Again, I remember one of the last scenes with Friedrich when he told his chancellor Liechtenlade that he was well aware of Lohengram's plans and ambitions, and was simply trying to make HIS EMPIRE die as quickly and gracefully as possible, without much torment. What if Reinhard, not being sure of the future of his state, did something similar? Just remember that when he died, he bequeathed to his son to achieve those heights that he himself aspired to, and not just inherit them by birthright. It is possible that Reinhard was already planning to determine the future of the galaxy in the course of political competition.
That would be a very interesting development. By the way, if we consider Emil as the ghost of Kircheis (due to the general significance in the life of Reinhard and the approximate similarity), then someone similar to Reinhard could be present at this meeting. For some reason, I like to think that such a meeting could take place on Iserlohn, as happened in the first season, when Yang and Kircheis shook hands and exchanged prisoners of war.J
Whenever I see this scene I can't help but notice the spacing of the chairs suggests that four could sit at the table, in another time, in another place, they all could've been there.
It's not an unappealing image, but of course if Yang or Kircheis had to choose between that result and the one we got, you know which one either of them would choose. And they'd each do it in a heartbeat.
Like all things of nuance that people don't understand, Julian is suggesting constitutional monarchy to the Emperor. An Emperor who reigns, but does not rule, keeps a check on politicians who might have selfish motives in rising to the top through republican offices and seizing power, for all power in the end comes from the Emperor, or the electors of the populace. The limits on the Emperor's power constrains him from acting in tyranny, for his power has been vested in the Prime Minister, who is chosen along with representatives by the people that the Emperor reigns over. The cultural power and conditioning of this divided system works well in countries with this model (the UK, Japan, the Commonwealth). It's their version of separation of powers, and it nicely deals with the *cultural* desire to accumulate more power (How can you? The Emperor rules all. But he can't do anything without the people's consent.) You will never be better than others.
The model Julian is proposing is not the "modern" constitutional monarchy, basically a de facto republic with a powerless monarch. It's the 19th Century constitutional monarchy, based on a costitution wrote and given by the monarch himself (and not by people elected to do so), that keeps a considerable power (total control of armed forces, foreign policy, right to freelry nominate the Prime Minister, althought based on the composition of the representatives elected by the people). Given the german inspiration of the Empire, it's basically an idea to turn the 18th Century absolutistic Prussia into the 19th Century constitutional (but still heavily controlled by the military) German Empire.
Ahah, but what is menacing the Empire is exactly what rotten the Goldenbaum dynasty : you can't control what will happen to the following leaders. They will be autocratic emperors, without the "genius" of Reinhard, and with no counterpower or legitimacy. From what i have read from Yoshiki Tanaka, he trusts the idea of the great "dictator" in a antique roman dimension : a great man, which legitimacy comes from his exploit and not a bloodline, solving the problems during a short time, and then leaving slowly a healed democracy continue. Julian Mintz is creating this democratic transition, avoiding the Lohengram to be like the Goldenbaum. I don't support at all this idea ahah, but what a great anime 😩
They are sitting as if there's supposed to be two more chairs on the other side
kirsheis and yang
ow

literally hit like a train
I like how calm Reinhard is. Like a person that knows he's going to be gone soon but has accepted it.

Meanwhile in the alternate dimension, we get to see Yang and Kircheis are the ones who are chatting on the table while Reinhard and Julian are dead.
That would be a very interesting development.

As he missed a part of his heart
One of the best scenes in LOGH for me

Have you been to anywhere in the UK that wasn't one of the tourist spots in London?

Yeah i think i prefer Real Goldenbaum style monarchy
@@TheButterMinecart1 To be fair, though, UK, Commonwealth, and Japan are still decently well-off countries compared with a lot of the world.
When I was 19 I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I could live to be a hundred..
The ideas he presented to Reinhard were exactly the things that caused the fall of the Free Planets Alliance.
Wow that's deep never realize that, but this remind me of the conversation that happens between Rainhard and yang

Britain runs with almost the same principle , I didn't see its downfall though.

Wow, may I ask which platform you used to watch this? Video quality looks good.
The entire series is on HiDive

In the end, constitutional monarchy is the best. ❤
best at leading to fascism
What is anime about ? Is it good?
Legend of the galactic heroes ... and yes it's the best anime ever made (no exaggeration)
Its the highest rated in MAL (last I checked.) It really isnt an exaggeration it is one of the greatest. It's probably an understatement actually.
Best in animanga
The things the show talks about are still relevant to this day.
It's better than 98% of any fiction out there, not just anime.
