval (GOAT name by the way). Too wide to be used by Iserlohn's docking ports and even if it has that top tier shield tech and deflector surface it presents a bigger surface to be fire upon

If Kaiser Alexander turns out to be an economic and social genious, is he destined to be fucked over by Reinhard's boast about the Kaiser always leading the way?

>>1678866
Well the larger surface will still have enemy fire glance and ricochet. Iserlohn doesn't have a future either. The corridor has lost it's military value and most likely it will be destroyed.

>>1678870
Well the narrator does mention Alexander leading fleets like his father and following kaisers of the Lohengramm dynasty also do so.

>>1678875
fair point
But Iserlohn won't be destroyed. Maybe they will put a skeleton crew on it and reduce the stationed fleet by 90%, but there is the danger of the republicans rising again in that sector. How do you even destroy or even move iserlohn?

Bigger question is this supply logistics POG managed to get promoted to high admiral without uttering a word

>>1678906
How would the republicans rise in Iserlohn? The treaty Julian concluded with Reinhard was that they would all leave for Heinsessen to set up a semi-independent republic there while Iserlohn returns to the New Reich.

Well Eisenach would have been singled out for quick thinking, Kempf was just a fighterpilot to begin with.

Reinhard's declaration that all Lohengram kaisers will lead from the frontline is similiar to the practice that came after Alexander. All the kings of the new kingdoms would lead from the front to emulate Alexander.

https://youtu.be/xmzHeszOLjE?t=9m30s

I'll have to find the video where the narrator mentions Alexander leading unless I simply remembered it wrong and mixed it up with the speech from the link.

That battle still pisses me off. Reinhard tells Oberstein he would have outright crashed the fortress with no survivors but somehow fails to tell this to his admirals in command of the operation.
Kempf dying was totally his fault

What

>>1660073

I don't know if it was implied or I just assumed it, but wasn't Kircheis supposed to be the most talented character of the entire cast?

>>1679141
Kircheis battled Yang once and forced him to withdraw while fighting Schenkopf in close combat to an inconclusive draw. His only flaw was being too kind.

>>1679141
Yes, he was even a better landfighter than Schenkopp

>>1679100
Reinhard is actually kind of shit.

And no, Kircheis carrying his reeeeeeeeeeee ass doesn't count as shit

dont fucking lie, Schenkopf fought him with ease and compose as opposed to kircheis who is breathing heavy like an old dog from just one swing.

>>1679397
yeah but Kircheis just literally came from an attack and by that point had ran 20+ miles or so. He was exhausted by that point. Schenkopp was defending, he was more fresh than him

Also Kircheis rekt 5 guys in zero g environment without a jetpack or weapons

why not? the old one is popular and only old fans acknowledge it, so are they are least likely to bother trying to modernize it. The manga is something else because it is published in a teen magazine.

>>1679435
You know they will fuck something up. I bet they will this time attempt an actual OST that will sound like shit instead of the classics we got

>>1679422
then wont that just point out that both were at disadvantage, not enough evidence to prove anyone is stronger. But given the fact that Schekopp has been training for close combat for almost his entire life kinda water down kircheis' potential.

>>1679475
Still the fact that Schenkopp coudn't kill him outright makes Kircheis better (if he concentrated on land combat).

back to /a/ you fucking weebs

>>1680291
This is a historical thread. Fuck off to /x/ where you can shitpost about your imaginary religions.

post at least one(1) other character than Alexander from your animer with a name related to the historic Alexander or your thread gets delet

>>1679185
Reinhard can't win in a tactical battle against Yang, as the latter will always counter perfectly any of Reinhard's moves. Would it be the same if Yang were on the offensive (kind of a black/white who goes first chess analogy).

However Reinhard is better than Yang at grand strategy, if only because Yang, while being able to see through at least part of Reinhard's plans, doesn't have the proper means to counter them. That is arguably not his fault though.

>>1677066
She called Trunhit on his bullshit that was plane to see. I know you're baiting or "roleplaying", but fuck you.

>>1680720
But Jessica protested against a futile and corrupt war. The FPA lost millions of lives everytime they showed their faces near Reinhard.

>>1680613
Yang is close to deus ex machina levels of Mary Sue, able to see through every plan every tactic and every strategy, it gets pretty boring at length.

- Bucock only gathered people older than 30 or 40 years old
- When he realized that sneaky attempt to attack Brunhilde failed, he ordered majority of fleet to retreat and regroup with Yang's army
- He decided to stay and postpone chasing.
-- Some of the ships denied the retreat order and followed admiral instead.

- Bucock was stuck between goverment ordes and being obliterated in open battle.
- So he decided to postpone losing as long as possible.
-- Mind that he wanted to commit suicide, but that was averted with vary adjutant.
- He took carefully plannings and utilized everything in space such as solar wind, asteroids w/ mines or even fleet debris.

He is truly the great character. Knowing his fate beforehand (thankfully his suicide attempt was averted), he decided to pull up best strategy in which his objective was fulfilled w/o taking heavy casualties. He didn't curse his faith, instead he took it calmly as a soldier / old veteran.

>>1681536
He started as a common soldier fighting under Bruce Ashbey and ended up as fleet admiral knowing people like Yang and Reinhard. Remarkable life.
