I mean his superior in Season 1 was a black guy, and they had a degree of trust with each other. Plus, normally its the Imperial side that is more racist/sexist side. I mean, the original Kaiser basically went Hitler on ethnic minorities, the disabled, and homosexuals. For the screen shot in question, maybe it meant something about his size? That character is someone who is basically one of the largest/strongest non-Rosenritter people on the Alliance side (or at least I think it is). No, the whole show is. All the women are secretaries (and all the secretaries are women), no women in important positions at all, and they're all submissive to the men. The only black person is a body guard who defers to a sixteen year old. Admittedly, I'm only up to ep. 60, but it really seems pretty noticeably racist and sexist lol. | ||

Won't be the first time translators make little dumb mistakes~ Agreed >_> On a different note, sigh, NWN, SC2, and BLC have knocked me off-pace from Dies Irae, Ayakashibito, and Kiminozo. Have you given SeSeKano a second shot yet? I am still drowning from the flood of tweets from Japanese tweeters. | ||

And no, I have been sucked randomly into rereading YuYuHakusho and playing Akaneiro. | ||

I don't think so. And she wasn't a secretary. Edit: About DVDs for LoGH, will there be a BD? I'm pretty sure that BDs hold more stuff than DVDs, and a DVD box set for LoGH would be like 30 discs -_- | ||

Is Akaneiro the propeller game? And yea I'm thinking of trying out Kimonozo because jade has it sooooooo high on his list. Gonna try to track down kazokukeikaku as well, because it's his #1. | ||

Antics antics antics PLOT. Though it's not a very good plot... I was hopeful that we'd get something good, but alas, it was not to be. It's painfully obvious that the killer isn't Yuu. My bet's on the new girl, whatever her name is. She really reminds me of Sakura from Fate/stay. Similar voice, ill girl, senpai senpai senpai, | ||

I read a little of Hourou Musuko. Does the anime not begin at the start of the manga or something? WTF? ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/QWVAM.jpg) That is not how you sit in a suit, Yang. -_- | ||

Are most of the important people women? Yeah. But Ferrose brought up a good counter example for the Alliance in Jessica. There were already other women on the High Council of the Alliance. As to why most people in the military are male, I don't think its THAT hard to understand. Even if you just take the Alliance military, which is at least modeled on a modern democratic military, compare it to how the United States works. Only men are required to register for the draft. Therefore, only men are drafted. Therefore, only men made up the military. Is that "sexist"? I dunno. As for "all secretaries are women", its just plain wrong. There are tons of male secretaries in the show, even up to the parts you have watched, so I don't know why you would claim that. And as for "the only black guy is a body guard who defers to a 16 year old", did you forget the Fleet Admiral who was Yang's boss for almost all of Season 1? Sidney Sitolet was his name, I think? He was depicted as one of the very few compentent and good established Admirals in the Alliance who wasn't in Yang's fleet, and retired honorably. There are less ethnic minorities in general because so many were purged by the original Kaiser, like I said. + Show Spoiler [HUGE SPOILERS FROM END] + As for powerful women, Hilda Marinedorf eventually becomes Kaiserine, and rules the entire Galaxy after Reinhard's death. Frederica becomes the head of state for the Iserlohn Republic as their political leader after Yang and the El Facil Revolutionary Government gets assassinated.

It was pretty damn good until a little over half way through and then they totally ruined basically everything for ~7episodes before being kickass again. Anyone else find this? I really liked Blue Gender. I wouldn't say "fairly old", since its a 90s anime. I wouldn't say they "totally ruined basically everything", but there definitely was a patch there that wasn't as good. The anime has lots of character deaths lol, very dark. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Hahahaha, the capital to Phezzan. Reinhard, your plans are so awesome! 56 was an historical episode, but I kind of got bored after a while. Earth will probably play an important role soon. Maybe. I'm still wondering what the fuck is the secret police that Oberstein approved gonna do. It couldn't have been useless. | ||
