I'm not sure you can make LOGH more fujoshit than the OVAs, especially the gaidens. Maybe with Kensho Ono as Julian.

How pretty will they make Oberstein?

>>145697595
Here is the proper order to watch the whole series if you are interested in chronological order:
Spiral Labyrinth 1-14
Silver-White Valley 1-4
The Mutineer 1-4
The Duelist 1-4
Movie: Golden Wings
The Retriever 1-4
Dreams of the Morning, Dreams of the Night 1-4
One hundred Billion Stars, One Hundred Billion Lights 1-12
3rd Battle of Tiamat 1-2
Movie: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars
Dishonor 1-4
Movie: Overture to a New War
OVA Series 1-110(1-2 are covered in Overture but are still worth watching)


go wild.

>>145698220
more like go mad

>>145698220
I don't like watching things in chronological order, as I prefer release order.

As such I'm going with the My Conquest is the Sea of Stars movie first, then Overture to a New War and then the OVA series.

At least that's what my research gave me.

Then I'll look into rest of it.

>>145698220
I would just recommend watching:

Movie: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars
Movie: Overture to a New War
110 OVA Series

Then watch the Gaidens Prequels, in really any order, recommend chronological though.

This is production order really.

You're welcome

Don't forget to order the finally translated English novels.

First 2 of 10 are already out, with the 3rd coming soon.

With enough sales, hopefully the rest are translated.

It's probably going to be an adaptation of the new manga in Weekly Young Jump that's running right now.
Therefore it will have the same cutesey art-style and more adventurous pacing of the manga.

>>145698344
Thanks.

>>145698298
Waste of time as the previews tell you which storyline is next anyway you're just going to confuse yourself.
The series is based in a novel and some episodes mostly the prequels were only animated later because budget constraints.

I liked just about all of the prequel arcs. Yang breaking out of prison with an old Imperial officer was cool, and Kirechis doing detective work and watching a man kill himself in the name of love was pretty intense. The Duelist was ok, but I dont think it deserves the hate a lot of people give it.

>>145698448
I find it odd how the manga started so back in the timeline though.

Kind of makes sense, but cuts out a lot of the early stuff though.

>>145698448
Got pics of the manga's art style?

>>145698489
Then explain why literally everyone recommends the movie 1 -> movie 2 -> ova series -> prequels ordering, hmm?

>>145698534

That looks absolutely terrible. Generic modern low budget anime tier art with simplistic shapes and giant kawaii uguu eyes.

>>145698579
>the subbing group even recommends
I'd like to see some source on that.

>>145698579
But the main story is the Movies, then the 110 OVA Series.

Most fun of the prequels is seeing the characters you are familiar with again, but before the story.

Like reading The Silmarillion, before the Hobbit or LotR; although the analogy is stretched thin.

>>145698678
It's by the mangaka of Hoshin Engi.
It's very stylized.
It's also a very good adaptation too.
It's an adaptation of the novels, not the anime so stop looking at it that way.

>>145698820
I hate the generic moeblob modern anime kawaii shit so sorry but it looks like utter fucking ass and I don't care about your shitty meme mangaka. It just looks like trash, and when it looks inferior to the old series then why should I even give a fuck seeing as they cover same material?

>>145698784
>Like reading The Silmarillion, before the Hobbit or LotR; although the analogy is stretched thin.
This guy gets it.
Prequels are often made after actual main series and are better experienced that way as well.
Silmarilion is a perfect example of a prequel that should be read AFTER Hobbit and LotR rather than before.

>>145698593
I don't hate the style, but don't immediately like it. After watching Shiki, his style interests me though.

Serves the story well, and might look better later down in production.

>>145698820
>adaptation of the novels

I actually didn't know how many extra characters were added into the LotGH anime, as opposed to the novels, now that they are coming out in English.

>>145698897
You are seriously judging an entire series because you personally don't like the art-style?
Do you realize that you sound 14 years old?
Also, they cover the same material in a different order and with a different atmosphere.
Think The Long Goodbye and The Big Lebowski.

Man I wish I hadn't watched this. I had to watch the ugly LD rips. The first episodes looked more like fucking VCR tapes than anything.
The series is excellent. Go watch the 110 OVAs and the movies, at a least. Didn't bother with the side-stories, myself.

>>145699239
>Do you realize that you sound 14 years old?
He already said he's from /v/.

>>145699239
News flash, art style is important.
You could write the best book in the world, but if it looked, smelled and felt like shit in touch, then no I wouldn't read it.
For me art style is an integral part of the experience, but you're free to like your modern moeshit kawaii uguu garbage if that's your fetish. I'd rather just read the translated novels as they release rather than read that ugly looking manga.

As for Long Goodbye and Big Lebowski, that would only apply if Big Lebowski was said kawaii uguu moeshit that looked like 5 dollar budget drawing by a child. But alas, Big Lebowski actually has good cinematography.

>>145699309
Ebin.

>>145699435
Okay, but you don't seem to realize that just because you don't like the art-style doesn't make it shit.
It's actually very detailed and stylized. Fujimaki is very unique.
Something a mangaka has to be talented in order to do.

Also, your response to TLGxTBL comparison proves that you are actually only 14 years old.

What next, are you going to say One Piece has bad art because you don't like the art-style?

>>145699692
>It's actually very detailed and stylized.
Stylized? Yes, stylized like moeshit that is.
Detailed? How about no. Berserk completely shits all over this in terms of detail, for example.

The fact you resort to pitiful namecalling ad hominem and projections (HURR DURR U 14 FAGGOT) proves to me beyond all doubt that average /a/utist is a fat greasy neckbeard that only watches Slice of Life Kawaii Uguu Moeshit #4712 FOTM.

And if you really want to know, I'll be 25 in October.

And yes, One Piece does look like trash as well, but certainly better than this.
One Piece is also a shitty shonen like Naruto, Bleach and DBZ. Sorry I don't enjoy trash.

>>145699897
>proves to me beyond all doubt that average /a/utist is a fat greasy neckbeard that only watches Slice of Life Kawaii Uguu Moeshit #4712 FOTM

How about I don't and simply enjoy the original series and the novels once they get translated instead?
I still am not going to read your moeshit looking manga adaptation or the upcoming anime adaptation of said manga adaptation if it keeps that dreadful art style.

>>145700036
>I wonder why HBO or Netflix hasn't picked this up for live action TV run with western actors?
Way too expensive probably considering all the spaceship stuff in it.
And even then costume and sci-fi series generally don't sell anymore. Babylon, Stargate, Star Trek all dead.

This is easily the most overrated anime of all time. When I first came to /a/, I didn't hear much about it. About August 2015 I started seeing it being recommended on here. I didn't pay attention to it. Fast forward to 2016, March to be exact, and I'm seeing it being recommended left and right, and being hailed as the greatest anime of all time. Many people even went as far to say that if you didn't like LOGH, you had no taste in anime. So I started to think that I may want to watch it. I went to it's page and found that it was ranked in the top 5.

That's when I initially started watching it. June, 2016.

Now, I watched the first 7 episodes and thought to myself "Well, it's starting off a little slow, maybe it will pick up." You see, by the first episode, I was already bored. I put it on MAL On Hold list.

Then, July 2016, I decided I would give it another chance, I thought that maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind back in June, and that I really had made a mistake by putting it on hold. It turns out it was a mistake to put it on hold, I should have put it where it belonged - in dropped.

You see, it never got any less boring. In fact, it got even more and more tedious, until it at episode 20, it began to be a chore to watch it. I would actually DREAD my anime watching time, because I had to watch LOGH, the 'great anime of all time'. If I could give it a 0 for enjoyment, I would. Hell, this sounds corny, but I would give it a -10, if I could. Alas, I cannot. So I give it a 1. This is about the most boring anime ever.

Shouldn't anime be enjoyable? If an anime isn't enjoyable, hasn't it failed? In my opinion, yes, Anime should be enjoyable. In my opinion, LOGH isn't.

Everything is directly plagiarized from Star Wars. I'm surprised George Lucas didn't sue them. Imagine Star Wars, only with no light sabers, no plasma guns, and no awesomeness. Oh! And it's run by aristocrats from France. Alright, now you have Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

90% of LoGH takes place either in nicely furnished rooms, on the bridges of ships. The spaceships and semicircle formations can easily be full CGI.

GoT is difficult because they have to mix CGI with live action shots, this involves often times ridiculously complicated mixes of CGI and practical effects and costumes.

LoGH has a clear separation between the ships and CGI needed scenes and the drama/dialogue scenes.

I've been caught.

>Not him but Star Wars is older than novels by good 6 years.
It is, but you have no clue what Star Wars is about if you think LoGH is a ripoff.

Star Wars is a science fantasy space opera which focuses on themes of clear demarcations of good versus evil, the struggle of a young boy to find the truth of his past and to bring peace to the universe.

LoGH is a political intrigue period drama masquerading as a science fiction space opera, that deals with themes of moral gray areas and a clash of different systems of government and how people and their decisions sculpt the fates of entire nations and peoples.

>>145702077
>but you have no clue what Star Wars is about if you think LoGH is a ripoff.
I never said that, different person. Merely pointed out that SW is indeed older, whatever implications that may carry.

That homoerotic description kinda fits considering who he was directly inspired by.
> The outward appearance of Alexander is best represented by the statues of him which Lysippus made, and it was by this artist alone that Alexander himself thought it fit that he should be modelled. ² For those peculiarities which many of his successors and friends afterwards tried to imitate, namely, the poise of the neck, which was bent slightly to the left, and the melting glance of his eyes, this artist has accurately observed. ³ Apelles, however, in painting him as wielder of the thunder-bolt, did not reproduce his complexion, but made it too dark and swarthy. Whereas he was of a fair colour, as they say, and his fairness passed into ruddiness on his breast particularly, and in his face. 4 Moreover, that a very pleasant odour exhaled from his skin and that there was a fragrance about his mouth and all his flesh, so that his garments were filled with it, this we have read in the Memoirs of Aristoxenus.

>>145702135
Pretending to be retarded is not a joke, it's the same as being retarded. You're retarded.

No one thinks that. The absurdity generated from that statement is called an attempt at humor, also known as a joke.

Pretending to be retarded is not a joke, it's pretending to be retarded.

>A boy scout comes back from his camp.

This is a joke.

>>145701480
Great bait, 8/10.

>>145702574
Again, it was clearly not pretending to be retarded. A joke is the term for some mechanism used to create humor. Absurdity can be obne such mechanism. Using a absurd statement that no rational person would assume is sincere to try and create humor is a joke.

Saying that the Star Wars series began with Star Wars 7 is an example of a joke using absurdity.

This is not a hard concept.

Another not hard to understand concept is "pretending to be retarded". It's used to deride someone who tries to back track on a sincere, stupid statement or assertion by saying "it was only a joke" or some variant.

Stating absurdity is the same as stating retardation and thus by extension being retarded.

You are everything that's wrong with modern "jokes".

In my day, trolling meant something.

Now it's just a bunch of monkeys throwing shit around while acting retarded and hiding under the cover of "B-B-BUT I WAS MERELY PRETENDING".

>>145702962
The difference in this specific case is that trolling requires an attempt at seeming sincere.

Here there was a simple, single sentence absurd statement.

Another example of an absurd statement is
>You are everything that's wrong with modern "jokes".

Absurdity as humor has been around for longer than you and everyone you know has been alive.

Again, what you can't seem to grasp is that sincerity is necessary for something to be "pretending to be retarded".

>>145703096
We both know that you were sincere about this and are just backpedalling harder than politicians on their pomises.

LOGH is like a grand requiem for Bubble Era anime excess. Glory days of cocaine fueled producers making it rain cash for greenlit projects of wild ambition (LOGH) to utter randomness (California Crisis). LOGH: 100+ OVAs? Go for it!

Most of LoGH was made in the 90s after the bubble burst.

This one

Probably because its the only other time Reinhard blushes in the series.

Even the new manga uses the underage drinking joke blush.

Seeing Reinhard foil a muntiny, take control and command, and stop the guy from leaving the ship through the escape pod was fun and tense, even though I know he survives it.

The "OVAs" are the lenght of TV episodes though

You should start with My Conquest is the Sea of Stars OVA and the Overture to a New War though. Then the main series.

Your video has issues.

No way I watch crap below 720p and sometimes that looks like shit, I have functioning eyes you know.

Taking that serious makes you look like a complete autistic sperg. But you already know that. Or not, you're fucking clueless.

Shit I forgot about that one. When they walked on the surface of the ship and the metal molded to their boots. Probably unrealistic that the boots didn't melt, but still hilarious

>>145705706
I had forgotten that until I looked up Emil on Geneipaedia. Even so, they really don't stress that fact

This image made me watch logh. I am underwhelmed and grateful for it

I thought they were leaving melted plastic from their boots behind, there's no way the dark side could be that pliable and the sunny side not entirely obliterated.

>>145706266
heat transfer my man. The dark side'll be about as hot as the sunny side once they're far enough away that heat dispersion through the hull outweighs the heat imparted by the sun
