I really liked how they fleshed out the interior of LOGH a lot more than in the classic OVA. You get to see more of what makes such a huge space station tick

The old saying does say fight fire with fire. That seems to be the line of thinking the head of the science and technology division of the Empire is going for. Take an old abandoned fortress the nobles left behind in the battle against them, repurpose and refurbish it so that they can use it against the captured Isherolhn. Its not a bad plan but it does hinge entirely on using that new warp technology the chief scientist created. Which honestly considering he's never done anything of note his whole career I'm doubtful he actually developed that warp technology at all. Who knows if it will actually work. But its worth a try and could be to Reinhard benefit either way. Kempf finally getting his chance to reenter the battlefield after having to train recruits. Not put in this position by Reinhard but by Oberstein since he can't let Mittermeyer or Reunthal gain anymore power to possibly depose Reinhard. Oberstein is over here playing 3D chess while Reinhard is shutting his emotions off following the death of Kircheis. Its not gonna end well for anyone. Yang meanwhile is on easy street living in Iserholhn with Julian. Things are nice and slow with the millions of military and civilians living in the fortress peacefully. Can't stay like that forever as Reinhard and the Empire prepare to make their first moves.

I'm not sure if Reinhard is being emotionally manipulated by that engineer or if he just liked the plan and wants to make use of him before disposing of him. I just can't watch Oberstein scheme without my blood boiling, it's not that I don't understand why he's doing what he's doing, but I don't like his methods.

I can tell that this episode is foreshadowing, and I don't like the thoughts that are crossing my mind. I don't want to say much, but this author doesn't hold back and their style isn't very conventional, if I may say so myself. To put it simply, I'm more afraid of internal attacks now that I am afraid of Reinhard's.

I can listen to Yang talk all day. While what he says is brief, his ideas are very straight forward.

Another great episode.

So the Empire is building another fortress to oppose Iserlohn. I l already don't like the engineer's plan, its too ambitious and it lacks finesse.

They aren't building another one, they're already using one that already exists - the same one used by the nobles in the civil war last season

I still can't believe they got Yara Yuusaku to voice Schaft! It has to be some kind of in-joke (because his presentation was full of rambling).

Oberstein is smart to keep the two admirals from gaining power and keep Reinhard at the top. Then neither will be powerful enough to challenge Reinhard and keep his position as well. Or maybe he wants to be the one in power.

To conquer the Death Star, we're going to throw another Death Star just in front of it!

Also, having a military fortress also act like a city full of civilians sounds like such a bad idea, especially with interestellar travel where I imagine soldiers wouldn't struggle so much to return to their own planets when not on duty.

The good old Death Star vs Death Star. I wonder why Lucas never thought about that.

I just love how Yang talks about Julian, he truly wants Julian to have a normal teenage life. Yang has Julian already, so I don't think he needs more kids at the moment since they're still at war. It's astonishing to see how his own government is targeting him.

Death flags for Kempf. I hope he can return back to his family. Trouble is brewing for Yang too it seems. He should really take better care of himself.
