First episode and this series already starts with some action. Lots of dialogue too, which makes the episode pass a tad quickly IMO

Let's see where this will go.

not the most exciting episode but still very captivating. The tactics were decent from Reinhard but the alliance were incredibly poor. I do like the contrast between the old, set in their ways officers and the young, energetic officers.

At first I was afraid of the number of characters that are presented in a short span, but once you are inmerse in the dynamics of the show, everything simply flows. This episode centred more in Reinheart and we instantly know that he is a loyal presence and a master in war strategy. This anime started amazing with a good pace, hopefully it lasts that way.

I was iffy about the first 2 episodes but things really pick up and there's some awesome character stuff and nuances going on by Ep4-8 (I'm at so far). Recommend anyone on the fence stick with it a bit!

Pretty good, the influence from Star Wars is pretty clear

Ok, so I just attempted to rewatch this episode in order to start watching this again and I couldn't get through the first few minutes without bursting out in laughter.
The dialog about stars is so damn ridiculously cheesy, this is the "superb writing" that people are talking about in this thread? And why the hell does Reinhard look directly at the screen? It's so goofy.
Also there is something weird feeling about the animation, like it's extremely fluid and extremely stiff at the same time.
I know this is just the first episode but this is painful, even if it's unintentionally funny, maybe it gets better after this but dear god I couldn't imagine calling this "the best anime ever made" based on what I just attempted to watch.

I expected the first episode to be boring but that was sick asl. I love how they show both sides of the war--it gives each decision a ton of weight since you can see how one stubborn old guy's idea can result in the deaths of thousands of their allies.

Space battle right out of the gate. Can't argue with that! Let's see where this leads. Already some potentially interesting character development appears to be brewing.

Well, that was a fine introduction and sort of passing the baton episode for the Yan guy.
Let's see if I can enjoy this ride.

When I was watched this a few months ago I didn't realize I was watching Die Neue These until I was several eps in. But now I've found the original and I like it even better. The animation really brings me back to my old Star Blazers days. Nostalgia ftw!

Coming from the newer adaptation of Legend of the Galactic Heroes my hopes are through the roof along with all the praise i hear from original anime adaptation. From what i understand the newer anime is a remake of the novels and not the original anime, so thats something to keep in mind.

This first episode was a nice set up along with a solid battle. I personally find the animation throughout to be very nice, older anime and the detail throughout is something ive always enjoyed.

Though this is the first episode we have already seen some action with Reinhard showing off his skills to the admirals and proving that it isnt all about numbers and strategy is a key factor in winning battles.

Yang wen-Li seems to have plans to win the battle but he is stuck working with people who wont listen to him and that proves to be the downfall of them so far. They had three fleets set up and 2 of them got taken out and Yang has lost his best friend. If they would have listened to Yang i feel the outcome would have been alot different.
