Ok just saw something in youtube comments and need confirmation.

Did Hitler WIN World War 2 in Kill la Kill?
Is that what the opening narration is about?

That sounds godlike.  A quick result found some discussion and quick agreement that it's true on crunchyroll forums.

Just a little. I guess sometimes the fashion sense overrules your sense of ethics. Happens to a lot of people, don't worry about it too much.

Yes, that's true within the show's logic.

So... I listened to the Gundam Build fighters Dub

and... the main character's voice is... hmmm...

It will take a LOT of getting used to. It is actually a high pitched young voice... but is so feminine sounding you could confuse his character for a girl.

And...

GOODNESS... its sooo weird!

But at least it isn't bad (so far)

That's a pretty universal thing, casting female VAs for preteen male characters, yanno?

Yes... usually they voice act so they are distinct. Heck some of the female voice actors can do a really convincing voice (I won't ruin people's fantasies right now)

Now you have me thinking about this.

They make sense if older MGs become steadily more emotionally stable, generating less and less energy (As they shift from young girls to immortal warriors), that they have humanity seeded across many planets, and that they prefer to destroy civilizations before unpredictable people with alien ways of thinking develop to the space empire stage and have any ability to threaten them.

They might not even want lots of excess energy. Perhaps politics (internal or with other civilizations) gets in the way of gathering 1000x more than they need to stave off entropy.

Eh, if you want a plausible excuse, an easy one would be to assume the bunnycats had actually tried that long term general harvesting plan already. It'd be easy to fit their actions as those of a group that has already tried alternatives, of a race that started out as emotive as humans, maybe even moreso, and had their current state explicitly due to an attempt at something that seemed more sustainable on the face of it. Their actions vis a vis harvesting other emotional types would make sense if trying that had lead to a gradual species wide degradation of the ability to feel, leading to how they are now.

Double bonus points, the bunnycats could actually be the time displaced remnants of a future magical girl society that did exactly that. They built the system, used it on themselves, and then had everything go to shit. It would explain a lot about the aesthetics involved :V

The latter half of the first bit is something I've considered, but the first bit I'd disagree with. Literary cliché aside, there's no reason for someone who's 2500 years old to be any less emotional than someone who is 25--and that's assuming that MGs' bodies actually age at all. If they don't, then they're still dealing with puberty-levels of hormone-driven emotional peaks even without interference/enhancement on the part of the coobies. Granted, wisdom can temper passion to some degree, but humans are fundamentally emotion-driven creatures and what we can observe among the very old doesn't really support the idea that age and experience will dull emotions.

As for the other, it is a valid concern for them to have... but if they're legitimately and provably benevolent and helped bootstrap humanity without attempting to exert any sort of imperial control, it seems more likely that jolly cooperation would persist. Better yet, as humanity (and whatever other species they've approached) develop and mature, the primary Incubator concern becomes the primary human concern as well-if there's something having a population of immortals would do, it's removing the lifespan-limited blinkers that have generally prevented us from exercising good long-term planning.

The last is probably the best explanation for why they don't ramp it up, but it doesn't explain why they don't use a more efficient and less evil method on a small scale.
