What did McNulty mean by this?

Thats Yang Wen-li though.

He meant "I'm depressed and my life is boring"

either animated or live action

I once made a CAST EM but got bored of it before I could finish

>>79430420
I'd start with the main series, because some of the prequel stuff has some serious boring shit, it might be off-putting

>>79430340
This was such a bizarre moment in the series.

There had been a ton of space battles before this and we'd never seen any "what happens when the ships go boom". They also never do this again

It's like the production suddenly remembered hey we should show what happens when the ships blow up and after they did patted themselves on the back and never mentioned it again.

>>79430606
it is pretty good, any more would have been letting your autism run riot

>>79430606
Why did you cast so few Asian actors?

>>79430671
to be fair, you can't show it too often or else it gets boring. it was supposed to be a shocking moment, but I agree with you to some part

but they also try to show the cruelty it in other ways I think, for example when there's this nice guy recharging julians fighter, or whatever they do, and the ship explodes right after he leaves

>>79430829
Because Yang is the only Asian in the show, he's part Chinese. The entire Galactic Empire's upper class is white and the Free Planets A is mostly white, hispanic, and black.

I think throughout the space battles they always found a good middleground between a) showing the way battleships and people on them are really just pawns for war generals and b) still adding some personalisation in those battleships by introducing generals and characters that served on them

Too melodramatic or too much "faceless cannon fodder" would've ruined that balance, but they always handled it extremely well with recurring characters dying

I'm watching the OVA of Legend of the Galactic Heroes and I just got done watching the episode where Yang Wen-Li schools the Rosenritter in chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns of history! What an amazing metaphor!

It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the deep symbolism of this.

Do the later gaidens continue on with masterful symbolism like this? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on an animu, and I think I can confidently say Legend of the Galactic Heroes is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.

Also the Engrish is amazing. The FPA anthem and fourth OP do a great job sounding authentic.

Hand-to-hand combat happens because there is magic space dust called Seffle/Zephyr particles that explode when you shoot them, so people will use axes and crossbows when they're inside areas with Zephyr/Seffle particles.

Other than those particles and the FTL, LoGH is almost hard scifi.

Watch the prequel film "My Conquest Is The Sea Of Stars" then watch the main show. You can go back to spin offs, but it's not mandatory, but it does increase the time you'll spend with the show and that's always a plus.

>Yang wins in the end
I mean, I don't think Reinhard's goal was perpetual autocracy - his goal was to conquer the stars and change things for the better and he did. It's him who gives Hildegard the authority to be the Regent after his death and to transition to a constitutional monarchy if she so chooses, which ultimately she does.

So you can say democracy lives on, but it's not like the fight was Reinhard vs the ideal of democracy - it was Reinhard vs the FPA, and the FPA is history.

The problem with Bittenfield is that he's the Worf, the guy that gets beaten up to show how strong somebody else is.
He's supposed to be this kickass warrior that only a mastermind like Yang could defeat. But he ends up jobbing so much that him succeeding at something becomes something out of the ordinary.

>>79434765
Bittenfeld's whole thing is blitzing, Black Lancers are quickstrike. When used appropiately - that is to say, against someone who isn't Yang Wen Li, they're devesating. Fraulein had it right by using Bittenfeld strategically instead of tactically.
