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.

Before they were legends... Before they were heroes...

They were kids. They were friends.

Reinhard and Kircheis, with a bond stronger than brotherhood, they would face many enemies and many battles, but with their unending love and loyalty they would prosper. But nothing is eternal...

[Kayaba]

Seeing Reinhard and Kircheis early days in this OVA, and glimpses of some of the future characters...honestly I feel like this is even more precious for me than the main series.

Oi... just listening to this song brings up a lot of feels, I always get teary with this song because the lyrics just really hit me and make me think on my personal life. I wish I had the beautiful friendship Reinhard and Siegfried had.

[JustaFan]

Heart touching song, I didn't skip it once

This OP always feels like Reinhard having a dream or reflecting on his childhood and simpler times after Kircheis' death. Probably one of the saddest openings in LOGH for me.

[TheWorldBelowDnD]

Me: gaiden openings can't make me tear up.

Gaiden op: 0:48

[roronoazoro]

0:55 These smiles. We need to protecc these smiles.

[tempestofsouls]

That shot at the end where Reinhard and Kircheis are watching the battleship take off into the horizon. Damn.

[stevangucu]

I played this parallel with the fourth opening of the LOGH main series, it is incredible how well it syncs!

[wpbrada]

Openings are cheesy but I still love them.
