lol @ the end. I think kircheis pampered Reinhard too much with his emotional support. Seriously.
I can see where this arc fits in the lotgh-verse thematically and in terms of story. Next ep, probably Bucocks and Reinhards time to shine.
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')
hahahaha . . . Anyways, was that random dude just being stupid on purpose to piss Reinhard off? I mean, isn't it obvious that those ships have only so long a range before they run out of energy (and that range is not 10 or 100 years)
Nice fanservice with hair play and those words about kindness.
But as much as I enjoy how gay and ship worthy it all looks, I honestly love the idea of friendship that can be so sweet and endearing even more so. Closeness and importance to each other doesn't have to come in only one shape of relationship or harbour any extra meaning behind it.
Regardless, the more they show us how deeply connected and irreplaceable they are to each other, the more heartbreaking it is...
I feel Reinhard is much more yapsome and angsty in the Gaiden. Maybe because he still has to meet those gifted people who'll work under him.
Kircheis is like a brother figure, a medicine for stress - wonder how can he hold it together. Truly the "strongest" in the galaxy.
"All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo
