zemrood said: he used the escaping officers who bailed right away as bait for the imperials and sent the fleeing ships clearly within view of radar in the gamble that they would be dismissed as asteroidsI don't know if I missed it but what did Yang actually do in El Facil? Just seemed to me they went to battle with the Imperials and Yang led them to escape in the meantime. managed to evacuate like three million ppl and the fpa painted it as a victory because they were getting their asses kicked and needed to show something that didn't go horribly wrong |

| Yang Wen-li prefers tea over coffee. Always a man of good and sophisticated taste. Why do I not remember the story of Yang back in his school days? Can't remember that being in the original OVA. Was that in the side-story OVAs? Never watched them. Also, what would happen if Julian never joined the military? Wouldn't Yang have to pay back all the government assistance? He'd be screwed... |

Yang's backstory is covered in the side-story OVAs (specifically the Spiral Labyrinth arc, aka Rasen Meikyuu in Japanese). Some of his interactions with Jean and Jessica can also be found in the movie Overture to a New War. |

Yang would have paid everything back, as was said in the novel, he had enough savings and actually wanted julian to not become a soldier |
| Sorry, but was a bad episode, because the Yang´s life was explained just in 20 minutes, and the miracle of "El Facil" only was 7 minutes!!! Attention: The blonde little girl in the airport that gave Yang a coffee, will appear in the next episodes!!!! kekekeke |

El Facil only got further expanded much later, as it is Side Story material. If anything, they gave a lot of time for it in here, which is pretty good of a character presentation for Yang so early. |

| An annoying and boring episode in my opinion. It's sad because Yang is one of my two favourite charas from LoGH (the OVA and novels). Yang & Jessica's cheesy and cornball "love story" made me cringe my teeth. Their personality and apperance were plain. How could the creators of this new LoGH portray Alex Cazellnu as a megane boy?! IIRC, he is supposed to be in his late thirties... :P Oskar von Reuenthal's new appearance is also awful. Just like in the OVA, here I prefer the Imperial POV to the FPA one. This adaptation is not as bad as I thought it would be but those generic faces and CGI are terrible. Still, the OVA is exceptional and beyond compare. <3 |

I don't mind emphasizing Yang's love for Jessica in the anime. Nevertheless, it seems to me that Jessica and Yang's relationship was more sublime and sophisticated in the OVA (I don't include Gaidens and movies) than in this new adaptation. I don't recall this violin and library thing from the novels but I may remember it incorrectly. It's not just their relationship, i think this adaptaion doesn't do Yang justice. This interesting man is portrayed here as a shallow boy. Btw, I like the fact that we share the same favourite characters from LoGH. :) |

| LOL that simulator battle. Yang just let his fleet get destroyed knowing he technically would win by desroying the other's supply. |

| I like how they're adapting stuff differently from the 1988 series. It seems like a good adaptation, other than that all the stylistic choices just seem inferior to the older series (soundtrack, lifeless looking bishounen characters, suburban homes and 21st century looking technology). They made Federica Greenhill a bit catty in this. Hopefully they don't intend that to be a lasting trait of her. It sticks out like a sore thumb to me, especially considering what that interaction between her and Yang is supposed to influence. |
| Yang was asking the right questions even when he was a kid. I like the tea referance as well. It was a good attempt for backstory on Yang in this small time frame. |
| Good episode. This show is underwatched and underrated. |
 |
| I like that they went in depth about Yangs background, in the OVA they didn't include much at least in the beginning. I also love that they included the scene about Yang choking lol I love that bit and I don't think it was in the OVAs until later. Some of this seemed to be original unless it is later in the Gaiden or in a novel I haven't gotten to yet. I'm liking the creative choices in this. It certainly feels like a readaptation of the novels rather than a copy of the OVAs. |
| How can people think this is rushed? It's actually less far along than the old series was at this point. People still doubting this series after the last episode are clinging a little too hard to the OVA I think. I got the first three novels for my birthday recently, so I'm going to be reading those and comparing. I'm actually really starting to like the art style. I mean the male character designs were better in the older series, but the females in this series are wayyyyyy better. Most everything else has been spot on. I think the Imperial ship designs are a bit overdone. |

| Translations are not that great when it comes to ranks. |
| So now we got to see a little of the story of the "other side" commander. From what someone said above, what he did at El Facil was really impressive, but didn't have this feeling in the episode. But i am enjoying it so i think they are doing a good job, and it would be weird if El Facil was difficult to save xD |

| Another very lovely full of character development, I first thought they would cut these kind of parts out because the original anime was full with it, but here we are and it still has a pretty good impact to the series I must say! let's see what's next. |

| I think thet should have spend more time on el facil than jessica and lap. Now it looks like yang did nothing special then. And julian didn't star living with yang after el facil? (in gaiden at least...) |

(in gaiden at least...) Yes, Julian started living with Yang after El Facil, but that was about 6 years later. Canonically, the evacuation of El Facil took place in 788 UC, whereas Yang became Julian's guardian in 794 UC (2 years before the Battle of Astarte). |

| Very cool episode |

Yeah, I know that scene in this episode was rather ambiguous, because it did not clearly show the passage of time. I agree following this episode was very confusing, but I suspect that it is a consequence of condensing several volumes of novel over 24 episodes. Really, when most of these events take place is hard to track, because it shows him graduating from fleet academy then referring to his academy days as years ago. Either way the dialogue and context of the story are remarkable though. |
| #YangGang backstory episode loving it ye people want easy lives so they have a tendency to be sheeples also learn from history to predict the future yep so i wonder why Jessica says she is looking at the future without looking at the past? |
| I'm just over here fangirling about every character they introduce lmao Although I'm not a fan of Cazellnu's redesign. Not a fan AT ALL. And Julian looks like the boy from The Mummy Returns lol |
 |
| Pretty cool backstory for Yang but i still think he's too OP for some reason. I hope he gets better. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I like how Yang only wanted to read books at the library A child? |
