| This got to be one of the BEST Zipang episodes. |
 Finally, Takumi shows his true vision. A new country that is neither what the current past is nor the future one but his ideal country. ps - Zipang is an antiquated name of Japan and thus title is now completely being justified now :) The tension is rising  So now both motive are clearly contrary so will future Japan (Mirai ship) fight older one? (Yamato ship) The teaser seems like it. |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| This show is better than I thought. |

| I was getting a bit bored of this show and theres too many things annoying me mainly regarding the way people behave and all the yammering on about morality and "doing the right thing" yet they STILL dont really have a fucking clue what they are doing. Most of the time the action of the entire ship is decided on the whims of Kadomatsu or someone else with no clear goal in mind and when they run into trouble its like "oh no, what do we do?! do we fight, do we not fight?"MAKE UP YOUR MIND BEFOREHAND. What has irritated me about this episode in particular though is how this mere Lt. Commander is acting like he runs the place and making all this big fleet decisions and now he's decided he's going to turn Japan into a new country? WITH WHAT AUTHORITY?? Who does he think he is? He already quit being a military officer. Good luck convincing the whole of imperial Japan to turn its back on the emperor and to change its name and all this other shit. I'm sorry but the plot is full of holes and the writing stinks. Also we're at episode 13 and Mirai still hasnt done anything cool with its advanced technology. |
| One of the best military dramas of all time. This is "The Final Countdown" from the 1970s, on steroids and told from the Japanese side, with much deeper implications. Brilliant execution of a familiar plot theme, but never boring. |
| Took me a while to realize it, but there is no way the land team should be able to communicate over radio to either the Mirai or the Yamato with the set up shown. 25 miles puts the the points below the horizon, so that means line of site communications won't work. A man portable radio is also unlikely to be able to have the power needed to send a legible radio communication 25 miles. There are no satellite communications available at that point in time. The only means they could use would be HF radio communication, but that would require an extensive antenna. This doesn't take away from the show, but I almost never have a chance to actually use the knowledge I gained by learning about radio theory. |
| Figures that Zipang is a name of a country, turns out it's ideal Japan that Kusaka foresees, and in order to realize his ambition, drastic measures have to be taken, on that requires Yamato and her fleet to slaughter the marines on the island, changing the victors for this battle to be the Japanese's. I fear that if this were to be true, you can forget about a couple of atomic bombs, the USA will sprinkle that A-Bomb all around the nation. As a side note, I don't particularly like how the missile stayed intact, it should either be crushed by the kinetic energy or detonated so that the US army at the time won't have the chance to obtain some of its techs. |

| How is defeating the American landing supposed to help get rid of the militarist politics of Japan? If anything they'll be congratulating themselves on how their plans to grab the resources they wanted and resist any counterattacks is working. Seems like humbling the Japanese military and making Tokyo worried about defeat harder and faster than happened in reality (where they were prepared to lose 1/4 of the country's population resisting an invasion) is what's needed. |
| finally appears the term Zipang and its origin!!! Zipango, the dream land!!! kekeke |
| another annoying episode |
