The first two episodes were honestly not that exciting to me just because I don't see how there can be 108 more episodes about the same war. But, this episode is different. It doesn't play on the battlefield like the others, but instead plays on a planet, the name of which I have forgotten. Also, in this episode we follow a main protagonist, Yand Wen-Li and instead of playing on the either side of the war , our story only plays in the republic. Well, if you could even call it a republic. Because this is exactly what this episode is about, it is here to portray to us that not all democracies are perfectly democratic. This so called " free" country has a secret military that's seemingly very similar or reminds me of the red army of the Soviet union. So it is not free, as it removes the opposition, -in this case a lady who's husband was a general and died in the war. This episode gives a great message: to stand up against flawed democracies even if you get punished severaly. I'm still not sure how this is one of the greatest animes according to reviews but I'm eager to find out! I hope this will be good!
