When they were rounding that corner all I could think was, "Are you kidding me?"

I was thinking "THEY BETTER CROSS THAT DAM STREET SAFELY." Would've raged if him or his wife got hit by a car or something....


Haha yea I had the exact same feeling at that moment! It was a moment where you really could say: I've got a bad feeling about this!

Prefer the old op. hopefully the new opening will grow on me. The rest did pretty quickly.

Great episode. Really enjoyed the flashbacks and the foreshadowing to Reuental's character was very interesting.

I agree this 4th opening is my least favorite by far. The engrish is too cringeworthy, which is strange considering how smooth and well done the singing was in the previous 3 openings. I actually like the 2nd opening the best, the song is great and the animations are epic besides annerose being randomly sewing in the middle lol. I'd rank the openings (1) OP 2 (2) Op 3 (3) OP 1 (4) OP 4 .

This episode really setting up Reuental to be a major player in this last season of the anime it seems. Interesting that that it seem like the leader of the earth cult is on Hienessen now.

And all of these instances of the Kaiser getting sick seem to be happening with more frequency, hmm

Let's say it one more time: the opening sucks. I like the animation, but I can't get over the singing even if I try. Ending was okay, but nothing special.

I liked this episode though. It's nice to see some flashbacks. Mittermeyer really owned Flegel. Luckily that prick has already died.

I was really afraid, when Mittermeyer said they were walking home. I was waiting for assassins, but luckily nothing happened. Narrator makes me too nervous...


hell yeah I forgot to mention that. There was a really creepy and ominous atmopshere when mittenmeyer was walking back home with his wife I'm actually suprised nothing happened. Especially since the episode began with flashback of hiim being rescued but nothing happened thankfully. MM is a character that does not deserve to die..

I had a very bad feeling when Mittermeyer and his wife approached their new home. I hope it was just my imagination, I don't think I can handle another big death right now.

I can't help but like Truniht now. He's just the biggest troll in this entire show and how he shamelessly survives is flabbergasting.

Holy shit, that OP is beyond garbage...Definitely will be skipping that one for the rest of the episodes.
That naked Hildegarde though :p
The new ED is nice, much better than the previous one (music wise, not visually)

The potential betrayal of Reuenthal is probably the most stretched out plot point I haver ever encountered in any anime.
It makes for good suspense though, so I'm not that mad haha.

The 4th OP is actually good once you get used to it (not just the animation, but the song as well). I guess it's because I've been around Engrish for so many years that I actually think the singer's English pronunciation in this song is pretty good. I've heard a lot worse. Either way, let it grow on you and you might actually find that you like it...

Maybe.

The best OP was the first one, and the best ED was the 1st one following by the 3rd.
All others are just fine.

Great Episode.

The animation gets a bit better imo, but I don't really like the new OP (the melody in first 10 seconds is great nonetheless). Still, the OP's animation is just something, it somewhat sums up Reinhard's journey since the beginning of the show, the ED is dedicated to the Alliance side as usual.

The scene where Mittermeyer and his wife walking back home was very intense regardless of how quiet it appeared, like many people, I was very afraid of his getting assassinated, which fortunately didn't happen.

The conversation in this episode somehow feels very "rich", even the small talk between Reinhard and Mittermeyer's couple is relaxing and doesn't feel forced. Reinhard just simply wants to maintain his bond with his trusted subordinates, and the method is not too complicated or excessive, sit down and have some talk then we're back the old days, which is really cool.

Really like it when they add more flashback to the "fantastic four" in Empire side, sadly one of them is gone, and another one is on the verge of breaking down.

Reuenthal continued to impress me more in this episode, how he handled the "chore" in the Neue-land and perhaps his analysis on the reason why Reinhard appointed Truhnit as his servant. This reinforces the fact the narrator stated near the end, which claimed Reuenthal to be the 2nd most powerful being in the universe right at this time. Though Reuenthal's true "ambition" is gone for now, who knows if he might awake himself and cause great "storm" to this "peaceful" era in the near future, just as the title of this episode itself.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but seriously, fuck this new op. God, it's terrible. And the first 3 ops were the classiest I've ever heard too, the first being my personal favorite. They just couldn't stick the landing. Hopefully this has no bearing on the quality of the season itself.

The scene with Mittermeyer at the end was so scary. Thought he was dying for sure.

Funny how it was raining at Phezzan and the Neur-Land at the same time. Also interesting that they haven't dealt with the issues of different seasons, days and years amongst the planets. They all seem to be on the Earth calendar and celebrate New Years at the same time which is odd...

The last shotof Reuental was really ominous..

The new OP isn't great, but they've all been pretty bad and at least this one features the whole Empire cast of high admiral and not just Reinhard and Wang.

Power rankings are still the same so I'll ignore them.

MVP... Mittermeyer. Thankfully he's still alive for a while longer.

Ominous episode.

I was expecting a terraist or someone to appear and kill Mittermeyer when he was walking along his wife.

OP kinda ok, ED meh. I never really liked any ed so...

I will miss the previous OP, the vocal is so powerful
This one is still good, but compared to the previous.. it's just different :(

Mittermeyer is happy, I won't ask for more xD

Again with Truniht I'm sick seeing him over and over, I hope he'll get a horrible death soon

I wonder what will happen if Kircheis is still alive, maybe Reinhard isn't miserable looking like he is now

I love the ED, it's like he's receiving "seeds" from everyone and then sow them to the entire galaxy
Compared to the lonely feeling of the OP, ED feels like everyone are there for Julian

God, Flegel was such a loser.

But nice episode, enjoyed that slice of life portion and Reuenthal is going to make a move at any time now.

And Reinhard is awfully often sick...

The fourth and last season. What will happen now? A bloodbath for sure.

My God, what a weird opening. This is clearly the worse of them all. In terms of quality, the order is no doubt 3 >>> 2-1 >>>>>> 4.
The ending was alright, though I raised death flags for virtually everyone in it, except for Julian and Katerose. Also, Julianrose's ship has officially sailed. Anyway, it was worth of mention that Hilda was highlighted in the Op. Kaiserin Hildegard von Lohengramm confirmed? Oberstein was also depicted in a special manner. It's safe to assure he will only gain more and more protagonism from now on, giving that the government of technocrats is coming.

Flegel returned, damn. I hated that bastard, and one of the most satisfying moments of the series was when even the radio operators shot him. Fuck, I hate Flegel.

Giving the friendship between them four, I'm confident enough to say that Kircheis would have occupied the office that either Reuental or Oberstein are holding, with the former being out of the triumvirate.

I hope Truniht dies as soon as possible, causing the least possible damage to anyone.

I must say I was terrified about the fate of Mrs. Mittermeyer when she was walking down the street. Knowing that terrorism will be a constant in this episode, I wouldn't have been surprised at all if she was struck by a lone shooter. Those angles only increased my tension.

I don't like Reuental, and I don't understand why is he one of the most liked characters of this series in this website. As Oberstein knows, nothing good can come out of his accumulation of power. Reuental Revolt surely incoming. Also, I thought that Oberstein didn't have any effective control over the military fleet, or that Mittermeyer would anyway have some preeminence over him, being that he is the Supreme Commander of the fleet. Anyway, as I said, I hope he gains more protagonism in this season, which points to be the most political of them all.

Season 4 animation is already heads and shoulders over the rest ..

that flashback was little too dragged doesn't it? it didn't contribute much to the story to see that giant proudly saying he's best at interrogating.

i wonder if reuntal really have betrayal thoughts, or is this just the narrator wants to make things interesting lol.
hoping reuntal will find soon enough a good reason to hang trunhit. he does have too much souls.

myrtmyer and his wife walk. lol that was weird and intense at the same time, but ended the most funniest part in this episode. you would like think he would be killed just like yang, or rather be killed by some random car. nop. when the camera revealed the corner, and assassin or some bomb. nop. in the end -a storm came. maybe a thunderbolt will hit myrtymyer and he will be paralysed or something? nop. they are getting to the house, and that's how it ended. so for WTH all the tense was for? xD

the opening just reminds me how i hated the 2nd opening and kept skipping it. maybe that's what will happen with this one as well?
i wonder if how reinhard had enjoyed the myrtmyer and his wife talk is related for naked marindof on the opening.

the ending was decent. but for some reason i'm missing the 3rd ending and it's sad tone. lol

And we’re off to a good start! May take some time to get used to the new opening, especially with that “engrish” sound… I only felt in love at first hearing with the 3rd OP, so I’m sure this one will grow up on me. Also, improved animation! This time it looks even more cinematic. NICE!

Surprised to see it all began with the four young admirals. They’ve climbed their way up quite a bit since then, heh? Great stuff.

JOB TRUNIHT IS BACK BABY! You gotta love how he even outlived his own nation. There’s no dull time when he’s on our screen. Despicable and compelling as always.

Last but not least: what a gut-punch of an ED. So depressing and beautiful. Fantastic.

Really interesting episode,  Reunthal at this pont is just waiting for a perfect moment to dispose of Trunhit, hope to see it soon.

That Mittermeyer walking his wife home scene was so intense, I was almost certain that theres gonna be an assasination attempt on him. To leave urself for such an opening after all those recent terorrism attacks is just insane for me.
