| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The Earth cult seems to have become a non-issue since their last outing. Rubinsky on the other hand really has been taking center stage in his behind the scenes machinations. Lang is really in over his head by trusting Rubinsky and thinking he could be the number one ruler of the galaxy. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| The first part of the episode was so funny to watch, when the admirals were summed to attend artistic shows with the Kaiser agains their will. I was quite surprised to see Reuenthal seriously taking into consideration the possibility to rebel against Reinhard in his thoughts ! Where are his respect and loyalty gone?? Lang is such an irritating character to plan the Empire fall for a personal grudge against one man, I really hope he will get what he deserves. |
I lol'd so hard |

| Yeah, Lang sure is a greedy old coot. He will go down hard later I suppose. |
| Bittenfeld. Smiling. Hillarious. Not only that, but the scene where each of the admirals is trying to get the other to go with Reinhard on these outings cracked me up a good deal. Still, it wasn't enough to get rid of those feelings of unease from Lang and Rubinsky's plan to isolate Reinhard. I hope the powers that be do something about this situation. |

Lang is such an irritating character to plan the Empire fall for a personal grudge against one man, I really hope he will get what he deserves. Well he probably thinks along the lines "If he is weak enough to get manipulated than it may as well be me manipulating him". Anyway an interesting episode that really showed the complexity of doubt very well. As soon as it's there nobody can know if the other people fall for it or not, which inspires more doubt etc.. On to the next :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| not a very interesting episode,first part was fun :) so reuenthal is really up to something 4/5 |

| This episode is win! Also, what are you doing Reuenthal!!?? That fat actually thought he could control the universe? Does Rubinsky always drink? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Yes, the first half is comedy gold. Metty said: Hilarious! |
| "There was no fistfight at the opera house." Well, he has a point there, haha. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| I can't tell if Bittenfield actually liked the opera or not... One thing I am sad in. Mecklinger is one of the most physically imposing Admirals, I have felt. Yet he has gotten so little screentime. |
| This episode was a nice setup for things to come. Next episode looks like things are going to get spicy |
 |
| That departure scene at the end was slightly ominous after everything that's happened, people saying farewells to their fiancées and such. Then again, the narrator didn't butt in to say that this was the last time X and Y spoke or anything. I'm guessing the scene was equivalent to the narrator saying "The trip wasn't going to be as smooth as everyone expected.". Showing farewells almost always means that it's not self-evident everyone will come back. |
| Best comic relief in the series. And for a second Bittenfeld had me convinced that he actually likes ballet. I love how intricate and foolproof Rubinsky's plans are: rather than relying on mistakes and missteps from Reinhard and Reuenthal (i.e. two people who don't make many of them), he corrals them into courses of action that are, by Reinhard and Reuenthal's own design, very rational and well thought out. Rubinsky is Lang's puppeteer, but he can't hope to ever pull the strings of the likes of Reinhard and Reuenthal -- so he has to settle for simply writing the script of their own puppet shows. |
| I hope Reuenthal doesn't do anything stupid..... |
| Surprised that Hilda hasn't responded yet . . . I kind of thought that she knew she loved him . . . Plus she herself probably feels that he needs a wife, but oh well. Anyways I wonder what is going to happen, Though I get this horrible feeling that Hilda and Reinhard will never see each other again (guessing that Hilda, while visiting Reinhard's sister, will get killed by Terraists) |
 |
| "There was no fistfight at the opera house." LOL. Comedy in this series was something I was least expecting, but there's been quite a lot across the series and it's pretty much always on point. The conversations between Dusty, Walter and Oliver are especially great. |

 |
| I like how this is progressing. I can't wait to see how all this is going to unfold when he arrives on Heinessin. I also like that he's building two more fortresses. |

You've been saying a lot of true things on all your comments. |
|
| So many death flags. If the narrator wasn't so helpful, I'd think everyone would be dead soon. |
| Lovely development and I do wonder what her answer will be when he comes back and hopefully if he comes back!). |
 |
| Bittenfeld''s face made me laugh XD |
 |
| Looks like Hildegarde has finally clear all her doubts about Reinhard's marriage proposal...I thought they was going to drag this out beyond belief, so that's good. |
 |
| if Rubinsky is under all, Reinhard will end this travel badly!!! |
| I feel so bad for Reunthal he and his power complex... I hope the narrator is wrong this time no please be wrong, we don't want to lose another great character, but come to think of it how can we finish 19 episodes without fighting :( |
| With all the unease and potential betrayal bubbling right beneath the surface, I'm really looking forward to seeing Reinhard's sister again. With her calm composure, she always knows the right thing to say. Hopefully she will tell Hilda what she needs to hear (again). |
 |
| Bittenfeld lol Oh no, this seems like a dejavu I just hope the history won't repeat itself There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Reuntal won't rebel He's already thinking about it |

| Poor admirals, dying from boredom seems more horrifying than during battle and it's not as honorable. Pretty great episode, imo LotGH is best when it focusses on schemes outside the battlefield. Giant death flags at the end. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Tense episode. And poor Bittenfeld. Pirating_Ninja said: Surprised that Hilda hasn't responded yet . . . I kind of thought that she knew she loved him . . . Plus she herself probably feels that he needs a wife, but oh well. She's just afraid of him not loving her in return. |
| why did the empire not continue investigating the earth cult after seeing the assassination of yang? why are they so damned oblivious to the fact that there are shadow players pulling the strings? they seem to say "yeah, well that sucks" and not do anything about it. and if they're so concinced that weird fatty is visiting whats his face (i'm bad at remembering names) why not, oh idk, follow him? |

| Bittenfield is a hilarious character , he was flabbergasted not getting invited to the voyage with Kaiser im getting convinced Dominque is Oberstiens spy |
 |
| i'm finding it hard that all the "pawns" aka reunthal and reinhard actually falls for lang aka rubinsky aka earth cult plans. the over dramatic ending where reinhard leaving phezzan, the fact the narrator doesn't says anything spoilering, and the fact that, again, one of the admirals sees his wife/fiance before leaving. it's all very suspicious of the things to come. on the other hand, if the plan of lang aka rubinsky aka earth cult, will succeeds, i dunno how LOGTH will make more than 15 episodes where the events are foreshadowing like this. for an idea, i'm always telling myself that - if one party is telling the plan that the viewer can hear it, from beginning to end, it's guaranteed to fail. only if it was secretly planned it will go as planned and even a twist. so - i wonder how LOGTH will surprise me now. this episode and the tense it creates by simple "chess" pawns political psychological battle, is truly what makes LOGTH masterpiece! |
| Rubinsky slowly becoming more relevant. Let's see how he's going to fail for good this time |
 |
| Hilda still undeciding really makes a significant effect on Reinhards character and behavour in general, hes getting a little bit bored being in charge of the galaxy it seems. The whole bringing admirals to cultural and artistic events was really fun and interactive when being discussed in Mittermeyers meeting Rubinsky seems to be back but only either him or Lang might fully succeed in their ultimate plan |

 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Why do I feel like Reinhard is going to die soon... EDIT: To be clear, I know why I feel this way. Too many red flags are popping up, but why is it happening? It should not be. |
