| Jessica: "Secretary of Defense! Where were you?! Where were you, who glorify the war dead?! Where is your family?! I offered my fiancée as a sacrifice. So where is your family, you who preach the necessity of citizens' sacrifice?! Are you practicing what you preach?!" Reinhard: "What are they doing? Although many are dying on the battlefield, isn't this just like a festival? Their relatives don't go to war since they're high-ranking nobles. In the end, that's why the high-ranking nobles know nothing of other people's pain." I love the parallels between episode 3 and 4. The Empire and Alliance couldn't be more different superficially, but ultimately they're just the same. |
Ranivus said: I'd buy his sister for $10 also >_< but did we really need this: <img src="http://i34.tinypic.com/2vwcxmr.jpg" border="0"> seriously? :( And the falling on the piano bit has already gotten old. Interesting back story though. I'm liking this show, its a little better than Aura Battler Dunbine lol good episode |
 |
| Not sure if Sig is actually loyal to Reinhard because he likes him or if it's because his sister said to get along w/ him ... Now I really can't tell. |

Fasces349 said: Thus far, I'm disappointed, for an anime that is so highly regarded by most of its viewers, the beginning has been downright terrible. This is one of the cheesiest, worse done back stories I have seen. I hope it gets better. Anime is rated 4/10 thus far. Haha, and now this show is one of his fav.

| 2 kids can carry a gun (blaster) and easily run into a party for the nobles... Sieg obviously is doing all this for Annerose, not sure Reinhard realise it or not |
| Wow so Lelouch is a total rip off, my anime world is shattered. |
| In this episode we learned how to deal with bullies: Step 1: Kick the bully square in the balls. Step 2: Beat the bully over the head with a rock. I hope we'll see some lasers next episode. This one was pretty boring. |
  |
| Ok episode, It probably gets much better soon. Reinhard and Siegfried seem a little like a gay couple which I found kinda funny. |
 |
| Back stories are important and whatnot, but still, this was a boring ass episode. =/ |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| Reinhard reminds me of Ender from Orson's Scott Card's Ender's Game. Military Genius and will put bullies in their place, with severe methods to ensure they never get bothered again. So far the series shows its potential to earn the title True Elite. |
| Another good episod. Reinhard's personality hasn't really changed through the years, I laughed when he kicked that kid in the balls. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| good episode, but theres no way reinhard and kirchies should had been able to run away from 4 heavily armed guards then just stop and dick around after falling down a hill. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Ugh so good. I don't know what people are talking about. These first few episodes alone have already surpassed the two other shows often compared with this. I really like how they spent this episode and the previous one expanding on each of the main guys, especially this one because we have a sense of Reinhard and Kirchie's motivation for fighting. Reinhard's hella hilarious btw. LOL I laughed out loud two times from his antics. Ranivus said: but did we really need this:  seriously? :( Boku no Reinhard |
| Reinhard smacking the guy who held his leg out in class with a smug grin made me laugh. Didn't expect that. Then he started beating someone with a rock, and that was even more unexpected... Was cool to see their past at an early stage anyway and how the two of them became friends. |
 |
| Best episode so far I reckon. Beautiful backstory. It damn well got me motivated! Can't wait to see what Reinhard and Siegfred have in store for us! Taking down the Kaiser? I really want to see that... 5/5 Lots of laughs too |
| Most of this episode was covered in Overture so not much new besides a few things. mayukachan said: Ugh so good. I don't know what people are talking about.

 |
| Nice backstory of both, while we did get this part in a more extended way with the prequel but knowing that it aired after the main series it is understandable they added this! Either way good episode! |
 |
Peralisc said: fking filler -.- You don't seem to understand what the meaning is of "filler". Seriously though this episode is far from being a filler as it was a great and detailed backstory of both characters. Some people these days... |
|
| It's cool to get a look in Reindhart's country too. This was a great episode for the background of those two characters. It had just the right amount of plot development, characterization, and it didn't take too much time showing them screwing around as kids, it spent just the right amount of time on all of them. This series is gonna be really good-I just feel it. |
 |
| Fairly good backstory. So much to do. |
 |
| Good backstory episode |
 |
| That was a pretty cheesey backstory lol Apparently Reinhard has a massive sister complex. Reminds me of Lelouch :P |
 |
| Wonder who reinhard wants to fuck more his sister or kirchies. |

| Good episode. In childhood Reinhard von Meisel and Siegfried Kircheis lived next door and one day the Kaiser bought Reinhard's sister Annerose. In order to achieve power to get Annerose back, that was the motivation to become high rank soldiers and more. Before I thought Reinhard and Siegfried were some cold-blooded soldiers, now I like them more. |

| I thought this episode was great, it showed some nice insight into what drives Reinhard and how far reaching his ambitions truly are. |
MyLonesomeCowboy said: Wow so Lelouch is a total rip off, my anime world is shattered. Anyway, this was a really interesting episode. Reinhard is so kewl and tuff awwws and kewt <3 |
 |
| Nice backstory. The handshake, the bitchslap, the kick in the nuts and proceeding to smash boy's head with a rock and shot at the lamp, lol Reinhard. |
| Lol even as a kid, Reinhard didn't take shit from no one. Besides the dumb moment of them outrunning the police officers, this was a nice backstory. Don't tell me Siegfried only became Reinhard's friend because he was after his sister's booty the whole time? |

| This is basically the same as the earlier portion of Golden Wings, except they didn't storm into a party firing guns in that. Surprised no-one found out who he was and got him sent down for life (Siegfried even helpfully called out his name) |
| Both Lelough and Light are rip offs. I see both in Reinhard. A ton. |
| Backstory was quite predictable to be honest. Though nothing is better than a man aiming for more and more power. But again, very boring episode and very awkward too especially the momentarily pauses, instant zooms and lack of lip-syncing. 3/5 for this episode, a good one. |

| Great backstory about Reinhard. I'm liking the anime more when they are on ground. |
| Flashback when Reinhard and Kircheis first met!!! |
| So... why exactly was Reinhard's sister brought to the Imperial Palace? |
| Their father sold her off as consort to the Emperor. A sex slave basically. |
| reinhard seems to be quite mature at his age and quite daring. there is the sense of him thinking everything revolves around him, like when he introduced himself to siegfried and almost demanded that they be friends. anyway, he has so much power now. it's nice to see the difference between him commanding half of the fleet, while yang simply commands nowhere near that amount. |
 |
| Wow Reinhard was a really bad kiddo back then. |
| How did people not like this one? A little kid bashed another kids head in with a rock and brought a gun to the ball. I thought it was the most interesting one so far. |
| most interesting episode so far seeing how much power he got, I'm thrilled to see Reinhard in action now |
| Why, you say... Don't you get it? If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. |
| Anyways, Reinhard got half of the space fleet. Remarkable. Atleast the Galactic empire wants to win. So many funny moments and yaoi too. A fujioshi would have had a nosebleed by now.  Running slowly. Animation failure. LOL.  Harmless yaoi.  You were wonderful in bed.  Kiss.  Time to watch overture. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Holy shit, mini-Reinhard is savage. He goes from bitchslapping to nut-kicking to bashing one's head in with a rock really fast. And he doesn't stop there! |
| That was more emotional than I expected. Kircheis is going to be a fantastic character. I also have a feeling he's going to die later. I'm interested to see how long he stays loyal to Reinhard. I feel like Reinhard is less likely to betray Kircheis than vice versa. There's significant backstory for the two boys, but Annerose has an important line too, how she says she'll do everything she can for Reinhard's future. She must have helped him along the way through his military career. There's several people who want to see Reinhard succeed. |
 |
| First truly pleasant episode of the show, despite the weird running scene! (even if I knew this part from both thelast manga and the movie) 5/5 The party crashing was a bit too much though. |
