After watching the TV and movies back to back I managed to grasp most of the plot and details and think G-Reco is a deeply interesting story about how conflict and war is informed and justified by the grand narratives that different cultures perpetuate amongst themselves and how those narratives that justify war must be overcome by crossing cultural boundaries and taboos.
The main example of this is the narrative around the origin and control of the photon batteries shifting as the main characters cross from the territory of one faction to another. First photon batteries are controlled by capital tower, then it turns out capital tower merely distributes the batteries that arrive from Towasanga space who actually produces them, then Towasanga turns out to be a middle man for Venus globe who actually produces the batteries, and you see the pretext the faction leaders use to wage war become muddied and break down in the process until they are reduced to mere greed and ambition.
Theres also the worlds religious aspect, how the divine "promised land" from the perspective of earthnoids is space, and how its the other way around for spacenoids, and yes, the shift in Bellris motivation as the person he was fighting for goes from his love interest to his sister, which causes him to re-examine his purpose within the war.I say that but does anyone understand what Cumpa Rusita's motivation was? He thought spacenoids were rotting politically and spiritually from a lack of war but he detests earthnoids for being primitive war mongers? Did anyone make a connection I fail to see?
