That was was definitely better than Conquest. Hell, that was better and more well-made than the original series, IMO. Absolutely beautiful art. Years ahead of its time. And like Conquest, it had that different feel. More...realistic. That's the best way I can think to describe it. Honestly, I wish that I had watched Conquest and Overture, then started the original series from ep three or whatever. I want to assume that they are canon. Because they are much better than the first two eps of the original.

The movie was not without its inaccuracies though. For instance, when Lap died in the original, he took out a picture of Jessica. In the movie, he has her handkerchief. Another example is that when Yang's ship was hit in the original, Attenborough sustained a broken arm or something. In the movie, he was perfectly fine. Paeta's injuries also seemed less severe in the original. Finally, in the movie, it was winter on Heinessen and Odin. Evidenced by how Reinhard could see his breath
after seeing the Kaiser, and when Yang visited Lap's grave at the end. Also, Attenborough was with him in the original when he visited Lap's grave. There were some other smaller differences, like what people said or where exactly they were, but that would go into extreme nitpick territory

We also got the backstory of Astate. I felt that it was much needed, because there was so much I didn't understand about it when I first watched it. The stupid nobles took Mittermeyer, Reuental, and Mecklinger from Reinhard, explaining why only Kircheis was with Reinhard. We also learned about Lap, which helped me sooo much. When he first died, I was like, "Who the heck is this guy and who is he getting a main character's death?" Now I'm legit sad that he died Fahrenheit actually got some lines too. It was actually some nice foreshadowing for him joining Reinhard's staff after the Lippstadt War.

Also, does anyone else think that it would be kinda interesting to see more of Yang and Attenborough as staff officers? I found it pretty entertaining. Also, the series as a whole does not have enough Reinhard+Kircheis+Annerose scenes. I love those scenes. I feel like it's the only time that Reinhard is ever truly happy. Though, there are things that the series as a whole could have less of.

Like the retarded commanders. I can understand it on the Imperial side, due to all the nobility and favortism etc.. But why on the Alliance side? I'd be all right if they had just gone through a huge era of peace. Because there wouldn't have been any wars for people to distinguish themselves in (I imagine that the beginning of the war had many inexperienced commanders who struggled in real battle). You'd think that in a 150 year war, only people with actual skill could be fleet admirals. It's not like the Alliance was that short on manpower at the beginning of the series either >.>

Now, for funnies. I lol'd when I saw Housewife Julian again. I can't even remember the last time he appeared like that. And it even gave Cazellnu an appearance. And I lmao'd when Yang trolled Trunicht when he asked what it takes to win a battle. It was right in front of Paeta too. What's worse, is that Trunicht fell for it -_-

The only thing missing from the movies was Rosenritter pwnage. And Bagdashu.

This made me sad




Will watch Golden Wings this weekend.
