So i was finally bored enough to continue watching Shuumatsu no Izetta or the Last Witch Izetta.
To be honest i wasnt expecting much of it anymore, it started out as this weird anime about An Independent Pseudo-Tyrol being protected by a Witch who was riding an anti-tank rifle instead of a broom and fended off a WWII-German Kaiserreich.
However with Episode 5 things started picking up immensely. Suddenly there were plots within plots, child soldiers being used by the "good" Eylstadtians and then later executed by their very own gestapo.
America shows up later too, in the form of The United States of Atlantia and the Republic of Louisiana hinting at an American Civil War which didnt end the way it was supposed to. And while being first shown as another "good" faction they very quickly show a much darker side.
I've reached Episode 9 now and once you get over the stupid thing with a magical girl using lances to destroy Panzer IIs its actually quite enjoyable. The witch herself not so much, but the stories, Conspiracies and Plots developing around it much more.
So Louisiana, is that a former French Colony or really the CSA?
Also is it just me or can we expect that Duke/Earl whatever to do some fiendish backstabbing later on?
5 bucks say that the white witch is the Original One, revived by Secret Germanian Tech, now intent on destroying the Eylstadtians which delivered her to a witch burning.
Also Also, i see a German/Eylstadt Alliance of necessity against the Atlantians in the future...
EDIT: called it.
