| Good first episode, glad I watched the movie, makes alot more sense. But anyways good series, look forward to seeing the character and plot development. With 100+ episodes I'm expecting quite a bit. |
 |
| Conquest and Overture might spoil you a bit due to their budget (+ Overture came out a bit later). Lap was kinda a random character her, so his death meant nothing to the viewer. However, the Overture movie expanded his character a bit, since we got ~45min new material set before the start of the first episode. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Space ships, lasers, missiles, and explosions. Count me in! I hope to see some nice battle strategies in future episodes. |
  |
| Looks like it is pretty big war going on there! Apparently one side has 20 000 ships and second side has about triple that, so at least stage is set to be grand. Since everyone is recommending watching those two movies at the start, I should do so soon. |
| How slow are these ships in this show anyway and i'm confused about whether they have radars or are those display's just tactic tables? Reason why i'm asking is that i'm bit confused about how the imperial forces manage to get the farthest fleet by a surprise and how the other two allied fleet's supposedly couldn't reach the one being attacked in time. I don't really get how they main and second rear (the one that wouldn't have been attacked if the imperials had attack either right or left fleet) expected to come to rear fleet's aid if it was so hard to the rear fleet's to come the main fleet's aid. |

Do yourself a favor and watch Overture to a New War, which is a more in depth account of the first two episodes. Maybe, that will give you a better understanding of the battle. Also, watch my Conquest is the Sea of Stars which is a prequel and should be watched before the series. |

| Thanks. The movie did a LOT better job setting up the battle and explained more about the limitation's of these feels. I hope that the series turns out to be more like the movie later on. |

| 2 Important links for anyone confused about the Military Rank Hierarchy- Just avoid looking at the example's of people in that position since it can have spoilers from later in the show. You can just look at the content list at the top for a list of positions from low to high if you don't want explanations of the positions which aren't really relevant imo.

| I actually liked this episode. It could be that I saw the two movies beforehand and thus already knew what was going on, but minus the fact they never really introduced Lap I don't see why people say it's a bad start to the show. If I liked the bad parts though, then maybe that means the rest of the show will just be plain awesome. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| Nice first episode. :) So absurd that a clever man like Lap had to die such a meaningless death only because of an unmindful commander... Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| As always, I suggest watching the movies My Conquest is the Sea of Stars and Overture to a New War before seeing the TV series. Overture is also a more in depth, and most importantly better, take on the first two episodes. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Well, Conquest was actually released before the OVA series and Overture expands on the two protagonists Yang and Reinhard. Particularly Yang's relationship with Ladd and his fiance Jessica is given greater context, which is pretty important as the series goes on. Also, Reinhard's strategies may make a bit more sense to you if you watch Overture. I can't think of any good reason to not watch the two films, tbh. And, I'm pretty confident most fans would make this same recommendation. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Nah, I would recommend: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars Overture to a New War LoGH main OVA series Like what Koreye says in the 3rd page. edit: Overture was released later down the line but, again, I cannot stress enough how much it adds to the series. Also, it's a fairly safe bet that, if you don't like the movies in any way, then the series isn't' for you. So, it's a good test to see if the main series is something you would be interesting in. |

| Speaking of which, if you are considering skipping episode 2, I wouldn't recommend it. I feel like there was a scene at the end of that episode that wasn't part of Overture. I may be wrong, though. Still, it's cool to see how much that movie adds I guess. I can kind of see the Monster comparisons. They are pretty different as well, but it's a pretty decent bet you'll like both. |

| No problem, I didn't get to see the series the first time I watched it in that order. After re-watching it I was like "damn, really wish I could have seen it like that the first time..." |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Guess I'll hold off on episode 2 and watch My Conquest is the Sea of Stars and Overture to a New War. Reinhard's voice is so sexy :3 |

| Woah tons of information in this first episode. I am in Yang's side for now. Let's see how things develop |
OmegaRed said: I was also confused by the characters. I decide to just go with it and see what happened. I have a feel for who is who, and if their names are important i am sure I will pick them up eventually. |
 |
| argh too many names yang vs reinhard huh. can't tell who i like more |
| Watched Overture before this episode so it was basically a recap for me. Definitely prefer the changes in Overture but it was still a good first episode and it would be unfair to compare it to the movie that was made to expand on it xD |
 |
| Remember to watch My Conquest is the Sea of Stars and Overture to a New War BEFORE starting the OVA for a better introduction to the show. |
 |
| So this is the show elitists have been raving on about......seems pretty good so far. The blonde guy seems pretty badass. I can see the potential in this show. |
 |
| Dat opening though. So 80s. |

| Do Free Planets ships & fleets tend to have Greek based names? Is Phezzan multicultural or based on an existing culture ? |

Primus2x said: Do Free Planets ships & fleets tend to have Greek based names? Is Phezzan multicultural or based on an existing culture ? Yep, FPA ship names tended to be taken from Greek/Roman mythology, but there are a handful from others (Irish, Hindu, etc.) The Empire (obviously) is centred on Nordic and German lore. I don't remember Phezzan showing any particular culture, but it seems it alludes to Fezzan of ancient Libya. |

| Coming from the movies and the prequel series I must say this first episode was just GREAT! Really love the pacing and overall atmosphere like it was in the prequels so I'm really looking forward to see what this story will offer us! |
 |
| I'm liking Reindhart so far. He reminds me of Griffith which is always a good thing. The ost is very nice as well and I like the strategy so far. I feel like I've come across an amazing classic right here by the feel of the show. That and the fact that everyone and their mother says its godly. |
 |
| Yang and Reinhard are already intriguing me from the first episode. Definitely enough to get me hooked. |
 |
| Oh it is a repeat of the movie or vice versa. Still pretty good, gets right into the action. |
 |
| Ok first episode. The old animation is a bit jarring but I'll probably get used to it soon enough. Damn so many names! Battle was pretty meh. |
 |
| Didn't this just happen to an overture to war ? |
| Given the right situation , the right story , anyone can be shaped into Snake. -Revolver Ocelot , MGS2 |

| Being the huge sci-fi fan I am I was so looking forward to watching Legend of the galactic hero's and I must say this series has so much going for it, the setting, the classical music and the art style, and talk about being thrown into the deep end with this first episode. |
Motoko-Kusanagi said: I just watched this episode and what happend to women?, only one “densetsu” girl in the intro, is this yaoi-anime if it is I don’t want to watch it :/ This is not a yaoi anime in any way, although it is certainly true that there are a lot more male characters than female characters. War and politics are the main themes of this series, with romance only playing a peripheral role. |
| Not Yaoi? pfft There was that gay Kaiser that ran off with some boy what a pedo. And Reinhard's true love is Emil, just look at how they interact with each other, if that's not yaoi bait then i don't know what is. |
| This was a shaky first episode. AT the middle of it, I was tempted to drop it right there but I powered through(thankfully, if I've dropped it.. I've missed the rich political intrigue here...and I only just watched the first 11 episodes..) |
