:D I think this is what the words “I don’t even” were created for. :DDDD

They’re those cute little fangs that sometimes, but not always, hang out of characters’ mouth. Probably not quite yaeba, but maybe that’s the intention? That aside he looks pretty much the same he does in the OVA, only, like everyone else, more age-appropriate, and I guess more manga-esque. I really like this design! Possibly even more than Reuenthal’s.

……come on, Reinhard & Kircheis. The guy was drenched! How about you give him a bath and then, since his size is so different from either of you, let him lounge around in a towel or something until his clothes dry…

Roi’s outfit is impeccably clean even after spending all that time trudging through a marsh killing enemy soldiers. Imperial army tech: always focusing on the important things. Can’t have our soldiers look filthy.

Ladies and gentlemen…

(If you didn’t hear my squee during all this it’s because it’s so loud it transcended dimensions or something.)

I wonder if we’ll see him getting beaten up…

That’s Braunschweig and… Flegel? Is that Flegel? Haha, he looks so, I dunno, not shifty at all. :D Which I suppose might be the point.

I’ll never get enough of Reuenthal kneeling for Reinhard. Hnnng…

That aside, hm, this frames their first meeting and the basis of their relationship rather differently? The novel doesn’t really detail the circumstances of how they met, only that they met at Iserlohn and eventually became close friends. Here, they meet in battle, and Reinhard pretty much thinks that they’re so different in every way that normally they wouldn’t get along at all, and so their friendship is one that could only develop on the battlefield. Which is I guess one way to look at it? Certainly it’s interesting to think of how these two would ever get to the point of developing a friendship. (No wonder the anime had them meet in a barroom brawl. :D) But this approach certainly frames their dynamics in a slightly different way.
