LOGH thread

So I just watched all of the prequel gaidens, and I really liked them.

Thoughts on the prequels?

Here are some of my thoughts:
>Spiral Labyrinth
This story starts out nice, showcasing Yang Wenli's childhood and how he became the hero of El Facil. It is somewhat boring in the middle, but once the prison riot breaks out, it picks up again. The conspiracy across both FPA and Empire is interesting, Yang Wenli is always fun to watch and the supporting cast is nice (With the old prisoner and Patrichev being the stand outs). 7/10.

>Valley of White Silver
This is a really nice action story. We get some of the best animation LOGH has ever had. Reinhard was a badass while fighting both the FPA and his own superiors. Overall a solid arc. 8/10.

>The Mutineer
This one was also nice, with Reinhard being a mutineer and trying to save the ship from incompetent commanders. The crew were all typical tough, but good soldiers, but I liked them. The arc itself was intense, with high stakes and it was cool to see Reinhard win over the crew with his charisma and caring style of leadership. 9/10.

>The Duelist
One of the weaker arcs. The setup is interesting, with Reinhard accepting an honourable duel, not knowing that his opponent is an assassin. The fact that Reinhard is the main character of the main series, kinda spoils the whole outcome. The evil aristocrats get a little bit more screen time, setting them up as villains. Also, Lutz had a cool cameo, showing off his famous marksmanship. But thats about it. 6/10.

>The Retriever
Another intense arc, showing Reinhard taking part in a super secret mission. There are some flaws, but those are minor things. Seeing how Reinhard met Wahlen, Müller and Eisenach is also nice, and doesn’t come off as fanservice, since he had to meet them somewhere. 9/10.

>Morning's Dream, Night's Song
Now this is one boring arc. Reinhard goes back to school to play detective. The mystery was basic, with your obvious red herring and final twist. Nothing much to say about this one. 5/10.

>A Hundred Billion Stars, A Hundred Billion Lights
Now this is by far the best part of the gaiden. We got some nice ground combat, while a fleet battle is going on, with almost all of the main players here. Rosen ritters get their own origin story. Grimmelshausen was an interesting and nice character. Many of the series regulars played small parts here and there (Reuental and Mittermeyer, Bittenfeld, Kempf, Kesler, Yang, Bucock, Ovlesser, Mückenberger etc.). Lüneburg was an alright villain. The fleet battle at the end is real nice and on the scale of the main shows battles. It was cool that Yang and Reinhard were already fighting eachother before they knew it. Rosen ritters get the best moments, with them singing on conquered ships to challenge their former commander. 10/10.

>The Third Battle of Tiamat
An FPA admiral acts retarded and uses the time honored tactic of: LEEROY JENKINS!!! against the empire. Unfortunately for him, Reinhard is there to bitch slap him back to reality. Seeing the Brünhild for the first time was really nice. And Rainhard loosing his cool and getting mad was really funny. 8/10.

>Disgrace
And we end this epic saga on another damn detective story. The mystery was not that interesting, since drug use was never a plot point in the main ova. That being said, this arc did give Kircheis time to shine and some character development. His zero gravity fight was really cool. The old detective was also a fun character. Not as boring as the other detective story, but nothing that great either. 6/10
