sigh. I jsut got volume 11.... just as you said, right up to the end of
season 1. I get the feeling that as the manga drew on, the art style got
sketchier, messier perhaps.

So was it jsut me, or are others a wee bit disgruntled about the mangaka's
depiction of kircheis' death? i can understand that she didn't want her
manga to follow the anime too closely, but a lot of the subtle touches in
the anime that i loved so much were done away with constant in-the-head
narrations and flashbacks. I can't really say, because i haven't read the
novels and only have the anime to compare with, however, it really felt
that the other admirals were severely downplayed during that scene. :/
Though the scene is suppose to emphasize Reinhard and Kircheis. I'm not
sure, but much of it felt less dignified, more over-emotional drama. (ie.
annerose crying in front of the communications consul, Reinhard screaming
a _lot_ more hysterically)
I'm sorry, perhaps I'm nitpicking about it too much.
I can't help but to laugh at the very end when Reinhard wonders if Yan
Wenli will fill the void in his heart as a friend or an enemy, I couldn't
help but laugh seeing the image of Yang with his sunglasses. it seems that
is his "serious" picture _everyone_ thinks of when taking yang seriously.
Thouh I suppose, putting a picture of yang with a toothbrush in his mouth
during that scene wouldn't have been appropriate. :b
