Oberstein did nothing wrong.

Its because the Empire were in the Right and it showed how, even though both sides had bad points, the Democratic side were unstable and corrupt.

Basically, you can boil it down to that old saying that the world would be best run by a benevolent dictator (which Reinhardt is meant to represent, except not fully.)

I mean for fucks sake look at Phezzan.

The initial leaders of both sides were both pretty bad. You gotta thank Reinhard for making a difference.

I'm watching the gaidens right now and the storytelling gets me more invested in the main characters than the main story did. Was making them separate stories just autism?

Did he dock the Brunhild?

I like LOGH as much as the next user, but cmon the 4th OP is objectively trash

He was promoted because Reinhard has a fetish for red haired men

If you like LotGH, you're probably gay.

Tonight for you I pray to the blightest star on the heavenry scream.

I am at the exact same point but the Empire was right from the beginning. Even with absolute retards running it the (((Alliance))) had always been much worse. Alliance is current America.

What's the watch order again?

wasn't there recently some remake of this? did that turn out allright or what happened

Watch it if you want more. I don't like it as much.

Moive 1&3, OVA, Gaiden, Fanfiction of Kircheis

>Moive 1&3, OVA, Gaiden, Fanfiction of Kircheis

implying there's a movie 2 that should be skipped?

I didn't watch it yet but the watchguide I have followed so far described it as a "bad shoujo fanfiction not relevant to the plot".

>For all its greatness, what does Yea Forums think some of LotGH's flaws are?
The directing/narrative is too dry and not engaging enough
The narrator was mostly unnecessary

They're all good. The only bad part of 4th OP is the vocalist's pronunciation but you can ignore it if you pretend she's not singing in English.

Where are the Alliance's forced labor camps? Where is the Alliance's secret police who read your mail, listen to your phone calls and watch your every move? Where are the Alliance's executions of anybody who dares criticize the government? Empirefags are delusional if they think life in the Alliance was worse for the common citizens than life in the Empire.

Even the worst part of the FPA, the PKC, was actually a bunch of infiltrators from Phezzan instead of being part of the FPA itself.

The endings song by that dude were much superior to the openings by that shrill woman with her broken english.

The ending songs make me stand up and salute my television.

But the openings have different vocalists. I didn't enjoy the endings personally, they remind me of enka.

>forced labour camps
Seemed to be most prominent at the beginning of the Empire. Before Reinharto-sama fucks everything up most people seem to be poor farmers and shit.
>secret police
You get your head kicked in for criticising God Trunith. Besides by the time Yang becomes admiral this shit gets a lot worse whereas the Empires dismantles its Secret Police Bureau (just to rename it later on).

>Alliance executions
Yeah, they just send your fleet to die against the Empire. They burned most of their fleet for nothing.

The Alliance is a corrupt shithole and this gets pointed out since the beginning of the series. The High Coucil even pulled Yang from the frontlines and endangered Alliane space because they feared for their pensions. They are just like the nobles from the Empire.

Oh no, the FPA gave Yang a stern verbal condemnation. Totally equivalent to the Empire approach, which would be either exiling him to a penal colony or torturing him to death.

I see there are some men of taste among the rabble.

lel the Alliance got played by the Empire and Phezzan and was lucky that Kempf is a fucking retard. Great government you got there. Just like the time when the Empire coup'd the Alliance just for the lols.

>Not laying your down heart onto the sea of the stars

Yes, the Empire had more citizens producing more troops to crew more ships. The larger military defeated the smaller military. Big whoop.

But no matter how corrupt politicians like Trunicht became, the citizens of the FPA were still treated better than the citizens of the Empire.

Boot-licking Empirefags only care about space battles, lasers and PEW PEW PEW. They have lost their sense of empathy for their common man, and it matters to them not how the government treats the people.

Basically no other ideologies get explored apart from Monarchy Vs. Republicanism. You could argue that the Terrans are Theocracy, but the series doesn't explore their administration with the same depth.

It always felt to me like the FPA faction revolved around Yang. Whereas the Empire had a variety of characters who each had their own unique relationship with one another. It reminds me of The Sopranos, whereas the FPA's story feels more to me like a traditional "Great Man of History" tale.

Kircheis doesn't get nearly as fleshed out as he should have been. Apart from his romance with Annerose that doesn't really get explored before his death, he isn't really seen doing anything other than carrying out Reinhard's will. It would have been interesting if the series depicted how he felt being second fiddle all the time.

Now comparing it to the Empire: Do we know the food situation over there?

It's not known. But another problem is that the populations seems to be a lot more spread out. Obviously the nobles in the city are not starving. When the Alliance waged a genocidal war against the poor farmers plundering their villages they seems to be doing ok.

>It's not known.
Then what's your point? I'm trying to make direct 1:1 comparisons.

Will the Alliance government kill you if you criticize the Alliance government? No.
Will the Imperial government kill you if you criticize the Imperial government? Yes.

In Gaiden, they explain that being killed by the Imperial government is the common punishment, and merely being imprisoned in a labor camp for the rest of your life happens when you're shown exceptional mercy.

Jessia got killed twice. The point is that the Alliance government offers more freedom but the whole administration and system is utter dog shit and doesn't work out. The Empire's system is autocratic but for the most part the people are doing fine.

I'd rather pick the Empire than the Alliance. And the post civil war Empire is even better

Look mate, that dude is saying he doesn't mind doing exactly as he's told and conforming his views to fit under the thought-police if it means he can live a bit more comfortably. Under those directives he's totally right that the empire is better, so y'all and your differing priorities will have to agree to disagree.

But it's also the same for people in the Alliance. Once someone becomes an oppositional force they are disposed of. The Alliance is pure brainwashing. It's like socialism vs capitalism. In socialism a lot of people see through the propaganda but in capitalism nobody cares as long as there is food on the table. The people in the Alliance get tricked into wars just as easily as the Empire peasants.

>but for the most part the people are doing fine.
Except that they live their entire lives in constant fear of the government, since the secret police is always watching and always willing to arrest you and kill you for nothing.

But what is the bit more comfort that the Empire has but which the Alliance doesn't?

The problem with arguing for the good of the common man is that too many posters don't think of themselves as the common man.

They believe that if truck-kun ever hits them and they get isekai'd into LoGH, they'll be incarnating as a member of the aristocratic nobility. And as for why they aren't already a noble aristocrat in this life, well... It's democracy's fault, somehow.

Could you be any more passive aggressive?
Every single system ever implemented has been for the "Good of the common man".
Delusions that you know better or see the world clearer than others is what leads to Dictatorships and Totalitarianism in the first place.
Please stop advocating for democracy where all man are equal regardless of birth by treating your opponents as someone who is intellectually beneath you because of their views.

Given my luck, If I got isekai'd into LoGH I'd probably have been nuked at Westerland.

I feel like the narrator is there to enhance the sense that this is a story being told from the reference point of the future looking back on a historical sequence of events. It also helps keep track of the passage of time. In the books there is less of a sense of narration so much as it is an occasional reminder that no one could imagine how much worse things would get.

That said, I think the main flaw of the anime is the passage of time can not be intuited easily during a battle. Until I got used to it I was constantly asking myself why it took them so long to react to changes in fortune during battles. Time seemed to speed up or slow down from a narrative standpoint with little explanation.

>making a difference
The dude wanted to keep playing Alexander the Great when he already won when he should have been doing his job as emperor.

>Terrans being cartoon villains in a series that emphasizes nuance
I was actually OK with this because the terraists were fanatic religious zealots who resorted to terrorism once they became weakened by the loss of the Earth base. They had terribly stupid ideas and goals and did horrific things to achieve those goals because they were obsessed with making Earth the center of political power for no reason except for it fitting with their religious beliefs.

Terrans were cartoon villains BECAUSE religious fanatics are cartoon villains.

As an introductory work it serves its purpose. Had it not been for Die Neue These I likely never would have watched the original show. Nor would I have read the books. It skips over a few things I wish it hadn't but so did the original compared to the books. It doesn't individualize some characters hairstyles like the original which was a mistake and probably done to bring it more into the current style. Basically the character design is shit compared to the original. But if it manages to introduce the story to a new generation and even 10% of the new audience goes on to watch the original I say it's worth it. Plus the OP is glorious. Binary Star sums up the entire theme of the show and I didn't fully appreciate it till I watched the original series.

Absolutism can be terrible or great. Democracy is always corrupted

Only the sith deal in absolutes.

NEVER FORGET THE 600 GORILLION ON WESTERLAND

Neither am I the guy you were arguing with nor am I monarchist.
It is not that you advocate for republican democracy, but the way how you advocate for it is hypocritical.
For democracy to work to its fullest potential each and every citizen must be the best they can be, and acting passive aggressive against an opposing view is neither very democratic nor upstanding and acting the victim doesn't help your case either.
it is not the system but the people operating within in it that make or brake it, and for it to work it must cultivate and reward good statesmanship. It doesn't matter if the name of the game is money or your birth, as long as meritocracy is not impeded and "the common man" is heard, the people will be overjoyed with living in the system.
You come of as someone who believes Republican Democracy is more civilized than the "primitive" Monarchism, then act the part of the civilized one in the discussion and not like a colonialist talking down to some backwards tribesmen.

That's pretty absolute statement

pottery

From my point of view, it's the Jedi who are evil.

But even in real life most people are entirely divorced to the political processes. Especially if you're on some backwater, frontier planet far from the capital. Aside from posting on an Rastafarian goatherding forum, how much do you play a part in local and federal politics. The thing is that the majority of humans spent their whole lives accomplishing little (that affects the society outside of their loved ones) just being regular farmers, capenters, mailman, fishermen, etc. Not everyone's going to be a Voltaire, naturally rebelling against the order of things. Most people would be trying to make the best of the situation that they are in: the case in most democracries and autocracies.
That being said I can't say that I would be content not being able too levy any criticism at a government (even in jest) but for someone who is apolitical and couldn't give a fuck who's sitting on the throne/cabinet/parliament/oval office it would be worlds better than living in some FPA ghetto where you have to wait in line for bread and milk.
>"But at least we get a say in who's going to fuck in the ass"

But this comparison relies on the assumption that you won't be living in an Imperial ghetto where you have to wait in line for bread and milk. Does anyone believe that the Empire doesn't have any of those?

I wouldn't say it's superior, but I do think that it's just as good as LoGH

A woman is sentenced to death because a neighbor told the police that she stepped on the Kaiser's portrait.

And she confessed to it.

I do not recall this, and looking over the episode now, I am not finding it. Are you sure?

Yep, it happened, do not remember the episode though. The Secret Police did see through it

You might be thinking of something else.

The full extent of this story is that she's arrested based on the neighbor's report, and the punishment is, of course, torture until death. However, Ulrich Kessler intervenes, and he's able to get her sentence commuted to life imprisonment. There is no confession though.

I've checked it and it's not said, but the way it is shown it is taken as a fact that she did it. It might not be a confession but the point still stands that she committed a crime.
Stepping the portrait is akin to stepping on or burning the flag of a country and is generally consideded a crime.

It makes it worse that they are not official.

They seem to be working fine, the United States is undeniably the current global hegemon, with military presence in more than half of the world's countries and an extreme amount of power.

I'm not sure how you think it is not working when it is doing better than the Empire ever did. Or any other real civilization for that matter.

It has issues certainly, but the United States current situation is "already won the game." Despite how heavily memed it is at times.

Well yeah of course it will fail eventually.

This does not indicate that it is dysfunctional when with its current inroads in Africa it is at the height of its power.

It eventually grows on you

Well If you don't like earth so much then maybe you should go and live elsewhere.

Yeah. The ONE democracy.

>democracy is synonymous with America
Sasuga Treyvon.
Arguing that democracy is good by using the best possible example (modern-day America) is just as flimsy as arguing the opposite because Germany was good under the Second Reich. Hell, why not argue that monarchies are good because it established Rome as the hegemon of antiquity? Or that constitutional monarchy is best because the British created the largest empire known to man?
You also don't take into account countries like: Haiti,Peru, Trinidad, Nigeria, Cameroon, Turkey, Romania, Italy and the phillipines are all democracies, so why don't they see the same level of prosperity?
Must be because TRUE democracy hasn't been tried yet.

Holy fuck did it hit me like a ton of bricks. After finishing I almost started crying. I don't think any anime will come close to making me feel this way again.

Why is Fahrenheit's hair white? Isn't he supposed to be under 30?

How do you think it got that way?

Isn't Yang's hair kind of blue? Why is that?

Rome was established as hegemonic during the mid-late Republican period, and Britain became the worlds largest empire by becoming progressively more democratic.

Also
>Constitutional monarchy isn't just republicanism with more lip service.

If you want actual arguments for authoritarianism you need to talk about China, Imperial Spain, the Ottoman Empire, and the Islamic Caliphates.

I thought blue hair was used as a substitute for black hair in old anime/cartoons

I am scared to start LOGH because it's a bazillion episodes long

Good goy.

>They seem to be working fine

>Largest prison population on earth.

>Has known fewer years of peace than I have been alive.

>Half the population cannot afford healthcare and often die from diseases, the cures for which were developed centuries ago.

>Education system so appallingly bad they do worse than some third-world nations and their universities would have to close if all the rich foreigners left.

>Corporations literally pumping carcinogens into the drinking water.

>Essentially bankrupt since the 30s and has since been on the military-industrial complex life support requiring constant war.

>Current financial situation so tenuous they must destroy entire nations that refuse to sell crude oil in dollars and thus threaten the petro-dollar and is reserve currency status (Iraq, Libya and almost Syria.)

99% of all human progress happened under tyranny. Complaining about the failings of kings is one thing, but to suggest that replacing a monarch with a swarm of oligarchs and plutocrats with the camouflage of suffrage and the convenience of a divided population fighting amongst themselves as any kind of improvement is insanity.

Democracy is a lie.

Worst OP.

Would a system work as proposed in LOTGH where a democracy gets replaced by a dictatorship when changes cannot be agreed upon but democracy itself will come back in power if the individual exerts too much power and becomes corrupt? Or is that just a fantasy

One episode per day, and you'll be done in under 4 months.
