And from what has been seen, the EU seems have a radical liberal government similar to that of the Jacobins during the French Revolution. I believe the word "Floreal" (a month in the French Republican Calendar) appears in Leila's book and we see that the epoch of the EU's calendar is the date of the French Revolution 1789 (in real life the Jacobins used 1792 as the epoch). There's also a scene depicting the Notre Dame de Paris in ruins, which could indicate a Jacobin-like government is in place (Jacobins were fierce opponents of the church). The supposed retcon of Napoleon just makes things more difficult because without the Napoleonic Wars, then Europe's fate would be changed dramatically. I'm also still somewhat hesitant to accept the change regarding Napoleon as a retcon since we have very little info regarding the EU's development. Also if Napoleon was executed before he could seize power, then wouldn't Revolutionary France under the weak, inefficient Directory be snuffed out by the surrounding autocratic monarchies? In my opinion, the whole story behind Eowyn repelling Julius Caesar sounds more like legend and propaganda. In actual history, Julius Caesar's invasion of the British Isles was repelled, but the Romans successfully invaded them the second time in 43 AD. In fact the first historical Emperor of Japan is regarded to be Jimmu, despite the fact he's considered more of a legend. Like it was said before, Britannia having references to Romano-British culture doesn't mean that the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans played a role in British history. For anyone who is interested, this is my approach on Code Geass history. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8237789/...tannian-Empire |

Another weird thing about CG is the lack of a diverse force. Sure, KMF is superior, but they aren't invisible. Actually, in urban welfare, they could be considering sitting turtles (due to the lack of free space,...). And all we seen is that everytime Brittania KMF attack, they rarely go with alterliry and infantry support.
Also, they put too much emphasis on CQB. Something like Bamides or Panzel-Hummel is actually having more advantage on firepower and ammunition (two critical elements). But just because they don't have infantry and melee weapon, they were always depicted as inferior. |

If that is the case, then there's not a real issue there, because the EU originally had all of Europe and all of Africa under its possessions as seen in the older previous maps. |

I mean, a lot of it is simply rule of cool, a lot of the time they don't intend to show actual battle tactics. The extent to which there are some in that PV of episode 2 with Urban Combat was pleasantly surprising enough. Infantry really should have something equivalent to the Regina from the One Year War though. Last edited by Scherzo09; 2013-09-17 at 06:22. |

Could we please move the historical/political discussion to more appropriate threads? Interesting though it may be, it's starting to derail the current topic (episode 2 of Akito). Thanks.

This episode (ep 2) came out in Jap theatres on Sep 14th. Assuming that we wait for the the subbers to get the bluray/DVD edition & then sub it. We're looking at it coming out (on anime sites) somewhere between June-August 2014. However there is the rare chance that it comes out & gets subbed early...

September 14th was just a screening event. They do this often (1st OVA, 24-25 episodes of season 1, first episode of the second season). I'm pretty sure will get it by November
