English Dub Review: Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These “Fortress vs. Fortress Akt I: Cannon Fire”

Overview:

Admiral Kempff, Commander-in-Chief of the Geiersburg Imperial expeditionary force, sends a peremptory declaration of war to the Alliance garrison of Iserlohn. Then Geiersburg’s main gun suddenly opens fire with devastating results. On Iserlohn, a confused Caselnes and his officers do not seem to agree on the best strategy to take…

Our Take:

I definitely wasn’t expecting mechs to show up. That was cool, and I am even more hyped for next week’s continuation of this battle. Some of the fighter designs are a little off but I still love space combat so I was excited to see this battle finally start.

Yang has not shown up yet so I imagine it will start to seem lost and then he will show up at the last second. It will probably be the end of the next episode, but it’s clear he is needed. The acting commander made quite a few blunders. Some of the tactics used were really ingenious, I love seeing smart battle tactics, I always enjoyed studying famous generals.
