However, while other countries could boast such noble pretenses as freeing suffering nations, spreding true faiths or helping fellow neighbors, Japanese history books mostly tell how feudal lords scrambled for each other's lands. That's why I can't shake off the feeling that the interest for politics, war strategy and tactics in Japan is just something entirely different. Every second light novel writer in Japan imagines himself to be a talented analytic and creates his own world with his own map and his own Warring States.
The problem is, despite all the European trinkets, names and titles, they still create just another version of Japan and don't even bother to make it believable.
That's why a woman can attend military academy or become an ambassador, but complains how she can't persuade her brothers to listen to her because she is a woman.
That's why noble ladies wear crop-tops or Japanese school uniforms while princes wear pink jackets.
That's why, when nobody sees them, they comment on everything in slang that modern school students would use.
I'm afraid it was supposed to be funny.
However, you see... That don't impress me much.
P. S.
Learning perspective - low
This series is also heavily packed with difficult terminology (which would be written in complex kanji compounds), so I highly recommend to skip this anime as a possible source for studying Japanese, unless your goal is to specifically train in political and warfare vocab.
