Finished the first batch of Gaidens.
The Silver-White Valley was rather too dramatic for my tastes,but the animation for each episode is top notch and ,outside of being ludicrously bombastic with the fist fighting ambush segments were worth watching.
The detective adventures of Kircheis and Reinhard were fine.Nothing special and things made sense, but besides providing more Kircheis and Reinhard while fleshing out the world and the reasons they do things as well as providing decent mysteries and sad stories. Can't complain about getting more Kircheis,inoffensive as he is without Reinhard, he needed that screentime and it's nice seeing him again after finishing the series.
Kreuznach was a neat setting
A Hundred Billion Stars, a Hundred Billion Lights was closer to the series, even while mostly on the ground and Reinhard not being allowed to do shit being a point. Containing all the moral/strategic/political complexity and occasional unpleasentness that was common in the series.Whiny Reinhard is genuinely funny.
Meele combat was looked and the Risenrotter were great as always. I actually felt bad for Grimmelshausen, old man knows he only gets by on being on the good graces of everyone, shame he never had an honest dialogue with Kircheis or Reignhard. Would have been interesting with what Reinhard said two side stories ago.
Ovlesser was also surprisingly fun here, he was a dick, but he knew what Lüneburg was doing and refused to play ball while having a strong presence.
I also really liked what they did with Lüneburg, the whole situation with him Schönkopf and Reinhard was entertaining and pitiful towards the end.

I liked them too due to being well put together and the sheer amount of shit happening, but if you put that stuff on front it's hard to truly care,especially if the first few episodes were underwhelming until both Yang and Reinhard rose to power and shit hit itPost too long.
