Victory Gundam so far: a fascist insurgency has been waging war all across the earth, and the Federal Government is too inept or too weak to stop it. Said fascist government has been using the guillotine as a tool to terrorize earth's population in addition to giant robots. (1/n)

As a result of this endless war, a civilian arms company has built and armed what amounts to a militia formed of ex-Federation soldiers and anti-fascists as well as civilians that just happened to be in the warzone to combat the fascist insurgency. (2/n)

I wish I was making the part about the guillotine up: (fin)

It's really sending me that these fascists have giant robots and yet their primary tool of terror is the guillotine. They have a whole production about it when they're beheading people.

Update: since episode 21, the civvies have made it to space and commandeered a derelict Feddie battleship and have waged a running war against the fascists. They've also lamented the feddies EVERYTIME they show up to "assist" in battle.

Also, mobile suit sized motorcycles?
