Overview:
The Imperial fleet relentlessly conducts their assault on the Iserlohn Corridor, one blow after another. As Caselnes is still struggling with organizing an effective resistance, Imperial armored infantry units have landed on Iserlohn, and threaten to establish a bridgehead. Then, former Imperial admiral Merkatz, who defected to the Alliance, asks to be assigned temporary command of the garrison fleet.
An Alliance relief fleet is finally heading to the Iserlohn Corridor, but combat forces on the battlefield are limited, and a wrong move could turn fatal. Should the Iserlohn garrison fleet be unable to break the blockade imposed by Kempff’s ships, the reinforcements from Heinessen would be easily destroyed. On the command bridge of Iserlohn, Caselnes and his officers animatedly discuss the countermeasures, but what sounds like the best plan comes from somebody most unexpected.
Our Take:
We got two episodes after receiving none last week. In fact, the only problem is how it ends because it is definitely a cliffhanger city. Though it does confirm there will be another episode because it said “next time”. After a cursory Google search, it seems that it has been renewed for a fourth season. I really like this show and love battle tactics plus the sci-fi element is fantastic.
An anime like this lives and dies with its characters as we know but there are some fantastic ones in this series. I feel like saying Yang is the best is too easy but I truly love that character and Ian Sinclair brings him to life so well. His arc was also really fun to watch these last few episodes when he was interacting with the council.
I really wish we didn’t take so long to get to the battle because I had a feeling it would take a lot of runtime and it still isn’t finished. There were traps and plans laid within more traps and plans between all the battlefield commanders. But Kempff orders the biggest gamble of all and I’m a bit upset we have to wait so long to see it concluded. Suffice it to say I am really excited to see this battle come to an end.
