Spoilers below:

On Valkryia Chronicles (game):

fun stuff, the combined arms (tank and infantry) approach to tactical combat is great. The settings fun to decipher, we got ww1 politics, ww2 technology with some exceptions, fighting for a modern reason (fuel resources). From a geographic point of view this is the Soviet Finnish war, a closer look and things really starts getting weird. The Edelweiss is a king tiger, just look at the shape, its even got an 88mm gun. The Welkin Gunther’s uniform is a German tank commanders. Empire medium tanks look kind of like Soviet Josef Stalin 2 tanks. The Batomys is a British mark 4 with a bunch of navel stuff put on it.

On Valkryia Chronicles (anime):

Stays true to the spirit of the game without being confined by its plot holes. Like how it cut out Mariah’s childbirth in the Edelweiss, moral lessons aside, how do you get a pregnant women into the commanders hatch, which in close inspection is barely wide enough for Welkin. I especially enjoy the parts that are mentioned in the games glossary are actually shown in the anime, like Gregor’s ruthless in defeating the Gallian army. Most recently, episode 8, the anime has gone off course from the main game plot, considering there was kind of a gaping hole here in the game with Faldio discovering how Valkyria work without ever getting back into the chamber, I am actually pleased. Plus I have to agree with Maximilian’s use of heavy artillery to bury the Gallia resistance, who apparently waited 10 minutes there after the warning of bombardment. The destruction of the ruins, while a bad move in light of Cordelia being a darksen, was correct for the information available. Proof that the Valkyria were the bad guys would undermine the spiritual foundations of the empire.

On Code Geass:

Lelouch is probably the cart driver and probably immortal too. My reasoning is that the original way to get a code would be for a powerful enough Geass user to kill the code bearer, Lelouch might have been in the world of C when he did it, but in the end he did kill his father who had the code with his Geass. The situation with V.V giving the code to Charles was probably unique, the normal way should be by force like how C.C got it. The activation of the code seems to require death, Charles needed to shot himself before he became a code bearer, and therefore immune to Lelouch’s Geass, C.C was very bloody after she killed the priestess, suggesting a forced murder. And finally when Lelouch was dying or already “died” Nunnally entered the world of C by touching Lelouch, the only way to enter the world of C is by touch a Code bearer like C.C with Suzaku and Lelouch, or by using the machines developed by the order.

And on a different note

Nunnally should really be able to walk with technology available in code geass, I mean you have super cyborgs and knightmares but no medical exoskeletons? The hal 5 we have in the real world should be able to help her.

On tytania:

Disappointed, after hearing that the show was made the same person who did Legends of the galactic heroes, tytania seemed much less interesting. I suppose part of that is because the technology seems static while the real world moves at a breathless pace, but the plot felt considerably less refined, and fleet on fleet action was missing.

On mecha (general) for the real world:

Positive:

Yes that crazy Russian scientist in MGS 3 was right, armored combat vehicles could really use legs, and arms actually. Legs are necessary because they allow a vehicle to go almost anywhere, while wheels are confined to roads, and tracks have some trouble out of open firm ground. Arms are needed because they are useful, just try doing something without them, look at excavators they’re basically one armed vehicles on tracks and they are incredibly versatile. Due to the sheer complexity and expanse of a mecha, the number of moving parts is staggering; the portrayal of mecha in a similar light as fighter planes is accurate.

Negative:

The use of humanoids is stupid outside of exoskeletons and construction bots. Humans only advantage is the brain, our natural form sucks matched up against everything else that moves. If you can fly constantly you don’t need legs, hand waving infinite fuel fiction of course. On larger mecha, gundam sized, the main problem is ground pressure anything more than roughly 20 pounds per square inch, or 1 kg per square cm, tends to sink into the ground.
