English Dub Review: Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These “The Twin Pillars”

Overview:

Among the admirals under Reinhard’s command, Wolfgang Mittermeyer and Oskar von Reunthal have earned outstanding fame for their many achievements, and are commonly known as the Twin Pillars. The two are bound by a deep friendship.

Our Take:

What I love about shows like this is that they show us both sides of a conflict. We learn about the war from combatants fighting each other. We don’t want anyone to be hurt because we have been shown the lives of everyone. But since this is a war story I imagine that is going to make certain parts really heartbreaking. Not everyone will make it out alive, unfortunately.

I might have found my favorite character in Wolfgang Mittermeyer. He’s got a good romantic side and you all know I love me some romance. Not only that but he’s a good officer and stands up for what is right. Whether they are a part of the nobility or not. I didn’t want this episode to end and I’m nervous to see the outcome. My only gripe is that we got into flashbacks within flashbacks so it was a bit hard to follow at times. But getting to hear the voices of Josh Grelle, Ricco Fajardo, Clifford Chapin, and Aaron Dismuke was a huge treat and I hope we get more of these characters in future episodes.
