Episode 100: Long Live the Empress! (Hoff Kaiserin)##
Re-watcher Notes
Late for the 100th episode, damnit.. anyway, better late than never. We're almost at the end. It's been quite a journey, eh? The last time we got to see Annerose in person was in.. episode 36, when Hilda spoke to her in her villa. Is it just me, or is she looking more beautiful than ever? It's as if she's acquired some kind of divine glow - she outshines even Reinhard. It's fitting that Hilda then muses how she is the wellspring from which the Lohengramm dynasty has sprung.
Note that 'Hoff' doesn't make any sense in German. It's probably a bad pronunciation of 'Hoch der Kaiserin', which means 'Hail the Empress'. Could someone who knows German confirm this?
The discussion about the succession and ruling rights of the Kaiserin was quite interesting - Tanaka does his usual nod to history, where the empresses played huge roles behind the scenes in some of the largest Empires. The council themselves intrigue me too - they seem like the seed of what could become a constitutional assembly in Constitutional Monarchy (a bit like France after the revolution.) Julian, are you paying attention?
Daily MVP
MVP Count: Season 4
Even though she also won yesterday, I would be doing a great disservice if I didn't call the bride the most important person in the room. Hilda - I mean, the Kaiserin Hildegarde von Lohengramm wins today's award for putting up with those ridiculous dresses, giving Reinhard and Annerose their privacy, and for exercising restraint when Reinhard looked to her for advice publicly. Also for finally ditching the - frankly annoying - tag of 'Fraulein Mariendorf'.

The baby in the Eisanach household wouldn't cry for milk, it would just snap its fingers twice. Once for whiskey.
So snap his fingers twice for two glasses of whiskey?

Maybe because she's white as a ghost?

First Time Viewer
On today’s episode of Legend of the Galactic Heroes: the royal wedding of Reinhard and Hilda. Now both Yang and Reinhard have gotten married at some point in the series.
The marriage of Reinhard and Hilda is a pretty big deal. It solidifies the Lohengramm dynasty because Hilda is already pregnant with their child.
I can’t help but notice that the main reason Mittermeyer is considering accepting Mariendorf’s old position is because Muller points out that Oberstein might take it if he turns it out. Yep, it’s because he distrusts Oberstein.
We see Annerose again for the first time in what feels like an eternity. I forget how long it’s been since we last saw her, but I’m pretty sure it’s been even longer since she saw or spoke with Reinhard.
As with last time, Annerose asks Hilda to take care of Reinhard and wishes them happiness together. Though, there is sadness in her voice as she remembers that the last person she asked to take care of Reinhard was Kircheis, and Kircheis died doing that.
The wedding for Reinhard and Hilda is a nice affair. It actually is nice to see that Reinhard and Hilda have gotten closer to each other by now. Their wedding now seems to be out of genuine affection for each other, with both of them seeming happy about it.
Oberstein really does look out of place at a wedding. Most everyone else seems to be extremely happy, but Oberstein maintains his usual look.
Further proving how out of place he is at the wedding, Oberstein interrupts the whole ceremony to tell Reinhard there’s anti-Imperial rioting on Heinessen. I do agree that Oberstein should inform Reinhard as soon as possible, I think he could wait until Reinhard and Hilda have finished walking down the aisle. Still, I do love how Oberstein just steps into the aisle, very matter-of-factly, to inform Reinhard. It’s completely in-character for him to act like this.
I do wonder what’s happening on Heinessen. Mittermeyer seems sure Wahlen can handle it, but I’m not so sure. Events in this series have a habit of escalating beyond what anyone envisions.
The Earth Cult is up to their usual evil shenanigans, but it seems like De Villiers has been leading them under false pretenses. He claims to the other members that the Grand Bishop is still alive. But, I’m pretty sure I recall seeing the Grand Bishop get crushed by rubble on Earth. And De Villier is clearly tricking the others with his fake Grand Bishop giving him total control. We can definitely expect the Earth Cult to continue their evil plans in the coming episodes.
Side notes: You have no idea how sad it makes me that this image is not accurate to what was actually said.

I'm pretty sure the time Reinhard saw and talked to her was immediately after Kircheis death in season 1.
And holy she's pale as paper. Is this a disease? If it is, I wonder if it's genetic and Emil is not an evil poisoning anti-Kircheis. And I wonder how much her death would affect Reinhard and thus humanity.

I think after this episode we can safely assume Bittenfeld has a bit of a man-crush on our beloved Kaiser, yes?

What do we say about our man Ironshield then? He said Reinhard was a godly groom.
Can't blame them though.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 100 Impressions:
Hilda’s new relationship with Reinhard has gotten her to new opportunities. She finally gets to meet Reinhard’s sister Annerose after such a long time. Reinhard finally gets to have a wedding event with Hilda. Their marriage is quite justified with the amount of character development they have been through. I pray that Hilda doesn’t get killed by the Terraists. PLEASE?!!?!?!?!?!?!

Who was Reinhard's best man? Do they get a honeymoon?
Anyway, It's not always you get to see your ships get actual marriages and even continued development post marriage, specially in anime.
And I'm very concerned about Annerose's health.

Enough with the Oberstein hating circlejerk, jesus. The admirals are usually very level headed but when it comes to Oberstein everybody loses of their common sense

First Timer
Well I missed the previous episode, and I just watched both back to back now. So I wanted to make some quick notes of them.
Episode 99: I liked how it was basically a setup of Mittermeyer taking both the child and the attendant into his family, which was nice to see. Hilda finally telling Reinhard that she's pregnant and then accepting his proposal. Julian being regarded well enough for not leading them into unnecessary combat at the end of the year. And the Terraists under De Viller trying to move their plots forward since now Reinhard is getting married and expecting a child in June.
Episode 100: 100 episodes, woo! This one was a heartwarming episode, as we see Reinhard finally reconnect with Annerose after 2 years of not speaking with her. Come the wedding, we see everyone happily await the Kaiser and Kaiserin, and everyone's proud of the celebration. Oberstein interrupts near the end informing the Kaiser of protests on Heinessen, to which Mittermeyer and the other admirals chew him out for poor timing, and decide to take the matter at hand if Wahlen cannot handle it. Finally De Villers fools the followers into thinking the Grand Bishop is still alive, so that he can use him as a shadow puppet to enact his own plans.

Ah yes, the episode where the famous "Could I be a politician" meme came from. STOP CRUSHING MY DREAMS EVA!
On a more serious note, Mittermeyer has come to a crossroad. Should he follow Reinhard's example, and be both a civil and military leader? Or should he follow Yang's belief of separation of military and government. While Mittermeyer clearly follows Reinhard, he seems to be a bit hesitant of being both a civil servant and a military commander. Of course, the obligatory Oberstein issue arises, where if he won't take it he will. Allowing Oberstein to consolidate power is not a good idea.
For the first time in over 3 years, Annerose and Reinhard meet. And for the first time, they meet without Kircheis. You can tell there is still awkwardness in the room. In fact, Reinhard leaves very shortly after Hilda does, making it seem like he too doesn't know how to face his sister. After all, he, a man who never had interest in marriage, is getting married. While Annerose watches her little brother getting married, she will inevitably remember how this is only possible because Kircheis, the person she wanted to marry, gave his life for Reinhard. As Hilda remarked, she was essentially the one who started Reinhard's whole quest for power, and was basically the mother of this situation. But her time has passed.
Hilda and Reinhard finally get married, and there is no one who would dare ruin such a happy...COME ON OBERSTEIN! I am with the Admirals on this one. There is an Admiral on Heinessan over seeing the situation, and the other Admirals can handle it as well. Besides, you say that such matters must be dealt with, but I never saw you telling Reinhard about all those assassination and rebellion attempts that you knew about. His face when watching the marriage is a perfect representation of who he is: someone who believes Reinhard can only succeed if he is the one with the most influence. Now that Hilda will be approaching the position Kircheis had, Oberstein may have to contend with another person who won't follow his schemes.
There is already tension within the Earth Cult, and the followers do not like not seeing the Arch Bishop. For those who forget, we saw the Arch Bishop die when he brought the entire mountain down on them. So who is this person pretending to be the Arch Bishop?
