Egao no Daika

The OP was a fag and didn't put the name of the show in the title.

YOU CAN SMILE AGAIN

The ending itself was acceptable since it was the conclusion of a plotline they forced late into the show, the biggest issue is the absolute lack of consequences for something as drastic as erasing the world's entire technology. That in addition to how disappointing the whole rest of the show was as well.

Yea Forums always falls for the speculah hype.

I feel like an idiot for totally missing the mom and daughter connection.

Empire is fucking shit

I've never seen a case like this where everyone picked up an anime for something that was never even hinted at in its premise and spent twelve weeks getting increasingly angry it wasn't completely flipping genres to become the show they imagined. It wasn't anything special, certainly the kind of thing you only watch because it's on that season, but what the fuck. You can't be this starved for Code Geass style trainwrecks.

Well it certainly doesn't help that the empire is complete fucking garbage and somehow the writers think that just because we get episodes from their perspective it somehow justifies how shit they are. So of course people are going to cling on to that small hope that Yuki commits genocide.

This series was meant to be Tatsunoko's 55th anniversary celebration. What a waste, might as well remade Samurai Pizza Cats or something else.

That was the impression I got from the whole show. The creator was trying to tell a very simple story, set in a very complex world. But he willfully kept on blinders on the complex matters.

People were expecting something different, instead of the typical moralfaggotory that ends in friendship and UNDERSTANDING, when Joshua was killed off. Also, I don't blame some of the viewers for thinking the anime would turn Yuki into some kinda cold blooded tactician, after she was shown to use unconventional tactics to get the job done and saying how in war nobody plays by the rules.

I'm glad i only spend less than 1 hours for this shitshow.

This desu. Nice OP pic though.

Pretty sad things turned out this way. Early on this was one of the shows I looked forward to the most week to week.

One good thing, I can think of, that this anime has given me is an exposed back fetish. Every time Hime shows her back, I can't help but want to lick her entire backside and armpits.

>destroy all tech
>nah we can still make cars

like holy shit they talked it up like dooming the world back to the stone age and people everywhere would die. but they needed to do it to prevent the end of the world.

nah its all fine and world peace too. we even have some sort of fuel industry.

armpits, dfc and back lickjob desire is the only thing this show causes me.

They should paraded hime naked with dildo in all her hole. Also let everyone rape her for wasting everyone times.

this sounds like a logical procedure for the empire niggers, not an armistice

Overall, I liked the show, but the ending is really not well done. The final episode should be a powerful explosive visual extravaganza, but it's actually just a rather unspectacular dud. They ought to have had the Buerger squad keep harassing and following Yuuki's convoy nonstop to keep the pressure up for some action scenes.
It's a rather unspectacular ending.

It's the kingdom that should do that. It's time to abdicated her and install republican goverment.

Yeah I knew it was going to be absolute shit when instead of continuing to chase the convoy they stop to set up camp and have yet another SoL moment for the empire faggots.

there is literally nothing redeeming about the empire, not even their SoL moments. They are the biggest waste of time in this show.

>we must not let them escape
>lets them escape

Even the fucking build up with Stella and her mom had zero payoff in the end. It feels like the show was intentionally trying to antagonize the audience.

Director doesn't know the difference between subverting and betraying expectations.

What was Logo's ending anyway? I forgot. All I remember is YAMAIDARE DARLING, DARLING

So, what do we actually Get in the end?

Attached: 15238531203324.png (1100x520, 471K)

To be honest, I chalk it up to simply lack of resources and time for the staff to make the ending satisfying enough.
The finale used some scenes from the penultimate episode to quickly recap the everything again, showing that they couldn't work on enough footage for the show.
The amount of QUALITY, while not as horrible as Yatterman Night, did still increase enough in number to become noticeable even without searching for it, showing that quality control went down and everyone rushed to work on the show's final episodes to get it done.

Perhaps if the show had been a net animation instead of TV animation, things would have been at least improved on some visual levels. As it is, time pressure that forces the staff to deliver the episodes on time will always keep fucking up the last parts of such anime shows.

Not even him at the end, he would have sent all these Empire guys to gulag.

Smiles, we get smiles.

QUALITY doesn't explain the dumb plot points and direction. And no, 2 cours wouldn't have helped since it seems there was never any intention of making Stella relevant in the first place. She's just there for a pointless double heroine gimmick.

I thought they'd throw us a bone with Layla and Stella, but they couldn't even do that.

Plot points and direction in the overall series were fine enough for me, that's why I kept watching the show. I'm just disappointed in the ending simply showing the positive outcome too soon, and lack of action like in the prior episodes.

I'll throw you a bone alright Seriously, what the fuck was up with that. It was the simplest thing not to fuck up and they fucked it up. She may as well shot her in the head as she turned around and went whos that oh well and it would be the same.

I mostly liked the show too, but the ending ruins everything. If they could somehow tie Stella into the main plot it'd retroactively make the empire episodes have some meaning. Right now though, you can remove Stella and her episodes completely and nothing would have changed in the story.

>smiles protected
>faggots seething

Yeah I'm thinking anime is saved.

It was just severely underwhelming that will leave no lasting memory because it felt like nothing happened, Oh some minor characters die whoopy doo.

Stella's decision to push the button along with Yuuki would be fine, if the reason for her doing so were more plausible and she also knew about the terrible things that chrars does to the world, so that Stella is willing to be court-martialed to save the world alongside this enemy princess. Instead, she just does it because the ending needs her to do it, and then the ending shows that she wasn't punished harshly thanks to Yuuki pleading on her behalf, with Yuuki being able to only having to sign an armistice to the Emperor, instead of a complete surrender, as the prior episodes talked about.
There's a complete lack of plausible negative consequences in the finale, which is not consistent with how all the prior episodes were shown.

Try that without a single meme next time.

So in the end, what was the price of smiles?

As a person who liked Delta (because of [gg]) and Aquarion Logon (because of the finale), is it better from the two?
Who am I kidding, I'll fucking watch this. I've watched revisions and I think that has to be the most show of 2019.

Wait: are you telling me that collapse scene was full of QUALITY? How could they let a death scene have QUALITY?

Creators werent seriously expecting anybody to be still watching.

Not even Qualidea gave up that quickly: at least in Qualidea the "death" scenes were properly animated, even if poorly done at times. This one was just lazy.

Can I have a quick rundown?

No. You won't understand unless you watch it yourself.

>>the empire is formed from the remains the previous "empire of verde," you won't learn who they are for 2 episodes after they first become relevant
That is wrong. Verde was just another nation unrelated to Grandiga and Soleil.

What the fuck was wrong with Delta? It was the most enjoyable Macross of them all.

>>the empire is formed from the remains the previous "empire of verde,"
Verde and Grandiga Empires were separate and unrelated. It's unclear what the fuck happened to Verde so they ceased to exist and their lands got abandoned.

>>princess signs an amstrice, unclear if it restores pre-war borders or if the empire controls 75% of the planet now, including the kingdom's former capital
They said people who evacuated Hariant which was Soleil's capital were slowly returning so it seems Empire decided to just return their conquered lands to them for no reason and without demanding any reparations or anything and they now have to ask Soleil nicely to share their records of the early colonists that were stored in the palace archives.

>>everyone smiles

Turns out that the death of the obstructionist Harold was all that Yuuki needed to be able to save not only the world, but Soleil as well. Harold's message that anyone who focuses only on peace will lose everything was wrong.

He wasn't hard enough for the hard sci-fi that the genius Yuuki-sama practiced.

I don't know which one had it worse.
For Egao it all was downhill since episode 3, and ended in the most boring way.
Kado was holding on for much longer and it made shit ending even more devastating.

I guess the message of this show is to have resolve. Yuuki kept being a peacefag no matter how hard reality slapped her in the face, and it magically all worked out in the end.

And the science gets done
And Layla make a neat deus ex machina

For the niggers who are still alive.
And believe me they are still alive.
They're doing cooking and they're still alive.
They feel fantastic and they're still alive.
While everyone around you is dying they're still alive.
And when is everyone is dead they'll be still alive.
Still alive. Still alive.

Fuck you all
It was great

This

Yeah, it's like that. I'd probably be more okay with the final episode if the epilogue after the ED wasn't so cheerful and perfect just a few months after the end of the war.
Yuuki's decision is the right one, no doubts about it. She was willing to become hated for ruining modern civilization by pushing the reset button, and being forced to work extra hard to help people's live improve after the chrars would be shut down in the entire world. After all, Layla warned her that this would happen. Stella warned her that this would happen. The show had the message that growing sunflowers is a difficult ordeal, and that you must keep constant effort to keep everything in balance. That the price of smiles would be high.

But the epilogue then cheapens all that by having the entire world be healed in record time, and no relevant negative outcome was to be feared.

A pity, really.

The biggest fault was that the empire side barely lost people while the kingdom got a very hefty bodycount
The message of "war is bad" would've been better portrayed if both had lost about equal ammount of lives

>flat
>exposed back
>exposed shoulders
>elbow gloves
>twintails
It makes me want to watch it for Hime alone.

>the empire stopping the war just because mechas and tanks stop working, nobody thinks to finish the war through conventional methods like infantry with small arms
>when it's already established that the kingdom was always deeply inferior in numbers and their power was relent on now utterly useless technological superiority
>the empire was on the verge of victory having taken lots of valuable territory including the kingdom's capital
>not merely calling a ceasefire but doing a full white peace returning all territory and returning the enemy leader to power
>all those lives sacrificed for the war effort died in vain
>letting a traitor who could have ended the war in decisive victory but instead consorted with the enemy leader off with only a trivial punishment

fuck me this is beyond retarded. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The happily-ever-after ending is all taking place in Hime's mind as she's being tortured in an Empire dungeon

Seriously though, who thought it was a good idea to have Layla to die in-front of Stella, without Stella even knowing who her mother is?

>Yuuki's decision is the right one, no doubts about it
Not really, its just the egotistical one, as she takes a drastic measure to fix a long term problem by immediately catastrophe.

Its the same shit as Char dropping axis on the earth.

>The message of "war is bad" would've been better portrayed if both had lost about equal ammount of lives
No it didn't really have much of an effect on the message, you're just looking for vindication in wanting more characters dead.

Worse ending then Darling in the FranXX

>the entire ending was Yuki's delusion after she got shot in the head and bled out on the floor

Well, as you can see, that's how forced happy endings can be really bad and unsatisfying.

Yuki goes insane after Joshua's death and the rest of the show takes place inside her delusional mind

How was it a bad decision? Stella was five, she doesn't even remember what her mother looked like. She left her past in the past. Layla did not. She probably was torturing herself over the thought that she didn't try to look for Stella (she saw the records of dead and missing, but not the body), she abandoned her country too. So, of course, when she had the opportunity to protect Stella one final time, she did that. It was for her own peace of mind and had nothing to do with Stella.

>It was for her own peace of mind
well yeah she's dead

It was a solid anime title, quit overreacting.

All in all, it was an okay show. Ending could have been done better. The ending does deliver what we all expected, it's just that it's rather unspectacular production value wise.

Yeah, kind of figured. Would you say you enjoyed discussing though?

Yeah, I liked discussing it and the themes it presented, and speculating about what would be the best way for the characters to behave in such solutions.

I think they got it the wrong way around- Leyla should not have recognized Stella, but Stella should have recognized Leyla.

Virtual-san, Kotobuki, KF2, Neverland, Karakuri Circus, Mahou Shoujo Asuka are all worse and they are airing right now though.

You fags don't even watch kotobuki, I'll murder you

> muh every show with female mc are the same
fuck off incel

But I always watch it with Yea Forums on sundays.

Should Stella really have been able to recognize Layla after 12 years? I mean, she probably was like 5 years or so old when she last saw and remembered her mom, and Stella might actually also have been injured and been cared for in a Grandigan hospital at first, then brought to an orphanage where she spend some time, before she was then assigned to her foster family, being a few years happy there, but then leaving the family after she felt that she was being a burden and trying to find a new home in the military.
Under such considerations, it's seems plausible enough that she doesn't remember or care much about her biological mother anymore. Stella, being an old teenager/very young adult, did put more emphasis on her father figure, Gail Owens, who taught her to be more honest with herself. The now is what ultimately mattered.

>War is bad because it makes people sad
Woah

Layla finding out is pointless because she's dead anyway. So it should have been Stella the one to recognize her mother because that would have influenced her decisions afterwards.

Well yeah, that's a truism. Unless you're of course a weapons dealer who won't ever be affected by the war. Then war is great for you, because it means that you'll profit from it without ever having to pay the price for it in any way.
However, the war in Egao no Daika was one about trying to salvage what remains of the world while racing to one's own annihilation.

Shittiest show in a long time.

To be kinda honest, I'm actually glad that she didn't really recognize her and thus wasn't really influenced by her wish in trying to save the world.
Now, the ending is still rather badly done, and Stella's justification for why to push the button with Yuuki is rather flimsy, but all in all, Stella did so because she believed Yuuki's word and sincerity on her own volition (even if that reasoning is simply "no wars? sounds kinda great, so I'll push the button too"), and not just because her mom told her that she ought to trust Yuuki simply because she's Stella's mom.

>However, the war in Egao no Daika was one about trying to salvage what remains of the world while racing to one's own annihilation.
For the last 3-4 episodes and was resolved by the convenient tower that fixed their problems.

It makes no sense to believe in Yuuki whom Stella knows nothing about. If the writers wanted to go that route, Stella and Yuuki should have met several episodes beforehand and form an understanding based on actually meaningful interaction. Since that didn't happen, having Stella being influenced by her mother was the only thing they could have done that would have made a bit of sense.

All in all, the ending was a complete mess. The writers took all the bad decisions they could possible take and avoided all the possibly good developments. It's almost ridiculous when you think about it.

The only reason they were in this situation to begin with is a massive plot contrivance requiring the colonists to not realize the "unlimited energy" was their own nanomachines.

>they killed the milf
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

Stella sees a young 12 year old girl who has a naive dream about how the world will be a better place when all the chrars are gone, because chrars are bad and the reason why there's a war happening. So in that regard, Stella can most likely assume that Yuuki's wish is sincere, because all in all, Yuuki is still nothing more but a 12 year old girl.
Yuuki's thoughts of
>push button
>kill all the chrars, Grandiga and Soleil as well, despite Soleil literally only hanging on because of chrars against the superior forces of Grandiga
>no more wars
>thus world peace
easy to follow for Stella.
Stella's wish is
>no more wars
>Buerger squad won't have to fight and risk their lives anymore

So then she decides that this is good, and pushes the button as well.
Now, I still wish that there might have been a thirteenth episode to show the repercussion, which would in that case have allowed episode 12 more time for Yuuki and Stella to have an argument about how pushing the button is gonna be good for the world, but things being as tightly produced as they are, we get what we saw.

You do realize turning off electricity leads to genocide? This was monkey paw tier.

Stella herself doesn't really believe killing the chrars would stop the war. Yet, she still ends up doing what Yuuki wants. You may rationalize this however you want but it doesn't make sense.

Well, they forgot that they lived in an environment which is still being constantly maintained by the nanos, but that is something that I could see happen, because nanos are so tiny and thus invisible that nobody would remember about them being around doing their job.

>the two leads, shown together in both the OP and ED, only interacted 5 minutes in the entire series

Stella doesn't believe that killing the chrars would bring everlasting peace. There would and will be some other war in the future for some other reason.
But if you kill all the chrars, then this one war which is about trying to get the enemy's chrar technology, and also their yummy farmlands, would be over for sure, because there would be no more new more efficient chrars to get from the Soleils, and without chrars, they can't maintain their hoverships, hovertanks and hovermechas to keep the supply lines up.

Still, Yuuki ought to have explained to Stella that chrars are killing the world and thus should be killed themselves. Shouldn't have taken too much time for that.

>But if you kill all the chrars, then this one war which is about trying to get the enemy's chrar technology, and also their yummy farmlands, would be over for sure
Sorry but that doesn't make any sense. Even without they chrars they would have kept fighting with their fire arms. Even if they didn't have those, they would fight with swords and knives. Wars don't end that easily once they get rolling.

Eh, an army can only fight if they have something to eat, and without vehicles to bring them food, there's gonna be a lot of time to first find out how to secure food.
If my war machine were to suddenly power down, the first thing I'd do is try to get to my buddies to be safe and to get new orders. They Grandigan soldiers wouldn't be able to coordinate and ask for directions while within their now useless mechas, especially if they're perhaps tired, wounded, and disoriented after several hours of fighting.
Neither would the Soleils, of course, after their mechas and hoverships were rendered inoperational. The Soleils managed to drag out that final ultimate battle of ultimate destiny for hours by not taking the Grandigans head on.

It would happen. People wouldn't easily make peace with those who killed their families and friends.

The empire would keep fighting to keep the fertil land they conquered since their land in unfertil and they're already starving in the mother land, and the kingdom would fight to defend themselves and for revenge. The war would not stop if this shit made any sense.

The kingdom should've researched building a clone army of her and brother instead of some faggot lettuce. Preferably just clone her because she's cuter. They could've won the war easily.

>most fun thing of the show remains the scene where Yuki and Joshua outplay the twins
Man I didnt expect the show to peak in ep 1.

I have no idea why Joshua was killed off, he was the guy you wanted to root for. There's a reason why characters like him don't get killed off early, at least not without a replacement.

I wish she was nanos

Really disappointed she never died.
You guys ever wonder how Yuuki and Stella would have ended up if Stellas most important person was taken away by the Kingdom?

Stella's most important person was team dad Gail Owens.

Sure. But not during this specific battle, where all communication and high tech weapon has broken down. In that situation, it's wise to first simply regroup and to find out what to do next.

I literally forgot I was watching this when it aired
Did it get really very good? I don't know why but I remember it got 20+ episodes

That's what threw me. I thought that if the writers were willing to go that far they must have something good planned. No, it turns out they were just useless.

Yeah, instead she did it because the person that for some reason saved her life told her to help Yuuki. So much better.

It's not that bad. The worst thing is, that second "lead" wasn't relevant to the story in any way. You could remove her and pretty much nothing would change. Now that's the real fuck up.

Director says it's for "realism" because anyone can die in a war at any time. Yep, you heard it right, he was aiming for realism and hard sci-fi in this show. And that's also why it's unpopular, because anime fans don't like those things according to him.

There was literally no point to Stella or her side as no matter how they tried it did not portray both sides as equal participants of the war or make them sympathetic
The Director himself even stated he knew it was going to be shit.

it's garbage, worse than Egao

The threads were terrible. We had a certain martian from Madoka/Gridman threads in them. It was just him and a contrarian leading the conversation in circles in their defense of the Empire.

The threads were only really good for the first 3 episodes or so.
Then the anime got stale and so did the threads.
Even the guys pretending to be Empireniggers to force the factionwars didnt have the power to continue the circle jerk all the way to the end.

No the writers handwaved it as everything was suddenly alright. They used the magic rocks for literally everything but suddenly they have a new unexplained powersource at the ready for the entire world. Also no one starves or freezes when both lands were dying, and it was winter, and the nanomachines aren't an instant fix.

Ironic kingdomniggers were just pretending to be outraged for the sake of keeping the threads alive.

The real question is how one empire managed to get an order of magnitude more guns and men than the only other existing empire on the planet. A war should have happened ages ago.

Basically Kingdom played tall science turtle while Empire went wide warmongerer.

Eh, who cares if the nips don't like it or not? Nobody really bothered trying to make this show a big financial success anyway. There was no serious attempts at trying to make any interesting merchandise, no BD covers were prepared despite the show being already 2 months in airing, the main website didn't receive any updates except for episode synopses, this show was always just going to get 12 episodes, and it was another original anime mecha show.

I was just shitposting about loli hitler genocide stuff. I never really expected it to go off the rails or anything. Regardless, the show never actually did anything interesting with its setting which I found very disappointing. It easily could have been a solid war story with decent tactics and battles instead of the retarded shit we got.

Glasslip /m/ edition

For every level 4 giant death robot on the side of Soleil, the Grandigan Empire had five or six level 1 or 2 giant death robots. And the Grandigan player was better.

So Stella's original name was "Star Star".

No. Delta was perfectly fine in the first cour while this shitshow got boring around the third one.
Delta's characters were also underdeveloped but likeable, the only character I liked here was Leyla and her existence was pointless.

I hate the font they use in this world. It looks like shit.

>for the sake of the future
That's the thing, they just dropped the whole environmentalism thing in the last two episodes and Yuuki now wants to stop the chrars to stop all wars, like that even makes any fucking sense at all. The last time she brought up them being bad for the planet was when she was meekly opposing the increased new chrar production that Harold started. It's like they realized that they can't fit in her or Layla explaining to Stella the damage that chrars cause and make her cooperate because they have wasted time on empire niggers cooking episodes, so now they have to force UNDERSTANDING through some dumb emotional bullshit about making everyone egao just because.

It's actually possible that Stella's first name isn't really Stella.

Most shows allow you to finish your dying words, not this one.

Attached: Im not done talking.jpg (1280x720, 157K)

The story is just hopelessly fucked up. So much of the action is implied or happens off screen that it's impossible for the audience to care about the supposed hundreds of thousands of dead grunts. Instead we're stuck following around Stella and Yuuki, whose arcs don't intersect at all until the final episode. There's nothing to get emotionally invested in.

From the list of people presumed dead we see two people with her surname and it seems neither of them were named Stella. Either she had a memory loss from being wanked in the head, or her new parents were really abusive dicks and changed her name.

Harold was just a toxic male obstructionist. His death was the best thing that could have happened for both Soleil and Grandiga. Yuuki managed to save the world and Soleil by going full peace mode, and the Grandigan Empire profited from it by having usable soil again in their homelands, and no need to maintain an expensive military to oppress the population.

Yes, yes, we get it. You want Harold's dick badly, faggot, but that's not what we're talking about.

You'll just have to accept that everything bad, wrong, and shit about Soleil was Harold's fault.

Man imagine all those SEETHING stinkyegaos who went all in buying EGAO at ath and now lost everything last minute billions of free EGAO airdrops for everybody.

Lily thrives under the new situation. All chrars were killed, so now the nanos are thriving again. That proves that Lily was nano desu.

You're missing the point, we're repeatedly told that Soleil are super outnumbered but that they're high tech mechs allow them to stay afloat and even stabilize once hime gets the helm
Buerger squad are all literal whos except Buerger himself and they regularly defeat equal size squads of super mechs taking no damage
Hell buerger himself traded 1 to 1 with the soleil war hero piloting a super mech
With the exception of Stella they had no personality, basically designed for death, and lost 2 guys, 1 to a suprise attack on a medevac that was basically dropped as a plot point

Buerger squad's commanding leader was Gail Owens, not some dude named Buerger.
>then why is Buerger squad called Buerger squad?
Perhaps the commanding officer of the squad during the siege of Grad was some person named Buerger. Owens came in as a replacement.

How do disasters like this even happen? Even the tiniest amount of quality control should have prevented it.

You guys are fucking stupid for not realizing this was going to suck after episode 2. I have no pity.

You're dead Joshua

Realism? The entire main squad of the Empire should have died FIVE TIMES. Yeah, I counted.
You shoot a Kingdom mech is blows up immediately, but if you shoot an Empire mech it only loses an arm, shots a while then just stops. Fuck, when Harold died, his super-special mech exploded immediately but the empire commander still had time to do a pep talk before blowing up. The fuck?

>Realism? The entire main squad of the Empire should have died FIVE TIMES. Yeah, I counted.
I'm sure you weren't biased at all

>You shoot a Kingdom mech is blows up immediately, but if you shoot an Empire mech it only loses an arm
I can't think of a major character from the kingdom side who died because their mech exploded.

>Fuck, when Harold died, his super-special mech exploded immediately but the empire commander still had time to do a pep talk before blowing up. The fuck?
Harold's mech didn't explode, it looked like it from the Kingdom pov, but in the empire episode Owens was seriously injured but couldn't get help because his mech was about to explode and the explosion was revealed to be Owens' mech

Later on the Grandigan squad was peeved about Owens not getting a funeral and mentioned there wasn't anything left of Owens body.

Yes.

they even bothered with a manga? wow

>Vtuber exists
>Kemono friends 2 exists

After reading this thread, I'm glad I missed the previous threads throughout the season. Most of you niggers were too stupid to understand basic story points despite the show beating the audience over the head with them constantly, and get upset that it wasn't edgelordery for the sake of edgelordery.

Stella was the core of the story. The Soleil side set the stage, explained the setting, and pleased the dick. That's why they made one of their two biggest mistakes, giving the imperials too much plot armor. They put the main protagonist team on the enemy side instead of on the conventional heroic side. That lead to a climax where Stella got sick of her side's shit and decided to take her friends and go home.

The other big mistake was rushing and only briefly mentioning major things instead of showing them in detail.

When the power goes out in Japan, they pull together as a community to survive instead of killing each other, like the ending showed. It's not like America with looting and killing to Mad Max levels; such chaos requires lacking a sense of unity/community in addition to resource shortages. That's why unrest was in the empire, forcing them to recall their soldiers to protect their government. They lost their weapons and logistics, so the imperials would've been sitting ducks for guerrillas in occupied territory. Furthermore, the explosion in plant life solved their starvation problem, so building domestic infrastructure became more profitable than occupying territory.

I do find it funny how some anons still keep trying to portray the death of Joshua being a mistake, when his death was in fact that one thing that made the anime worth watching compared to all the myriad of other mecha shows featuring a hypercompetent superace in a customized superprototype saving the entire world all by himself.

Nah they probably just turned on the electric backup power generators they had all the time but never said a word about.

>Stella was the core of the story.
Except it's stated by the show itself that there are two protagonists so Yuuki is the core of the story too. And her story is much more elaborate and interesting. Stella doesn't matter at all for the overall grand story. You can remove her completely and nothing would change.
>b-but the show was about her development
Even if that was true her development is basically
>I've found my place, killing little girls and blowing up food plants with my bros is fun
>oh shit, seems like we can die too, maybe it's not such a good place after all
>nevermind, we'll all survive, engage the plot armor and charge
>a magic protect all smiles button? that's bullshit but I believe it
The rest of her screen time is them killing Kingdom mooks and cooking.

>That lead to a climax where Stella got sick of her side's shit and decided to take her friends and go home.
When was that? That never happened. She's a murder drone obeying orders until the very end when the princess convinces her to disobey the orders by crying about egao.

>When the power goes out in Japan, they pull together as a community to survive instead of killing each other, like the ending showed.
Except Japanese anons were picturing apocalyptic scenarios saying it should turn into a Hokuto no Ken tier world and complained about the bullshit unrealistic happy ending too. I guess they are all Koreans or something.

The price of smiles was the fear and the unwillingness to let go of old behavior.

This must be an elaborate bait to keep the thread alive, but I'll bite.
>The whole point of the overall grand story was her choice at the end.
What choice? To not shoot the princess who did all the work and all sacrifices to reach that point? Yuuki's reasoning wasn't even convincing or rational in any way and Stella should have stopped her if the full retard plot wasn't demanding her to cooperate instead.

>OK, you didn't even watch the last episode. Stopped reading here.
They got the orders to stop the princess at any cost, even if they die and guess what? They charged at full speed at elite order pilots trying to stop the princess. Meanwhile Stella was thinking about Eine's orders thinking that machine is going to stop the Empire's chrars and Yuuki wants to defeat them that way. Yep, surely Stella decided to take her team and go home and not to follow the orders.

>Stella should have stopped her if the full retard plot wasn't demanding her to cooperate instead.
You failed to watch the rest of the series too, since about half of it was dedicated to explaining why she did that. Her reasoning (not Yuki's, and the fact that it's not Yuki's is a key point) makes perfect sense if you pay any attention to anything.

>the princess who did all the work
The only thing she was needed for on a plot mechanics level was the idea of shutting down all the chrars, and Verde thought of that already.

>They charged at full speed at elite order pilots trying to stop the princess. Meanwhile Stella was thinking about Eine's orders thinking that machine is going to stop the Empire's chrars and Yuuki wants to defeat them that way. Yep, surely Stella decided to take her team and go home and not to follow the orders.
You just admitted in the same post that Stella cooperated with Yuki instead of stopping her. It's bad enough that you get the events in the show wrong, but you can't even agree with yourself. 2/10, see you tomorrow.

>makes perfect sense
Okay, please explain it so that even retards like us could understand. Should be easy enough for such an intelligent and attentive viewer such as yourself.

>The only thing she was needed for on a plot mechanics level was the idea of shutting down all the chrars, and Verde thought of that already.
She and other characters on her side made the country last long enough, uncovered the chrar research that the Empire was hiding, developed new chrars necessary to shut down all chrars and actually proceeded to do it. Stella did... obey her orders until the very end with no agency or plot relevance on her own.

>You just admitted in the same post that Stella cooperated with Yuki instead of stopping her
Except she didn't do it because she "got sick of her side's shit" she did it for a chance to make a world where her friends won't have to fight and die, like that even makes sense, considering what kind of nightmare they should have unleashed on them. The easier and more rational choice for her would be to shoot the princess and end the war right there so her friends wouldn't have to fight anymore, like some user theorized before. Especially considering that she doesn't even know about the environmental damage that chrars cause.

So Joshua is coming back for season 2 right?

Wait who killed Pierce, that wheelchair bound empire soldier?

>The easier and more rational choice for her would be to shoot the princess and end the war right there so her friends wouldn't have to fight anymore
Actually, if the goal is to end the war so that her friends wouldn't have to fight anymore, then pushing the button would indeed achieve that goal, because without chrars, the Imperial Army has to abandon the subjugation campaign, regroup and reorganize.
The question is however how much Stella could trust the words of Yuuki that the chrar disabling tower really affects ALL the chrars in the world, or if it only targets Grandigan type chrars.
The finale didn't exactly give time for Stella to perhaps ponder that Yuuki is sincere and was the one who warned the Grandigan forces at the battle in episode 6 to please retreat as she would cause a bombardment to split up the armies, or that she cared about the sunflowers, or that she's a peace proponent. That is a fault of the episode not allocating enough time to make Stella reflect on such facts.

Unknown, and it will most likely remain so. But it was either Soleil guerillas or anti-establishment Grandigan rebels.

Realistically, Stella would have pistol whipped Yuki and captured her. Fastest way to definitively end the fighting.

Pushing the button in a non-egao powered ideal world would lead to complete chaos and struggle for survival and she and her friends would be forced to participate anyway. In the first place, they are stranded in bumfuck nowhere without being able to get orders, transportation or something to eat.

Fortunately, the nanodesu healed the world so quickly, the Empire could now reuse all its soldiers as farmers.
But yeah, I'm not really happy about the epilogue showing the positive outcome of the button push so soon. Oh well, since there's no further demand for any continuation of the show, they can simply end it on a fairy tale-esque
>and they lived happily ever after

>fossil fuel
What fossil fuel, this was a mars-tier shithole before getting nanomachined. There's also no fucking way they have coal.

After the smile button was pressed, I wonder how many mechs fell face forward, trapping the pilots in the cockpit to either starve or suffocate to death?

They probably burned wood and used synthetic oil for now. We do know that they had to use something else before chrars were used.

Yeah, but Stella doesn't know any of that. Hell, she doesn't even know about the existence of nano and that chrars are causing their desu. For her the choice between autistic childish ramblings of an enemy princess and realistic possibility to end the war should be obvious.

Everything was diejoubu. Even the guys that fought while hovering over a lake didn't drown and their cockpits opened automatically.

I agree that it's not shown well at all and the execution mostly sucks, but the basic idea is clear. Had the final episode been better paced, Yuuki could and would have given a short summary to Stella about why chrars are bad, and then Stella could still decide if she should help push the button or not, and we all know that in the end, pushing the button is always the best choice.

>electric backup power generators
Yeah, but it was never mentioned or shown, once, until the end, that they had some other form of electricity or energy. It was just chrars this and chrars that. I'm inclined to believe their life support systems have back-up power, but still use chrars as a source, and since Yuki and Stella wiped out chrar use, there were surely a lot of dead patients from the hospitals whose life support had no means of power.

Eh, surely there would be batteries that do have energy reserves stored for crucial situations. In the time that society has to find alternative energy means (or rather, quickly go back to what they used prior to chrars), they should have managed to save enough patients.
And if not, then the fault lies solely on the hospital management for not having adequate response measures in the first place.

The truck has an exhaust pipe, as shown here.

Yeah, hospitals should always prepare some wood burning stoves in case some lunatic loli decides to shut down all nuclear energy in the whole world by pressing a magic button.

You know, I doubt their medical care would even be that good. They fucking let Joshua die with a wound that could've easily been patched up

In that situation, that is understandable, though, since they were stuck in a five day long siege, and the Soleils had to flee with their tails between their legs.

>show ends
>random Yea Forumsnons still putting more thought into it than the creators ever did

That's not the point. Either there's fossil/whatever fuel in which case they can start fighting again soon, or there isn't and then they are fucked and have to start fighting for survival instead.

Yea Forumsutism at its finest.

In order to avoid another war for resources, it would be best to keep open dialogue channels between the nations, have integrative trade, and if necessary exchange help.

The Leash incident where the Empire and the Kingdom ceased all communication together after the blame game started for who is responsible or not was definitely to the utter detriment of Soleil, as without any diplomatic representation conducting intelligence gathering and overseeing the situation in Grandiga, they were absolutely unprepared for Grandiga's military mobilization against Soleil.

How can there be fossil fuel if the planet is a terraformed hunk of rock without any million year old dinosaurs to turn into oil? Checkmate, athiests.

That kinda proves that old grandigan chrars and new soleil superchrars were the devil's ultimate toxic poisoned shitcandy full of vileness and treachery.

So hopefully in the next season we will see Yuki develop the Sunflower economy to the point where the Kingdom gets a stranglehold on trade so she can execute her long term plan of genocide by commerce upon the Empire.
Heil Soleil.

She's a princess, she has more important things to do than some trade wars. Like playing with little kids, while adults make the important decisions about not sharing the old tech with Empire. If a war breaks out, she can lead them again and make sure not to kill enemies.

It was all worth it for the smiles.

Wew that last episode was bad.

Or that the show makes little sense?

Hime saves the day!

It's just the epilogue, brah. Show is over, so let's just give everyone a happy end.

They should have set up the show for a happy ending, as it was it just felt incongruous with the rest of the show.

How bad did it get?
Dropped in the middle of episode 1 where one man started greeting his friend with info dump of their common history.

Totally agree, which is why I ultimately didn't like the finale. Also, for being the finale, it lacked some high power action scenes where the staff could have shown more dramatic fighting.
But eh, that's just the risk that one has to accept for TV anime that airs as a program on a tight schedule.

Next epsiode stereotypical mc dies of a minor wound because he couldn't get care.

After that it starts switching focus every episode between a squad from the empire containing the second mc and the princess.

Kingdom starts losing badly plugs in magic crystals they continue losing, but not as badly.

Every major battle starts out as the kingdom entrenches itself in natural boundaries and empire always hits it straight on. Princess's advisors start dying.

Kingdom keeps on retreating while evacuating they discover their magic crystals suck power from nanomachines that sustain the environment.

They go to a tower that another civilization set up and shut down all the crystals. Then there is a happy ending.

Could be worse, I guess.

Didn't ZA FOORU also have some environmental message bs thrown in the last episodes about the rocks powering their mechs actualling killing the trees or something? It's been a while since I watched it.

>myriad of other mecha shows featuring a hypercompetent superace in a customized superprototype saving the entire world all by himself
That would have been better than what we actually got.

Nah. If you wanna watch those kind of mecha series with stereotypical ace pilots saving the day all by themselves, you can just watch the original, aka, the various Gundam shows.
People ultimately watched and kept watching this show because it thankfully is not just a different looking Gundam show.

Just because it's different doesn't mean its good. A solid, typical mecha show would have been 20x more enjoyable than this.

>People ultimately watched and kept watching this show
Was for lolihime's delicious exposed back. It had nothing to do with the quality of the writing which was generally abysmal.

This show was great and your all just jealous.

If people want a solid typical mecha show, then they're free to watch them. They're after all available everywhere. It just happens that they're always ace pilots saving the day.

I dropped this halfway through, what happened at the end to make everyone mad?

>They're after all available everywhere
The really aren't though. It's a dying genre.

Just go to /m/ and ask for links or names towards all the stereotypical ace pilots saving the day mecha shows. And we all know that the upcoming mecha anime shows will still feature ace pilots in ace customs saving the day singlehandedly.

Did /m/ hurt you are something? You sure are showing a lot of animosity towards mecha. Regardless, that doesn't make Egao no Daika any good.

I do like mecha shows. I just don't want standard ace pilots in ace customs singlehandedly saving the day series, because I've seen more than enough of them. That is why I like Egao no Daika, for being different. You also liked it enough, or else you wouldn't have stuck with it for three months. But if you really want another ace pilot in an ace custom show, then you should honestly go ask /m/, because they do know about a plethora of such shows.

>That is why I like Egao no Daika, for being different
Yeah instead of a typical hero saving the day, you got a bunch of asspulls saving the day. Thank you Egao no Daika for being so different and forward thinking.

>You also liked it enough, or else you wouldn't have stuck with it for three months.
Only for the threads/speculation. This isn't the worst show I've ever bothered to sit all the way through (there's plenty worse out there), but I certainly will never watch it again.

All action shows will always feature contrived coincidences
