Big Leg posted:twins being badass pilots Just an underplayed aspect of the series is just how low-key hosed up the United Planets are that they have 15-year olds who, despite (or perhaps because of) being children of a deeply respected admiral, get to go be two out of three fighter pilots in live firefights for an underequipped, antiquated, and outgunned warship on behalf of a faceless war machine, after just a few hours in a simulator proving their genius. Very Tomino-esque, really.

I love a good show with an unalloyed Good message, that maybe peace is a good thing and societies need nonconformists in order to evolve and advance. (At first I couldn't figure whether Vice Admirals Statler and Waldorf were referring obliquely to evolution or a genuine sociological phenomenon among tribes of apes, but I guess it doesn't matter.) Another underplayed but omnipresent thing I enjoyed about Tylor is that even while the conflict is portrayed as "republic vs. empire", the UP are hardly pure and are just as imperialistic at heart. (Note to myself: gotta rewatch LoGH too.) We really don't know anything about the governance of the UP; the highest-up the chain we see are the two admirals in charge of executing the war. But you can look at Mifune's old-school 'samurai' affectations and Fuji's ascendance due to being a careerist climber and understand well enough what sort of dynamics are at play.
