God please no... I know you want to see Yang in a swimsuit dude but leave that for fanart and alternative official art.

[Liamv2]

God. I'm so sick of beach episodes in anime. They're so stupid and pointless like 90% of the time.

 

Neptunia has the best beach episode ever tho.

Most of them are pretty bad, Neptunia an exception but otherwise I'm not going to have an easy time mentioning other shows that managed to be alright

[TheClonesLegacy]

iM@S' is done fairly early. Mostly to set up plot elements for way later on.

Why would I care about a JoJo beach episode? Maybe if Dio was in it but that's unlikely

[TheClonesLegacy]

Dio wearing that Vampire Sunscreen from Blade lol.

Who would you expect to show up at the JoJo beach episode?

Iono. Depends what part it was during?

[Vroom Vroom]

I wish the series continued and overwritten the third movie. Oh well.

They were actually going to do Episode 3 animated and add in Captain Rex and characters like that, but Disney cancelled it before that could happen. 

[Mr.House]

R-18 Island was the best in Neptunia.

Old Joseph clearly.

Argh goddamnit Disney. The prequels were almost half fixed.

They had some neat stuff planned

like Ahsoka re-appearing as a freedom fighter on Mandalore

. I'm really steamed because we still don't know what happens to

Spoiler

Maul, even after the Son of Dathomir comic.

 

 

Also, with the exception of the first episode, season 2 of Rebels premieres in the fall. There is no set date.

These were episodes that had voice acting, but just basic animation:

I was going to send you this in a PM, but I figured some others might be interested in these too. 

[TheClonesLegacy]

I would watch those. But it feels like I'm looking at a corpse twitching and hoping it's still alive.

But it isn't.

It just had a current of electricity running through it.

 

I've tried before. But I couldn't do it.

[Chewin]

Evidently not.

 

Let's talk simple math. Captured enemy personel: 500.000, naturally the vast majority won't be combat troops. We've seen civilians during the capture, so let's assume families of stationed personel is included in that figure (despite the fact that civilians technically couldn't count towards POWs, so this is quite possibly deflating the actual numbers of trained personel). Go figure three civilians for each stationed serviceman (family with wife and two children), that's still 125.000 trained personel. Obviously a majority of that will be non-combat personal, engineers and some such. So let's say the local combat garrison is only 5% of the total stationed personel (arbitrary percentage). That'd still be 6250 soldiers. Even if only a fraction of those were located near enough to respond, that is still significantly superiour numbers.

 

 

That's just body count. If Iserlohn actually did have effective counter measures, like compartmentalized lockdown, containment procedures, rapid response garrison, autonomous failsafe procedures in case of loss of chain of command, any single one of those would've acted as a force multiplier in favour for the defenders. And a couple of such counter measures would be enacted automatically without further human input after the initial alarm was given.

 

All that means the only plausible way for the imperial troops not to be able to defend the station, in spite of having all the advantages if they actually had a well designed defensive system, is not using said system at all and not defending because "well, we're impregnable, no need to do anything, bulkheads sealing off everything, meh, whatever, why are we even here, this place is 100% secure even if I do exactly nothing *yawn* ".

Mind you, we're talking within a context of a longstanding war whose major engagements come with death tolls in the hundreds of thousands as far as I've heard numbers being talked. Indolence is one thing, complete disregard for your own life in a potentionally life-threatening situation in favour for lazyness is something entirely different.

 

This scenario would technically make sense, but that's relying on a willingness to accept simple stupidity in a magnitude I can't supply.

 

 

Or in short, if military aspects are supposed to be one driving theme of this show, they better cut all the rampant idiocy in the coming episodes, because I can take only so much stupid. So please, please tell me that such thing as basic competence will be a thing for someone else and not just the story's major characters.

 

Don't know what you are implying, since during Schenkopp's infiltration attempt, we saw how the station went into lockdown, wherein it froze major functions and we even saw directly how it sealed entrances, floors and communication, in an attempt to hinder outside forces managing the fortress--essentially isolating both parties. Just as Schenkopp mentioned, there were only 50 soldiers garrisoned there in their section (who are in control of the main command center), rest of them locked out, so no there wasn't soldiers in the thousands that could help with anything. In addition, since the communications were cut off, parties both outside the fortress and inside were not aware of the events taking place inside the station, as can be seen when Oberstein is arguing with the Admiral, and soldiers inside the fortress wondering if it is a drill or not, leaving them in confusion how to act (in a hundred year war, no one has ever infiltrated the station, as the episode shows how the soldiers are believing it to be another drill). Long exposure to such calm events will lead to soldiers becoming stale in their actions (even a few weeks of such activity is enough). 

 

Iserlohn functioning is based on full lockdown--wherein procedures are used in an attempt to minimize the risk of violence and increase the safety of installation personnel by restricting access and visibility to a threatening event, in an attempt to lock out both the attackers and defenders from main activities--due to the danger that the fortress possesses--but with the latter party relying on inside support to ultimately dwell out the attackers. But due to Rosenritter's rapidness in their actions, they where able to pave the way for Yang's fleet to enter (to handle any forces left inside the fortress to deal with), since the entire enemy fleet had been dispatched outside.

 

Their is certainly incompetence at play, but that factor is not due to Iserlohn's contingency measures making no sense, but the incompetence of Seckt alone (for taking out the entire fleet and not listening to Oberstein, who acted as one should during a lockdown). Seckt was of course paranoid that the fortress had been taken out already, due to him assessing that Yang's fleet was so small was simply a ruse. He was right of course, but his paranoia led to delusion, believing that Yang was setting an additional trap where he to act so he simply waited to see what would happen, which of course failed. His expectations relied simply on other head on strategies that 6 other fleets had used, and not taking into account any other possibilities to adapt the situation at hand. 

 

S1 does suffer from incompetence, but as House pointed out--it is used as a means to an end, to demonstrate the consequences of military leaders and their actions. Of course, the show usage of it is quite simplified and could certainly use variety to portray it in more effective ways, but thankfully such issues are mostly disregarded after S1. I myself complained about issues that arouse--well everyone here did--but we can all attest that it gets better as the show goes along. But the infiltration of Iserlohn as a whole is hardly that bad of a one.

Best thing with old people is that they are willing to talk/write longer posts. Sometimes they are even very good posts.

 

Chewin has earned his cane today!

Hisoka gifs are almost as good as Yang Wenli gifs.
