What was his problem?

What was his problem?

Nothing. He did nothing wrong. He was 100% right about Kircheis.

He literally did nothing wrong.

Based.

Oberstein was a fag.

I will never ever be convinced of this dumb shit when Westerland exists. His justification for allowing the Westerland massacre was insane schizo psychopath shit.

No it wasn't. 2 million people died on Westerland and it being publicized instantly cost the high nobles every last shred of support they had from anyone. Every single commoner was against them, all of their territories flipped to the Reinhard faction, and they faced constant desertion, sabotage and treachery in the few strongholds they had left. Every serious battle in the series has casualties of at least 1 million, and that total collapse of their power base made the civil war end many, many battles sooner.

Yeah except the people who die in the battles are soldiers. They go out every day knowing that there's a chance they can die and they put their lives on the line for the leader they believe in. The citizens of westerland were just regular people who were living their lives. No matter how good it'd be strategically, civilians are not sacrifices, and it was Reinhard's job as someone who wanted to rule to protect them. There could've been a button on westerland that wok him the war instantly and could only be pushed if we nuked westerland with everyone on it, and it'd still be fucked to nuke them.

Go back to Anon Babble

You're acting like they're the ones who nuked westerland, it was enemy territory and the nobles nuked it themselves because they're insane retards.

I often think about the ending of this show how it rivals the greatest of literature and resonates with how pointless and small we are. First of all, there are no clear winners or loser. Second, both behemoths and the equally important side characters are dead or moving on, no one was saved, not even the greatest of greats is spared by the universe. Third, the almost unremarkable little family moment and its insignificance although his child being the world to him.

It encapsulates the human condition in such a poignant, simple way. Its really sobering. Hilariously enough, only Attack on Titan credit ending comes close. Saying the same from a different angle.

-The writers of the show he was in didn't realise space is 3 dimensional. And so all the space ship battles are planned by the commanders as if they are in boats floating on water.
-Shounen tropes were rife within the show, the 2 main characters have wacky hairstyles to make them stand out. They are also 12 years old and somehow more intelligent than the rest of the governments and military combined.
-The animation on the show was pretty bad. Not berserk 97 bad but still, bad.
-The political themes were extremely heavy handed

For an anime, it's a good show. For an anime.

how it rivals the greatest of literature

haha now THAT'S ironic shitposting.

I will never ever be convinced of this dumb shit when Westerland exists.

Great, you're convinced then.

only Attack on Titan credit ending comes close

You fumbled at the last part, they're not comparable. As Jean cucked eren and married Mikasa.

I'll give Reinhard, he does fit into the anime prodigy trope I suppose, but Yang was like 30 when the show started lmao. It makes perfect sense that he was as smart as he was, especially given the people he surrounded himself with and how much he learned from history.

Im talking credits ending, sweetie. The anime ending was utter dogshit, but the credits time jumps of endless war and the somber song lyrics and neverendign cycle? Perfection.

I just finished watching this show, the new animated one looks retarded though, so I don't think I'll watch that one.

everyone ignores the earth plot

lol

the 2 main characters have wacky hairstyles to make them stand out.

No they don't.

They are also 12 years old and somehow more intelligent than the rest of the governments and military combined.

One is 20, the other is in his 30s.

If Yang at the beginning of the series was given a button, to make the world how it is at the very end of the show (Earth cult destroyed, Empire without a leader, looking like a proper democracy will take the reins) except everyone who died from episode 1 to the end of the show with the exception of himself dies a gruesome painful death once he presses it, or if he doesn't press it, he retires from the military in episode 1, and lives out the rest of his days with Julian, neither of them to have any impact politically or militarily, do you think he would press it?

He obviously wouldn't press it because he doesn't have the authority to press it, he would let Trunicht press the button to kill every single human being for no reason instead.

no, he constantly rejects offers to take power even when it makes sense to do so

tranime

he retires. because he said history is a cycle of war or something like that.

He's me

Youre an incel?

He was wrong about Kircheis and fundamentally a hypocrite in that Oberstein's justifications for carrying water for Reinhard are the same reason's he should have had no problems with Kircheis.

f Only Siegfried Kircheis Was Here...

I don't know what's hypocritical about trying to avoid Kircheis going completely unchecked since his reasoning for that is that history is filled to bursting with trusted second in commands turning on the glorious leader. Most of his actions are an attempt to avoid their admiral led military junta headed by a charismatic leader splitting up in to factions of squabbling warlords since that's what happens to like 90% of those.

Which subtitles are better?
