Though if the unlikly day I get away from Russian enough to learn Japanese occurs, I would like to check them out.<BR/><BR/>As for warmongers? I doubt they would be able to a threat as long as Julian and Ms Yang were around. Phezzanis would probably be more focused on the New Empire and probably maybe buy their way to freedom again.<BR/><BR/>As for the map of what Julian got at the end, I don't think I saw one, but I'll go double check the last episodes when I get a chance too. But my understanding is that they gave up everything for Heinessen Starzone and El Facile was given over to the Empire along with Iserlohn.Silencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299327552361989805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561972649206187851.post-71970304293508214652007-11-18T14:02:00.000-08:002007-11-18T14:02:00.000-08:00Yeah, the anime ending foreshadows a long period o...Yeah, the anime ending foreshadows a long period of truce/peace. And it seems unlikely that Kaiserin+Mittermeyer and Julian will foolishly go to war.<BR/><BR/>But I've read somewhere that the novel epilogue is on the contrary more ominuos. Do you know more about it?<BR/><BR/>Also, there are still loose plot ends which might lead to war. Think about the fate of the last Goldenbaum heir, revealed as being still alive in episode 109 or 110.<BR/><BR/>And what about new warmonger political leaders in the automonous again Free Planets area or Phezzani merchants hostile to the new government? If they were to rise to power, would Julian be obedient like its mentor always was, to the point of risking his own life (because when Yang decided not to kill Reinhard he saved the principles of democracy, but at the same time forfeited the democracy territories to years of autocratic domination, which in itself is a severe contradiction).<BR/><BR/>Lastly, do you know if there is a map of the starzone which Reinhard gave as independent enclave to Julian? I understand it includes Heinessen, and I guess it can't be as vast as the previous Free Planet Alliance, but what exactly are its boundaries? What about El-Facile?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561972649206187851.post-49552825542231635732007-11-18T10:12:00.000-08:002007-11-18T10:12:00.000-08:00Muller and Bittenfield working together?

If they could get a working relationship going, that would be a pair to rival Reutental and Mittermeyer.<BR/><BR/>Though, I wouldn't see a war occurring between remnants of the FPA and the Empire for a long time.Silencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299327552361989805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561972649206187851.post-64764212635999211792007-11-16T13:54:00.000-08:002007-11-16T13:54:00.000-08:00Bittenfeld was the only one who opposed Oberstein ...Bittenfeld was the only one who opposed Oberstein in a open, direct way (well, other than Reutental when he rebels of course). He has no fears to express his genuine feelings and survives the ecatombe of the final episodes.<BR/><BR/>I'm still searching for infos on the novel epilogue chapter, supposedly not adapted into anime, and we can only "fan fictionize" what would be of Bittenfeld after Reinhard's death.<BR/><BR/>But if Mittermeyer is made Prime Minister, with Kesler and Mecklinger mostly behind the lines, then it'd seem like the Wild Boar and Muller would become the main operative leader of the Imperial Fleet, and the most likely first adversaries of Julian in a new war.<BR/><BR/>Indeed a fascinating plot twist for a pretty bi-dimensional character in a world of extraordinary three-dimensional ones like LOGH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
