Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://9anime.to/ and https://4anime.to/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
I'm starting to slowly work my way through the Legend of the Galactic Heroes and this show goes so hard.
Yang hates his fucking job. He gets a half-assed promotion and is expected to work miracles.
The liberal democracy faction in the war has a fascist paramilitary at the president's command lmao
Space anime for history dads - such a mood.
The animation is gorgeous, too.
I'm sure I'll be sick of this shit after 100 episodes of it, but I'm living for it now lol.
I was having such a hard time putting a name to the style of history they were doing. Is that really the name for it? It really is aggravating in the show and so lazily explained why all events depend on like two people.
The main styles I pick up are Great Man Theory (history is pushed by those who are born great) and Whig History (liberal democracy is the inevitable outcome of civilization).
If you were hoping for systems based explanations, those go against the ideology of GMT & Whig history
Also if that annoys you then imagine this, Whig history is the primary lens the Anglo-sphere teaches/uses (hence the whole end of history comment)
I believe so, but I don't have any academic experience in history so take that with a grain of salt.
It's aggravating to me when people do it with modern and contemporary history. I think I have a bit more tolerance when it has fantasy elements or enough focus on the melodrama.
I'll probably be sick of LotGH after dozens of episodes, but I'm hopeful that I'll enjoy it enough stretched out over a year or two lol
ideology aside there was only one thing I found really annoying
mild spoiler
If only Kircheis was hereI stg that becomes the catchphrase for the second half of the show. If all these inbred Prussian fucks would fucking eat a slice of humble pie and stop worrying about their useless pride so much melodrama and death would be avoided.
