New episode soon
Kotobuki
Tell me: why do people (Nips and Westerners) like this show more than GAF when GAF has the cuter girls?
It's an actual plane show and not run-of-the-mill LN shit with a plane coat of paint.
Who cares about girls when you have Johnny
>than GAF when GAF has the cuter girls?
GAF has male MC no one likes in such type of shows, GAF planes have horrible look and colors.
The action in GAF is just bad and it feels like your usual harem show where every girl gets her episode with male MC to bond with.
Compared to that Kotobuki girls have various actions with different characters, it's not locked in girls only world, the fights are much better, the girls seems to have more personality than GAF ones which are just harem cutouts, there is actual world building involved in Kotobuki where they try to tell some story than the idiocy we see in GAF with special snowflake male MC.
The sound design.
>GAF planes have horrible look and colors.
>implying Gripen/Eagle/Phantom aren't cuties
>implying they're unattractive
>Liking GAF
My condolences.
>GAF has the cuter girls
?
Reposting from previous thread.
The windmill picture in the hospital is actually Huis Ten Bosch, which means the portal between Ijitsu and Yufang closed around 1990s. If the portal was closed 70 years ago, right now our world is actually already in the future in the story.
Maybe in this episode they'll try to investigate Yufang portal again.
Jets are shit.
>GAF has the cuter girls
The premise to your question is false.
15 minutes until subs.
user, the episode hasn't aired yet
>flat Ririko
I think he meant actual planes, because Phantom with COFFIN and canards looks terrible.
Saab 1

At least link tho the full video.
Aw fuck, I'm retarded, sorry.
nicovideo.jp
Well, fuck. HS scheduled fucked somehow then.
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Where do you download kotobuki gacha? Asking for a friend.
Apkpure
I want her to smack me good for being too rough with my plane.
I understand what you mean, but imho it really doesnt fit (what we know of) the story. Planes point to WW2 era and the way they talk about the event gives the vibe it wasnt very long, several years perhaps and then it closed again.
If it were to imply it was opened whole time shall we say between 1950-1990 our time and then it would very differently in Ijitsu I think.
They see your _____.
plane
Starting
pancake
cute
Where is the episode?
I can't read any fucking moon. Any chance this gets an English translation?
Also why do I get 2 kyries?
I bet Belka did this
>Useless shit pricks everywhere
>Hetshit with the weak older brother prick
>Losing to Wataten that is free of show-stealing pricks and shoehorned hetshit
Holy fuck, what happened to the guy who directed Girls und Panzer? GuP didn't have any of this bullshit to be a success.
>When your pancake tank is empty
next week
I like that hat.
yeah this show makes me wish there was a sound design category at the Anime Awards
oh my. didnt expect them to go "there" just yet. I mean, what are the odds they would suddenly find something after 80 years
cute
>Hating on flat
The real pleb is you.
Why is the episode so late today? Last week the raws were out an hour ago.
JULIA's personal emblem is belka ball.
isnt it daylight sayings time
perhaps. did murrica switch already?
Its out.
HS up
Murica is irrelevant. Just looked it up, Japan has abolished daylight savings time in 2018 or so, so that can't be the reason. Two weeks ago the raws were out two hours ago.
>Episode starts airing in Japan about 50 minutes ago and ended about 20 minutes ago
>Raws were out two hours ago
>no loop
Thanks, I hate it
Big drills on this one.
Stop trying to start fanbase wars
Best girl.
That's a big tongue.
>office/playground
My sides.
Really, as i know, both of the show not doing that well in preorder, though both are okay~ish show, i still prefer Girly Airforce because 2D
** 1,251 (â–¼ ** 1,044) [Amazon.co.jp Limited] Kotobuki Squadron in the Wilderness Blu-ray Box

Knew it
Noice.
Please don't post a horrible thing like that ever again.
Jets soon.
>prop planes
Yuck!
Neat.
Stop, that's Emma's domain
All the characters with Japanese names are bad guys.
So they're not even trying to hide it anymore are they? looks like the butler is the brains of the operation though.
Julia kakkoii.
Murder mode Kylie next week, can't wait.
i know nothing about planes , but that looked like a hard to pull off maneuver
looks really cool though
>KYLIE co-pilots with someone who can tell her to chill the fuck out and think
>she turns into the fucking demon of the round table in a prop plane
more of that
It makes sense. ISAO is the "dumb muscle" while the butler is the wise tactician.
She just had high ping.
What does he plan on doing? Unite the entire desert world and invade Yufang?
>Unite
Conquer.
Same thing.
10/10 episode.
Even thought I got lost in the politics.
I don't want him to be the bad guy.
That's a little late, buddy.
That sort of thing is pretty easy to pull off in a bi-plane, they are extremely forgiving aircraft especially trainer ones.
Sure Adolf
It was Butler!!
Imagine styling on everyone in a biplane
Can't Loulou just fucking play with her already ending in sex on the swings?
webm user, can you make bored Kirie from start of the episode?
cute!too latecorrect
based
>these scene
MUH DICK.Quality might be shit, trying to fit in the 3mb limit.
I didn't come here to get hit with reality
>sex on the swings
How?
>little girl talking mad shit
Kylie is a bad influence. She was a shy angel just an episode or two ago.
>Have location of the hole patrolled for tech and to keep uncooperative elements away
>offer pirate amnesty to build an army of pilots to fight uncooperative elements
>Monopolize oil industry to bleed out uncooperative elements
>have rare/powerful aircraft located and confiscated from uncooperative elements
What is the end goal here?
They started with bombplane (gunboat) dimplomacy now
The trick here is the early heavy rudder movement which skids the plane and makes the plane go off iin a chaotic movement that the pilot barely controls.
The invasion of Yufang.
I regret posting my stats.
not too shabby for a rear gunner
Why everyone bully FO
cringe and bluepilled
You better post improved ones once the show is over.
Learn when and where to use your buzzwords, newfriend. Welcome, by the way.
He's the designated butt monkey. But he can take it.
Dang, that was a lot to process. Shit tons of plot all of a sudden.
>wet for isao
>he is the dumb muscle all this time
Butler might be a yufang, planning stuff.
>I can't wait to be a piece of shit and investigate the Yufang portal
>Fuck Im getting ambushed
>It keeps happening
Is this alcoholic cripple ever going to wise up?
>wet for isao
Why would you be wet for that fag, user?
>all of a sudden
Dunno about that.
There was lots of buildup in all previous episode.
This seems just like culmination of everything.
Don't worry about it, I'm 11:2 with that trash can.
>difficult to process
What is there that is hard to understand?
We all know Isao has been trying to place a single government and control all other cities, his reasons still unclear, and that him and the air pirates have been eyeing on Yufang tech for a long time now. We also know Julia is a Belkan and wants to keep the borders where they are.
B-but muh Yufang alcohol!
and
>have now become too big for others to rationaly stop them
>cover themselves with slogans about freedom and democracy
Just what does all that remind me of. Oh yeah, the goal was to become America
>mfw watching anime
obsessed
>only 3 episodes left
Hold me, buddies
>tfw I never even spaded that piece of shit
Take back rightful clay from filthy Yufang.
Great episode. But I expected KIRIE to get at least some resolution.
Isao gonna be the last boss with the pancake plane you fags keep posting.
Jesus, this better not be yet another character development ending.
I like both shows for different reasons. Why do people insist on having fanbase wars?
that plane is too american to be in this show
Pancake plane isn't nipponese though.
She's gonna get longer hair?
bald
Stack 'em high for KIRIE!
>implying last boss isn't going to be F-22 Raptor
Japan has a shit taste as usual, they only want moe uguu girl doing nothing
I don't have to imagine.
Silly people.
Its a surprise trade from yufang. Though I was just making a joke but seeing how close japan and usa after ww2, some american plane suddenly appears later wont be much of a surprise to me.
>Kotobuki Squadron in the Wilderness
>Kotobuki Snowboard of the Wilderness
Blessed Mizushima works his magic in all these dogfight scenes.
I want an anime where it's 24 episodes of dogfights nonstop by this man. I don't even care if it's all 3DCG. I'd watch all of it while stroking my dick.
JULIA did nothing wrong.
>tfw Isao is in fact just PR puppet and seems to have no clue at all
now we finally have a candidate for redemption arc (but proly not much time)
She must be sad to leave the playground.
The numbers check out
>using a wacom tablet as a monitor
W-what?
Sneaky sneeki spotted!
Did the guy just...
Where's the yuri crossover where Kylie passionately pilots Gripen?
it's a screen tablet, I occasionally use it to draw
What an angel.
Kirie a cute!
>pilots
* crashes
Good catch
>you can put .50 cals on this thing
>at 1.7
Maybe I should give it a go. It even has some nice camos to unlock.
Don't forget gacha codes.
What recipe is that?
I love these two goofballs.
Goddamn (((Belkans)))
Wait so what's the political situation in those cities now? I am a brainlet.
One city is becoming too powerful or something?
It's weak jap fiddys.
holy shit. i didnt look close enough. but I will say that: Fucking told you so!!
Kylie was always "the natural" of the group, they've remarked multiple times she's got an easy handle on any plane.
Look at these sweet numbers
That drunk wheelie boy is really something else, I laughed when he mounted the machine gun on the training plane and shot down a few Shiden-kai's.
Another amazing episode of dogfights as usual.
entertain her user.
cute!
Brainlet here, what's going on?
I thought Julia just signed off on the deal with Isao's Ikesuka faction, why is she suddenly reneging on it?
Fucking American magicians.
Sick burn.
>CUM
Truly he's the best drunk.
This show has some great bantz.
Good enough to fuck up biplanes.
>CUM
>Last Shitposting
So what's the betting pool on Pilot X's identity?
She will be good commander one day
>I was only pretending to be retarded
My own.
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
5 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 and 1/2 cup milk
Mix to combine but allow some lumps to remain as this is crucial for fluffiness. Pour desired amount into a hot oiled pan on medium high heat as you would a normal pancake and wa la you've got pankeki
I want to bring loli Kylie on a plane ride and make her piss above me.
They now switched to full "Join or die" policy. Its probably not official forces or orders, but Isao/Butler have that private army of brown planes to do the dirty work.
>tell me a story
>no, not that one, that one's boring
I would say Sab but enough time has passed that he might be too old to fly or even dead.
So I'm putting my money on Sab's grandkid.
I don't want it to end. Hope the gachashit's doing well enough to get more anime.
>it's the KYRIE depression episode
The "story" was literally just the events of the last episode
FASTER
was the ep count confirmed yet? gief full 24 season
Trick question, Kyrie is always depressed.
What a pretty baka.
Clearly he is working for Julia, not Sab
Kotobuki BD come out with code?
is the game doing well?
>gief full 24 season
48
The music during their cruising is really nice.
That motherfucker, what's his angle?
One of those "Cheery on the outside, dead on the inside" deals.
Not difficult, a lot to process. Some significant amount of time passed and a bunch of plot threads are winding together.
I need a loop
>not wearing your KOTOBUKI colors
They talk so fast, my weak nip can't keep up.
cutehm i wonder
That screenshot predates that userskin.
Julia was still debating with Isao as fellow councilor regarding policies in ep 5, but because of his stunt on defeating the "air pirates", he got the moral high ground about pirates and became Ikesuka mayor in the between episodes to ep 8. From this point, they're no longer equal, as Isao gets supports for his heroism and Ikesuka proceeds to go gunplane diplomacy on every other cities.
YOU CALL THAT FASTER, MAGGOT? YOU CAN DO BETTER. NOW GO FASTER FOR REAL
This isn't my 80s Hong Kong kung fu movies.
I'm almost satisfied
Kylie's existential crisis is super cute.
webm for retards doesn't go faster
Now that's a party.
Kylie needs to realize that borders haven't given us anything.
The monopolization of violence obviously. It's the cornerstone of nationbuilding.
ISAO is what the world needs but not what it wants
My poor sides.
...
[Whistling intensifies]
I hope the Yufang show up with jets and wreck Isao.
Also, note how Isao uses the accusation that people who doesn't join him are allying with ((pirates)) as his casus belli to perform armed intervention on other cities.
>Ho-Ho-Ho! Now I have a machinegun.
Nationalization of industry soon.
So basically teh fish thingy is a falseflag to put hagaromo out of commission ?
>you're boring
that's pretty hurtful.
>her optimism and pancakes are gone
Look like they will become the new Imperial Japan.
That was just a bonus, despite failing the overall mission.
Originally, Isao intended to borrow them soldiers as a way of showing off his new air force when they fought of pirates. Kotabuki corps declined the escorts though. When that happened, they turned to plan B instead, show off the new military force by blowing up the pirates who hijacked the blimp.
The whole thing turned into a (very minor) setback though as the kotabuki handled everything on their own. Hence why Isao is now trying to buy them out instead as a new tactic (since they are Julias only reliable cronies).
The politics in this series is actually pretty good
COMPLETE GLOBAL DOMINATION
To be fair, he is pretty boring. I wonder if madame keeps him on the ship just as a punching bag
And Plan B try to splinter the squadron with big offers. Altho Im suprised they didnt jump them with assassin planes already when they were separated one by one.
There will be a shitshow in Rahama next ep I presume, with that slimy jap look-alike spy stirring it up.
>Our new pankeki overlord is not a merciful one
Emergency dildo.
RIP Ancapistan, we hardly knew ye.
>Altho Im suprised they didnt jump them with assassin planes already when they were separated one by one.
He wants them on his side, also, their fame protects them a bit.
still, I'd rather be called an asshole or something
I CAN'T BELIEVE KYLIE IS FUCKING DEAD
Maybe he has a special skill we don't know about like the bartender. I'm sure madame carefully picked her staff.
Who was the girl EMMA was talking with anyways?
He must be doing that on purpose tbqh. She asks for a story and he goes with what happened last week, when she was fucking there too.
Do you think it's possible that the Tojo-looking ex-HR guy is Yufang? He looks like he came right out of American WW2 propaganda, but I don't know if nips would ever portray themselves like that.
Erai out now as well
I want to have fun talking about KYRIE's hole
where does she find all that happiness?
So snake pilot is the Old guy, right?
Maybe they would.
based pancake
I assume she was her classmate or neighbour. Same social circles, from the way they talked.
Me.
>I don't know if nips would ever portray themselves like that.
Watch Princess Principal.
Maybe not in looks, but they sure portrayed themselves as weird foreigners in behavior
>allow some lumps to remain
Into the trash it goes.
Hmm, I wonder what were they carrying in the first ep that attracted their attention.
Nobody in anime look like Nip, at all, even those based in Japan. Dont know how it works lol. Them making someone look like one usualy hints something.
>Doesn't know the secret to fluffy pancakes
sad
Nice tits.
Maybe one of the mobage character?
He probably speaks Dodo
No
I don't know but is easy to see why people hate you guys so much and love GAF more here, Kotobukifags are Yea Forums tier shitposters.
Considering the amount of planes ISAO controls both officially and covertly, and the backbone economics he has, does anyone realistically have any way to stop (or at least significantly hinder) his plans on consolidating power?
KOTOBUKIs are great pilots, but they are just 6 mercenaries, they don't have the supply or political clout to start rebellions.
Kill/capture the head (butler and isao) and break up his companies afterwards.
New portal to Yufang soon, so my guess is that Sab will come back from the portal with a bunch of planes to wreck Isao and butler who are actually a bunch of criminals that escaped into this world.
Dodo? More like doodoo.
O Sab'ji will come in with his fleet of superior Japanese 1000x folded steel zeros and slaughter any planes piloted by the bad guys.
It's a retarded anime where 1 girl is stronger than 5 men, I don't think you should be looking for logic here.
The butler guy is definitely from Yufang and is probably trying to build a new empire.
You can kill Isao and the butler, but how do you kill the state he's created?
nukes
Having a couple of goofy action scenes does not mean the politics of the show don't have logic, brainlet. I didn't see anyone complaining when Johnny went full gunslinger last week.
It will be back into anarchy again where free market will take care of it sooner or later.Just like before isao.
Something involving the Yufang which will trick Isao's army of pirates into backstabbing everyone else that plunges his nation into anarchy as the armed forces splinter apart and terrorize towns. Which will also create tons of work opportunities for the Kotobukis.
if they were the singular masters, it will fall apart itself. to speed it you reveal in public all the shit they were up to
is that a friendship contract?
I want to buy out Kylie contract and make her do my bidding.
It's just the retard from previous threads who doesn't actually watch the show. Ignore & report as usual.
>You have to do my bidding now, and you'll have to eat all these pancakes.
speedwatcher here, whose plane is this again?
Pancakes and corpses.
The Belkan plane is Julia's private one.
A sneaky snek can be spotted hiding behind the tree
It's nice that she properly uses her goggles with an open canopy.
>Julia-sama
Make the googles darker and add a beard
Kill yourself.
Point taken.
Their planes are weird
Step on me, Julia-sama!
It's like she trying to push a big lump of pancake batter out
cute
not him but i am also a fellow pankeki watcher
Secret to full is to whip whites separetly into cream and that combine with the rest
Enjoying them both.
*secret to fluff
I want someone to draw that.
I'll have to try that, though my way works perfectly too but this sounds like it'd be fun to try so thanks for the idea user
Do you think anyone will die in the final battle?
Anyone else would've given up.
The dodo.
I want to be like her when I grow up.
Don't give me these kinds of ideas, user
But I want you to have those kinds of ideas.
People are either constipated or have the runs in this show. She has the pancakes.
but that's too lewd for me to draw
Nothing is too lewd for you to draw. I believe in you.
Don't listen to him! Fight the desire!
>expect them to be important to the episode's story
>they are there just as mobage cameos
man this episode was really, really good
having trash thrown at you by everyone?
What a plot heavy episode. Not going to call a rushed ending but I'm feeling it.
What even is this city
I don't think it will be a rushed ending if they plan to end it by restoring status quo.
Something like PriPri had.
I'm hoping they'll end it with a movie or something.
Ancient Aliens
Their role was just to show that the world is bigger than the Kotobukis
Probably the actual culture of locals.
I though they were AA towers but it seems none really are
we dont know, wish they had world exposition corner. the architecture is indeed interesting
Ikr, plot just kick two gears up
They're probably air attack watch towers, since every villiage seems to have a small informal airforce that they scramble in response to threats.
A city whose mayor spends half of the people's taxes on making everything as ugly and jarring as possible. It's the best method to keep air pirates away.
I'm sure cripple didn't just "happen" to want to go out to fly that day
This party isn't over yet.
STOP. THAT'S TOO MUCH. THAT'S NOT WHAT I ORDERED
>mfw the entire anime is full of Japanese planes
Did the nips ever figure out how to fight the P-38? IIIRC it was just massively faster than anything they had.
>>mfw the entire anime is full of Japanese planes
to keep people like you away
We can see 3 distinct designs, and none seem to have the necessary design or equipment to serve as a watch tower.
From the current shot the Smooth towers seem to be the most prevalent, followed by the monoliths and then the Tower of Pisa looking ones.
I suspect that the smooth towers and the monoliths might have been half submerged at one point in history
Dammit, trips? This show is great though. I’d realy love to see some other WW2 planes get some screen time but we all know that’s not the point.
Planes from other countries would just turn these threads into a "my dad could beat your dad" shitfest like the GATE ones. I'm glad they only have Jap planes.
they had some great bantz
The whole thing was
>Bantz : The Episode
Copy pasted tower town.
samei love her so much! she's actually willing to stand up to those bought out losers
Those are just minaret for the muezzin to call for prayers.
this loli needs a dicking to fix her smugness
>Hailed as heroes for their deeds
>Labeled as villains by the puppeteers in charge (you know it will happen)
>Will go rogue both helping and getting help from the ousted leader (Julia)
When history witnesses a great change Kotobuki reveals itself. First, as a dark demon.
I'm having way too much fun with this.
No one is going to comment that Khrill means Meter?
Or was this already got established long ago and i'm just retarded?
>Or was this already got established long ago and i'm just retarded?
Yes to both.
The latter unfortunately.
Alcoholic cripple is the best character
Well, shit.
any webms of JULIA getting hit during this scene?
I want Julia to hit me.
Can't really say I'm against ISAO's methods after this episode, he is in a race against time here, imagine little girls this savage growing up and getting their hands on fighter aircrafts without the need for any kind of licence or supervision. Denying the rape of Nanking would be considered a kinkshaming in such a world.
>not recognizing Nekomusume
Katebro is fucking smooth.
Krupp?!
He also has a death wish
German engineered interdimensional portals.
Came just after the Ratte
>union registration
Now the thuggery REALLY begins!
They will make the pirates look like the amateurs they always were.
Whatever aircraft, you say?
>>sex between females
I think that's the bigger mystery right there.
>bombplane
Is that anything like a bomber?
Isn't he a little young to be hitting the sauce that hard? I thought he was a teen.
He's a cripple, only thing he can do is drink to push away the frustration and sadness.
It's all he has left since he can no longer fly by himself. He's probably hoping it kills him before he turns 30.
How did KYRIE not notice KATE's brother bringing a machine gun into the plane?
Distracted by thoughts of pancakes.
Which two?
Probably pancakes and the midget
The person who cares about Kylie the most is clearly Chika but Kylie treats her like shit. When will this change?
I'm guessing that's a Type 92 7.7mm not!Lewis MG.
and her desire to kill
This show is too damned good. If they end it with a cinematic dog fight between Snake and KYRIE over Yufang it will unironically be top tier kino.
>implying it's not permanently stowed there just in case
>wa la
That's not how you spell voilà .
Chika more like ugly child
Yes it is.
There's no need to guess when it is so obvious.
it's a shitty meme I've seen on /ck/
Reminds me of that one Bosnian war criminal drinking poison meme.
>I've got much better aim with a little drink in me.
Ethan Thomas, go see the Magic Man already.
When I started this show I was not expecting to become so invested in the setting and political intrigue. I was just here for fun dialogue and great dogfights with awesome sound design, but the story is actually compelling in its own right.
Not dead, just airsick.
Fuck ISAO and fuck COMMIES
I love this joke.
She's cute.
Her eyes aren't looking in the same direction.
I don't get it.
You mean he stutters?
I expect they gonna meet on the ground -officialy- next time, but KYRIE might try to claw Sneks eyes out. But they will probably end up as allies I guess, because this is only place and people Julia can run to atm.
What would it be like to be married to KYLIE?
fatal
That's like ending to Star Wars episode 2, with sudden huge armies and charismatic dudes becoming (secretly evil) leaders.
Still looking for that image of Erica lunging at Gertrude with a V-2 in her hand with the macro "PREPARE YOUR ANUS!".
she's checking you out, user!
Please describe this child
Freaky rat-goblin.
Adorable.
Kylie and her pancake look so much better in 2D.
>white hair
>sick
>drunkard
All he needs now is to be a widower or having a very young sister.
C-cute.
He has an autistic sister, that's close enough.
>whip whites separetly
What do you do with the rest of it? Just toss it out?
Angery
Spoiler because this might annoy someone.
Usually in post feminist anime, there is some sort of hope in the form of the younger males, with some mother-son against the father implications. Here, the situation is completely hopeless, and the younger generations are even easier to persuade, and more violent.
Silly ears
>Did the nips ever figure out how to fight the P-38?
I was about to say just dive, but then I remember we're talking Japanese planes.
>Tower of Pisa looking ones
They look more like Ionic columns.
So am I; in terms of hype and publicity all the other nations already get more than enough - too much if we're talking about the yanks!
Is it finally time to put the statists in their place?
>snakeheart was actualy JULIA all along
>last episode will be a dogfight between JULIA and ISAO while this plays youtube.com
Looks like an Assassin's Creed map.
You could say Tower of Pisa is one big column
It's always time to put statists in their place.
>Imagine her having this same expression while she is buried to the hilt inside you.
you ever met a person who can raise your own personal sun and make all worries disappear with a single smile?
probably like that every day.
and you'd have to make a lot of pancakes.
How big is her dick?
Oh yes.
>dorcing shitty memes
Stop that!
that's a lot of ivory towers. this city is evil.
I want Kylie to pee on me.
All these flat roofs and the spanish names make me think of Mexico
So, it's just like real life.
It's a reference to Kikuko Inoue, a va who jokes about being eternally 17.
>forcing*
FML
...
I'm not a pissfag but this is making me have second thoughts I wonder if it would taste like syrup, that would be nice
Larger than Leona.
...
sorry user, I won't do it again
We better have some flamenco over gregorian chants for the final dogfight.
"Speedwatcher" here, at this point I think I'm only watching this for the dogfights because the actual story is completely lost on me.
All the political stuff in this show isn't laid out clearly enough for my dumb brain to understand what's going on and all the anons here trying to explain it make me feel like I've somehow skipped an episode or something because they're talking about scenes of dialogue that I can't recall for the life of me.
At least all the flying and pewpewing is nice.
All the cities in this show are like all the ancient greek city states that don't like each other. Magician mayor wants to unite them all under his control using air pirates and intimidation to do it.
>What if the Yufang were Belkans and AWWNB who had somehow discovered dimensional travel, then decided to warp back to Strangereal at intervals, explaining why Galm 1 faces a different squadron depending on which style he adopts because it is a differentiating timeline
should probably just stick to stuff like DB, you won't have to think to get the most out of it
Not just normal unions, but government-mandated unions, the worst kind of union.
I hope they preserve their AnCap way of life.
*Shoots down every plane in this shitty show*
>There are a number of disconnected towns with their own local governments
>Throughout the show Isao has used the Kotobuki corps to make Ikesuka more powerful than the other city states and pirates
>Ikesuka is now trying to unify them under itself using force of arms that Kotobuki helped fund with their missions
>Yufang is trying to prevent this unification which is why they tried to crash the air ship into the town.
>using an unguided anti-tank grenade launcher against planes
Oh shit nigger what are you doing
>Unguided tandem HEAT against planes
Tofu time.
The flat buildings are part of the locals culture. They seem to fit an arid desert environment. See Santa Fe style and compared the shape of the roof ornaments to what we see in the picture.
This, together with the amount of spanish names suggests that Mexicans where the first people to come here. Or, this could be Mexico full stop. Though the map is different iirc.
The tower of Pisa towers reinforce my opinion that renaissance period Italians arrived to this world. Other reasons for this idea is the name Zara, the Italian name for a town in Croatia, and the culture of the place, which seems a modern development of Italian maritime Republics.
The black towers with the obelisks might be based on the Jubilee Tower, ie the British influence we already know of. But I think they are based on the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
The pin looking towers are completely alien to me. The aspire tower kinda look like them?
cant wait
Reminder that unions are actually a fully capitalist concept based on the idea that the workers and the employer can reach a fair market value.
The problem here is , Isao is going to use unions to protect his and the government's interests.
Monkey ears.
Wait, I thought that their world was fully desert.
You're doing it wrong.
Here, how's this?
>Reminder that unions are actually a fully capitalist concept based on the idea that the workers and the employer can reach a fair market value.
Tell that to modern unionists.
>IR-guided missiles against prop planes
Still wrong.
WW2 prop engines aren't giving that much heat as jets do.
I love it
Julia is best girl and the only one not being seduced by a flying trickster.
How old are they supposed to be, anyway?
Those are probably cultivated fields separated by tree hedges, what looks desert is ploughed land. We'd have to see more of it, but it is possible that they have running water for the fields, even if we don't see it.
Based Snek women will step on the plotting statists.
I wish she would step on me.
I don't get it, is JULIA working with the Snake or she's being spied?
Maybe she is the Snake.
>belkans are the good guys
what timeline is this?
>Reminder that unions are actually a fully capitalist concept based on the idea that the workers and the employer can reach a fair market value.
I think you free market fanboys are too absorbed economics and totally ignoring the political aspect. I mean the early 20th century was marked by worker movements demanding better wages and working conditions. Things like the 8 hour day were fought for and were not simply handed freely.
For comparison
The good timeline.
They'd have died by by now if that were the case. It's probably just mostly desert with a few places that have decent water tables under the surface.
They were always the good guys.
And thus began the life of Julia the air pirate queen.
My Queen!
It just goes to show how important charisma is. She's about as charismatic as a cactus that stinks of shit next to Isao, so it doesn't matter that he's a tyrant and she's advocating freedom.
Indeed she is the snake.
I bet she would give up the autonomy if Loulou would play with her in her office.
Get back to work
This is exactly what Isao wants though. He consolidated his power by using the threat of the air pirates to scare people into allying with him, and now he's getting rid of dissidents by simply branding them as air pirates or being in collusion with air pirates to discredit them. Julia becoming a pirate is exactly what he wants because then he won't even have to lie about it.
Maybe she would take Loulou's autonomy.
I still want to fuck that rat.
Why does her office look like a daycare center?
not him but modern IR missiles are more than capable of tracking props
Don't kinkshame.
Y'all talking politics, but no one have noticed that Kate's brother is a fucking top-tier matematician.
We just don't care.
Maybe she had a kid, some relative's kid or an orphan there or she abandoned her child Kylie and something.
>the hole in the bottom right
Yeah.
It seems their understanding of physics is way beyond what was during WW2
Unionization of workers was successful in large part due to the fact that communist revolutions had occurred willy nilly all over the world in the last 50 years, so democratic nations were on edge about the discontent of workers rights advocates being subverted by communists. At first the state tried violently suppressing them, but that became untenable as the movements grew and were able to get more and more local politicians elected that were sympathetic to them.
Eventually the combination of the size of the union movement plus the increasingly sympathetic members of government resulted in cooperation rather than antagonism. But more cynically, I think it's that after the initial wave of revolutionaries stepped down from power in the unions they were replaced by the typical greedy, ambitious fucks that always rise to power in any group, and the political machine found out it was easy to maintain the status quo just by bribing them.
Seriously I cringed when she went straight to the swing set like she was a disgruntled little child that lost her favorite toy.
>The city states will be governed by this autist
What a twist.
The real question is why all those playground things are for two people. A see-saw needs a second person, her swing set has two swings.
I think she really misses Loulou.
>In a boom or bust economy, many people turn to piracy when their mines dry out
>JULIA wants to create programs to rehabilitate pirates back into society to reduce criminality
>She's also opposed to ISAO, who she despises mostly on a personal level since she doesn't trust him
>ISAO wants to create a strong government that regulates weaponry and pilots to monopolize violence
>Adapting a "strong response to pirates" policy, ISAO creates legitimacy for his politics by shows of strenght against pirates
>At the same time, he is coordinating with a bunch of ex-military/pirates/mercenaries to stage attacks on civilian targets
>And he's also buying out oil companies in order to control the fuel everyone needs to get into the air in the first place
>He tried to buy out the Kotabukis, presumably not because of a personal grudge, but because he knows they are politically sympathic to Julia
>Now he's started to forcibly annex cities that won't abide to his politics by using "cooperation with pirates" as casus belli
>Oh and the Butler might be a japanese isekai'd military officer who is the "man behind ISAO", that's why he knew ol'Seb, who is probably an old japanese fighter ace
Worker unions work because it fucking sucks when your workforce goes on an organized strike.
Only americans are cucked enough to think worker unions are bad, mostly as a result of a huge propaganda effort on the part of very rich people who don't want to pay their workers fair wage and fair hours.
>that model of the atom
Yeah he is indeed a mathematician,, the bloody nerd.
While you are right, Id say these are pretty much standard models.
Kinda hard to read, but it's mostly general relativity. There is even the definition for Christoffel symbols on the bottom part.
>Worker unions work because it fucking sucks when your workforce goes on an organized strike.
Yes, but that doesn't mean you cave into them. If you cave once, then they know it works and can demand more and more from you in the future. To prevent this, initially they took a hard line stance against them and used all kinds of methods to break up the groups: strike breakers, hired goons, political pressure due to being in tight with local politicians on account of making campaign contributions and the like.
Basically, at the start, business owners had no reason to capitulate to unions and politicians were not sympathetic to them. It wasn't until the political threat of communism reared its head that politicians started taking disputes between workers and businesses seriously for its own sake than to just keep the rich people who bribe them happy, and it wasn't until unions began organizing politically that politicians saw cooperation better than antagonism.
>But more cynically, I think it's that after the initial wave of revolutionaries stepped down from power in the unions they were replaced by the typical greedy, ambitious fucks that always rise to power in any group, and the political machine found out it was easy to maintain the status quo just by bribing them.
That's what I feel too. Unions seem like a dead end as a form of resistance against Capital in the 21st century though i'm not sure if this applies to third world countries.
She could've gotten one of those bouncy horse rides. Would've been funny to see her sitting on one of those trying to seem dignified.
I find this interesting and I assume this is just part of Isao's wider plan to have monopoly on fighter pilots.
Making it so complicated to be one that most simply won't bother.
Why would someone as rich as her buy standard models?
There aren't really see-saws for one person.
Also, pair production on the right, I think
Unions are essentially an attempted democratic solution to a flaw of democracy, which is the corruptibility of elected officials through the accumulation of money and influence used to manipulate elections. Because unions are also democratic they possess the same flaw, it's an infinite regression of trying to police democracy with more democracy, the threat of corruption is omnipresent due to the fact that there's no real way to tell if a person is susceptible to bribery until they're in a position where they have to turn down bribes, at which point it's already too late.
I'm not sure what an alternative looks like, except that the wedding of political power with control of industry is a grave mistake that should be avoided at all costs.
Also we have en.wikipedia.org
I don't like how desensitized I am towards CGI by now. First gembutts, now Kotobukis. I actually think those 3D models look appealing.
So what you're saying is that every time the portal opens it connects to another time period?
I still think this show would've been better in full 2D, but I don't mind the CG because everything else in the show is so good.
>would've been better in full 2D
Except aerial combat scenes.
Sometimes nice things happen
Worker unions are unelected bodies with unchecked power over work forces. They are a benign cancer at best and an economic menace at worst. Just look up what happened to unionized car washes in New York City as a quick example.
With enough budget it would've been great, but yeah I concede the dogfights probably never would worked in anything but CG.
And it's post-ww2. Either this guy is a genius or hole opened after ww2 and he got lots of scientific literature.
See
Unions are democratic though, they elect their own leadership. But it's democracy circa mid 19th century where if you don't vote for the front runner you get "mugged" on your way home but instead of rubbing you they just break your knees and then it turns out your disability pay is dependent on you voting for the front runner.
Hey, at least it's not made by Polygon Pictures.
It's an internal election, which means that the public at large has no say. They are rogue elements with selfish, protectionist policies which actively exploit the free market.
You must not know shit about modern American unions then. Corrupt union bosses/leadership are no better than the super rich. The construction industry in major cities is the worse, where you have union leadership advocating policies that support cheap foreign labor, bribery, and sabotage/vandalism of construction sites that don't go with union contractors.
