| Intense episode. I'm looking forward to what Kircheis' death is going to trigger. Wish they'd play more of that bgm though :3 On a side note: I think they are doing a formidable job at portraying Oberstein. He's such an excellent character. |
This picture is appropriate for this thread Kircheis' death affected people in the real world too... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| It's sad to see Seig go since he was a great character, but it will help with Reinhard's character development. How will it help, I don't really know. On to season two! |
| Oh damn Great fucking episode |
 |
| "Shadows must accompany their light. But if the light dims... Don't the shadows, too?" Although I feel awful that Kircheis died so soon....Best ending of a season that I've ever seen. |
 |
| I cried manly tears. |
"A detoxified Akihabara would just be another electronic town!"  |
| Well shit. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Sadness. ._. |
| I was expecting him to take the rocket blast for Reinhard, so when he dodged that I thought he was OK! But man Kircheis got a Schwartz through the throat and the heart, didn't expect that cause of death. I'm still on the fence about Oberweis (Oberstein), he is a calmly calculating dude. He makes decisions that reflect poorly on his morality and humanity, while talking about the greater good. He usually excuses loss of life if it gets Reinhard into power faster, or results in less deaths in the long run. Neither of which are evil motives. He seems loyal to Reinhard to a fault, whether it is an act or he is an Earth Cult spy I hope that develops quickly into plot. If i were Reinhard I would have pulled out my laser and shot him in the head after the nuclear attack on the civilians was allowed to happen. |
Confucius said: This is actually part of the reason I haven't completed this show. CAN'T GET OVER THIS. The other is how I got repeatedly spoiled on what will happen in episode 81 or 82. Damn it all.This picture is appropriate for this thread Kircheis' death affected people in the real world too... |
| NOOOO KIRCHEIS!!! ;__; His death has been foreshadowed several times so I'm not entirely surprised, but for it to be so soon... *sob* |
| Very intense episode. Just the staging of Kircheis' death was ridiculously animated. Oberstein's line was very smart, and I believe that he advises Reinhard in a very cold yet super-effective way. You don't "win the universe" just by being nice and just. |
| Great episode. The teaser from the last episode already spoiled the death for me but it was still a surprise, even more than the death of Jessica Edwards which seemed so futile. From one of the prequel movies I gathered there might have been something between her and Yang Wenli, at least a chance of a romance so I'm still wondering if she might be alive. Probably not. It'll be interesting to see now if von Lohengramm will go even further on the road of power corrupting him. Certainly Oberstein is not a big help there. He's a great character, for the last few episodes he's been the one really taking the character development forward. I know he's not meant to be a likeable character so his ruthlessness doesn't matter. I totally didn't expect him to use the death of Kircheis as an excuse to get at Liechtenleid. It's appropriate that the Empire is used in the story to explore the problems and possible inevitability of realpolitik since Prussia seems to be one of the models. Kircheis's death at the end of the first season reminded me of another 80s anime in which the direction changed afterwards (not going to put the name here even in spoilers, just in case). |
| The impact of Siegfried's death was dampened by the preview from last episode, but nonetheless...wow. For a couple days, I had been expecting a major death in the season finale, but had convinced myself that Siegfried and Julian were off-limits for the time being. Wow. I was concerned when Reinhard consolidated the positions of all three military Chiefs of Staff into one, but now he's consolidating them into the position of Prime Minister on top of that. But I have trouble believing that Reinhard is going to be on top of that ladder for another 84 episodes; I'm interested to see what becomes of him. danz said: To all the Oberstein haters: Did anyone notice how Oberstein wanted to protect Reinhard with his life from the incoming missle? In the span of a second, he calculated that the odds of his own death while protecting Reinhard were smaller than the odds of not being able to advance his Machiavellian ambitions in the event of Reinhard's death. He's a manipulative bastard even when he's taking a missile to the face ^_^ |
| that was a great episode - still I wish Kirheis had not died :( |
| I didn't expect Kirheis to die. Amazing end for season 1. |
 |
| Great episode. The way they directed the scene of Kircheis' death and Reinhard's reaction to was very, very powerful. Knowing how the rest of this series plays out, I can't help but wonder how different events would have played out had Kircheis survived. Also: Edit: Has anyone watched the 720p version? If so, what do you think of the edited scenes with different art sprinkled here and there? I noticed it a few episodes back during a conversation between Yang and Frederica, but they went crazy with it these last two episodes. I don't mind the artstyle, in fact it does a pretty good job of expressing the emotions of the characters. But, the way it's sort of half-assed thrown in here and there is kind of jarring. Yet, LoGH is so damn good I don't really give a shit. Lesser shows, this probably would bother me more. |

Yang Wenli said: There are few wars between good and evil; most are between one good and another good. I wouldn't worry, itsjeremy6. LOGH does portray a few conflicts between good and evil, but they're typically minor and short-lived -- like Reinhard versus Braunschweig & co. in season 1. And even that had some greyness. |
| amazing ep, didnt expect kircheis to die so quickly i think ill have to start making some changes on my top 10 anime is this keeps up the good stuff |
 |
| KIRCHEIS! NOOOOO! |
 |
Shaduge said: weird episode all right, why is the security so weak and his death lacked ambience yea man, very weak security. Reminds me of JFK and Gandhi...you'd think they would have learnt from history, sheesh. Not sure what you mean by ambience; I mean, if a death scene leaves me completely dumbfounded, nearly shell-shocked, ambience would be the last thing I'd care about. |
| "...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') |
| This show is getting a lot better, glad I kept watching. but why didn't someone knock the guy out? Like if someone pulls out an rpg, I'd tackle their ass. Kircheis was the only one that did anything, the rest just watched. |
| Great ep, RIP Kircheis. I only hope that Reinhard's handpicked admirals will take over the role that Kircheis played in some small capacity. I still think Oberstein is up to something. I have a feeling he told Reinhard's sister something else besides Kircheis's death. Hence why she wanted to move away from Reinhard. Of course, I'm only speculating. Can't wait to start the next season. Also, more than likely giving this series a 10/10 but I don't rate until I finish a series (in most cases). |
 |
| RIP Siegfried Kircheis |
| I think I'm going to be depressed at least for the rest of the day. This series is so great but gosh darn that punched me right in my soul. I can't wait to see how everything plays out. |
| NOOOOOO Kircheis !!! Though that was smart of Oborstein to charge Lichtenlade for the crime. But yeah, Reinhard got nothing to lose now, LET YOUR AMBITIONS FLY WITHOUT RESTRAINT !!! |
| Surprising end... though I have to say I'm a bit disappointed he died so early, Kircheis was one of the few truly interesting characters on the show among a sea of nameless faces. Now one of the best characters is gone... damn shame. |

| Goddamn you Ansbach. Siegfried Kircheis you will be remembered. |
| Not sure why the Allied forces were so happy with that little dispute. It looked to me like they lost quite a bit. Anyways can't wait to get back to seeing Reinhard v. Yang. If I had one complaint though, it would be the fact that they seem to care about life, but then when Julian kills an entire ship (which has alot of people on it) they just go "wow! Good Job!" As if they actually don't care about killing people at all. |
 |
| Incredible, and I thought LotGH's soundtrack couldn't get any better. Oh my, one of the best characters has just died in just a few seconds, I've to say this anime is legendary. |
| And tears were shed. It happened right at the end, when I thought I was clear. When Reinhard visited Siegfried's grave. This series really has been worth the hype, up to this point at least. |

Echelon said: Plate said: KIRCHEIS NOOOOOO ...in the locket at the end, it looks like Reinhard kept some of Sieg's hair in there. :o Yeah, I'm sure that's what that is. I read nothing. -blinks- He died? Just like that? What? Okay. Oberstein is going to screw everyone over. I know it. Kircheis is gone now, so Reinhard has no restraint. And Oberstein sure as hell won't let this opportunity go to waste. I foresee the loss for the Empire already. Oberstein has already convinced the Admirals to follow his plans, and he'll be able to do it again. Reinhard seems rather cynical now. Full of distrust. I hope this is just a temporary phase. I'm about neutral at this point, and I can say that I enjoyed the earlier episodes more (10-20 ish?). But I see lots of potential in the upcoming war. I want to see Yang vs. Reinhard pretty badly now. And I'm curious to see how this series will play out. So I'm sure I can enjoy the show very much from now onward, just not at this point. Just a hunch, but Julian taking over Kirchei's position anybody? Think its a possibility? :O |
| Seig acted as Reinhard's limiter. Without him, I can see Reinhard becoming very cruel. |

Now one of the best characters is gone... damn shame. Keep watching =) I completed this show about a week ago or so and this absolutely improves as it goes along. By the time it ended I felt myself deeply attached to the characters. Well, most of them at any rate. Still missed Kircheis throughout but others certainly stepped up. |

| Damn, this episode was really really good. That's all I can really say. The loss of Kircheis hit me harder than I thought it would in a show like this where people die like flies. |

| I fail to see a masterpiece in this work after 26 eps of watching. Should i continue? |

Not_Cake said: Of course it is till a very fun watch. But considering i gave the whole top 9 a 10. I expected much more from it. Also 53% gave it a 10.
