To be forced towards an ignoble death or to be forced to live an ignoble life...which path leads closer to happiness?

I'm agreeing to some extent, it's really people from the Alliance and Galactic Empire stirring up trouble with BAD decisions because of what they think is right. Reinhard NEVER AGREED to this!

While it's true, Yang lied about Merkatz (Yang being source of future trouble), whether Yang actually ever plans to revolt is a separate matter. Arresting Yang to kill him based on rumor charges is the WORST way to kill Yang.

Reason Why

1. It's not justifiable (For ALL THIS TIME, Reinhard has made JUSTIFICATION for each action, ex. war, kiilling a person - even if using underhanded methods, Reinhard always achieved JUSTIFICATION)

Right now, Not only is there no glory, what the dumbasses are doing is harming an innocent man, shaming the Empire/Alliance, and worst of all - they FAILED in killing Yang. This gives Yang every right to fight back for real.

Reinhard will be sooo sooo sad to hear this.....

Wow, another consequence free idiotic epiosde with a lot of pointless bloodshedding, only for the purpose for remembering you that its still an anime about war. Really? Thats your justification? Thats your cruelty about war, a bunch of unknown people, noone cares about being killed by an unexplained overpowered retard?

And Wenli was extremely retarded in this episode once more. I normally dont listen to this idiot anymore anyways, but for once i though: "Fuck it, what come of his, on braincancer suffering mind know?"

"In that case, I have no choice but to become a disciple of egoism."

Thats why you keep fighting for the Free Planets Alliance? You think everyone who died in "justice" for your Free Planets Alliance was acting out of egoism? You know what egoism means? It means you get the hell out of there and try to make yourself a happy and long life, abonden the idiots who cant accpet the Kaiser as their new leader. What you are doing now is just the result out of a manipulating believe that fighting for your Free Planets Alliance is your highest goal. Not to mention that he PROMISSED Lohengramm that he would retire. So much to that. Wenli is a lyer now as well, besides being an idiot without any kind of strategic plan and a racist.

If i would really listen to what this asshole says all the time, i bet half the time he would make me laugh as hell because of his idiotic and illogical believes

Wenli has to keep fighting, because otherwise he would be killed by the goverment. He's fighting against his will. If you have to choose between your own life and others, most people would choose their own. Wenli is no different in the end.

I think it is ingenious how everything is not black and white in this show. It does not set on anyone's side.

It looks at everything at almost a neutral stance. And still at the same time shows the ridiculousness of war. That's quite an achievement.

Lockensocke said:


Wenli doesnt have to fight. He could just run away and live a happy life in any random planet and if you think they would find him (even though the imperial military is clearly unable to find anyone hidden, like in epiosde 44 where they couldnt find the hidden politicean in their captured city) then why doesnt he just pretend his own death so noone would search for him. For a strategic geniues this would be quite easily.

Furthermore does this anime not present to the audience the ridiculousness of war, rather the storywriters ridiculous believe how war works or lets call it lack of educating. This anime doesnt uses its war to present any kind of message. You only got Wenli who talkes about democracy a lot but besides the fact that democracy isnt a direct matter of war, only one of many reason for it, are his believes about democracy lacking in important points. I can see that you might say: Its an anime with childish believes of democracy for people who have childish believes over democracy", who are clearly the majority of people out there, but for that statment i have to say that even though this anime has this topic in it it doesnt mean it has it as its greater message. Having a clear message for an anime with over 100 epiosde is quite hard. You would need to let the audience think about EVERYTHING that happend, with an impacting ending, but it has to build up for it as well. Not every side of this show presents a clear favor for democracy especially since the imperial who support a fashism dictatorship are being presented likeable for the audience with them having common morals and ordinary "good" believes. The imperials side is more like: "You have to fight to get the leader over everyone" (the reason is greed btw) and the alliance is more like "You have to defend the system you like the most" (because you grown up in it and your parents told you that its better). Thats the both concepts but the representations is made only a very tiny amount of the whole screentime. The most screentime in the whole anime is: strategic plans (which are all illogical as hell), politics (which are very lacking in important realistic events), fighting scenes (also very illogical) and personal discussion about their plans.

I would also say that calling war ridiculous is pretty naive, since this argument cleary doesnt analyze every psychological aspect of war. What are the psychological adventages and disadvantages of war on the human mind, what are the effects on it?
If you dont want to read a psychology book i would suggest to watch the anime "The skycrawlers" to get a better few of this topic.

This was boring episode. I hate how Rosenrittens can just faceroll over any enemy. They just slaughtered all attacking enemies and did not take one hit. They even charged into guys firing them without taking a hit! Finally Lennenkampt manages to hit and kill one of them while imperials lost something like 200? Apparently you don't need Yang or Reinhard to conquer the world. You just need fucking invincible Schenkopp to kill everyone else.

I am so pissed off that Yang has to go back to the life he desperately wanted to leave behind.

Walter and the Rosenritters stole the show again. That was an intense and successful mission, but too bad they let Lennenkampt commit suicide in the end. The makeup suggestion was clever enough to cover for it though.

Walter commanding from the frontlines and sparing the younger soldier was magnificent. Dusty the Pirate ftw. Also, Cazellnu and his family are very bold to join up with Yang from here on out. Bucock also being reinstated...

So much has happened, and I'm expecting a lot more to happen in the remaining 48 episodes! Though I don't really want this anime to end.
