THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I love the name dropping. So that's how Reinhard came to know of Musel. He started working on his contacts very early in his career.

So now it's a murder mystery? Even if the MP chief wanted to get rid of Reinhard I still find it strange that he was left in charge of a murder investigation. While he is a sharp individual, he's not a detective. Whatever the case Reinhard sure has some crappy first assignments. How many more before he can finally head out to space?

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

You mean Kesler! Kesssleeer. Yeah, good shout out there.

I LOVE the genre change! It's worked into the story well too, making him have a stint in the MP.

I'm real glad that his assignments have been shitty and the odds are always stacked against him, it makes his struggle to the top, well, a struggle.

nice to know kesler was busy kicking ass even before he met reinhardo sama ... this story arc looks a little more promising than the last one. Cant wait to see how Reinhard handles this case
"...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')

Kessler Reference made me smile ^^.

Also this arc looks really promising, although it's quite obvious that it was that Moritz guy imo because the fraud thing seems too obvious (btw he has my name. Why not another character? -.-), but he seems sharp so it's gonna be not too easy for Kirchard. Anyway I love the genre change and the variety so far.

Kessler..fuck yeah. Very strong episode, imo. It's kind of cool to see the state of the Military Police early in Reinhard's career. It's pretty terrible that a woman was arrested for stepping on a painting of the Kaiser and amusing that the guy who snitched on her was arrested by Kessler as well.

Oh hey there Kessler.
Nice to see you kicking some ass, long before you met the Once and Future Kaiser.

I hope it keeps up this Detective kind thing.
It was good for the first episode, definitely.

Mentioning Kessler, nice :D

I remember thinking Kircheis was annoying in the main series, but while watching these episodes I just have to wonder why. Guess I need to re-watch it after all this.

So Kessler was the first High Admiral that Reinhard "found"? Anyways this arch kind of seems ... Well, this feels more like a side story than the previous 4 episodes, can't say I'm excited about it.

And there's the future head of the Military Police. Name dropping. <3

Now to play detective... is this arc that important in Reinhard's list of accomplishments? I have to wonder.

I like how to Gaidens feature the main characters learning about their spiritual predecessors (Ashbey in the case of Yang, Kesler in the case of Müsel)

Good old Kessler.

So Reinhard and Kircheis are going to investigative a case now. This OVA really has a lot in store.
