| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I see the similar parallels being drawn from both sides now. Reinhard is a fast mover. Commander of half the entire armed forces in only 10 years? And to top it off a goal to eventually topple the Kaiser and rule the universe? Can't say he doesn't have lofty ambitions. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| I guess Yang is just plain unmotivated. Right? We don't know his motives yet for joining the army. At this point all we know is that he wants out, with money. 3/5 |

| I'd buy his sister for $10 also >_< but did we really need this:  seriously? :( And the falling on the piano bit has already gotten old. Interesting back story though. I'm liking this show, its a little better than Aura Battler Dunbine |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
Wasted_Life said: I'd buy his sister for $10 also >_< Maybe with galactic inflation that was like 10 billion dollars. Sure didn't look impressive, though. :-P Seems like the Empire is a better place to live than the Free Alliance, or whatever it was called, from what we've seen. At least the Empire is open about it's oppressive totalitarian nature. |
| Jesus, Reinhard was a creepy little bastard. He would have killed that other kid, too. D: |

| Now that backstory sure was cheesy...'''''' |
| well...cheesy it was, but remember, this is an OLD series. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| oldest series ive seen but it's pretty good. character development is always a plus :up: |
Plate said: Lol, although I would have to agree. :/Jesus, Reinhard was a creepy little bastard. He would have killed that other kid, too. D: But I'm loving the fact that we're getting backstories earlier, since there are many episodes to go, it'll hopefully lay the foundations for some interesting character development later on. |

Ranivus said: And the falling on the piano bit has already gotten old. At this time (80s) it was just oh so dramatic xD |
darth_lex said: character development is always a plus :up: Always. When I was Reinhard's age, I never thought of pulling a rock on a kid, or going for a shot to the nuts. Also I think it's cute that Siegfried's got a crush on Annerose. Wouldn't blame him though if you would compare her to a bunch of the other women on Odin, assuming they're every bit as stuck up and sheltered as Reinhard believes. |
 |
| Reinhard sure was kind of violent as a kid and many good political and military leaders have been violent kids. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with overflowing amount of talent and lack of power to use all that talent and energy; maybe that's what drives those kids crazy?! |

Ranivus said: but did we really need this: seriously? :( Haha I laughed when I saw that part, it was just so awkward looking. XD As for the episode I really enjoyed it, It gave a nice little backstory to Reinhard. |
| damn wtf where is the opening :( roflmao i loved the scene when Reinhard slapped his classmate XDDDDDDDDDDD that was 'violent' and awesome also X)))))) |
| Reinhard is incredibly ambitious 0_o |

Weird if so haha anyway this was a good episode |
| Wow, so Reinhard really is the complete opposite of Yang. He also appears to have a massive sister complex. |

| fking filler -.- |

| ^If you think this episode is a filler, I suggest you to stop watching LoGH right now, as I don't think you would like this anime. LoGH is full of detailed, long explanations in building a character, so they need to explain what drives Reinhard for such ambition, and his views of his empire. |
 |
| Nah, it was an unnecessary episode. You can notice it when you see one. |

clannad4ever said: i still don't understand why all the characters act so god damn formal,they barely show any emtion at all! and don't tell me this was impossible in the 80's,i've seen grave of the fireflies I think its the culture that is reflected in their behavior. You'll notice the FPA act differently, because they come from a different background with different values. With the empire people, their behavior, mannerism etc reflects old fashioned aristocratic values and sensibilities. Unless you think the FPA are formal as well, I believe that explains it. |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |

| I love how Rienhard kicks that kid in the balls and proceeds to bash his head in with a rock, I couldn't stop laughing. Good episode though |
| This was a boring episode... Higurashi got nothing on Rienhard. |

| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Reinhard sure is strong-minded. I can't believe I almost failed to notice the famous ''It'll warm you up'' scene. Also, Annerose confirmed for bro tier. |
| "This Forest isn't going to reveal all its secrets for the likes of you." |
| Nice to get some backstory.. But man, that was camp! xD |
cantius said: lol at the bitchslap. THIS |
 |
| Nice to see some back story on them, and to see why Reinhardt wants to become the Kaiser. He was also a badass kid. Good thing he had Siegfried with him though. |
| lol bitchslap and then he kicks the bully in the balls later in the episode. xD Reinhard and Sieg are so gay for each other. Pretty depressing to see little Reinhard cry like that I admit I felt something welling up inside me when he did, but I didn't particularly feel sad or shed a tear though. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| siscon alert |
"A detoxified Akihabara would just be another electronic town!"  |
| This is awesome so far. Reinhard was a little badass. I'm enjoying this slice of life segment as much as the tactics. |
| lol what? A filler episode? TROLOLOLOLOLOL. Sorry. I just...can't take anyone seriously who doesn't understand basic plot structure. Maybe go back and graduate grade eight and you might be able to understand.... |
| Some really nice development for Reihnard and Sieg. The characters in this show are really great. They are all shaping up to be 3 dimensional characters. |
 |
| absolutely great episode, and interesting how in Golden Wings they made Reinhard far less aggressive in his young age - the kick to the balls never happened and also the shooting the blaster at the sky and running into that party... |
| Jessica: "Secretary of Defense! Where were you?! Where were you, who glorify the war dead?! Where is your family?! I offered my fiancée as a sacrifice. So where is your family, you who preach the necessity of citizens' sacrifice?! Are you practicing what you preach?!" Reinhard: "What are they doing? Although many are dying on the battlefield, isn't this just like a festival? Their relatives don't go to war since they're high-ranking nobles. In the end, that's why the high-ranking nobles know nothing of other people's pain." I love the parallels between episode 3 and 4. The Empire and Alliance couldn't be more different superficially, but ultimately they're just the same. |

| Not sure if Sig is actually loyal to Reinhard because he likes him or if it's because his sister said to get along w/ him ... Now I really can't tell. |

Fasces349 said: Thus far, I'm disappointed, for an anime that is so highly regarded by most of its viewers, the beginning has been downright terrible. This is one of the cheesiest, worse done back stories I have seen. I hope it gets better. Anime is rated 4/10 thus far. Haha, and now this show is one of his fav. Pirating_Ninja said: Not sure if Sig is actually loyal to Reinhard because he likes him or if it's because his sister said to get along w/ him ... Now I really can't tell. Its both. |
| 2 kids can carry a gun (blaster) and easily run into a party for the nobles... Sieg obviously is doing all this for Annerose, not sure Reinhard realise it or not |
| Wow so Lelouch is a total rip off, my anime world is shattered. |
| In this episode we learned how to deal with bullies: Step 1: Kick the bully square in the balls. Step 2: Beat the bully over the head with a rock. I hope we'll see some lasers next episode. This one was pretty boring. |
  |
| Ok episode, It probably gets much better soon. Reinhard and Siegfried seem a little like a gay couple which I found kinda funny. |
