Tytania

[Shadow Skill]

Dunno, but I am liking this show quite a lot.

Also... in the early episodes they talk about Earth as some mythical place. Do you think Earth will serve as some last episode climax that will end the Tyranny of the Royal folk in Tytania?

my guess is that Earth has been destroyed or mostly abandoned for more fertile ground...

really liked episode 05. one of the things this author does well is tell very good, smaller stories inside of the larger epic. Erwin and the Tyrandia Duchess might not have been the most original story ever told, but there were enough twists and wrinkles on the old variation to keep it interesting for me.

also, Jouslain is a man who gambles for keeps. Keeping his own life hanging in the balance was a ballsy move. If those Tyrandia guys had been dumber, they'd all have been dead.

Arybatha gets a shot at redemption. Space battle ahoy!

Idris is so sexy. And they weren't very subtle with setting up that old man and his son as future obstacles... That and the Imperial Admiral who was quietly supporting the Tyrandia coup are likely to cause some trouble in the near future.

You kind of knew how it's going to end up when it was shown how much she worships Tytania. Though I expected her to sacrifice herself more directly but in retrospect this makes much more sense considering she was, after all, a wishful noble lady, not some heroine. I think it was all in all a pretty neat miniarc considering it didn't last any longer than that but still had an impact as if it had been a longer one. It certainly also increases the history documentary feeling that's in the background of the show sometimes, just like in LOGH, when they basically show backgrounds and people for events not yet even started in this manner.
