Discuss this show here, want to know what im getting myself into before binging 110+ episodes ...
Do it you pussy
>>146538693
Not an argument
>>146538644
It's very good, you should definitely give it a try.
However, you should watch two of the movies prior to going into the series proper - My Conquest is the Sea of Stars, which is a sort of 'intro' to the series that takes place not long before the series starts, and Overture to a New War, which is the retelling of the first two or three episodes with a much higher production value and more story behind some characters and story elements.
>>146538644
Yes, believe me once you get into the swing of it it'll be a blur.
It's one of the best anime out there and certainly unique with having been made over 10 years.
Man, just take it easy and you will enjoy the ride.
>>146538693
>>146538644
Not OP here, what is this actually? Is this some kind of Star Wars shit where they have ships and they fight it out in different planets and shit? Is this full of drama, keikaku, or action?
>>146541092
Drama, action, politics, court yard fueds and many more
It's really awful. Truly not even kittens
>>146541092
Lots of politics, plot and no-one side made out to be inherently evil, which will already upset a lot of people.
Also this guy, he's cool.
>>146538644
Ditch this thread and watch it. All this thread will do is give you spoilers. That said I wouldn't worry too much about spoilers. Even if you know something is coming it's still worth the ride.
>>146541631
>>146541779
> says dogs eat dog food
> requests his dog be fed only cooked chicken
Subtle symbolism there.
>>146541092
The sci-fi is just a cover to be marketable, it's a show about XVIII century imperial politics with likeable characters
>>146541659
It's the name of the episode, you can't say it's something you don't know beforehand
>>146541631
It's weird, in the series he's a lot more likeable than in the book translation
Where can I watch this? Don't want to read thread and spoilers.
>>146542086
Torrent it from the usual sites.
Also theShirou is the red man and the FPA loses.
If you're ready for a lot of reading and thinking, yes. One of my three 10/10s.
>>146541946
>It's the name of the episode
>not skipping episode names for this reason
>>146542385
>thinking
Man LoGH fans are so insufferable because they haven't read any books.
just postan best girl
>>146542555
Of course you have to think, there's a lot of different plots and characters and if you're not smart enough (e.g. typical /a/ user), there's a big chance you will get lost in the story.
I read books sometimes.
>>146542694
ffs LoGH does not require thinking and it's a pretty barebones anime adaptation. You might as-well just read the script.
>>146542746
Well, that's the biggest setback of the series, it's a glorified audiobook, the images are there just to cut the description of the environment
>>146542746
Thinking = having your mind working = paying attention
Just because your mind didn't break of overwork doesn't mean you didn't think.
>You might as-well just read the script.
I don't see how it's even an argument against thinking.
>>146543013
made a good adaptation though.
>>146542555
but logh is a book anon
>>146543013
Which is why it's not a good adaptation and not a 10/10
>>146542570
>>146543541
It's a good series by not adapting crap.
Regardless of being a good adaptation by not over stylizing something for the sake of it.
>>146543405
>reading
Gayer than traps.
How's the official translation of the books going? Is it any good? Any news on whether they'll drop it before finishing whole series?
Been thinking about buying them, but still unsure
I watched the first episode and was pretty bored. And I'm not normally the type of person that gets bored as soon as there's dialogue and no action onscreen. The AESTHETIC was great though.
>>146544262
depend, if you are like >>146544082 you will like it because they tried to be constrained in the translation, but otherwise the text is dry as fuck...I don't see anyone that didn't watch the ova buying it and finding it good
>>146544542
Admittedly I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed it without the music and animation of the faces, scenery and such.
>>146542570
this is the best girl
Watch the movies that go over the first 2(?) episode and the film that was released before the series started first.
>>146538644
One of my biggest gripes with this show is how unimaginative it is. If I wrote a space opera I would be sure to go wild with different planets with different gravity/landscape/atmosphere/ecology and the ways people adapt to these environments, but here every planet is just a clone of 60-70s Earth. Boring, not to mention risibly unrealistic. If the author is more comfortable writing about history (and isn't willing to look into subjects like physics, astronomy, etc. just a bit) why doesn't he just set his book on a post-apo Earth which has reverted to 18th century technology or whatever?
Anime's flaws are that it's cheap and inconsistent as shit. Some frames are beautiful. but the next moment you just want to gouge your eyes out. Also the direction is nonexistent, and >>146543013
calls it a glorified audiobook quite rightly.
>>146542555
Triple don't lie. Only high-schoolers or maximum ignoramuses think LoGH is 'deep and 'intelligent'. Dune books absolutely blow it out of the water if you think about the setting alone, not even starting to look at the conceptual evel. And 'Dune' is just the plebbest example I could name off the top of my head.
>>146544510
>The AESTHETIC was great though
I hope you mean uniforms, because everything else was tacky af, especially buildings and interiors. Also Reich ships look like literally giant cocks, what did the designers mean by this, I wonder?
>>146545121
I just like huge-ass ships in space
It does nothing new. People praise it for almost nothing. What does it say about war that hasn't been said thousands of times before it?
here you go
>>146543405
It's an above average LN.
If the first episode's winning "strategy" doesn't force you to immediately drop it, it means you have shit taste andyou'll be fine watching 110 epsof retarded artless garbage written for man-children who have never read a 19th century novel in their lives but are somehow blown away by the "depth" and the purple-y dialogues.
Just watch it OP. It's a bit of a slow burn at first but it really takes off around episode 15. It's an incredible journey.
>>146542570
it kind of bothered me she didn't end up preggo before yang went to sleep, when that piece of shit known as reinhart did get to have a kid
>>146544830
My friend born in the darkness.
Not only is she best girl, she's also the main architect of the Empire's victory over the Alliance.
>>146545533
Yang had Julian, so it's fine.
I only watched the OVA series and I have to say that it's one of the best animated series I've seen in my life. All of the main characters are relatable and likeable. The story itself, the interactions between the characters, everything is sophisticated. There's no needless gore and sex every episode like Game of Thrones or something like that. The deaths have impact. Personally, I shed a tear at every major death.
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It's truly an experience.
>>146541092

All 110+ episodes were worth it for this one episode

>>146545772
>>146545900
They're equal. Yang might have defeated Reinhard several times, but Reinhard reformed the fucking Empire and fuged best girl.
>>146545994
How so? At least it's not an adaptation of crap though
I couldn't suffer 4 episodes of monogatari for all its style, but could get LoGH down like nothing.
>>146545002
And again the truth easily gets ignored.
By all means I enjoyed LoGH but I can easily admit to its flaws. But it takes a few hair robbing scenes to get the fujo in me going.
>>146545002
Post apocalypse doesn't allow for cavalry battles disguised as space fights. Also going super in depth into more than one topic is a great way to lose focus and audience
>>146546161
Your vocabulary doesn't contain any descriptive terminology. So you don't like monogatari's 'style'. It's not relevant at all is it? How about you tell me why you think LoGH is a good adaptation? Use some sort of objective measurement in your writing.
>>146538644
If you want pop scifi that takes itself a little seriously and pays attention to dozens of interrelationships then it's for you. If you're looking for an encyclopedia from the future, best to run away now before the red mist envelopes your grognard senses.
>>146546385
I didn't dislike the style so no description of it necessary, I disliked the content itself. LoGH was
Neither said it was a good adaptation as much as it wasn't an adaptation of crap.

>>146545880
Yes
>>146546898
What are you on about? The stylistic choices aren't the point I'm making I'm making a point between adapting something crap and putting more budget into style or adapting something good and not having stylize it.
>>146546904
Was he better than Trump?
>>146547375
I'll say he's the opposite, since he knows how to appeal to the voters and isn't mentally handicapped.

You're almost as dumb as the "I read REAL novels and this is trash!"fags.
>>146547375
>Truhnit is anything like Trump
I know liberals are incredibly stupid and lap up whatever "This is how you should think!" bullshit they see on CNN and facebook, but at least pretend to do a little reading on your own sometime.
>>146547305
This is some non sequitur shit I hope you realize.
>>146542570
>>146546371
>Post apocalypse doesn't allow for cavalry battles disguised as space fights
How so? No more fossil fuels and electricity means you go back to horses, or move on to domesticated mutant giant insects, whatever. Plenty of opportunity for cavalry battles either way.
>>146545406

>>146538644
If you like politics and space opera then yeah
>>146545406
>>146547896
More like ep 30 tbch.
>>146538644
Needs dubs. It messes with your suspension of disbelief.
>>146545002
The sci-fi elements in LoGH can't be taken seriously whatsoever. Even though it's still interesting to watch
>>146547801
Hardly, Gatari, style, no substance. LoGH very minimal style and lots of talking heads, more substance.
Just master moon.
Novel is the best.
>>146549295
Is the novel really better? The anime ends at a good place, and I've heard this author gets stupid with killing off characters as his stories go on.
>>146550115
As far as I know, I'm pretty sure the anime ends as the novels end. In other words a full adaptation.
Artland even did the prequels/sidestories that Tanaka also wrote.
>>146546338
>read the novel
>it uses the "if only Kircheis had been here" shit while he is still alive during the Westerland bombing, but not at Reinhard's side
Did the anime do that as well? I don't really remember.
>>146545975
She only exists to prove Julian isn't gay.
>>146549295
Novels are pretty great, but lacking Dusty Attenborough is an unforgivable crime
>>146548119
Just another dubfag who pretends to care about the setting, when reality is that he only cares when the work is not in his native language.
>>146550199
So are the novels really written any differently?
>>146548149
as I said, non-sequitur.
Are you female by any chance? It's really hard to tell but you can't probably be a male
>>146550199
I know some details are changed, but the overall product is pretty much the same.
Like how >>146550558 mentioned.
Some characters are really anime-only, they usually absorb one or two minor characters though. Which is really what an adaptation should do.
>>146550558
Dusty is in the Novels. He just doesn't show up until Volume 2 and he's not as important early on.
>>146541631
>Politics
If I enjoy Magi will I enjoy LoGH?
>>146551683
So it's a good adaptation that doesn't really fuck anything up. Why would people pretend you have to read the novels if you've seen the anime?
>>146552494
I have no clue. And looking at the production history and the previews too, the OVA was produced with the book readers in mind, while still being enjoyable by non book readers.
This is kind of unlike A Game of Thrones adapting A Song of Ice and Fire, although that's almost entirely a different beast.
The first season of AGoT is the closest thing to a near perfect adaptation of a novel, imo; where both book readers and non book readers can find equal enjoyment.

Did he feed his dog chicken all the time? So by the timehe's about to die, he requested that his dog can do whatever he liked because he's no longer anyone's pet dog?I know the topic is absolutely absurd but that must be some subtle shit that I wouldn't catch watching a third time.
>>146546040
They compliment each other, they're not equal. Reinhardt is the ultimate victor, but the spiritual victory will always belong to Yang, who was the wiser and more strategically capable of the two. What people tend to forget is Yang was in his 30's while Reinhardt was a teen during the start of the show, Yang kind of just had experience that Rein gradually picked up on as the show progressed, until the very end when he even saw the necessity for a democratic state in the galaxy.

You're an idiot and Reinhardt never found democracy to be necessary. Even Yang admitted that a dictatorship with someone like Reinhardt leading it was better for the people and the state.

>>146557686
I love how this song was mocked and basically a parody in the beginning of the show, but later after everything Yang, his fleet, Iserlohn, and the FPA went through, the song actually redeems itself.
Tears were shed.
It kind of depends. If you really like the genre of space politics, LOGH is the most mature of them all. I think ryvius would be my second favorite. Honestly though it didn't really use space to its advantage. It felt like it could've taken place in an alternate reality of napoleon's campaign or something.
LOGH falls under the occult classic type of anime.
It is way overhyped by the fans and you have to be in the niche for it. The niche being more about politics than about space or even about tactics because the tactics feel fucking awful. The character's are good and really tell the political themes of the show very well.

>>146555992
Kircheis was important because he was needed to establish an ideal world. But he wasn't there, because he died a needless and untimely death.Like all the other main characters actually.
>>146551730
Is he as much a man of whim and foppery?
Am I retarded at thinking he was gay or simply self absorbed whenever he'd decline talk of meeting a woman?
I'm not opinionated enough to rate the intros and outros, but I really got to say that outro 4 was my favorite, and intro 3 was my least favorite.
>>146561295
I think even if he was gay he'd still be more interested in his revolution.
>>146561437
That episode where if Reinhard had had a second strike they'd have all literally been caught sleeping.

but if they decide to go for a modern voice, then MISIA is the only worthy one.
>>146557965
Reinhardt literally said that democratic institutions "would be nice" before he died. In the great debate of heroes, Yang won.
Which is not shitting on Reinhardt mind you. Reinhardt coming to terms with his own mortality and seeing the necessity of not only reforming his "now", but also protecting the future of his creation was part of his character progression and a necessary part of his legacy to stop him from simply becoming "another guy who ruled the universe for a lifetime".

I would love to give a try, since I love political drama, yet I absolutely despise sci-fi. Is it still worth it?
>>146550610
Yeah, having to read a exposition-heavy anime with Aryan Caucasoid speaking an alien language makes it much more appealing to sit through.

On subjects that matter, why didn't Yang get a kid?
