| Fuck, that was depressing. :( |
Baman said: I have yet to see any other anime portray grief this realistic. The varied reactions were all brilliantly portrayed and seemed much more real than the usual melodrama grief you see in other series. At this point I'm not surprised, I expect mastery in every area by LOGH, and much like Yang Wenli it does not disappoint. Truly Flawless and should be the guidebook for anime that want true meaning and value in their contents. Generally grief is handled poorly in other anime, striking the right balance and atmosphere and weighing its realism and impact is incredibly hard. Notice how brilliantly it handles Frederica's grief. She initially handles it stoically eventhough you can tell she is devastated. Later on in the episode when she momentarily breaks down, you can't help but pull for her and feel her plight. blue_hitomi said: I think I shed more tears than for the previous episode; the reactions of everyone was so realistic (though sometimes suprising, for instance I would have never thought to see Cazernes crying). The choice of Frederica and Julian as political and military successors is logical if based on the hope that everyone will follow them for the sake of Yang memory. Murai's moral sacrifice is very admirable to drain the people would be deserters or traitors later on with him. Can't wait to see Lohengramm reaction ; he has lost what whas maybe his only reason to live or at least to fight. Comment is the perfect summation of most of our feelings after this episode. I'm sure we aren't the only ones that cried here more than the previous episode. stAtic91 said: Julian went berserk with rage; I never thought I'd see him like that. I urged him on, never have I wanted him to explode like that. Even at expressing rage and frustration, no show can match LOGH. stAtic91 said: tainteddonut said: The scene where she confessed she couldn't care less as long as she had Yang was really well done. Yeah, that really made me tear up... In my opinion, it was the most depressing and sad moment so far in LoGH. Yes this part is where the trickle of tears up till this point really got out of control on my part. I would expound more on this, but even thinking about it is painful. Hakuromatsu said: If (i.e. when) I ever watch this series again, I'm going to look at Murai very differently. He's played a necessary but thankless role as Yang's Chief of Staff all along, and I have to respect a man who's willing to draw ire upon himself for the greater good. His sacrifice here is truly a testament to his integrity and character, and it does more to showcase that than anything he could have possibly done throughout the show. |

| I felt sad and empty last episode. This episode brought my sadness to the forefront and I became choked up and teary eyed at various points I am not ashamed to admit. Especially the part where Frederica finally broke down. This is the first time the death of a character has done that to me. What a great series you are LOGH, to get me this invested in a fictional character. |

| This series has made me feel like someone just shot my dog. These past 2 episodes were the long overdue episodes that pushed my 8/10 to a 9/10 finally. seriously its been on the borderline since.....kirchies death, its good to finally have something to push it up.....too bad it happened to be brought on by misery. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Ugh, heart wrenching scenes. I thought it was too good to be true for Frederica to be taking it that well... :( |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Even though I knew it was coming last episode, it still hit me hard... This episode though. I lost count of the amount of times I teared up. Seeing the vision of "old Yang" in his chair just finished me off. Everyone's reactions and the reality of the situation is just so damn sad. It won't be the same without Yang. |
 |
| That was way more sadder and way more realistic than I expected. The after shock of his death really showed, especially on the ones who loved him most. Perfect episode. RIP Miracle Yang. |

| I now realize what the ED for this season was portraying...Such realistic emotions, and Frederica was the star in this ep for me...This series is too great. |

| I really can't see how people like Reinhard more than Yang. |
| I wonder how Reinhard and the Empire will react to the news of Yang's death. Pxi2 said: I really can't see how people like Reinhard more than Yang. That's like if I said that I really can't see how people like Yang more than Reinhard ಠ_ಠ Silly post is silly. |

| This episode of after-math was quite sad. I miss Yang more now. I miss Kircheis more though. |

| drowning in tears rn |
| Yang Wenli died in such a peaceful way, too bad Julian couldn't get there in time. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Damn this was a depressive episode :/ I really feel bad that Yang Wenli had to go that way he did and especially for his wife :| Decent development but well let's see what's next. |
 |
| It feels so surreal not having Yang around. Can't believe he s actually gone. Seeing everyone's reactions was sad. So many feels! Also they need to change that ending ASAP! It's painful to see >.< |
 |
| Rip my feels... |
 |
| RIP There is really nothing else I want to say T_T |
| god damn, seeing julian and fredrica and everyones reactions was more heart breaking than actually seeing yang die |
| Depressing every single second of this episode, I know I shouldn't put too much feeling about it but damn they know how to hit hard on the weak spot. I'm having this gloomy face like Yang's soldiers right now. |
| When Julian found Yang's body...wow...the way he went berserk was so unsettling. Every moment with Frederica was so heartbreaking, especially when she described the way Yang should have lived and died. It feels like this has become a lost cause, but Julian has proven before that if anyone can succeed Yang's vision, he's the one. Also props to Murai, by taking deserters with him he can stop the unrest within the remnants of those who stay behind and let them establish a stronger core. |
 |
| This episode was more touching for me than the previous one. Rest in peace, Admiral ;-; |
 |
| "If he's not alive, things will no longer be interesting." I hope that's not the case because so far I'll be lying if I said that I'm exicted to see Julian succeeding Yang. Julian's going ham on those Terranist scums was both satisfying and sad the same time, as for Frederica's reaction? That fucking broke me :( Reinhard is going to be oh so pissed once he hears about this. |
 |
| Very sad episode, Yang will not be forgotten. |
Wolfiexe said: This is what really, really got to me. The frustrating unfairness of it all. He just wanted a simple life and then just to retire but it was never meant to be and it's devastating.This episode though. I lost count of the amount of times I teared up. Seeing the vision of "old Yang" in his chair just finished me off. |

| I just watched this episode at work, and now I have to look presentable in front of customers ;~; |
 |
| Julian is the new leader and Frederika will be the next political head!!! |
| This was a depressing episode. |
| Well, everything is falling apart: Yang Fleet has less soldiers, no leader, less admirals, no support, a government representative ill and have no idea what to do next. Now I want to know the Empire's decision on the peace talk: they'll eventually realise it's taking Yang too long to get there. |
 |
| Approriate to use the entire episode on the forces at Iserlohn. They're all going through enough to take the whole time. There's still so much to unpack about this new situation. |
 |
| Tbh, at the end of episode 82, I don't feel sad or anything at all when the scene ended and the narrator said time for Yang had ended. Most probably because: - I binge-watched at 4 am local time and my brain can't functioning properly - More importantly, it's Yang, and what I had in mind are just simple things like "WTF?!" and "It can't be like this!". I've watched quiet number of anime, but I think this is the first time I feel like this when a character die, not to mention the main cast. It as if you're being informed of a passing of your relatives or friends (if I can put it more close to what I'm felt) Edit : the correct word here is numb... But, in this particular episode, the mood and how those characters accepting Yang's death were actually more realistic and interesting. The scene when Frederica said she doesn't care if democracy were cease to exist and started crying, man, that actually made me close to shed tears. Great voice acting there and props to her VA. Farewell and thank you Murai. He's not really fun compared to most others (and have less screentime) but I always respect and like him for what he is. Hopefully he will survive and retire when all shits settle down somewhere. Funny thing is, I've saw a thumbnail of video on YouTube that showed Yang lying down in a glass container or something, but since the title is in moonrunes so I can only speculate lol |

| Heeeeaaaavvvyyy I agree with most everyone here. I don't think I've seen death handled in this way in an anime series. Everyone's grief was very gut wrenching, probably because the death of Yang is finally sinking in with us viewers as well. Good stuff. |
| Julian didn't study history well enough Almost all "great" people are like this died because of assassinations They don't need reasons other than they're making world harder to "exploit" for some people or even as simple they're "great" Damn Frederica's seiyuu.. she's really doing a great job Actually in just one episode I kinda knew why Yang's death is really important I'm seeing Julian as smarter person than Yang but still inexperienced This way he'll get more experiences, even if it's forced His growth will be unbelievable after this Suddenly the ED is getting sadder :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| This was a hard episode to watch. Though I was surprised with how Frederica handled the situation at first until the "democracy ceasing to exist and universe turning back to atoms" part. Looking forward to seeing what Julian does with Yang's fleet but I'm still going to miss Yang. RIP Yang Wenli |
 |
| Oh shit, here we go again, that was somehow as painful as the last episodeprobably not as painful as getting thrown into a nuclear fusion, tho Julian going savage mode. And the part with Frederica....the pain in her voice, that was just heartbreaking ;_; Another great episode. Not many anime go for such a down to earth portrayal of grief and do it so successfully. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| i personally want to see how Katerose will react to Julian's rise to power, as she was obviously jealous of his supposedly undeserved position and "privilege" over her. I want her to break apart watching such a weak person becoming the most important man in the alliance. |
| If the previous episode left my heart encased in a tomb of ice, this episode took a pickax and shattered it, allowing the tears to flow freely. It began with Julian lamenting his failure, then Schenkopp outright denying it when he saw the body (Stop it. I don't want to play a role in a tragic play.), and only slightly lightened by the gruesome ways some of the soldiers wanted to punish and execute the captured Terrarists (Nuclear fusion furnace. A big one at that.). It started up again when Cazellnu teared up, Mrs. Cazellnu firmly telling Julian to take responsibility, and then finally, when Frederica broke and described how I thought Yang would meet his end: an old man, full of years, living a peaceful life surrounded by family and history books. First her father and now her husband! Twelve years was not enough. Eight as a "fan", three as his adjutant, and one as his wife. If only they had more time... Blumehardt's bravery, Murai's sacrifice for the betterment of the fleet, Frederica and Julian's willingness to fill the extraordinary leadership role Yang left behind for his sake, despite their grief and feelings of inadequacy... Legend of the (unsung) Galactic Heroes indeed. |
| A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more. |
| I can't believe I am watching this episode. Every second is just depressing. |
