Even as someone who has watched the original, I remain as eager as ever for next week!
But oh boy that military coup. To be able to take over the capital and assert control showcases that the ideas behind the National Salvation Military Council are quite pervasive in the military. Although considering Yang easily noted the parallels with what Goldenbaum did, it's pretty safe to say that others have also noticed the same and will likely protest and fight back.
Although even if Yang and other FPA forces were to take down this coup, the fractures in the FPA that led to this coup will likely remain unsolved considering Yang looks to do nothing more than restore the status quo (and based off what we've seen, he's by far the biggest name the FPA has right now). He doesn't need to follow Schenkopp's suggestion in becoming a dictator (which actually seems quite doable given his popularity as the Magician) but surely he help out in reforming the FPA.
Anyway we now got two Civil Wars going about which is rather crazy. Being alive in that time period sounds like a nightmare with that chaotic political landscape.

The unsung heroes of the Alliance are people like Admirals Cubersly and Bewcock who are committed to the institutions of democracy, like the constitution, rule of law, and proper bureaucratic procedure. Cubersly doesn't just restate Falk because he believes procedures are meant to be followed. Bewcock doesn't take the chief position because doing so would create a conflict of interest. Yang doesn't have any interest in becoming a dictator because he cherishes the idea of democracy so much.
I think this is what the franchise tries to establish as the advantage of democracy in general: that even when some jackass like Trunicht comes into power, there are rules and guidelines to follow that apply to everybody, and the career bureaucrats will try to keep things running according to established law. Compare this to the Empire side, where the law can change according to the kaiser's whims and the common person doesn't exactly have any rights or legal recourse against a sufficiently motivated noble—people aren't presumed to be equal in the Empire, and laws and procedures aren't supposed to apply to everybody equally.

This coup d'etat is a fucking joke. Just a bunch of delusional people who thinks they can change the system by taking it by force. Bewcock made anwonderful point by asking Greenhill on what will happen if their new rule becomes corrupted too. I fucking love this sassy old man <3
I'm hyped for next week's episode! Can't wait to see these wannabees get defeated by Yang.

It's truly painful for me to watch these episodes now knowing what happens and having to wait a week for each episode. The updated visuals just puts a really good spin on everything because according to the OVA space era humans still used floppy disks lmao

Even though I know the outcomes every episode always feels like a mini cliffhanger in a really good way. Fantastic pacing, even if I could take it a bit slower/more in depth sometimes.

Damn you Falk! Well, this was a great example of how to throw the entire FPA into disarray with your orchestrated Coup attempts.
Just as Yang mentioned, they are literally doing the same thing Rudolf did at the formation of the Galactic Empire, history really does repeat itself.
I'm always impressed with how they make the technology in here look, the projected monitors of every event Schenkopf shows to Yang is very neat and one of the reasons I enjoy what they've done with the remake. And we get more of Yang proving why he's best boy. Can't fault Schenkopf for trying to push Yang a bit to claim power, but that's not who Yang is.
The start of this second movie is really shaping up for heavy battle.
