Summary:
For decades, the Galactic Empire has been locked in an interstellar war with the Free Planets Alliance, a conflict that involves thousands of spaceships and millions of soldiers on both sides. Two new commanders enter the conflict with great hopes: Imperial Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm and the FPA's Yang Wen-Li. As they deal with superiors and subordinates, maneuver through complicated political arrangements, plot strategies, and win battles, each will be tested, and ultimately, changed, by the reality of war.

Op 1, 2, and 3 took all of their accents, and shoved them right here.

0:33 You can see Eisenach giving us a stern thumbs up

Despite the engrish, this OP is my favourite. It truely feels like the conclusion of the series. To quote the OP "We've come but its only a start"

A sad but fulfilling and wonderful song that anticipates the end of this work. Those who complain about the pronunciation should leave it alone. When this song was played at the end of the film, I felt that Reinhardt's journey was coming to an end, and I cried. Thank you, Reinhardt, for a short but turbulent life. Rest well!

“He would leap into the flames without a second thought if it were for the sake of his ideals, his ambitions, or of course what he loves—or hates. […] It’s why he still grieves the loss of Siegfried Kircheis so deeply."
"This was clearly an act of compensation directed at his deceased friend; it was not until the final part of his short life that the flower of magnanimity would bloom in the soil of Reinhard’s psyche."
"Kircheis had shared the warmest, brightest part of Reinhard’s life."
"Kircheis was a part of him, and when Kircheis had been alive, Reinhard had lived a life twice as great..."

- some parts from book 10. The nearer he come to the end of his life, the more Reinhard think back to Kircheis.

they were tired of the english openings better better than their japanese endings so...

[mauriciomorais]

What a letdown. Bad lyrics, bad rhymes, awful engrish, low energy melody.
The worst of the 4 openings.
