Just saw the release and wow!
The animation is great! And you really get a melancholy mood from the whole thing, I'm not sure how they get that effect.
I kind of wish the story started earlier, it seems to be an episode somewhere in the middle of the story, so it needs to do flashbacks and summarize but I don't think it was too much.
....so....when is the second part supposed to come out?

Indeed, I almost had to laugh at the cynical part of it. What a way to die. Well, I didn't read the manga, but I think he's not neccesary dead, though.

They sure do a great job people not letting enter their room. They don't even suspect a thing, do they? T_T At least they didn't kill the boy. I actually liked the whole omake better than the episode self.

Also agreed with DragonsWhip, omake was the best part o_O
Besides, I can't stand Klaus. Someone (well, Inariya Fusanosuke herself xD') must have mistaken ugliness for manliness while creating the poor guy.

Maybe I'm getting old or something (but I suppose it's not the case) but this anime expect from ending which was funny and kawaii, wasn't awesome. Perhaps it's because i can't understand how rape can be exlained by love and devotion.
But omake was great:D

I thought Klaus was the hotter one of the two, though Taki wasn't bad for a uke. The end part was cute but I thought it really felt out of place in a really dark (but really hot) story. It was kind of jarring.

Wow, that was better than I thought it'd be. I loved it!

Taki is really, really pretty and close to my type, but there's something about Klaus that I just really, really like ^^ Both of them are awesome<3 And yay for awesome seiyuu!

As random as I thought it was, I was giggling through the whole omake X3 I can't wait for the next OVA~ Seriously, if someone knows when it'll be out, it'd be great if you could share that with us :D

I just have three things to comment about this yaoi:

1- The kitty extra was super kawaii.
2- The seme's chin was huge.
3- Longest and hottest sex scene EVER!

Summarizing, it was fantastic! Can't wait to see the second one.

Agree on that ,his voice actor definitively has no experience on scenes like that plus I thought it was annoying ever since I watched vampire knight >.>

Anyway since this is one of the few yaoi ovas that come out this year I have to say it wasn't half bad ,the story is a little messed up and I didn't really like how Klaus was designed but in rest it was ok ^^oh and I thought the scene from the end was interesting (for no reason)

I really enjoyed it. At first the character design had me questioning, but it took me less than 2 min to get use to it. I'm kinda glad that they had the sex scene like that, not like other ones where everything is a-ok when you flip them around upsidedown and crap. Klaus voice totally killed me, I needed a bucket to catch my drool...@///@

I personally wasn't too bothered by his voice. I mean really, does anyone NOT remember Junya from Boku No Sexual Harassment?

At first I was irritated because of the design of Klaus, but after I watched it a few times I wasn't irritated that much. Takki's voice actor isn't so great in sex scene's... I think this is his first time in a Yaoi anime.

But overal I did like it, even though I was confused at the beginning because I didn't understand anything from it. After I read the manga I knew what was going on with Takki (a bit) XD

This seems a really good title, so I'm really saddened that it's only 2 OVA long. If it was longer there would have been more time to show the characters interaction and developement which I'm afraid won't be the case, what a pity. =|

I like the idea of this very much. War, soldiers, uniforms, very interesting and appealing to me. And I do like the two main characters. Taki on the battlefield, loved that; the sense of duty, the devotion to his soldiers... Just...WTF TAKI, YOU'RE A COMMANDER, WHAT'S WITH THAT ATTITUDE WHEN YOU'RE IN BED? Seriously. =/ He's a soldier, we suppose he's trained both physically and mentally, no? Then why not the slightest sign of resistence? He's not even trying, geez. =| That's what irritated me a bit.

The omake at the end was really a LOLWUT moment. It had a completely different atmosphere than the whole OVA but that didn't bother me, on the contrary it made me laugh and cheered up after a very saddening episode. So yes, that was nice. =)

Overall, I think I'm going to read the manga as soon as possible to know more of what's going on. The story seems pretty good, but surely needed more than 2 OVA to be well developed. Quite a nice title nonetheless.

This was an awesome episode. Ever since I've found this ep a week ago, I daily watch parts of it. I find non-con/rape a great turn on. I love it so much. It was handled so expertly, did you guys notice how clever were the people making it; they cut of unnecessary parts without sacrificing the story.

Taki's beauty was so astonishing that if I were a guy, I would turn gay for him and his ocean eyes. (btw, did you see that pretty boy in Taki's tank; the one which directed the distress call to Taki? He looked almost exactly like Taki, but his eyes were ice-blue. He may be even prettier than Taki himself, lol.)

About voice actors - as standard for anime, they didn't disappoint. I loved Claus's voice. It really showed his talent near the end when was angry/frustrated with Taki.
As for Taki, I hear some of you were quite disappointed with his 'sex voice'. I myself didn't particularly liked Taki's voice to begin with. Perhaps because it kinda reminded me of a voice my friends make when they fake pussiness.

As for Taki's voice in sex scenes - when judging him, we have to consider few things. First, this is supposed to be non-con, so regular moaning with passion had to be replaced with strangled cries. Second, we have to remember that it was creators who choose this particular actor and told him how to make noise, so saying that it was actors fault (lack of experience in yaoi), was a bit silly.
I found confusing a sudden raise of Taki's voice, like when Claus squeezed his hands, or tied his arms with a belt. But I guess it was done on purpose to emphasize him having to restrain himself from screaming. That aside, I really liked it when he said so defiantly "Never" to Claus, along with few other lines.

About Taki's "unimpressive" submissive behavior in bed - did you know that people of high position often like to be controlled/humiliated in bed? I thought this was interesting thing to note. Even Claus mentioned it, "Did it turn you on, to be made my toy?"

Crap. I liked the character design and the animation, but why so much rape if there's love and that end... Maybe I should go check the manga to try to understand why Taki didn't wanted Klaus anymore and why Klaus became a rapist.

And to talk to a child while raping someone is srsly disturbing.

Try Ai no Kusabi. It's quite explicitly shown, but not too vulgar like this one.

And wtf what did I just see? O__o Okay, I kinda like Taki so i forgive it.

I'm glad I read the manga first, so I already have an understanding of these characters. I bet I would have been confused, if I just watched this OVA alone.

I like that this episode allowed me to understand the war, through the narrative voices. I can see the betrayal on Klaus's face, when Taki gave him an aloof response to his return... The flashbacks Klaus had, and his confusion to Taki's rejection and distance, despite our commander asking our westerner to be his knight first, definitely hurt. I also applaud Cadet Yamamoto's sincere speech.

I like the sound effects here. It's a shame, to think Taki is so young, yet he watches his men injured... He has too much responsibility on his shoulders. :(

Btw, the chibi ending was adorable! Klaus did an amazing job, of proving himself worthy to be knight. :P

The scene when Taki visits the infirmary reminds me of Kyou Kara Maou episode when the gang goes to find Morgif and they visit the infirmary for some reason and all the patients are suddenly better just by gazing upon Wolfram's beauty. Funny stuff.

In fact, just go watch Kyou Kara Maou.
