| -This is a really good looking anime imo. Annerose is pretty nicely drawn. The setting gave me flashbacks of Rose of Versailles... -Hmm, so the federal republic turned elected a president into god-emperor of mankind. No, that doesn't sound like anyone I can think of... -I swear, I keep hearing the same German names in anime; Reinhard, Jigfried, Kircheis; Rudolf is maybe less common -Reinhard seems like a Char Aznable |
| The elegant composure coolness of this episode is top notch! 5/5. |
 |
| I’m happy that they gave an entire episode to explain the relationship between the two. |
 |
| Dammit, the story with Reinhard's sister always makes me cry! I have to say the remake is shaping up nicely. I wish the editing was a bit better though. The stuff from ep. 3 should come before the stuff from ep. 1 and 2 - especially ep. 1 might feel confusing to some people. It would work even better if they made several movies, giving them more length for certain chapters. Like Unicorn Gundam, where the longer OVAs felt like a better experience compared to the TV edit. |

I'm probably over thinking it but Annerose looked really cold and calculating during the one on one talk with Seig. ↓↓↓ Notice the squint? Perhaps her time with the Kaiser has taught her a few things and her being a nice girl is all an act. Also my crack pot theory, Reinhard wants to become the Emperor and marry his sister...but I don't think this series will venture into Game of Thrones territory. |
 |
 The police force look more prussian like than the previous adaptation. |
| Reinhardt's introduction was very transfer-studentish xD Oberstein seems nicer (tactical flattery) than in the previous adaptation and more "hiddenly depressed" I hope this series and movies sells well so they can adapt all ten books :c |
Ulquiorra said: In the original OVA this scene was much more tragic, his father was absolutely destroyed, they were already running into financial issues and then the Kaiser simply decided he would take away Annerose because she was cute, the money he got from the "deal" was like poison, he spent all of it on alcohol and eventually died.What kind of father would sell his own daughter like that, the bastard I'm also sad they skipped the bed room scene, it made this entire situation much, much more serious. SO he's like a honey badger, Supreme Leader don't care, Supreme Leader just gets what he wants. xPlezierx said: Down with elitism, this adaptation has been good so far. But I guess nostalgia trumps all...I feel like this is going to be nine twelve-episode seasons of episode-per-episode remakes of the original OVA, and I don't think I like it. You're probably better of watching the old version. I hope things get better, but I really doubt they will... |

| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
Careful with BBCode grammar rules there. In order for a spoiler toggle to appear, an end to it must be clearly marked, as shown above. In the original post, you used "[/quote]" instead of "[/spoiler]". |

| Honestly, the pacing and all is quite good so far in my opinion...which scares me, since they are only making the equivalent of 2 seasons. I really wonder how this is going to play out, maybe choosing a point the middle of the story to stop, or going for an original ending? |

| "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." |
| Good episode, always loved this backstory and it was handled well here. Best girl Oberstein makes an appearance too; no getting over the awfully bland chara designs, but I'm fine with his voice. |

| Sieg Zeon! |
| I'm just happy that Annerose was handled well. She seemed very appealing in the same way the novel made her appear. |
Aure0lin said: okay im sold this adaptation can't be anything worse than good if this is what they manage to do even after compressing quite a bit They didn't actually compress anything just yet. The old adaptation is the one that rearranged many scenes and further expanded things (events and character roles) from the books. Whether this is better with the "filler" content or not is up to you to decide though (tbh I loved pretty much all of it in both OVAs and books, and this adaptation is being quite faithful to the latter). |

| Wow! What a change of context compared to the old LOGH. Interesting episode, on this there is no doubt, and shrewd on the fact of having maintained that parallelism with the previous anime series, in the idea of showing the similarity between the empire and the alliance regarding the way to administer political power. Interesting is the initial part in which the past is described, but so far the Iserlohn fortress has not always been mentioned, without ever showing it, something that has immediately happened in the old anime series. I am happy that the character of Paul von Oberstein was immediately presented, even if it is a little different from the original, but not about the face, although I was interested in the strangeness of his eyes. I agree! X°°D WiseMachine said: Good episode, but... Having finished Violet Evergarden recently, this episode looked unbelievably bland to me (in terms of colour palette, storyboarding, lighting, character designs, etc.). LOGH has such a strong narrative, just imagine if it also had a strong visual director (and a big ass budget) behind it. Ok, asking for the entirety of LOGH to be adapted with KyoAni production values does not sound particularly feasible, but one can always dream... I give you reason, a similar series, deserved a quality in the drawings and a variety of colors much more detailed in the first case and much wider in the shades in the second. |

| Will never watch the 110 OVA but i'm enjoying this thoroughly, hope it keeps it up. Gotta give Production IG kudos for the art as well, simplistic but beautiful to look at. |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I feel like new Oberstein's depiction is more accurate to the book... he's supposed to be kind of big and the old anime made him very scrawny (I still like that portrayal though). Overall, I like the pacing of the anime so far. I just feel like Reinhard and Kircheis's relationship isn't as strong in this adaptation. It feels more business-like/ professional lmao. |
| The introduction about the formation and creation of this great universal fight was short but effective!!! |
| Got a lot of important backstory from here. Hope Yang gets the same treatment next ep! |

Reinhard and Sieg are bishounen even in the novel Reinhard was described as like a doll that has a skin of just like a porcelain. I know. But I was talking about the Kuroko no Basket-esque shape |
| New Oberstein is going to take some getting used to. Little Seig in love with Annerose... awe. LMFAO OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! ... i'm crying, that is just too funny... (five minutes later) can't breathe, laughing too hard! that Tanya pic LOLOLOL! |

| As for Reinhard appearing to be a villain to some users here: This will get more clearly later in the story. He has just different views/approaches than Yang. He is ambitious. (Yang just doesn't care about anything.) But they both aren't villains. Reinhard just hates the nobility and the emperor for taking away his sister. And people getting promoted just because they are nobility. Stuff like that. As for Yang and the magician: I just read chapter 4 of the novel, volume 1 (English translation): |
| Favourite episode so far! I remember watching this in the originals and I feel more immersed with the remake. The world building is much better here. I love how some men are still complaining about the art. Lmao. Y'all insecure. I don't watch moe blobs and complain that they're moe. It's a stylistic choice. It's not as if Yang and Reinhard are stripping or showing off their abs. |
| Yes, intelligence operatives are inherently shifty. Regardless, the Imperial noble and commoner duo has an intriguing background. Of course, their shared goal is even more remarkable. |
| Annerose's character is actually a lot better in this than the old series. They really capture the beauty of her character. Her voce actor is wonderful and it really shows how loving she is toward Reinhard and Kircheis. Loved this episode! This series will be great as long as they are able to make the plot come out properly. |
robiu013 said: Disappointed. Reinhard didn't get to bash the other kids head in with a rock in this version. :( Honestly that was my feeling too. 0/10 RIP good scene I always thought that part was a really interesting display of who Reinhard was. Was very Ender Wiggin too. |
| i liked Oberstein new character design, he is still the king of poker face kinda wish they gave more info about the Goldenbaun dinasty, the empire an the free planets alliance though, the old OVAS did a good job at that |
 |
| YES! LET'S TAKE OVER THE GODDAMN UNIVERSE!! |
| So pretty lovely character development, looking forwards to see what will happen next! |
 |
| Great episode and I like the background story and I love that line rule the universe but goddam the names are hard to say in this anime |
 |
| this episode bringing back memories... poor annerose... can't wait for oberstein to make his presence more felt. excellent re-adaption of the reinhard-kircheis homolust scenes. |
| Oberstein is here!!... And, I never expected to say this but, he looks hot lol. And he's voiced by Junichi Suwabe, really interesting choice! Annerose looks beautiful as well. Everyone looks gorgeous in this anime lmao (although I really REALLY miss Kircheis' original design) About the backstory... I think the OVA did it better. |
