| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The way the battle progressed really puzzled me. How were the Free Planet's ships able to circle around the Empire's ships for a counterattack so quickly? Well, at least with Erlache dead that makes another less name to remember. I found it comical after a while how Reinhard can't seem to bring himself to say Yang Wenli. Ever time he'd mention 'that man' it would be immediately followed by Seigfried saying his name like he was trying to reaffirm who they were discussing. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| I started this one up because I've been told the show was epic so I'm looking forward to how much it will change. So far it's been pretty good. |

| judging by the chatter, i think i will like this series |

Over the course of the movie and the first two episodes I think they've done that 4 times. Now that you mention it, it is fucking hilarious! That's the kind of humor Death Note had. This episode seemed more like Star Wars (which this is without a doubt influenced by, greatly) than any other anime series I've seen. I find it great though that I have almost nothing to compare this series to. Makes the anime seem more unique OmegaRed said: I hope that's sarcastic, meaning that this is an underated anime.judging by the chatter, i think i will like this series Could you guys keep it down about future stuff? Even though some wouldn't deem that a spoiler, I still don't like hearing anything about future events. I am still loling from that. 4/5 |

Don't worry you won't be disappointed, Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu must be the most ambitious and the best series ever created. An unforgetable experience for sure, I'm pretty sure that I'll remember this one for the rest of my life. |

| So far I'm enjoying this series. It's like a soap opera for guys. I guess the term space opera would be more accurate. Anyways, I like it, and can't wait for the series to progress. |
| I'm kinda not used to these kind of wars, it's just kinda look like a chess game. |

| Good ep. Wenli rules, and it was funny to see Reinhard loosing his cool. |

| What I'm glad to notice in this show that both sides have their share of fools, sort of reaffirming the fact that the Alliance and the Empire are relatively even in terms of strength, or rather weakness in capable commanding officers. |

| I've watched the movie (My Conquest is the sea of stars) and judging by the movie and the past two episodes of this anime I'm gonna enjoy this one. |

| 'Stupid. Does he want to die?' -boom- '...serves him right.' - his expression = priceless. I loved the contrast between news for Jessica and for Annerose...It just says so much about war: they are both waiting, both probably don't care much about who wins or loses this particular battle, as long as their loved one comes home safely. I'm starting to see that this show won't provide us with black&white morality, villains and heroes, 'good' and 'bad' sides. And that's awesome x) |

| What a strange way to end a battle - that formation. And I liked how the Free Planets Alliance claimed it was a "great victory".. Yeah right. |
 |
| As a good democratic government the FPA has to claim other's accomplishments as its own and embellish them. Example : Economic Growth of Country F = 0% Speech of the governement : "Thanks to our work we have succeeded in not having a negative economic growth !" |

| nice episode.. i want more strategic moves between those 2 guys X))) i'd sit all day just to watch how those 2 play with each other xD |

KoolKidsKlub said: does this anime get better later on?...cuz im not impressed.... no, the first two episodes are the best episode and the climax of LoGH, you have seen everything. |
CoolKidsClub said: does this anime get better later on?...cuz im not impressed.... My own opinion is that the animation, story, direction etc is at its lowest in the first two episodes. I got intimidated as well. A lot of things from the story were cut out in these two episodes since the ppl behind the anime wanted to get to the action ASAP. The result is a bit shabby and turns off some people mostly because of the clunky pace. You will find that the movie "overture to the new war" is a much much better version of the first two episodes. I've seen like 24 episodes uptill now and I'd say the anime gets a lot better later on., although I'm told that the real stuff is yet to come. |

| (YAY!! I got another excuse for shamelessly promoting overture to the new war) supersayen said: After seeing the "Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Overture to a New War" Movie, I have to say this episode was mediocre to average, things went too fast and dialogue and character interaction are better in the movie. that's what I always say to people. Watching Overture to the new war AND My conquest before staring the main series helps you sink into the series much faster. If more people followed that order (my conquest -> overture -> main series) there would definitely be far less people dropping it during the first couple of episodes.

I actually found the history lesson episodes to be among the most interesting throughout the series |

| Lol, this is going to take a while, isn't it? Just 108 episodes to go! I'm not too impressed with the military tactics so far, they sound like things grade schoolers could come up with "OMG, he's attacking our center!!!!" "WHAT?! they went around behind us?" However, it is a remarkable step up from the first episode "Are you insane? You want to attack the three groups ONE AT A TIME?!?!?" Lol, well I've heard this eventually ends up more complex than death note, so I can only assume these first episodes are warming us up for future battles to come. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Next time try watching Overture instead of the first 2 eps, because Overture is like 10 times better than the first 2 eps |
 |
| wow this war was so camp -_- is this god forsaken battle over yet?it was like seeing two guys playing battleship or something... however i liked the final minutes,so 3/5 yep i'm done ranting |

| I actually liked this episode because that high commander from the Imperial Fleet died. I am a horrible person am I? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
-LU- said: Death Star? 0_o I thought the same. Twas a good episode. I didn't quite understand why the Alliance said that they won. They obviously lost a lot more than the Imperials, so even if it were a draw of some sort, they sort of lost in a way, right? |

The spin is simply war propaganda. Can't let the public's or soldiers' morale go down. |
| That was pretty cool, reminded me of Star Wars. I laughed my ass of when that one idiot admirable disobeyed the orders and died directly after. "THAT MAN" "HIM" "HE" I also wonder why they don't say each others names. I do find it amusing like everyone else. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| lol that one guy got pwnd like a second after he disobeyed orders. He was right he did deserve it, but that did make me chuckle when Reinhard said that. Poor Jessica. Decent episode 3/5 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I still have high hopes for this series... I'm not used to watching these types - or perhaps not used to not having shiny, up-to-date, overdone animation - so I'm hoping this will turn out to be super epic as everyone seems to say it is. That said... TowardsTheStars said: I laughed my ass of when that one idiot admirable disobeyed the orders and died directly after. I found that amusing in particular. And then Reinhardt had no sympathy. The only thing he had to say, "He deserved it. He's a good example for the rest." That plus his expression? Priceless. |
| Interesting to see Yang outwitting Reinhard! Ingenious |
 |
kie_ said: it's just kinda look like a chess game. i had the exact same thoughts.. kinda like playing chess xD the start is decent, not much to say about it.. i just wanted to try it out now and see if i'll be able to continue watching it during my holidays.. and i will :) |
| I actually liked this episode compared to the first one. Yang and Reinhard are really interesting characters. |
 |
Confucius said: I actually liked this episode because that high commander from the Imperial Fleet died. I am a horrible person am I? Hey, you know, I think this worked for me too. What an awful character, he'd better stay dead. But really, this episode was a huge improvement from the first. In fact I struggle to point these two as part of the same series. It's not only that both Reinhard and Yang have gained several layers of depth and interest in just one episode, but that the dialogues, if still heavily philosophical and at times clumsily delivered, are much better worked and they help to reinforce the personality of each one. The battle strategies were very entertaining to see, and the emotional climax moments were quite well done. What the hell happened between episodes 1 and 2? Damn it, I guess I will have to watch this whole series through after all. 9/10 |
