How could anyone care about this retarded cunt let alone anyone in IBO?

She did.
Nobody gives a shit about her fairness nonsense on the battlefield.
>>138587210
It really is too bad that cute fox lady didn't survive.
>>138587210
Why did McGillis send her to her death if he thought she was a great friend and noble(according to his inner monologue)?
Was it rape?
>>138587210
Her lies Carta, her only accomplishment is breaking a biscuit.

Here's your reply.
Tekkadan gets it's reckoning next week judging form the preview pictures.
>>138588154
To suit his context necessary to create righteous obstacles for Tekkadan and Kudelia.
He's objectively sponsoring and backing Tekkadan from behind the scenes to deliver Gjallarhorn a political blow to reform it from the inside out.
To do this he's using his two childhood friends as fuel for the fire.
No burial = no death.
I'll believe it when I see it.

>>138587210
Carta did nothing wrong. She was too cute and noble.
She even challenged them to a duel 3v3, not to the death either, so no one else would have to die. If she won they'd give Kudelia and Makanai and fuck off back to Teiwaz, if they won they'd be allowed to pass and she'd stop chasing them.
>>138590553

>>138590059
Here's your reply
>Mika convinces Orga to be bloodthirsty when Orga starts doubting in this episode
>Which in turn causes Orga to instill it in the rest of Tekkadan
>Mika got surprised by Carta calling out for McGillis.
Watch him have an epiphany in the last episode while watching Tekkadan from afar.
"Wow these guys are nuts, the enemies are people too and have loved ones who will want revenge. I'll never find that place like this, I'm out". It will be like Sousuke Sagara and the rugby club in fumoffu.
NO GREATER GOOD
NO JUST CAUSE
>>138590453
Would've been the best thing to come out of this series.
>>138590553
Triggered the grammar out of you?
>>138590767
Carta's achievements include chasing down a Mobile Worker with an unarmed passenger on top and ramming her huge ass sword into it. Where is that honour you speak of?
>>138591576
It was the enemy commander. After they had been hailed with a warning before conflict even broke out.
>>138592167
It was a battle situation and he was the enemy commander actively giving orders, which is how she spotted him in the first place. There was nothing dishonorable about it.
A duel is an entirely different situation and she went out of her mech as a sign of good faith towards the negotiation she was attempting.
>>138592167
That MW is an armed weapon and could easily kill a person, also what she did was the correct choice attacking the enemy commander retarded enough to put itself in the open, you could said it was honor lest of Ein to attack the reporters shuffle back in the colony, but for Carta to attack the enemy commander in and armed vehicle is nothing out of question
>>138592167
Didn't even use her sword. She kicked it over.
>>138587210
rekt desu
>>138590453
He's dead, Jim
>>138592348
>Mika is making Barbatos-chan cry
Were they aiming from the beginning to make Tekkadan awkward to sympathize with?
It's not just Carta. I felt more even for Carta's subordinates than I can say I do for most of Tekkadan.
Was this their intention? For the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet to be more easily to sympathize with than Tekkadan itself?
>Challenging a bunch of Child soldiers on a the job to a duel and expecting them to fight honorably.
>Only doing this after you failed to stop them with massively superior numbers.
>>138592477
I'd like to say so as I have yet to ever sympathize with Tekkadan, but at the same time the heroic music playing when Mika was being a psychopath makes me doubt it.
>People think this won't end with Mika killing Orga and Kudelia because they "got in Tekkadan's way"
>>138592477
I care more about the Tekkadan than the crazy fox bitch and her goons.
>>138587210
I'm not really sure why she was still alive at this point. But I guess masterful storytelling required her miserable death with no chance to fight back. Oh well.
>>138592755
I liked Biscuit. I admit that it's kind of ironic that it was Carta and her fleet who in particular who did him in. And I do miss Biscuit.
But aside from Biscuit I find it really hard to feel for anyone of Tekkadan. Maybe Eugene but he isn't even part of the group anymore.
>>138592477
Main char being an opportunist and killing enemies while they are still busy preparing gets my dick hard as a rock.
It sure as hell beats the overdone "lead character questioning moral values mid battle".
>>138592477
I didnt really care about Carta but Tekkadan just pisses me off.
I hope they get slaughtered as well.
>>138592357
Nah, he'll be fine. Ein on the other hand is beyond fucked.
>>138592477
They're child soldiers fighting a war for survival because they've never had any other option.
Of course they aren't going to play nice. Their actions shouldn't be making you feel bad when you consider things in context. When you realize Carta is just a clueless spoiled brat that literally can't understand why people wouldn't want to follow her rules, it's easy to not feel bad about her getting her shit slapped. She walked into a battle for survival and treated it like a game.
If you should feel bad for anyone, feel bad for Cartha's subordinates, that were forced to follow her ignorant, naive ass into battle and die pointlessly because she doesn't understand the difference between child's play and a war.

>>138592512
And she already knew they wouldn't bother humoring her childish pride. Her death was entirely the fault of her own stupidity.
>>138592777
They could have made her suffering last longer.
Good she killed Biscuit the bitch deserved death.
>>138587210
Tekkadan's bloodlust is gonna mold Mars into Zeon #151556486 in Season 2.

They had plenty of options after joining Teiwaz
I kinda like this despite people thinking this is crap, so I wondered were I could start watching gundam.
I watched G-gundam, and both season of build fighters, I also watched wing, but that was over 10 years ago when I was 9-8.
Are there other AU series that are good or should I start with the first and go with release order?
>>138592477
I feel bad for Tekkadan for having to find motivation for surviving in the death of their friend.
>>138593038
Good luck trying to reason with waifufags.

They were exactly the same way in case you missed the navy guy complaining about them not going by the textbook. Earthsphere has had 300 years of peace. Mars sphere is like the middle east with constant fighting, pirates, slavery, mafia, etc..
>>138587210

>>138593474
>>They were exactly the same way in case you missed the navy guy complaining about them not going by the textbook. Earthsphere has had 300 years of peace. Mars sphere is like the middle east with constant fighting, pirates, slavery, mafia, etc..
Actually Tekkedan should know less about mobile suit combat than Gjallarhorn as they couldn't afford them on mars and the only one they had was used as a reactor.
>>138588154
He's a sociopath if you haven't noticed.
>>138593666
He is.
>>138593038
They're child soldiers fighting to overturn the order to usher chaos, in the hope of the possibility to create a in their eyes more righteous peace, that may or may not hold up even if they succeed. They are terrorists bringing literal war. And it's not just Kudelia. They're also harbouring Makanai who has been banished. Another individual that poses a danger to order and peace.
The basic argument is that the peace has to be broken for the lower classes to have a chance of improving their situation. But true or not there is no saying if Kudelia will even succeed and if they get their revolution innocent people will die no matter if they succeed or not. Kudelia may want to become hope but at the same time she is the cataclysm of chaos in story.
Carta and the regulatory joint fleet were charged with the purpose of protecting Earth's perimeter from invaders. Protecting the order. And here comes Tekkadan, literal terrorists bringing chaos of war. Good intentions or not they're trouble. Not even just for the upper classes, but the chaos they bring will surely pose a problem to many of the lower classes as well. It is chaos after all.
It could be said that they are in the way of change and that change needs to be had. How change is brought forth however is up to debate. What can really be said by the end of the day however is that Carta and the regulatory joint fleet were on the side of order, fighting to stop chaos, and to save lives. While Tekkadan are on a mission to overturn the order sparking chaos with their revolution. Just accepting casualties as collateral damage that can't be avoided.
There are arguments for and against both parties. But one side was fighting to protect while the other was fully aware of and accepting of there being casualties.
>>138593666
Orga was having doubts about going all in Mika style. He's totally crazy enough to do it even his preview narration agrees.
>>138593501
>she was just one of the greatest female villains out there in anime
Not even the best of the season.
>>138593585
Fuck off retard.
Carta did nothing wrong.
>>138593703
Load of bs. Probably pasta.
>>138593038
>>138593703
Actually, they are fighting for revenge. You can bet Mika will want McGillis ass now because he thinks he betrayed them.
>>138593675
Alaya Vaj = instant pro pilot
Add that to their extensive combat training with it in mobile workers and they're far more experienced. Mika wrecked them on the first day piloting with a faulty mech.
>>138593271
I get her being out of the mobile suit to issue the challenge, kinda retarded but whatever it's her thing, but why would you do that and make your subordinates do it with you
she deserved the beatdown that befell her and her men
>>138593444
The lie according to Okada was Gaelio pretending to be McGillis for Carta's sake whilst she died.
>>138593826
Because it is the honorable thing to do.
>>138593826
So nobody jumps the gun, if they see her and her men outside they won't attack out of fear of being attacked and can accept the terms calmly
>>138593817
Specifically the AV system turns whatever you're driving with it into a neural-link prosthetic as much as Mechanic-san's legs are. Literally a part of you you move like your own body. They pent no small fucking amount of time explaining this (and everything else, to the point nothing else fucking happens but exposition) in the first half.
>>138593817
You'd think a regular military would have better training than a poorly managed pmc.
Also the argument was regarding tactics which Tekkedan shouldn't know much about.
Crank had probably spent more time in a mobile suit than those shits had been alive.
>>138593829
source or you're pulling it out your ass

This means there was a chain of lies that lead up to Garma's lie before she died. There was a lot of lying this episode that all lead to Carta's death. Bravo sunrise

Useless woman.
>>138588154
He knows Tekkadan can beat fox retard with ease. If he didnt convinced his "father" to send her again oldfart would someone actually capable.
Same with Ein. There is probably some killswitch of remote override if thing go south. And if he didn't do that Gari Gari would thought of another plan McGills would have no control of.
>>138593945
>You'd think a regular military would have better training than a poorly managed pmc.
>fight exactly zero battles for 300 years
>expecting anyone to know how to fight at all
It's literally all theory and wargames. They might as well have been playing AirLand Battle to train their commanders. Meanwhile CGS had been doing actual fighting of some sort.
>>138593829
I really hope Gaelio gives McGillis some serious shit after this.
While Ein technically may have wanted to become the gundam monster, Gaelio's opinion of McGillis must have surely dropped like a bomb after what pushing for making Ein into a machine and for sending Carta to her death.
>>138593980
Carta is as dumb as a rock. Her previous behavior has proved this.
Garma is such a cuck.
>>138594033
About that, it seems McGillis has everything planned… if Ein goes out of his hands there is always the reset >>138593402
>>138592477
I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be sympathetic and the writers messed up. Even now they're probably supposed to be sympathetic characters going down a questionable path, it's just not really coming across for everyone because they fucked up the development leading up to it.
>>138593955
This makes complete sense and is the most likely correct answer. There were multiple lies in the episode up to the final one on Carta's deathMika was definitely lying
>>138594029
She and Atra - the only ones that haven't watched "duel".
>>138587210
Killing Carta is one thing. But that double 180 they did was just unnecessary. Don't toy with me like that.
After I had finally accepted her death, don't drag up my hopes from their grave with Gali-Gali's valiant rescue, only promptly have her die anyway.
>>138594029
When the fuck is she going to sexually heal Orga?
>>138593760
>liking the selfish edgy prostitute
>>138593980
Imagine being Carta now, someone who cares about honor, herself, and the guys under her command. Why would you doubt them to accept your offer, a duel that reduce a lot the risk of a bloodshed? it makes no sense that they would not accept a deal like that, the other option was running away from this duel and fight an endless war against a stronger force with no chance of winning.
>>138594164
Please god don't let us have some sort of "women are good men are fucked up" thing going on.
>>138594154
For you it may be worse, but for her it was the best outcome. Yeah it was a huge lie, but Gali cheer her up, in the end she die happy
>>138594198
JUST FUCK ORGA HOLY SHIT JUST FUCK HIM YOU USELESS BITCH
Seems cartafags have some real difficulties in navigating the morally grey zone.
This better end with Orga and Gali teaming up vs Mika and Chocoman.
>>138587210
Don't worry she's just asleep.
Friendly reminder that Tekkedan are the bad guys here.
Biscuit would feel disgusted by this.
He may have accepted and rationalized the outcome. But he would still feel disgusted by it.
It's as if everyone of Tekkadan with a functional conscience able to chastise the rest of the group have died, with the rest of Tekkadan all being trash.
>>138594046
>It's literally all theory and wargames. They might as well have been playing AirLand Battle to train their commanders. Meanwhile CGS had been doing actual fighting of some sort.
theory and wargames that are closer to what the battles have been like.
Also they were fighting in the first episode. They have had some activity.
Most of the Tekkedan's equipment is new to them and none of their experience would be remotely similar to what has gone on after they left mars.
>>138594288
>touching damaged goods
>>138594198
Don't pretend that Carta was doing this for any reason other than her own pride.
>>138594280
I guess you're right.
>>138594305
Fuck off Garma.
>>138594307
No, the conscience is still there, Tekkadan decided to not listen.
>>138594349
Of course she was doing it for her own pride (and for Mcgillis), I'm just trying to explain why she didn't doubt they were going to accept her offer.
>>138594322
>not wanting to comfort damaged goods
>>138594315
>theory and wargames that are closer to what the battles have been like.
Yeah, and Tekkadan have shat on them as a result.

>why the fuck are they firing so much don't they know how much ammo costs
>>138594292
>expecting something from waifufags in Gundam

Because she thinks those guys she is asking for a duel might have the same privileges and etiquette she was raised with.
>Please god don't let us have some sort of "women are good men are fucked up" going on.
>not expecting this from Okada
>>138594307
They're grieving and angry kids, anon. They all forgot about their consciences.
>>138593703
What >>138593795 said.
Tekkadan never wanted to "change the world".
They just wanted to make it big and they could have made it by just working normally after joining Teiwaz.
But no. They continue going on, making illogical decisions and when they bite them in the ass they shift the blame.
You can argue that real people do this too yet it appears there's not a single individual capable of introspect in their crew.
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice shame on me.
>>138594154
They should have killed her 2 episodes before.
>>138594292
More like both sides have been parroting the same shit for two consecutive threads.
>theme kicks in
>>138594397
Bitch was spoiled to get things done in her terms.
>>138594307
That's the (hamfisted) point.
Biscuit was Tekkadan's cool head and their conscience. He's gone now, so they're going to run wild.
Question is, will they find their moral center or will they just destroy?
>>138594307
It's because Biscuit had a family. He couldn't allow himself to become a monster if he were to ever hope to live with them.
>>138594492
They'll be the antagonists in season 2.
>>138594307
If only Eugene was here.
>>138594577
Nah, some kid will bite the dust and they will realize what they did was wrong.
>>138594421
>Yeah, and Tekkadan have shat on them as a result.
No that is the show being stupid and adhering to bad tropes.
>>138594492
To be fair, the most moral outcome of this whole thing would be Tekkadan destroying everything they can get their hands on. There are no non-combatants in globalism.
>>138594577
Not with McGillis still around.
>>138594492
Destroy, until Eins comes in and tears them a new one. My bet is on that drill chick from Naze's group biting it along with several children. Then Naze finally comes in and smacks some sense into Orga, I don't see Merribit doing it.
>>138594633
This is not new to Gundam in any way.
>>138594452
Like they'd give a shit about overall society when it was their environment on Mars that created them. Really they're just doing the role that was was given to them, and that's operate as mercenaries. They have a cause as well, but every political fucker that wants their way sends the cavalry in.
Their crew shouldn't give a fuck about others, they just want to get from point A to B and others won't let them.
>>138594723
He'll be the season 2 protagonist's Bright.
>>138594752
Which is going to be a complete asspull because they need a challenge. They've been living with AV systems pretty much their entire lives and now Ein is suddenly up to par with them just because he got it.
>Merrybit is useless now
>Kudelia stopped whinging this ep and progressed plot last one
Feels weird.
>>138594792
Never said it was new to Gundam, I only said what it was.
>>138594832
Ein's seems a bit more advanced than theirs.
>>138587210
She was retarded til the end. I can't believe she was able to kill one of the major characters.

>>138589402
Mika doesn't seem like the machvelli type. His Gundams name is Barbaros and he threw away the katana for a freaking club for godsakes.
He's literally a brute. The only reason he's MC is 'muh place to belong' and he trusts orga to figure that shit out.
>>138594832
>suddenly up to par with them just because he got it.
Yes that's how AV works. What part of 'the mobile suit is the user's body' don't you get? Walking in a mobile suit with AV installed is like walking with your own legs.
>>138595015
Even when it comes to stuff like that, someone with years of experience is going to perform better than someone who just started.
>>138592565
I don't know what to believe after fumitans death and 'princess of light and hope' got played straight.
I think the writer thought it was going to be a devil/angel thing, where Kudelia is the angel professing nice things and Mika is making it happen with pure violence.
>>138594955
I was blinded by Kudelia constantly being in the spotlight and her uselessness being focused on.
Despite helping out several times before Edmonton.
>>138595015
That's like saying a baby who just leaned how to walk could keep up with a grown adult.
>>138594832
Well for starters, Erin is a professional trained mobile suit pilot while Mikazuki has crazy raw talent.

The characters portrayed as the most benign, charismatic, and principled in this show are literal mafiosos.
Remember that.
>>138595142
Gjallarhorn is corrupt, but Gjallarhorn also isn't one fully unified organization.
The joint fleet for sure wasn't corrupt.

Oh boy I sure do love watching politics the show. I already work enough in politics I don't need it with my gundam
>>138595293
>mafiosos
Mafiosi. And damn, I just realized he is the only one that seems to like girls, the rest oscillate between ignoring them and using whore houses.
God DAMN that was satisfying.
>>138595459
Mika kissed Kudelia remember?
>>138594452
>Tekkadan never wanted to "change the world".
>They just wanted to make it big
From an outside perspective however, they are working for Kudelia and promoting her goals. And those are her goals. With that in mind any outsider would think of Tekkadan as an extension of Kudelia and thereby claim that Tekkadan are trying to bring forth a revolution.
Granted that Tekkadan as individuals fighting for revenge doesn't exactly make them any more sympathetic.
>>138595461
You think that was satisfying? Wait until next episode when those damn orphans heads start flying
>>138594029
WHY IS SHE SO USELESS
FUCK, MAN
WHY
DO SOMETHING GOD DAMN IT
>>138588154
Because she's literally the Garma, McGillis did it so he can use her as martyr for his cause
>>138594150
Neither did Yamagi.
Orga being Mika's little bitch while still pretending he's the on top is getting annoying.
>>138595543
I meant like as in "treat them well, actually value them". I am not saying that the tekkadan are presented as female haters or anything, it's just that the only tekkadan character that cared about girls was Biscuit and he was killed.
But I admit I don't remember what is Mika's opinion about Kudelia.
>>138595578
Mika's fighting for a 'home'
Orga's fighting to make a 'home'
Biscuit was fighting to support his 'home'
I think its pretty obvious that the revenge part is mostly because they are butthurt that people die in war. If they got non-combat jobs they wouldn't have to worry about that shit. But no, violent corporate takeover and protecting a world-class political official as their first job was their choice.
>>138595650
She thought she knew how to deal with them because they were kids. In that scene she realized no one can help them.
>>138595578
I know that.
I'm not defending Tekkadan.
They were given plenty of chances to back down and they rejected them.
When things didnt go their way not once did the stop and think "Maybe we made a wrong decision".
>>138595454

It was mostly child soldiers fucking shit up though.

>"treat them well, actually value them"
most of the random orphan cast seemed to like fumitan and olga likes merrybit. Mika even liked the braclet atra gave him and saved her when she was young.
I don't know where you are going with this.
>>138594957
>fascist revolution
Says who?
Apparently the Great Economic Bloc Empire of Edmonton Alberta had a bunch of political thugs drive out the most popular political candidate in a Gjallarhorn-backed coup so they could fix an election USSR-style. Putting that candidate back in the running so that democracy can happen as it should is the exact opposite of fascism.
Tekkadan are fighting for Democracy, Freedom, Labour Rights, the little guy(tm), and the interests of the Canadian voting public.
>>138595794
>I don't know where you are going with this.
Me neither, I am just seeing too much into this >>138595095 and in Tekkadan ignoring Merribit.
>>138587210
SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE
>>138595835
>the interests of the Canadian voting public.
Tekkadan's being awfully impolite about it, tho.
>>138595771
>mostly child soldiers
mostly mika being uncivilized
I thought it was a good metaphor for how the powerful are comfortable and weak while the poor take any chance they have to win.
>>138595835
Tekkadan is fighting for their pocketbook first and foremost sir, politics be damned. If there's a second reason its revenge(against the world that shamed them), if there's a third its honor.
Political ideology is dead last.
These hands have grown very dirty in time.
>>138595891
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They ain't got no respect to give for them there Gjallahosers and neither should you there, eh bud.
Gaelio is a faggot I hope he dies along with Ein they were good friends and all but they are useless
>>138595948
top kek!
How old was Carta supposed to be anyway?
Can't be more than maybe 4-5 years compared to McGillis and Gaelio,who both seem to be in their mid to late 20s.
The chick looked like she was in her 40s already, damn it. Even as a kid she looked like a cake.
>>138595858
>Tekkadan ignoring Merribit
If you ever saw that film Dangerous Minds in the 90s about a white woman teacher who goes into the black schools and tries to 'reform' them its basically the same thing. She doesn't get their way of thinking, although she works for the fucking Mafia she's portrayed as a average good woman. She literally exists to be upset at them for killing people.

Why doesn't Gaelio just turn Carta into a Gundam too?
>>138593954
post on /m/ earlier today cited Okada posting some brief messages on Twitter shortly after the episode aired confirming both Carta being dead after Gaelio spoke to her one last time pretending to be McGillis and that the meaning of the episode's title was based on the scene to which she says is one of her favorite scenes from working on the show.
>>138595835
Tekkadan are fighting for the money and fame.
Kudelia is making them fight because hope or something, which means her having the power because she definitely knows how to run this shit and because she has to repay the ones who helped her and clearly she wouldn't be able to do so in a real democracy.
Don't believe the lies, the first thing that happens after Kudelia taking power is big powers eating the resources of the people.
Where to see the preview pics for episode 24? I don't see any of the death in the preview that anons have been going on about.

>People honestly think that they are portraying Tekkadan's REVENGE! thing in a good light as the right thing to do.
Seriously, are people just getting confused because they played the theme song during it? They had thunder and lightning during the scene with Mika and Orga, the adults are freaked out over it, and even the black mechanic guy said that it's wrong.
It's wrong, but it's what Tekkadan needed to keep moving forward with the job. Their leader was crouched in a fetal position in his room, everyone was depressed, and Shino of all people was in command. SHINO! That's how bad things were.
The revenge thing is motivation to keep moving forward because as things stand they can't go back yet. They're on Gjallarhorns shit list and illegally in Earth territory with no ride ack into space. The whole scene with Mika and Orga in the last episode was to drive the point into Orga and remind him that he was the one who put them on this path that and that they literally can't stop now so he needs to take some damn responsibility and keep them moving.
It's wrong and fucked up but there's no other options left and that's the point.
>>138595835
>Tekkadan are fighting for Democracy, Freedom, Labour Rights
What a load of bullshit
Tekkadan is company
They are fighting for money
Couldn't they have just made Ein a cyborg? They cut off his fucking dick.
>>138596311
>It's wrong and fucked up but there's no other options left and that's the point.
I think you're right. That was why Mika said 'it doesn't matter you're still an enemy'. I wonder if the underlying meaning was that he decided to gain an overwhelming victory at that point to boost tekkadan's morale. He did say on the PV he's fighting to crush things for the tekkadan now.
So why didn't Atra watch Mikazuki slaughter Carta and her men?

She's pure.

The entire plot of this last arc has been trying to sneak into Edmonton because it somehow became the capital of a world superpower.
Mecha shows always seem to have a hardon for bumfuck nowhere cities in Canada.

>>138596479
Well, Alberta is literally the only reason Canada is even able to keep its lights on at this point because Canada's leadership is fucking retarded, and Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, so.
Maybe when Canada went belly up, Alberta seceded and formed a solvent country.
>>138596198
Bullshit. So much has happened it's silly.
Dozens of characters have died, businessmen have sponsored and secretly plotted to destroy Tekkadan, fucking space pirates came and went, Makanai has been revealed to be an old power hungry asshole and not the saviour in waiting he was pegged to be, Gjallarhorn is fucked and a total viper's den of power mongering snakes barring the few sympathetic figures.
I could go on for paragraphs on end.
Would you make her cry, anon?
>>138596558
Or they got fucked up in the Calamity war.
>>138596472
No complaints here
>>138596479
Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, the most resource rich province in one of the most resource rich countries in the world
>Guilty childrens
Reckoning day fucking when?
>Re-watch previous episode
>"Ein most represents the former gjallarhorn"
The old Gjallarhorn was a bunch of retards out for misguided revenge?
>>138596479
It's the capital city of the largest oil-producing industry in Canada and one of the major sites of oil-sand business. It's a big deal to the Canadian economy, but Alberta's oil production is a drop in the water compared to the US, Russian, OPEC or literally any other major player in the market so it's not like that matters.
They probably just wanted a city that was real but irrelevant enough that nobody'd ever heard of it. Edmonton is the hipster's Chicago. Plus the population density in the prairies are so low that they can play around the whole "no magical drive systems in urban areas" thing without much issue.
Worth noting that most of the backgrounds from the past 2 episodes are tracings of famous canadian paintings. Maybe the director is an artfag and that influenced their decision.
Is it normal to just hate everyone in this show?
>>138587210
Good riddance.
>>138588016
Pretty much this. I love how they let these scenes drag on, too, as if this combined with those flashbacks, and McGillis's monologue would garner any sort of sympathy for her.
>>138588057
>fairness nonsense on the battlefield
Mikazuki did to her the same thing he did to Crank at the beginning of the series. While they brandished bullshit like pride, honor, and fairness Mikazuki shut both of them down with a good dose of the harsh realities of war. Merrybit's sudden reversal of attitude against fighting is really getting annoying now.
>>138596694
He represents loyalty
>>138596583
It looks almost like a god damned TSF at this point
>>138596694
Sounds like tekkadan.
>>138594957
Tekkadan are the good guys though. They've literally done nothing wrong so far unless you count killing the people trying to kill you as "wrong". If Tekkadan wins people in mars get a chance for a better life and Earth gets democracy and true freedom. If Gjallarhorn wins everybody gets 300 more years of corrupt autocratic bureaucracy.

They both tried to do an "Honorable" duel after a failed attack on Tekkadan with superior numbers as well.
>Merrybit's sudden reversal of attitude against fighting is really getting annoying now.
Seems to not be against fighting so much as the fact that they seem to be suicidal about it and dragging the young kids into it as well.
Not like the kids have any other future or choice though. They joined up with a mercenary group that was using kids as cannon fodder before the series even started and Mars is a shit hole without a crap job market.
