long time /tv/ vet here and i can not recommend it more. Its not your typical anime bullshit, it makes Dune look like Star Wars tierhttps://9animetv.to/watch/legend-of-the-galactic-heroes-5?ep=288
You have to be over 18 to use 4chan
>>215830681>anime I don’t give a shit if it’s Tolkien tier it’s still a gay le serious cartoon
Even though it is dated anime the story is so good it transcends the medium. If you haven't seen it and are hating as it's anime you are just a silly billy.It would have been better if Kircheis was still around though.
>>215830681i've been looking for something to binge so guess i'll watch it, thanks for the link
>>215831337Btw, there are two versions.So, the original was made in the 90s and was released on laserdiscWhen they released it on dvd in the mid-00s they hired a new studio to reanimate significant parts of with 00s art style. Many consider redraws to be of inferior quality.But make up your mindhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyZAcGwCqFU9animetv seems to be an altered version, while the laserdisk version is on the internet achieve
>>215830681Go back to /a/
>>215830681This and The Sopranos are the only TV shows you need to watch, and maybe The Maxx too.
>>215831453good to know thx, i think i like the redraw better desu look at thishttps://youtu.be/FEfg3w5RecM
>>215831901The maxx has a comic. A based mtg player introduced me to all kinds of good shit when i came to america
>>215830681I heard good thing about it, pic related is probably the best anime i've watched
>>215831901>>215831098
what about the production ig version
>>215831098>>215831194>>215831746logh>>> all fiction
>>215830681so i see this shit posted here relentlesslywhat is it actually? more gundam/mech slop?
I tried to watch it but they were talking so fast and I couldn't keep up with the subtitles. I still want to see it though and original Gundam.
>>215832232It's a space opera. Space battles and stuff but nothing like mechs. Most of the runtime is political maneuvering and character interaction, with the space battles themselves being setpieces or a grand-scale representation of some sort of political clash. Lots of classical music. Lots of characters; you might not remember most of their names but they're largely memorable enough that you recognize their voice or look. Refreshingly, it shows the positives and negatives of multiple styles of government. Beyond that, the story itself is pretty good, but it is a slow burn that takes place over 100+ episodes. It's also pretty based as a show. Straight up shows (((Terrans))) being degenerates manipulating society from the shadows only to get outed once they get too brazen. That's barely a spoiler, the instant you see them it's clear what will happen with them.
>>215832228To the niche of self hating weebs who wanna cling to their fleeting masculinity sure
Why would you watch anime when Kdrama exists?
>>215832417This there aren't even that many battles.
>>215830681>Its not your typical anime bullshitBro you posted legend of the galactic heroes lmaoThere's no way you aren't indian or underage. There's no way are this little self aware
>>215832438I don't really care about your opinion I just see this thread as a prime opportunity to post my stash of LOGH screencaps.
>>215832417Sounds like an inferior way to consume literature
>>215832232>zoomer don't know best space Opera
>>215832438
>>215832490I read too but sometimes I just wanna indulge in some Japanese animes. Also LOGH is adapted from books.
>>215832232I watched the first 6 episodes 5 years ago, here's the gist: Imagine star wars but rebels are an incompetent democracy and empire is incompetent monarchy, and both have a very competent and ambitious Luke skywalkers who are way smarter than everyone else, but don't have the military ranks high enough for someone to actually listen to them.The story jumps around both protagonists, their careers, and their struggle with their faction's form of politics.Also sometimes there are big scale space battles happening where millions casually die, but they only exist as a tool to show how incompetent the faction's commanders are when they don't listen to the protagonists.
Anyway who's your favorite character that isn't Yang or Reinhard? For me it's Bucock.
>>215832437this is some spicy projection sir
>>215832547wow that's deep...
>>215832512>>215832528haven't watched lotgh yet, but I have used these two images cause they're funny
>>215832594I find LOGH has a lot of good opportunities for screencaps.
>>215832528What's the context for this?
>>215831274I'm not about to watch 128 eps. of some cartoon just to hate on it. qrd?
>>215832572It’s just simple deduction by observation, usually when you get the projection reply that means it’s accurate
>>215832677To be honest I don't remember. I want to say it's Reinhard (the blonde lad) talking about how Yang (the other protagonist) keeps getting into political disagreements with his superiors. Kircheis would know. If only Kircheis were here.
>>215832694>>215832547>>215832417
>>215832734If framing it that way makes you feel better, sure. The post I called projection was very obviously insecurity distilled into a post, but you get em boy.
>>215832677It's the episode where Linkara argues that Iron Liz has always been a woman. Reinhard had to concede.
>>215832563bittenfeld
should I shill for the Blu-ray or just pirate?
>>215832794Based taste.
>>215832863Either works, but pirating is pretty easy. IIRC there's still links up on archive for the laserdisc version. Even has the two movies and the gaidens.
>>215832789It could be both but personally I’m not a weeb nor am I insecure, just more disappointed that a grown man would think such content is the epitome of fiction
>>215833011Where did your insecurities around masculinity begin?
>>215833147He was adopted by (((Terraists)))
>>215833147There are none. Trying to rationalize why an adult man thinks stuff like this is amazing, not everything has to have some jew freud shit underneath it
I watched a few episodes of the new adaptation and it's honestly overhated.The character designs are faggier but there are some nice visual elements too (some of the uniforms and locations etc).In terms of plot it's VERY faithful to the books, probably too much; it strictly re-adapts them rather than simply remaking the old series. That said, the classic anime took some liberties and expanded some plotlines with fanfiction but it generally had a purpose, like making some characters or factions more relatable or elaborating on specific plot threads. As a result, the new one is slimmer and the pacing is tighter, and it mostly works well (but I still think some episodes were straight up better in the OAV, like the one with the farmers). In the end it's a good way to re-experience the story with a different coat of paint, shame it feels less "classy" overall.
>>215833596I prefer the OG but the newer run does have some stuff going for it. I hate the new FPA ship designs, but I thought the imperial ships were alright.
>>215832490It is, but it's as good as you're gonna get with anime and non-literature fiction in general. The viewer is guided through the story by a third-person narrator, similar to Barry Lyndon (except that it's a reliable narrator), which actually makes it feel more like a book than an anime or typical sci-fi show/movie/OVA etc. It also makes you care about the large cast of characters and treats them like real people (more or less, with no or comparatively little plot armor).
>>215831098then this lil zigger is the smartest one of the bunch
>>215830681It is a dense examination of democracy vs autocracy. Is a corrupt democracy better than a benevolent autocracy? The series doesn't give a definitive answer but there's various moments when characters go around in debating each other. So you can make up your own mind. The series is a backdrop for political debates. And there's obvious parallels to some real empires in history. There's also the fair share of shady third parties who play behind the shadows just like the real world.
>>215830681Anon, LotGH is one of the defining anime of 4chan, we have all already seen it. You are correct though, once you've watched it there's no point bothering with anything else.
>it's an anon has discovered anime episode
>>215832563Mittermyer obviously
Peak anime coming right through:>The Case Study of Vanitas>Skip Beat!>The Ancient Magus' Bride>Welcome to the Ballroom>Katanagatari>Undead Girl Murder Farce >Monogatari Series>Lord of Mysteries>Clannad>Legend of the Galactic Heroes
>>215832863I pirated everything. The watch order is:>My Conquest is the Sea of Stars (OVA, pre main storyline)>Overture to a New War (OVA, superior remake of the first 2 episodes)>Logh from ep. 3Afterwards you can watch the "Gaiden" prequel show. "Golden Wings" and the modern remake ("Die Neue These") are trash.
>>215833304>Trying to rationalize why an adult man thinks stuff like this is amazing>adult manYou are so insecure lol
>>215833876Sell me on all of these. I've seen LoTGH. I don't want any gay anime tropes, and my expectations are going to be high coming from LoTGH
>>215833947This guy’s still going, the nerve I struck must’ve been generational lel
>>215831098Nobody under 32 has ever watched this show, retard
>>215834013Most of them are based on novels, and all have great art style.
>>215832563My nigger Reuenthal
>>215834013>gay anime tropesyou might be turned off by Monotagari but the art direction and story telling is very cool, unlike anything I’ve seen.I Implore you to give it a fair shot
>>215832528Which? You mean a manga?
>>215834357Nah.
>>215830681If you like LOGH you'll also like Irresponsible Captain Tylor
>>215832563Oberstein
>>215834485He's just like me...
>>215833876Any other recommendations by LOGH enjoyers?
>>215832677Its when Oberstein crashed Reinhards wedding with the news of an uprising on Heinessen which was so important that it couldnt have waited an other minute and Reinhard was forced to act immediatly during his weddingThe other Admirals give him shit because hes an asocial sperg but deep down he was rightReinhard comments how Oberstein is a horrible person but hes ultimately always right even if he doesnt like him as a person to his wife on their honeymoon when they talk about their wedding
>>215834509No. He was competent and valued. You are neither.
>>215830681I watched it a little bit until the ultra smart young whippersnapper showed those uncs he's real bussin and then lost interest. Maybe he gets cocky and then gets reamed later, but that was the point where my anime detector went in the red
>>215834485
>>215834546Hajime no Ippo is pretty good and has that similar classic anime style
>>215834563Other admirals have always hated him, they blamed him for Kircheis deathWhich is ironic considering Oberstein pushed Reinhard to make Reunethal and Mittermeyer equal to Kircheis, while Reinhard wanted to keep Kircheis as his second rank, and everyon else third
>>215834628That's literally how things work. Get a reality check, unc.
>>215834675I can't take Asians boxing seriously. Even white boys are easier to buy.
>>215832228
>>215834734What's with all the brownoid seething today?
>>215830681LotGH is almost as overrated as Evangelion. The show tells you the blonde faggot and the nonchalant chink are tactical geniuses but whenever they win it's just because their opponent is being retarded. The communists captured Iserlohn fortress because they somehow goaded a seasoned military veteran to just leave and the second seasoned military veteran just decided to be dumb as fuck. Not to mention that the first battle we see is lost because they're too stupid to simply change course. Fucking trash show.
>>215834863Eva is superior in every possible metric to LotGH.
Do the books have good translations?
>>215831098>You have to be over 18 to use 4chanNothing is funnier than Newfags larping as le oldfags and forcing their special kind of autims on the rest of this siteLogh is a classic and widely discussed on this siteIts literally on the banner ffs
>>215830681Its a toon. toons are for children.

Can you make a room like this, but themed off of LotGH?
>>215831933Left really isn't indicative of what the OG art looked like. The second ""season"" did have a large quality drop, but it improves drastically by the next batch. But yeah the redraw is still pretty good.
>>215834263Gave it a fair shot. Liked the first season. Even somewhat liked kizumonogatari. Dropped it after Nisemonogatari. >>215834110Cool. I'll check some of these out.
>>215832694It's about a space war told in a pseudo-historical documentary format. It's good.
James Cameron should be filming a live action LOGH instead of more blue cat movies
>>215831274>It would have been better if Kircheis was still around though.how many times did I had the exact same thought, but I guess it's the point of his absence : "if he were there, things would have been better"I would love a "what if Kircheis was still around" one-shot, but we can have it in our heads I guess
>Nah trust me bro the show really picks up after 100 episodes in
>>215837292>I'm brownWe knew without the image.
>>215832379yeah you have to get used to, or maybe it's a zoomer focus problem ? not being mean by saying that, it's a genuine concernthe first three episodes demands you to give it your full attention and when you're used to it, it's smooth sailing

>>215832694Show goes woke in the ending.
>>215832863you can go on nyaa.si if you're poor
>>215830681You are an illiterate ape if you sincerely believe it. LoGH has nothing on Dune, both in anime and book forms. And it's way closer to Star Wars than any proper sci-fi.>>215831274It's ONLY good in comparison to this medium, and has absolutely no merit if compared to to stuff outside of it.Jesus Christ, you are a bunch of the same agening millenials here, regurgitating cliches from that nascent era of the internet when your dicks still worked. How can you still praise it?LoGH is an absolutely superficial take on political theory. Core of its setting is just a copy of Gundam's, absolutely trite even in its own medium / cultural background. The critique of both authoritatian and democratic regimes is as basic as it gets. Who would have thought that nobility goes decadend, that overblow bureaucracy is ineffective, that despots only good if they are moral? And, of course, in the end, you have a thoroughly milquetoast resolution – we need a balanced and moderate form of government. What a shallow drivel.And don't even get me started on the space warfare aspect. Completely flat formations and maneuvering is questionable already, but those retarded tactics and feints they use are just laughable. When Yang "outsmarted" the Lionfag guy by simply running around in a loop was so fucking stupid.And, of course, it has all the trappings of Japanese serialised works. Bunch of absolutely useless characters (dozens of bearded guys for fodder, the teal haired Yang lookalike), subplots that go nowhere (corrupted federation politician, Terran Church, Fezan network), and drawn out runtime that serves no purpose (you have couple of dozens episodes after Yang's death where nothing really happens, just some bitching of his protégé).I'm not trying to be snobbish, but this is pathetic. I liked LoGH for what it is, God knows it's better that DBZ or Naruto that you also praise. But it's still pales in comparison to even modern shitty TV adaptations of sco-fi classics.
>>215837437>Second coming of Napoleon and Alexander achives his dream of uniting the galaxy by conquest and creates an era of unprecedended peace and prosperity while peacefully dying surounded by his loved ones and friends>WokeJesus christ you people are retarted
>>215830681Latter half of this series is quite bad.Even before the thing happens in season 3, it's retarded and begins doing stuff for sake of pay off, regardless how much sense they make.But everyone took stupid pills in season 4, especially Julian.Reunethal promises him everything if he just deny imperial ships from pagging, but Julian refuses because he is pussy. But the moment Reuenthal is defeated he decided to rebel alone
>>215837495
>>215837591Yes, typical for LoGHfag.
>>215837495Is this what autism in a midwit looks like?
>>215837540Yeah, that admits before dying how democratic representation is still indispensable.You are the retard, Johnny.
>>215837766The sole fact that your retor is just a bunch of stale memes only proves my point. You have to be a stunted failed normie to praise this drivel.
>>215837766Yes.
>>215836493>Cool. I'll check some of these out.I should maybe warn you that Skip Beat! is kitsch. Very charming kitsch. And Clannad is something that takes a while to unfold.
>>215837846Samefag.
>>215837813>just a bunch of stale memes>stunted failed normieHaha.
>>215837871Seethefag.
>>215837871Wrong.
>>215837885Only a normie can be considered a meme.>>215837904Yes.
>>215834171As a fellow Reuenthal enjoyer, are you too baffled by people not understanding that he had no choice to fight against Reinhard after being insulted TWO fucking times in a row ?
>>215837930Middling IQ + autism must really hurt. I'm sorry, anon.
>>215834485do you think he let events follow their course until the Kircheis moment ? Like he knew what was going to happen and thought : "we need this for Reinhard to toughen up and take hard decisions" ?
Someone must have the comic with kirch saying humanity and alcohol go back 10000 years and are friends and tgat ge cant abandon a friend
>>215830681What is this? Sell me on it. I dont watch anime.
>>215834689>Other admirals have always hated him, they blamed him for Kircheis deathI do understand their point tho, if Oberstein didn't meddle with Kircheis' rank, he would have had his weapon and could have been able to kill the guy during the assassination attempt
>>215838120Boring shit in space made by some reactionary Jap that was pissed at 1968 sexual revolution and liberal democracy. All the chud autists love it because they think that dictatorship is le based.
>>215832563>nobody hasn't said MecklingerHis seiyuu passed away a few months ago.He doesn't have screen time, but I like him, he seems chill and based.
>>215838211>seiyuuJust say voice actor.
The "planets that look completely like earth" and the "humanity regressed and then got stuck larping 18th century for 500 years" just doesn't fly with my European mind.But it's operatic and the music is good. Lack of detail though is terrible, it's equivalent to bad set design in movies. Why so many blank walls with few props? Come on its just a cel,draw some painting or flowers or a pile of book. That's my autism.
>>215834985
>>215838075are you talking about that ? It was from my boy Kesler
>>215838120okay...In a distant future, two space empires (not-USA and not-German Empire) have been fighting each other for 100 years-In the Empire is there is Space Napoleon who wants to overthrow the imperial dynasty and end the war. He rises through the ranks by military exploits and has to deal with corrupt nobles while collecting skilled underlings.In contrast to space Napoleon, who is all about ambition, in the republic, there is a reluctant hero who never wanted anything to do with the military but was kinda forced into it; he ends up becoming a brilliant strategist, ruining space Napoleon's plans.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLA2_RdaUCo
>>215838186Go on....
>>215838120Come on, read the thread
>>215838249no. Seyuu are different race.American voice actors get paid per session, which why every voice actor in a show tends to voice +3 characters.Meanwhile seiyuu get paid per line, which is why shit is much more competitive.
>>215838211he's great but he doesn't have as much screentime as the other admirals, still he has good lines
>>215838401Cool. And if I watch it, what will be my likely rewards?>>215838412Read?
>>215837990I think he really just wanted what was best for the future empire as a whole but in typical Oberstein fashion he was to much of a sperg to realise how meddling with the only real friend Reinhard had would fuck him up a bitHe wanted to knock down Kircheis a bit because making your best friend the unqestionable second in command with a bunch of priviliges compared to the other admirals would send a bad sign to others and would come across as nepostims same as with the Goldenbaum dynasty but he failed to realise that Kirches actually deserved to be Reinhards second in command because of his merit and not because of his relation to ReinhardHe was willing to sacrifice himself the moment Reinhard was in any real danger so i dont think he had any ulterior motives He genuinlely wants to do whats the best for the Empire but is just a massive sperg and fucks up everything he does as a result
The writers of this show didn't even realise space has 3 dimensions.But people think the non stop politics is somehow deep and intelligent and well written....>>215831274>transcends the mediumIt's full of all the usual anime cliches.For eg - The lead characters are all teenagers but are somehow smarter than the adults, and they all have bright dyed hair to make them stand out visually.
I don't understand this site anymore. Legend of the Galactic Heroes has been popular on 4chan for two decades+, why is everyone shitting on it now?
>>215838389Thanks for posting but it was a 4 pannel comic, yellow background and the guy was holding a glass of red wine
>>215838549this site has been taken over by newfags sadly
>>215838513>The lead characters are all teenagers but are somehow smarter than the adultsThat's completely realistic.
>>215838470mhhh that's a good answer, I never saw Oberstein as the super sperg you describe probably because I'm one myself but your explanation make a lot of sense when we look at it that wayIn my mind, Oberstein was a genuine know-it-all and was the kind of guy ready to sacrifice anything to achieve his goals, whatever the pricethanks for your clairvoyance
>>215838075 Yoshiki Tanaka is a genius that was actually able to write smart characters. The amount of set ups and pay offs in this show makes it so enjoyable to rewatch seeing how everyone's decisions has real effects on the overall conflict between the Free Planets Alliance and the Galactic Empire.
>>215838513You're castrated and brown
>>215838429They're voice actors, weeb.
>>215838549Because it's overrated and its fans are annoying. You're not on /a/ anymore.
This seems interesting but I get the feeling it has a bunch of characters that are basically people born into wealth and power using flimsy philosophical arguments to justify warmongering and destruction for the sake of benefitting their own fame, which would bother me.
>>215838470I think Oberstein knew that Kircheis fully deserved the privileges that Reinhardt afforded him but he also realised the optics wouldn't reflect that so the rumors of nepotism would remain.>>215837240If only you were here, Kircheis.

>>215837240>I would love a "what if Kircheis was still around" one-shot, but we can have it in our heads I guessIt wouldn’t matter.

>>215832563my two GOATS
I'm not a huge /a/ person but I did watch some LOTGH a while back and do remember enjoying it. it's just a lot of episodes ; it's a commitment. I finished pic related recently and loved it, can you guys recommend any anime or even TV/films like it? themes of: not just cyberpunk and dystopian but just absolutely bleak end-of-humanity. or hell, just "dark" & philosophical anime. I will watch Serial Experiments Lain next. I don't know if Attack on Titan counts but all my friends into anime tell me to watch that one
>>215838773Image isn't helping sell me on it.
>>215838955>"dark" & philosophical animeNigga turned 16.
>>215838848Its good but not as good as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrzon2J_5jU
>>215838953Reuenthal is a deeply flawed man but also an absolute Chad, not sure if anybody but Kircheis and Bittenfeld would've survived the Sternritter melee assault.
>>215839004best intro and best season
>>215838980Here's a more accurate version of what you can find in the show.
>>215838953walter von schönkopf needs more love. probably my favorite character on the free planets side
>>215839104Is this show literally just people talking about politics? I don't care about politics at all, it's the most normalfag thing imaginable and wouldn't even need to exist if normalniggers just behaved themselves.
>>215830681Cool I'll check it out. Thanks for the free streaming link OP.
>>215830681you sad bastard
>>215839156No. It's also fun space shit and bromance.
>>215839156They are both talking and doing politics, minor and major battles, revolutions, ascension to the throne and minor factions being subversive and manipulative. But yes, a lot of talking as well.
>>215839165malware dropper
>>215839156Its about politics, but actually interesting politics and not endless culture war bullshit and social issues. that and its about war and history. fantastic show
>>215830681The entirety of the series is also on the internet archive, plus the original OVA then gaidens.
>>215839302the only way to watch it at this point. every other site it gets combined with changing animation or the remake/reboot version
