    inshallah

    Yeah spoilers is kind of a concern, Idk how to handle that. Certainly some stable characters can have spoiler sections on their articles? And just backstory/rank/physical traits/whatever on page. Uncritical support to that one person doing the wiki though. Fuck knows I've misquoted or misspelt character names before oh-shit

    Ew jsdf cringe

    Uh I guess, Idk we spent all of episode 4 and 7 away, to me getting to see the anarchists by Khaybar or the Volkische uprising, bits of the Republic too, the Imbrium ocean is fucking vast and has so many characters. Erich, the Sunlight org, Victoria van Veka and her mistress, there's so much stuff... But yeah, I guess the intermissions are what draws stuff out. Does this mean we are never gonna see the Premier again though...?

      there IS a good description of some of the divers at least, which is nice

      tbf the movie's all about exploring japan's role as a usa client state and its complicity in imperialism. it isn't pro jsdf, just kinda boring

      yeah the scope isn't THAT limited, it's just that in numbered chapters we only really see things that are either intersecting with the brigand or that will intersect with the brigand soon. we could very easily see all the people and groups you mention again soon, in numbered chapters even! not even just if they arrive in the same colony as the brigand, they could just be doing something relevant to the brigand. and i also do wanna say there's an intermission right after episode 9, so that's even more space for the wider world to be seen

        Oh ok cool, uh still rip but that's better at least

        Yeah Idk it just feels like there is a whole entire world because we get to see far-off pockets of it pretty regularly, this is praise now actually. Worldbuilding. Also yaw intermission soon!!

          the ova and the first movie are both great, if you can stomach comedies about cops being bad at their jobs that understand the problems with policing but also are more concerned with "wouldn't it be funny if the cops had a mech and they kept stepping on peoples cars"

          worldbuilding! yeah the world is very well built, though there's always plenty more to be done
