The incredible attempts to make this series out to be what it isn't is insane. So this is to the man that claims to have watched a good chunk of the series, but let's see how much truth that holds.
Get ready, Fraulein.
Plot Overview
"They are the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance, two new generation of leaders Yang Wenli for the FPA and Reinhard Von Lohengramm for the Galactic Empire."
There is already something wrong with this. Yang is no leader of the Free Planets Alliance. If he was the leader and told everyone what to do he would have beaten Reinhard much faster along with winning the war at the end of the second season. The leaders of the Free Planets Alliance are the High Council.
BTW, the Free Planets Alliance is not an empire. It's democratic society. Do you know what an empire is?
"Reinhard climbs the ranks to fight against the Goldenbum Dynasty alongside his friend Siegfried Kircheis and unify humanity over one supreme ruler."
Reinhard does not "fight" against the Goldenbum Dynasty with Kircheis. He waits until it is the right time to become the Kaiser, however; he had to build up reputation by winning battles and gaining the trust of the upper members in the Empire. Even when he did these things, the higher-ups still disliked him and even put him on a back burner for a seven year old to become Kaiser.
" Yang himself alongside his friend Julian Mintz has to face off against the struggles in the FPA."
No. Julian did not fight alongside Yang at all. Yang hated the idea of a young boy fighting in a meaningless war to him.
"They do it all in a boring, dreadful, documentary style format."
Guess you don't know what a documentary is. Here, let me help you.
"You'll be treated to fake history lessons from fake historians..."
The story is set in a FICTIONAL SETTING, with FICTIONAL CHARACTERS! Dude.
Characters
"There's also other characters like Oberstien who's CLEARLY there to manipulate Reinhard. Reinhard is suppose to be some godly strategist, yet can't realize that someone like this is controlling him throughout the show."
Oberstein actually respects Reinhard and literally DIES FOR HIM. You continue to prove that you did not watch the show. A simple Google search would have done you wonders. Oberstein risked his life for Reinhard when an assassination attempt was made on him.
"Other characters are so irrelevant. I would list more of them, but there's like a shitload of characters that they introduce in the fist few episodes of the show"
Irrelevant? Reunthal is irrelevant? Annerose is irrelevant? Mittermeyer is irrelevant? Schenkopp is irrelevant? I could go on all day on why that one is wrong. One gets his own arc. Another is the sole reason Reinhard does what he does and others gets multiple episodes where they are the ones leading the attacks. Hell, there can be episodes at a time where Reinhard and Yang aren't even focused on once.
Theme/Moral
"Yang constantly speaks about this all the time the problem is if you REALLY wanted to learn politics you'd read a book about it."
You think the story is made to teach the audience about the political ideologies that the series talks about, however; the ideologies are just the backdrop of our setting and the motives of the characters that fight and die for these ideologies to be met. You can decide rather it is interesting or not, but to use it as a flaw to the series is horridly inaccurate.
Ending / Current Summary
"Reinhard and Yang both end up dying at the end of the show. Oberstien I believe also dies as well and Julian Mintz has a character defining moment where he defends Yang's death."
Wow. All of that was wrong. Reinhard and Yang die at different times in the series. Two completely different seasons of the anime. If you watched it, you would know that Oberstein does die and it''s a pretty big impact on the series and character defining moment for him. Juilian also never defended Yang's death. That is the whole point of season 4 with his character. He couldn't save Yang.
Cons
"-Character's are not impressive and the strategy is barely there. Yang and Reinhard win because the plot wants them too on some Fairy Tail nonsense"
Do you know what strategy is? The funny part about what you said is, Yang and Reinhard DON'T always win at all. Reinhard loses from time to time, and yet very rare, Yang loses as well.
"-Female characters are pretty useless for the most part"
None of them are useless. Greenhill is literally a high advisor in the FPA after Yang's death and Fraulein has always been there to give her advise on political movements that should be done and both of them were a big part of what made Reinhard and Yang characters. Annerose is the main reason Reinhard progresses on within the Galactic Empire.
"-No interesting villains. Villains in this show are dumb and are merely obstacles for the main characters to take over"
There are no villians in LotGH. It would literally contradict what the story is trying to tell you.
"-Never really tell us much on how their weapons work"
There was a whole episode used to explain everything about the weapons, the history, the government, and the earth. Episode 42 to be exact.
"-Will bore you with whole history lessons from fake ass historians"
Again. FICTIONAL STORIES WITH FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!
Finally
Chode Gayass paints an evil view of the Britannia Empire in an black and white view. LotGH does not paint any form of political ideology in a bad or good light. You get to decide. GITS has no form of moral politics in it, it's about humanity.
Consider this post, along with a majority of my brain cells, destroyed.
