Photoset of flagships and admirals from “Tragedy”, Chapter 20 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These, Stellar War (Serian). All of the Imperial admirals made an appearance in this chapter except for Bittenfeld. Finally got to see a clear shot of Gustav Kempf’s flagship, the Galdhøpiggen.

Photoset of collaged screencaps from “Bloodshed in Space”, Chapter 18 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These, Stellar War (Seiran).
This chapter was wonderful in giving the Twin Pillers—Oskar von Reuenthal and Wolfgang Mittermeyer—center stage. I enjoyed the mecha-power-suit combat of the Galactic Imperial Navy Armored Grenadiers, and High Admiral Ovlesser had me laughing so hard when he dragged Reinhard von Lohengramm on the communications hail. Ovlesser pushed Reinhard’s buttons and this is the first time we see him livid. Reinhard goes from bidding Reuenthal and Mittermeyer to give Ovlesser a “glorious death”, to furiously ordering them to “bring that scumbag” to him.
After the Twin Pillars accomplish the goal, they are congratulated-and-infuriated by Paul von Oberstein, who shows up looking like Death Barely Warmed Over with plans for Ovlesser that don’t include allowing Reinhard to rip the man’s tongue out. While that may have been more satisfying for Reinhard, Oberstein’s plan is much more effective at making the most of every opportunity to advance their political goals (as always).

I really loved Chapter 17’s callback to Chapter 14 where Reinhard promotes both Kircheis and Oberstein to important dual leadership roles despite Oberstein’s warning of the risk. In Chapter 17, Bewcock turns down the same kind of promotion, stating that, “We must disperse any risks.” It’s also a foreboding sign that those asking for Bewcock to assume two very different and powerful leadership positions have a similar line of thinking as Reinhard.

Collaged screencaps from Chapter 14: ‘Demise of the Emperor’ of Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These, Stellar War (Seiran). This chapter was gorgeous, everything and everyone was looking great!
The scene during the coronation where Mittermeyer and Reuenthal are exchanging glances about Kircheis had me dying.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (Stellar War), Chapter 13, Battle of Amritsar
Below: Flagships Brünhild and Barbarossa looking sleek and gorgeous; and Siegfried Kircheis talks some sense into a surly Reinhard von Lohengramm.
I really enjoyed Chapter 13 “Battle of Amritsar”, and am looking forward to the rest of the episodes (the Seiran film cut into episodes on Crunchyroll). It has plenty of action and interpersonal drama. Some of the characters have had their designs adjusted, the flagships got prettied up, and some of the resolution and strategy of the battle is different than it was in the OG series, and I like the way this was done much better.
Time for gratuitous screenshot collages with commentary and a little bit of meta!
Mild spoilers below.

So far I’m enjoying all of the character re-designs in Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These, but this new design for Anton Ferner / Fellner [ アントン・フェルナー ] gives me a big sad.
DNT Ferner looks like discount Kircheis in that scene from the new trailer and that’s a crime against all beautiful male subordinates. At first I thought he was Kircheis is disguise but the voice didn’t match up and was confused why the Japanese text said “Anton Ferner.” Please let that ugly mop be a disguise-wig, I know you can design better than this Production I.G.

X-Men ‘97 episode 3.
Wow. Beast getting his pun game on. The dialogue had me rolling. I’m glad the show isn’t taking itself too seriously. The X books have always been a soap opera, and it’s okay to indulge in that and give the audience a laugh at the same time.
Spoilers after the “keep reading”.
