So the battle between the two fortresses have begun with both of them exchanging cannon fire. Now the Galactic Empire has begun the process of capturing the Iserlohn from within while keeping the enemy's outer defenses distracted and in disarray. Now they face heavy resistance from the Rosen Ritter squad.

I found myself screaming in joy because of the beautiful animation and the strategy involved. I think this adaptation will do the original battle justice, if it keeps heading towards the direction it is going.

That ending gave me chills!

Olivier Poplin was in this episode, and even spoke and did things. That alone makes it a 5 out of 5 episode. Best character.

Solid episode- They really notched up the action. Loved the cliffhanger with the Rosenritter. That said, I prefered the armours they had in the classic OVA

Sweating for 20 minutes straight was not very pleasant I must say. They didn't need to stress me out that much. Anyway, I think I have a crush on Olivier and Walter.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

Space fortresses are tough lol

Empire outsmarted the defense systems, of course they knew what to do since they build it. Rosen Ritter, I hope they can get the upper hand in this, but I don't think that will end very well. Karl Gustav Kempff can't shake off the deathflag above him.

Let's see if Iserlohn survives until Yang arrives, will it still be operateable?

oh man this battle is awesome an also its really different from the old OVA counterpart, that being said seeing to giant space fortresses shooting giant lasers at each other is something that i havent seen in any other anime before

i like the rosenritter armor design, they are really different from the panzer grenadiers

The beginnings of this fortress versus fortress battle starting off with each side trading blows. Like a boxing match where both fighters aren't even trying to block and just trade heavy punches to see which falls first. Each seeing that neither would give in with just blasts from their main cannon the real mission begins. Kempf and Muller get the upper hand for the Empire right away. Completely out maneuvering the alliance forces at every step. The Empire did build Iserlohn originally so it makes sense they'd know all it's strengths and weaknesses. Knowing exactly how to beat all the stout defenses the fortress has like the satellites, the smaller cannons, and the liquid metal armor. All thwarted with relative ease by the imperials. Julian with the other pilots trying their best to stop the ships from attacking at will but they're too outnumbered to stop the invading portion of the imperial fleet. Schönkopf and the fellow Rosen Ritter the only things stopping the imperial forces from running rampant inside the fortress

Great episode, I was nervous from start to finish.

I was annoyed by Caselnes' inability to command, he's a rear admiral he shouldn't be such easy prey.

I have a feeling that Merkatz and Schönkopf will be the key point whether Iserlohn can resist or not.
We'll see...
And who knows if Julian won't do something big here?

Let's wait... and cry.

Dang, it still blows me away, how much the characters in this series, feel so used, to thousand people dying, that they can just move on immediately. The first fired cannon by Galactic fortress makes 4k deaths; the Alliance realizes, moves on, then goes to counterattack. ┐(⊙_⊙)┌

Excited to see more of the combat of Rosen Ritters, I already like how badass they are in the original, hoping they're still as badass in this new version.(●´ω`●)

This was a nice episode, finally some action. However, it was a bit difficult to care for what was going on, since if Yan or Blonde are not involved, it can make it difficult to care about the battles.

The Death Star is causing a lot of damage. I don’t know but I feel like something could happen to Kempf during the battle and also vice Cazellnu has also risen some death flags or maybe I’m just overthinking.

The empire has the upper hand since they know the fortress better than anyone, but it seems the alliance has an ace up their sleeve with the Rosen Ritter

Everything is in motion, the battle is intense. Empire's plan is going real well so far. It's upto the rosen ritters now to stop them and halt their plan while Yang arrives.
