If the planet were over-run with pirates, everyone who isn't a pirate would have a quality of life so low that you'd have to wonder if it would even be worth it to live in a world like that. Someone needs to cull their numbers or the world would go to shit.
Exactly. How the fuck is there going to be any kind of fucking balance like they're talking about if there's essentially one party that's more powerful, and constantly preys upon the other one? That's not some kind of weird-ass relationship like they're talking about. They're essentially just slaves for the pirates to do whatever the fuck they want. Hell, I wonder how the hell they've even gotten by this long with how retarded their captain is! I mean I can't fathom how they were able to put up any resistance in the past with some idiot like that taking the helm!
RANT TIME!
I mean for one, they have a guy that's piloting a superweapon, but they're using him to SHINE A FUCKING LIGHT ONTO THE ENEMY! Okay, okay, maybe they don't want to leave the battling to him. Yeah, that's it... they're afraid of the consequences (
though they should be afraid of the consequences of pissing off Ledo much more but hey whatever who cares right?). In that case, why are you using him to shine a light from a position that is roughly in front of your fleet??! If you're going to fucking use him as a means to light up the enemy while you stay shrouded, you should strike from a more advantageous position yourself, rather than such an obvious location as that; if the power source is the problem, just leave one small ship/submarine directly behind him to be the energy provider. Remain hidden while they sail at him, wasting their ammunition... try to get some diversionary fire going so they keep going at that location. Then, pop out from behind and start wrecking their shit. Or better yet, set up mines while they're en-route to the location and then force some losses before you even start your battle. You can't tell me you don't have the technology when you're piloting mechs, which we don't even have right now (then again I suppose since they can't really fly any planes, there's been a jumble of what tech is and isn't available). You already know you're outgunned, so why are you still engaging this way? Even if you hit them for a 1-2 minutes without retaliation, you're still going to lose. Or better yet, you know this guy's on your side because he decided to not annihilate you... and you can communicate with him... so why not have him help out?
I mean the pirates essentially charged straight in, and they took a damn good amount of time to get there... and they knew the exact direction they were coming from, yet this is all they did? Seriously? Pretty much anything would have been better, and engaging them straight up would have yielded roughly the same result. I am now convinced that this author is desperately trying to make the captain of this vessel try to seem as incompetent as possible. I see him sitting around with this pensive look on his face like he's got some hidden knowledge or hidden plan all the time, but I'm convinced that he's just fucking drunk or something all the time. No, not just drunk... fucking retarded. Grant did a better job than him while drunk. All the captain is good for is existing and getting them into deeper shit.
I don't expect him to be like Farragut taking New Orleans, or any Alex Row, but dear god, stop it. If you're gonna leave a guy that retarded in charge of your naval battles (by "guy" I mean the author in this case...), just turn this into a pure slice of life anime and just stop fighting. I mean hell, you don't even really need an interesting plot these days, because people just essentially eat up any moe art styles, no matter what the content is, so it's not like you need anything else. You already have good character designs, so there's no point in trying to make this what it definitely isn't. Or hell, give up at putting any kind of tactical spin on this shit. Just turn it into some shounen shit where our main character is suddenly an angsty main protagonist piloting a Nirvash, and regularly gets emo-ups... which mind you I liked that show much more than this... hell it was my favorite at the time.
That's some of the major stuff. I could probably go on, but that's mainly what I wanted to cover before whatever disaster is presented in the next episode (literal or no). I'm just really annoyed because I thought the premise of this would lead to more than this goddamned mess. Which reminds me, I should
finish watching this some time. I stopped somewhere midway..
And on a minor note, what kind of gay guys would go chasing a guy to a collapsing spiral staircase (almost killing him and themselves) just to prove that they're that fucking gay? If she wasn't there, we would have lost a main protagonist. Also, it was hilarious how the old lady was just like *gasp* "what do you intend to use this for?" I don't know, what the fuck do you think they intend to do with it? Just take a wild guess! ANY WILL DO. I am now simply continuing to watch this because it's entertaining in a different way... the sad way. Even if the author somehow actually turns this for the better, it's not going to be enough to erase what already happened...
