Understood, I'll try and tone it down. I mentioned this in the Episode review thread, but I'm known within my social circles for tossing things out that others consider spoilers but I personally do not, as I find it hard to discuss a series without talking about the whole series and all of its adaptations when relevant. I really don't consider a general statement about a general something happening in the future to be a spoiler myself, but I can see why it would bother others.

I don't know about anyone else, but we? didn't need the prior info that Rory was very old to laugh at the scene. It was set up just fine for us, and as soon as the question was asked and you saw Rory's grin, you knew she was in for trouble.

You have to be joking, did you not read page 8 before making your post? My father served in WW2 and he did not stop listing to classical music just because the Nazi's used it.

I doubt that neither the author of the LN/manga nor the animators even knew it was used in WW2. Their only point of reference was Apocalypse Now, which the airborne troupes were emulating.

As to your last point you may have missed it when they said 500-600 attackers. Also since A1-Picturs has taken a R-17 manga and turned it into a PG-13 anime I can understand where you are getting your misconceptions from, if you want to see why the attacking army deserved every piece of led they received, find and read chapter 11 pages 8-12 in the manga (WARNING IT IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC WITH A R-17+ RATING) then ask your self if the JDSF went overboard. If they had just scared them away they would have just regrouped and attack when they saw the JSDF leave or they would go to another town or village and massacre them.

Was that a Royal WE? I thought that one could only speak for one's self, humm I guess I learned something new today. Also while it was about the chuckle the bigger point was it was lazy writing.

I think the 'we' was a general statement as in 'we the audience', not speaking for other people.

However, since then people do know about this issue, the more so artistic people. And Apocalypse Now is not an example of sensitivity about that either (authors could be either ignorant or just did not care). Many Jewish people (and others who know) cringe when they see that scene. Japanese artists should not emulate that case, in part especially because they are Japanese.

Speaking for myself, I think it was actually pretty funny that now is when that was revealed. As soon as Rori gave the reaction she did to being called a little girl I knew that something like this was going to be the case, and that was a pretty good way to show it IMO.

No, it's "we" as in my roommate and I, who watch all of our anime together.

The number of 500-600 attackers does not make a difference. Shooting at them from the wall would give exactly the effect I described: they would disperse in panic.

And no, I am not asking whether attackers deserved the lead or not; I am saying that JSDF has allowed too many defenders to die for no reason. (In addition, as result of how events are unfolded in the anime, there were excessive deaths among attackers, too, but it is not what I was writing about.)
