Yes I have. The main idea of the story is that Reinhard is a selfish prick who gets controlled by his childish whims and Wenli is a spineless cuck. Reuenthal and Julian were the only persons in the show who had a common sense.

LOGH is mainly about the concept of power and relations concerning of it. Lohengramm stands everything against the ideals which the author tries to give through the dialogues of Wenli. He's obviously the bad guy.

He lost the Battle of Vermilion. He might have come out victorious in the end, but what really matters (to him) is that Yang beat him in the battlefield.

You do know that he not only wins, but wins so hard that he is the one man that provides peace to the galaxy and brings about a new generation of enlightened ruler-ship to everyone?

I think it would be really interesting to see an alternate history where Reinhard gets killed by the assassin and Kircheis succeeds him.

He would probably try to carry on his friend's ambition, but would he go as far?
How would he deal with Oberstein?
He is also the only one who ever got the better of Yang in a tactical standoff making him possibly the best general in the galaxy.
>>
>>144323924
Reinhard's fault is that he spent too much time thinking about conquering the universe and too little time thinking about how to actually fix it once he had done so. I wouldn't be surprised if the empire split into several smaller belligerent states shortly after his death. Fortunately he at least had the decency of stepping out of the stage in favor of a more intelligent administrator once he had unified the cosmos.
>>
>>144324005
I meant main characters, and Trunhilt actually was doing some good things like not supporting the war. Basically he just wanted to appease the masses for power but still would help the masses.
>>
>>144323914
Kaiserfags really make the worst shitposters in the universe.

Trunhilt is just there to represent the ugliest side of democracy, he's in no way an antagonist.

I'm not even a kaiserfag, if I had to pick one I'd certainly identify with Yang more than with Reinhard, but the stuff you're saying is just idiotic. It's not even a matter of who you think is right or wrong, it's a matter of how the show portrays them, and the show clearly does not label them as good guy and bad guy.

Just because the show doesn't says or portrays directly the good and the bad, it doesn't mean that there are no subtle nuances at all. And those nuances are against the favor of Reinhard.

>nuances
Such as?
>>
>>144324386
Just re-watch the scenes between Julian and Yang thoroughly, that'll give you an idea. Reinhard is portrayed as a selfish ruler who wants to control the universe just for the sake of his personal desires overall in the show.
>>
>>144324518
>when the enemies of reinhart are talking about reinheart he comes of as the bad guy
Maybe, just maybe you're the one watching the show with a biased view.

Isn't he right though?

Reinhard pretty much does things out of selfish ambitions. He does not care much about the millions that die for him.

Yang and Julian wasn't the enemies of Reinhard Kaiserfag.

>>144325594
He made a small error and got himself killed.
>>
>>144325594
He gave that terraist dude control of the secret police
>>
>>144323365
And yet he achieves much more good than Yang Wenli. That's the crux of the issue, it's what makes him an anti-hero, and not an antagonist .

>>144323448
But he never did beat Yang in the field, he always felt outsmarted and inferior. Frankly their both undefeated in their own ways. Many people just respect Yang more for being the underdog, myself included.

>>144323488
You kind of missed the fact that Reinhard did degenerate slightly as a leader during the second half of the show. Despite achieving his ultimate goal, he was unsatisfied as a warrior and it was obvious he desired not just a convincing victory over Yang to repair his ego, but also a hunger for further glory in battle. His actual governance is just his hyper competent version of going through the motions.
>>
>>144325308
Ironically yes, but I hope your not implying it was his goal all along, and not just his plan to reach the top again in the new world order.

He may have had selfish reasons, but the ultimate impact of his actions was more positive then anything yang accomplished. He united the galaxy and ended a century's old war. With no more real reason to launch large scale campaigns and raid territories, and with the Terraist terrorists wiped out along with Phezan's upper echelon, humanity has the chance to work towards something better thanks to him.

That was one of the few intelligent decisions we saw the demoncracy do in the whole anime.
What is the point of killing the enemy leader just to have your capital planet bombarded instead? They had no way to know that in a few minutes Yang would completely win anyway, so better to give up than lose millions of people and infrastructure that would take decades to rebuild.

That would be Oberstein. If Reinhard really didn't care about them, he would have launched the nuke without a second thought, and when the assassin came, he wouldn't have given two shits about it.
