| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So Oberstein is still around. It looks like Hildegard is the new counterbalance to him. She doesn't have as much sway as Sieg did so it she'll probably have a harder time getting him to act responsibly. Something fishy looks like it's going on behind the scenes. When the admirals were discussing Reinhard's new adjutant their biggest shock was the fact that Oberstein is meekly accepting Commodore Streit taking the post. Even if his opinions are ignored, Oberstein has never been afraid to voice them. I'm getting a nagging suspicion that he may be plotting something. Delving into Mittermeyer and Ruental's past provided an interesting look at what shaped the lives of both men. I don't see where it's fitting in the grand scheme of things at this time though. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| I liked watching the past of Mittermayer and Ruental a lot this episode. Although I wonder what all the backdoor politics that is going around will affect the future episodes. Phezzan is still doing its shady dealings and plannings. |
| Ah, the Oberstein hast returned. That man's quite a schemer, I only hope we get to see what happens soon considering all he let slip past him. Other than that, I enjoyed and was saddened seeing Wolfgang's and Reuenthal's pasts this episode. I understand what Reuenthal went through in his youth, but he needs to give love a second chance. Seeing Wolfgang getting married was something I wasn't planning on seeing, but congratulations to him. |

| nice character development on Wolf and Reuenthal... the ending song is nice... i like it now.. |
| D'aww, Wolfie's flashback was so cute. Especially when his father cheered him on from the greenhouse. tainteddonut said: When the admirals were discussing Reinhard's new adjutant their biggest shock was the fact that Oberstein is meekly accepting Commodore Streit taking the post.

Oberstein is one sneaky bastard. I bet he's going to use the dog somehow, too xD I really like both Reuenthal and Mittermeyer, but I just...miss Kircheis ;__; |

| Nice flashbacks. Those two really are opposites. |

| Better character development than Kircheis and Reinhard in the first season, better animation than the first season, Reinhard seems a bit more nuanced than in the first season, overall I've got a really good feeling about this second season... |

| am i the only one who's having a rough time searching for the episode discussion thread every time i finish an episode?:) no but seriously,mittermeyer's story was awesome,that's why character development matters that much Mittermeyer reminds me of Yang a little so 5/5,character development episodes never fail :) |

And I agree, Mittermeyer is almost the most Yang-ish person on Reinhards side. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Why do I have a bad feeling about the dispatch...? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
 |
| Some fishy stuff is going on here. I didn't picture Oberstein as an animal lover, I just find that amusing. |
| Great episode. Both Oskar and Wolf are favorite characters of mine so it was nice to see some of their pasts. |
 |
| A flashback within a flashback? Loghception? I'm going to have to watch the second half of this episode again -- the politics of the Empire are intricately nuanced. |
| So now we are gonna see what is going to happen w/ the war again? Excited to see how this plan works out. . . |
 |
| Was waiting for some development on those two, great episode! |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Good to see the background of Mittermeyer and Reuental. The story between Mittermeyer and Eva XDDD. Still really sad that Kircheis died :((. Surprised that Oberstein is taking care of a stray dog. Good to know that he has some compassion in him. I'm starting to not hate him as much now. |
| As mentioned already, good to see some backstory for Mittermeyer and Reuental. Makes them even more interesting characters :) |
 |
| Sweet backstory of those two side characters! Quite liked this episode so let's see what's next! |
 |
| I liked the character development this episode Reindhart was awesome this episode as usual I liked the character development of the two twin admirals. The flashbacks were very interesting and gave each of them a good character. This series has the amazing ability to introduce and keep you invested in so many different characters-its insane! |
 |
| Can Mittermeyer and Reuental fill the void of bromance since Kircheis is gone? |
 |
| Good to see development for 2 more characters. Alright episode overall. |
 |
| Really enjoyed the development for Mittermeyer and Reuenta. Also liked the set up for the next battle. No idea how this will end. |
 |
| Nice development for the supporting cast, but I'm more worried about Lohengramm. Seems like he gets more and more impulsive. |
| These backstories of Mittermeyer and Reuenthal were really amusing to watch. Oberstein saved a dalmatian aww :') Weird that Reinhard approved of that idea. I wonder if he has some other plans. |
 |
| I really enjoyed the flashback for the Twin Stars in this episode, especially Mittermayer's...I swear he has the coolest parents ever xD Hopefully this operation goes to shit because I'm tired of Phezzan's shadiness. |
 |
| After watching this episode i must say the show is very unique in its own way. It provides us viewers with a view point to almost anyone, anything that is related to the story. The show cares to the detail, whether it be main or supporting characters, everyone has their own role to play, like a cogwheel of a clock. This makes the show more diverse in its setting and scale. |
| This episode was a prelude of a new great space war, to destroy Inserlhon!!! |
| This was plain boring, the first part was kinda better but not that much. |
| "Greed for collecting human talent" is an interesting trait. |
 |
| Sooo is Phezzan trying to somehow influence Reinhard through this Shaft dude? I don't get how exactly yet, because they seem to be taking Empire's side completely, though. |
| We finally got 2 backstories of the High Admiral They're like the opposite person, but somehow become best friends Maybe because they have same goal despite of different backgrounds And now the real war starts again I'm surely Free Alliance Planets or Yang's side will win Otherwise there won't be a balance at all, Yang's side will be wiped out so fast Anyway I'm rooting for Yang |
"Signature removed"   |
| Kircheis can't be replaced, he was the only one who could temper Reinhard(o)-sama ;_; but nonetheless, the backstories for Mittermeyer and Reuenthal were pretty great, like those two a lot. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| 2021 Rewatch At first Reinhard appears to show mercy to Oppenheimer. Reinhard takes swift action on bribery attempts. Basically telling Oppenheimer that he's useless, compared to Streit. Consoling the strands of hair that belonged to Kircheis... First we get Wolfgang Mittermeyer/Sturm Wolf's backstory. Fumbled buying a gift, his gardening father rooting for him in the distance to confess his love/propose to Eva. Then we get the much darker backstory of Oskar von Reuenthal, born with heterochromia...a very unfortunate thing to have in an empire filled with discrimination. The cause behind it is quiet fanciful (because his mother was thinking of a brown eyed man). But the result is still very tragic; having his eye about to be gouged out, his mother committing suicide and his drunken father becoming distant. Mittermeyer keeps quiet about Reuenthal's story as a good friend should. |

 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| so wut u tellin me is REUENTHAL A SIGMA MALE |
 |
| Just as I thought how unusually cute Mittermeyer's backstory was and nobody even died, Ruenthal's backstory starts... it was kinda funny in a way. |
  |
| myrtmier and reunatl are quite opposites it's funny lol. myrtmier is the american-ish soldier, while reuntal is the tragic family one. something is truly shady about obsteiner. and the easiness reinhard had agreed to this plan made me wonder ... |
| Now that Rubinsky sides with the Empire, Yang Wenli would need to step up massively to somehow turn the situation around. And holy shit the dude with the portrait gave me a heart attack for a moment there, thought he was going to pull out a fucking bazooka lol. |
| Backstory time! Phezzan is also Phezzaning as usual |
 |
| Really great Oscar and Mittermeyer flashbacks, so glad to see them getting well deserved development and attention, they seem to be a pretty opposite but amazing duo. Rubinsky trying to side with empire is definitely part of bigger plan that he hopes would succeed, but hopefully Logenheim will be able to see trough this or maybe Oberstein will get involved in it some way. Great episode, great development of characters and rising tension |
| i really love reuenthal and mittermeyer, opposite characters but perfect togheter |
