This turned into shit pretty quickly. I thought it was decent until around ep20. Then they started to rush things, jumped from one arc to the next without a real conclusion. Like having a full on war at the end of one episode and in the next the narrator tells you it's over. What the heck? Noloty and her story with the boy was really annoying. I dislike characters like her. In general the pacing is so fast right now that the whole plot becomes an incoherent piece of shit. I can't keep up with all the turns of events because there are so many flashbacks as well and new, apparently important, characters thrown into the mix before they die in the very same episode. It's kind of ridiculous to have some super bad guy appearing and everyone is saying his name, yet the viewer has never or barely heared of it before. Then he gets a bunch of flashbacks that try to establish some backround but fail to do it properly and then the character just gets killed before you start to care. Right now I'm glad that there are only 3 eps left. Kind want to see what story they have in mind for Hamyuts. Although I'm not holding my breath considering the general level of writing presented in the recent episodes. /+ Show Spoiler [The End] + That was absolutely terrible. Basically the epitome of lazy writing. Just add a bunch of special powers that were never mentioned before, even though it has been established that each person can only have one power. Then you bring back everyone dead for some "epic" friendship is love, friendship is life fight. Not sure what to watch next. Here is a list of what I have downloaded on my laptop: - Boogiepop - Kaiji s1 - Haibane Renmei - Kyousou Giga (the 10 eps one) - Michiko to Hatchin - RahXephon (somehow missing ep1...would have to grab that somewhere) - Shigofumi - Wolfsrain - xxxHolic s1 What do you guys think? | ||

Haibane was alright. Some people swear by it. Kaiji is arguably one of the two best Fukumoto gambling series. | ||

Doesn't help that its setting is based off of Haruki Murakami's Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, which I thought was a pretty bad book.

Probably going to watch Kaiji then. I'm not into gambling but if it's done well I will probably enjoying it regardless. Thanks for the input! I really want to watch RahXephon for some reason but atm. I have next to no means to get my hands on ep1. | ||

Iirc znf once said RahXephon is really underrated because it was shadowed by the sheer popularity of Evangelion. And when it comes to sci-fi stuff I can usually trust znf's opinion. I think I haven't been disappointed by any of his sci-fi suggestions yet. Speaking of Evangelion, I just realised I only watched the first two episodes and didn't continue for some reason, lol. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Sieg dying was really sad He was one of my favourites because he seemed to always be calm, collected and stuck to his roots. He also was such a close friend to Reinhard who I was hoping will stick to his own roots. Westerland was a sad incident. I was hoping that Reinhardt would actually give Oberstein a punishment but he let it slide. On the bright side, at least he seems to be giving more thoughts compared to before now that Sieg is dead and he can't see his sister. As for other favourites, honestly, I like most of the characters. Mittenmeyer's loyalty and him keeping his troops on the rope is something I really like. I also like Reunteual. I was a bit disappointed in Yang when he started but now that he's actually putting some effort, it's great. Reminded me a bit of Tytania's Fan Hyulick at the beginning though Fan ran all over while Yang was more limited by his position and still is to a degree. Also, Fan did squat in comparison rofl. Yang actually fought lots of interesting battles. I would say the one thing that is disappointing about this anime so far is that Yang is able to predict everything that Reinhardt is throwing at them but can't react due to the government and politics. They are nerfing him heavily and in a way, it makes Reinhardt's gains feel undeserved despite him being called a genius in politics and war. Yes, it's the current situation and it's not Reinhardt's fault either. For the record, just finished the episode where they capture Pheezan. My hope is that they both survive and eventually establish some kind of peace to finish the series off. | ||

It can be quite annoying at times but it's part of the whole thing. It's quite realistic as well because politicians and bureaucrats can be annoying and counterproductive like that. It also really shows the difference in position between Reinhard and Yang. Reinhard is his own boss while Yang has to adhere to what his superiors' orders. You are past the passing stage imho, it's only going to get better from now on (at least for most of the show). | ||

I realize it's political, just makes it a "what if" scenario and kinda feels like all the achievements against the alliance were due to this nerfing lol. It also feels a bit much that he can predict everything planned. I mean, was there even anything that surprised him aside from maybe when the Kaiser was kidnapped? Passing stage? I keep thinking that we'll lose a lot more of the characters on the empire side due to their abundance. I'm at the part where the battle involving both fleets should take effect (Julian just escaped and stole a destroyer lol). Also, it is a bit annoying that Julian is essentially mini-Yang or it seems that the show is trying to make him be. Just leave him be himself with good moments. I do hope that this upcoming engagement doesn't end up in Reinhardt actually surrendering or something stupid, would be pissed. No matter how much tactics or strategies you do, if the opposing fighter is as good with 3 times the amount of ships etc... logic dictates that he should be able to win or at least not lose lol. | ||

I mean a huge theme of the series is literally the problems and strengths of both democracy and autocracy Democracy happens to be ruined by greedy and shitty politicians while autocracy with a perfect leader is incredibly effective at rapid responses and rapid change, it shows the worst of democracy and the best of autocracy which results in a situation in which yang's hands are often bound both by himself but also by the very thing he's fighting to protect. | ||

Pretty divided and nobody can really agree on what they think relative to Evangelion, though I must admit I think the reaction to RahXephon is almost completely related to how people perceived Evangelion. Very few times do people actually treat RahXephon on its own, which I guess is kind of unfair.I've heard the opposite opinion. That Rahxephon does what Evangelion tried to do better without all the pretentious bullshit. I can't recall honestly. Also I don't know where Miragee got my opinion on RahXephon from. I actually haven't watched it, but I mean the sentiment is probably true regardless I think. I've heard it's good and I want to watch it....eventually.

That in itself shows the differences. While theoretically Yang could be the better tactician, that's not all there is to it when it comes to being a leader and fighting a War, and Reinhard's success illustrates that. Essentially it comes down to the difference of tactics vs strategy, and the ability to execute each that sets them apart. Its simply a difference between the character of Yang and Reinhard, along with the situation they each find themselves in, and is essentially the main point of the show. | ||
