*** Kircheis also has the singular honor of not having lost his fleet engagement with Yang.
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Ivan Konev, Olivier Poplin
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]:
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]:* The 2015 manga, while staying true to the novels, incorporates elements from the OVAs (especially the ship designs) as well as the mangaka's own take on the Empire and Alliance. All the while expanding on the backstories of Reinhard and Yang.
** ''Die Neue These'', meanwhile, both streamlines a number of plotlines from the first season of the OVAs and expounds on various details taken from the original novels, such as how the Kastrop Rebellion actually played.
* [[A Child Shall Lead Them]]: {{spoiler|Erwin Josef II, who ascends the Galactic Throne at the age of five after the death of Friedrich IV}}. Also, {{spoiler|his successor, Kaiserin Catherine, who is only 8 months old at the time of her ascension}}. Neither of them stay in power for very long, however.
** Technically, {{spoiler|Reinhard's son Alexander Siegfried. But the real power lies in the hand of Kaiserin-Regent Hildegard, and Reinhard explicitly asks her to remove their son's right to rule or to move to democracy if she finds it necessary}}.
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
:* Brought up in the 2015 manga when Yang tries to explain to a young Julian about the numerous casualties from past assaults on Iselohn. Alex Cazerne however cuts in, commenting about the logistics and scale needed just to ''deal'' with those grieving from said casualties.
{{quote|'''A. Cazerne''': "'Boom?' Come on...Try having to deal with calculating the war damage and the compensation for the bereaved families after a battle."}}
* [[Animation Bump]]:
* [[Animation Bump]]:* Episode 7, {{spoiler|the first capture of Iserlohn Fortress}}, is noticeably better produced and animated than all preceding and many later episodes.
** ''Die Neue These'' is arguably this compared to many of the OVA episodes. This is partly to do with the additional budget and the effort put by [[Production I.G]].
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Characters die, often unexpectedly, regardless of their minor or main status. Of the speaking roles in the 1st Episode only a few characters live to see the finale (A number don't make it past the second episode).
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: Cybernetic replacement limbs for amputees are apparently quite common in the setting, but offer no obvious advantage over natural ones. Wahlen gets one of these when his left arm had to be amputated due to an assasination attempt.
Line 553 ⟶ 557:
** That computer is shown to have 566198844 megabits of RAM (539 terabits), though.
** Subverted in the 2015 manga, which makes a conscious, deliberate effort to update the futuristic aspects to be more in line with contemporary works (holograms, touch-screen panels, etc.). At the same time however, it retains many of the [[Days of Future Past]] elements seen in the books and OVAs.
** Further subverted in 2018's ''Die Neue These''. The remake substantially replaces much of the '70s and '80s Zeerust with how people from [[The New Tens]] would envision the future to an even greater extent than the manga. Paradoxically, the [[Days of Future Past]] aspects are even given more emphasis.
* [[Zerg Rush]]: The Alliance actually relies on this tactic to win the very first battle of the series (Astarte). Predictably, they don't.
** The Empire also used the same attack in the same battle, to a greater effect.
