| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A nice starting episode. There were glimpses of the past in the LoGH anime but it's good to see a fleshed out story on how Kircheis and Reinhard started their military careers out. Reinhard's entrance into the fight was a bit overdramatic though. It made me think he's going DBZ or trying to get the Leroy glow.  |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Awesome OP. Awesome ED. Yay for more LOGH! |
 |
| I thought the fight entrance was a bit unbecoming of LoGH as well.. However, I'm definitely happy to be revisiting LoGH! I'm glad they made these Gaidens. So far so good. |
| Wasnt that flashback scene at the end with Reinhard asking Kircheis to go to military school with him a bit redundant or a plot hole? Didnt he already tell Kircheis in a flashback in the OVA (and mediocre 2nd movie) that they would get his sister back by usurping the ruler? You'd think that Kircheis would be already aware of Reinhard going to military school and that he would already be joining him. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| a slow start...and we already know how this is going to turn out, but its fun to watch it this way I think. And LOL @ super saiyen Reinhard -Another 'potential' rape vicitim saved by Reinhard-Kircheis team!! WOOOOO!

kerlyenai said: God, the scene where the old %§@* of a kaizer walks into Anne-Rose's room was absolutely nightmarish! I haven't felt that much anger and anguish while watching an anime episode for quite a while. This. Good way to start the gaiden, Super Saiyan Reinhard made me lol |
 |
| Great start to what looks to be a great OVA. |
| How perfect for Vegeta's seiyuu to go Super Saiyan before ever doing Vegeta. |
| Did the Emperor raped her? Or was that just Sieg's imagination? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

That sorta thing still happens everyday all over the world EDIT: English law only accepted the concept of rape in marriage in 1990. Before that, a husbend could do it whenever he wanted, without the wife's say. Though Annarose's situation is worse, cuz she was more like a concubine than a wife |

| nice start..I felt sorry for Annarose =.= Good to see more of Reinhard & Kircheis <3 |
| Hehe, the supersayan Reinhard was indeed hilarious ^^ But besides that it was a very good episode. Although it's been a few months since I watched the main series the feeling is already back. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Yay more Kircheis! I've watched Golden Wings before so I was worried they would do that shit again, I was relieved they were faithful to the main OVA this time, like the animation and some other story details I've noticed from the main OVA. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| As compared to Golden Wings, this actually felt like LotGH. Aside from the aforementioned super saiyen Reinhard scene, everything felt "right." Of course, I can't go judging this series just like that. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I finally started watching this, and it seems like a pretty good start. Now that I think about it, I don't think we ever saw Reinhard in a physical fight in the main series (except when he was a child and he beat some kid with a rock, I think). |

Was about to crush his balls with a rock, if I do recall? |
| Absolutely brilliant. I must've been smiling the entire way, or maybe it was because Kircheis was alive again, lol. These are military men who've gone through basic training, of course there are going to be fights or minor brawls within the lower ranks. I expect it. After seeing all of Reinhard's strategic fights in space, this was a simplistic approach to reinventing Reinhard's character. Didn't underwhelm the series or even dull the pace at all, in fact I loved the fact that Reinhard and Kircheis were badass brawlers back in their days. Yang's rise to fame didn't have much to do with his physical aptitude, so it's a great change seeing some fighting with main characters. |
 |
| Like the series so far, was sad that I had finished the main series, and usually don't go for side stories or prequels . . . But glad I did with this. |
 |
| This OVA is a dream come true. |
 |
| Pretty lovely start I must say, I really wonder what this prequel story will offer us! |
 |
| After the lack of quality anime available this season I thought a re-watch of LOGH would be in order. This episode, although not as gripping as the main series, has all the elements of why I love that saga. I had forgotten how badazz Reinhardt could be when he set his mind to it. |

| Is this the MAL entry for the first Gaiden? Major Hokuto no Ken vibes from Siegfried Kircheis's and Reinhard's intervention on the rapist soldiers. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| That was a nice first episode, I think this series will be enjoyable just for the reasob that it's more LoGH. I loved that remark Reinhard gave his superior, he's certainly digging his own grave. |
| Nice first episode,I'm looking forward to more.Reinhard is as ambitious as ever. "Kircheis,you are the type of person who finds beauty even in trash" That made me laugh quite a bit. |
 |
| While it's just the first episode, this does feel extremely promising. Great episode! If the pacing doesn't change and the narrator stays more in the background (like in this episode), this prequel may very well be more enjoyable to me than the main series. Hopefully this will be a good series on it's own, and not a good series just because it's the prequel to LOGH. So far, it seems like it'll be the former. |
| Lord Reinhard and Kircheis, in their first adventure in the battle front, but they have two enemis, the alience and the Imperie!!!! |
| Reinhard embracing his inner Vegeta lol It's nice to see Kircheis back too |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| Disappointed by the use of flashbacks compared to the manga's OAV (I would have preferred a "childhood eps") but it is starting faster this way. 4/5 |
| Super Saiyan Reinhard was a pretty interesting sight to behold, not something would've excepted from this series; but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think it was pretty cool. And as usual, the Nobles are assholes and want to plot against the "blond brat." |
| Instead of becoming a teacher to bring out the best in many children, Kirchies followed Reinhard and made him the very best he could be. |
 |
| Reinhard taking the opportunity. Great start, this has the same feeling to it as the main series. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Good start episode, I feel like this just is something that should be watched at least mid way the main show, it seems that Logenheim and Kirchies already had to battle corruption since the beggining |
| oh, I missed you so much Kircheis. |
