I don't know whether to call it selfless or selfish. Yang's rebellion that is. Seeing as he could live under Reinhard's rule until the end of his lifetime in relative peace, despite his predictions, he did not have to go through with it (if we don't include the Government's paranoia.) So, was it liberation for future generations, or something he deeply believed in and would fight for it? Remember that Yang detests taking lives, so would he do it for a idealistic cause?

 

Perhaps it was a bit of both, which is what I like to believe. Nobody is completely 100% and Yang is no exception.

 

But yes, he's right on the money there, which is why I lean more towards Yang. Reinhard's policy is great and all, but few men could have the power Reinhard wields and not be corrupted by it.

 

There was at least ONE occasion where Yang would've won, and it's there where his flaw stands out the most. That battle where he could have destroyed everything that kept the Empire together in a single blow.

 

But during that battle, I think, even having beaten Reinhard (if he had gone with it) the Empire as Reinhard wanted it would not simply collapse (since Reinhard made it a point to surround himself with competent men) and Yang was thick in it. He would've died methinks, if he had not withdrawn, but it was not the reason Yang did it in the first place.

 

 

 

 

WATCH LOTGH FIRST!

 

@Blackhaired Loli with Red and Gold Eye.

 

I see her pop up a lot, who is she?

 

 

Kurumi from Date A Live.

 

EDIT: Ninja'd.

[CrazyRah]

Chaika.. complete!

 

Below. Final episode

 

Spoiler

 

I both love and got issues with the finale. I really love how I genuinly felt a bit concerned when Chaika used her memories as fuel and with one awfully large cost at that. Just wanted to know that Chaika was safe while the show wanted me to listen to the politicians.. luckily she seems to be alright in the end and can at least build up her own life instead the life of a tool. Also about time Toru made that contract! Looked far better plus he had the "Win" skill he needed to take down the mentor which was a bit silly but something that I suspected was coming. It's been kinda how the series has been, especially this season. Was a bit concerned how they'd deal with Gaz due to him being built up as the supreme being and I suppose it was dealt better than it could've been. Seen far too many really awful ways of dealing with characters like Gaz. That Niva switched sides due to having personality and in such "friendship is magic" was the way they picked. Not the best but a way that I can accept.

 

About the season as a whole. Rushed, very much so and it's a shame because with more time it could easily become so much better. A few more moments with just the characters interacting and Chaika being insanely cute would've gone a long way but with only 10 episodes very much had to happen in very little time. The show suffer for it. That said it's still a season worth watching for those that enjoyed the first season and just want a tiny bit more Chaika and don't need the best quality. So if you liked the first season watch it and if you've not watched the first season.. give it a try. The shocking truth is that you may just like it!

Thanks for the Date a Live thing, it's listed.

 

Shame about Chaika but I'll still watch it.

 

Might wait for the Levi thing though, unless it's a weekly thing, but OVAs take f*cking ages and it's a normal anime episode. I thought it was gonna be a big movie or something.

 

I think you will like date a live.

Well considering that I think humans are selfish individuals, I do believe Wenli's actions for going against Reinhard once more where to a large extent just that, as the firm believer of republic democracy that he was. Of course he did have other people's interest at heart, but I think he used it more as a justification for his actions, that the ends would justify the means. He even argues with himself whether or not he thinks he is doing is right.

Yang's action during the battle of Vermillion was selfish as well. He did it simply b/c he didn't want to go against his established principalities, even if it would have been for the best. Schenkopp states this as well, that Yang had no interst of going down in the history books as a man who took advantage of the situation b/c it favored him. It is truly the height of admiration and narrow-mindedness, I find.

True, the Empire wouldn't have collapsed, but I do believe it would have been divided and lead to internal struggles. Especially Reuental and Oberstein would be primary opposing characters in such a conflict. The conflict could go into many directions, but I personally believe it wouldn't have resolved any time soon.

Aside from that, damn, these follow up episodes after Yang's death certainly hit me in the place I live. Especially Julian and Frederica. Reinhard's was exactly like what I anticipated--full of sorrow and rage, more so towards what Yang represented rather than his character. How the show portrays how differently people react to his death is very well done.

Anyway I've just watched the final episode from Chaika and the ending was not as bad as I expected, not good either but I actually expected a lot worse.

 

I still ended up getting the only 2 things that I still wanted out of this show at this point. 

 

Spoiler

1. Toru making a contract with Frederika

2. Chaika making it out of alive, I mean sure she lost her memories but at least she is okay.

 

I couldn't care less about all of those politics though.

 

Overall I'm glad that I watched this show. I have to say that the main reason I kept watching S2 was because I liked the MC and really liked Chaika and Frederika. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you really shouldn't watch Season 2 for the story but for the characters. But hey Season 1 was actually a fun ride. 

 

Still a shame that they rushed as much as they did because appaerantly they really deviated from the story in the LN. It could really have been a lot better than what we got.

 

But If you really like season 1 then give season 2 a shot but know that you'll be watching a show that will be very rushed and overall not as great as season 1.

 

 

Have some Federika!

Hey I wanted to watch Date a Live before you tried to get me to love Origami.

 

And not to mention the massive workload you've given me outside anime.

Yeah but you already trusted me to obliterate your free time.

[Zeroth Angel]

Well that's bumped it up a whole lot higher in the list.

 

I love my soft-core hentai sh*t.

Very relevant.

@Sim

I will watch LotGH first. Only thing is typically I like to wait a few weeks after watching something before I judge it so I can think about it a bit.

[Vroom Vroom]

I don't see how that would scare her off.

 

I enjoyed every minute of it when you linked it a few weeks ago.

It scared my puss of a friend off, he came into my room and saw me watching it and was all like "Never mind, I'll come back later!".  

 

I'm just glad that he came in during this scene:

Hahaha I'll bet that must have been akward  .

It got really awkward when I tried to get him to stay and watch and he was pretty much trying to claw his way out of my room. It's okay though, the friendship has been repaired and he now knows that he wasn't in any sort of danger (really don't know why he felt that way in the first place) Oh, how I love Plastic Nee-san. 

 

Daily Lives of High School Boys is a really great anime too: 

 

You can find the entire thing on youtube, I actually watched the whole show in one sitting.
