Does anyone have direct downloads to episodes 7 and 8 of Spiral Labrynth? The torrents are pretty weak at the moment.

It's not the most above-the-board domain name I agree, but they have what he wants.

I finally got around to this series, after hearing multiple recommendations and seeing this thread. But it's already 5 seconds into the first episode and i'm already... uh, bewildered. What the hell is that supposed to say? It sure as hell doesn't say "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". It looks vaguely German, but it can't be, because i ain't watching something called "Flock sagas from cosmic island".

It's not that big a deal anyway. Sometimes (probably a lot of the time) the show will put out some awkward German, just like it uses awkward English now and then. In one or two incidents involving Reuntal it uses awkward (practically incomprehensible really) French, interestingly. Is Reuntal a Frenchman? I sure hope so. It's a Japanese show. Trust the subtitles, and don't worry about the European languages. It's cute enough that they tried.

I got nothing more to add to the thread except for that I was watching the old Hokuto no Ken tv show, and guess who voices Rei? That lanky machiavellian gently caress, Oberstein! It was almost as when I found out who voiced Shredder on TMNT.

Nate RFB posted:CA is slowly making DVD rips* which do look slightly better, but the originals are fine, especially considering the source. This is from ages ago, but note that this sort of thing happened even in their LD rips, so it's not like there's a tradeoff in terms of quality here. The first couple episodes looked too bad for me to really deal with, but even with incompetent DVD encoding those versions were better. By the time I ran out of DVD versions they were tolerable, leading to the following: I just finished the series a few hours ago. It owns.

Incidentally, having just finished start to end in the span of 20 days, it's interesting to go and look back at the thread when people were being forced to watch piecemeal with no indication of when the next episode was coming. For example:eXXon posted:Well, since I can't help myself, I've watched up to ep 70. Don't read the spoilers if you haven't. I'm not quoting this because I expect a response to a five year old (give or take) post or anything, but it's hilarious what a difference watching the show all at once makes. As they fled Iserlohn, Yang laid a trap, which is mentioned later to Julian but whispered so the audience can't hear. This was just finally letting us in on the secret after like 20 episodes. This, as it happens, is exactly why despite starting the download process for the series back with this thread in 2004 I only started it three weeks ago (well, in part). Of course, waiting for them to finish releasing turned into waiting until I felt I had enough time to watch a 110 episode series which was just waiting and waiting and... let's just say it's nice to finally be done rather than waiting to start.

Code Jockey posted:That'd be it. This show, in the process of blowing my mind, blew out the section dedicated to vocabulary. He wasn't doing it all doing it all along, he just did it. He went to where he could contact the Earth Church, baited them by saying something along the lines of "Reinhard is going to attack and destroy the Earth when he gets well. But I know how you can get him, because I want him dead also, you can try to get in and attack the place and bomb THIS ROOM and you'll kill the Kaiser and everyone." The issue for the Terraists is that they apparently never thought that Oberstein would be pulling such a bluff personally. He convinced them to basically throw themselves onto the sword of the guards/ the Iserlohn group (coincidentally) by convincing them they could actually manage to do it. Instead, they bombed a room on the opposite side of the complex that Oberstein was in to trick them. As such, Oberstein died in the place of the Kaiser, or more specifically, in place of the Kaiserin/ Alec. He lured them in since they all knew the Kaiser was there, and knew they could trust Oberstein if they believed he was out to kill the Kaiser (after all, a lot of people dumbly think Oberstein is out for his own good), so attacking a well-armed complex, thinking it not so well armed, wasn't a bad idea. And it was likely on the opposite end of the complex as well. The question is, did he plan to die all along, or did he gently caress up and get caught in the blast? Obviously he manipulated Deviller to kill off all of the Earth Church, but the question is did he plan to kill himself as well?

I'd like to think he intended to die, because can you imagine a Reinhard-less administration with Oberstein still in such a high position? The very thought of that would send chills down the spines of the remaining Admirals, and would almost certainly lead to internal strife on some level sooner or later. Given that the war with the FPA is over for good at the moment, and the Terraists would be wiped out after this final plan, Oberstein might think there was no longer an immediate need for his Machiavellian methods and at the very least the Imperial court would be more stable without him in the Reinhard-less future.

Haha, I didn't even notice you posted this here, thanks Zorak.  God that makes so much sense it hurts, plus it makes sense with the narrator comments and the Terraist comments. And like I said in the TVIV thread, my opinion of Oberstein is totally turned around, so much that I honestly want to devote another two weeks to rewatching the show from a different perspective, where I'd actually be paying more attention to him rather than thinking "why doesn't someone take this guy out already?". I don't think I could handle watching Yang and Reuental die again though.  I think as far as Oberstein is concerned the whole "nuking tons of civillians against the wishes of the kaiser kind of set me off of him, then all the suspicion of him and Lang... but now I totally understand his side of things - he just operated, like it's been said, in his own way and unlike those around him, and was that much more dedicated to the success of the empire, without as much consideration for the costs. In regards to the game, the entire time I was watching LoGH I thought "I would give my right arm for a PC game of this" and of course, because god hates me and wishes me to suffer, it exists, it looks gorgeous, and it's in a language I don't understand (and it's the kind of game that would be seriously hampered by that). And something else - what was your opinion of Julian Minci? I liked him, and thought he was a decent candidate for head of the fleet, though I was kind of hoping for Merkatz to get it, but I can see why people would oppose that. God this was a fantastic show. Like I said in TVIV, I think this just ruined me for everything else. e. This series also drew me in emotionally more than anything I've ever seen. Again, like I said in TVIV, seeing Mittermeyer's reaction to Reuental's death was absolutely heartbreaking, as was seeing Frederica's reactions to Yang's death, and... and...  e. Oh, the game did get mentioned. Sorry!

Nate RFB posted:I like Julian just fine. He doesn't quite have the presence of Yang or some of the other main characters, but his actual role in the story is very interesting; more often than not, it's hard to kill off a main character like Yang so relatively "early" in the story (as in there were still 28 episodes left) because so much of the story is driven through their perspective. But with keeping in mind that the whole theme of the show has been "history in the making", it makes sense that someone had to be there to be the one to chronicle it. Julian was that one-eyed guy from 300. Depressingly enough, they even foreshadow this with the third season ending. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I was really wary of how the story would turn out sans Yang, and especially what would happen in the Empire as a result, but I liked the outcome overall. Also I'm an idiot, I posted this in the TVIV thread instead of here: quote:Also, in case anyone's interested, I've put in a request to see if we can get LoGH patches made here. If anyone has good screengrabs of the various FPA badges it'd be much appreciated. The Empire didn't really have any logos/badges/patches of any kind, right?

It's completely worth watching, though. Even if you know WHAT happens, a great part of the show is watching the aftermath. And there are still a few big twists and events left. aparman... apartment... that guy above me is right, things don't go as you'd expect. Not at all. e. I do feel for you though DON'T MOUSE OVER THIS, IT'S ANOTHER BIG ONE VVVVVVVVVVV I made the mistake of reading the TVIV thread, specifically near the end of it, and I caught a glimpse of "I'm not surprised the empire won" by accident. Yeah, that sucked, though after a while I think it's pretty obvious who's going to come out ahead

That's true, though a small part of me was thinking the Terraists might pull something big, big enough to take Reinhard out of the picture or remove a strategic planet or something. But you're right, short of something REALLY massive having occured, the Alliance didn't have much hope, except for an appeal to Reinhard on a personal level, after Yang died.

Well, it wasn't all that inevitable- if Yang had just a bit less moral fiber... he could have taken Reinhard out after he got the surrender order that one time- or heck, more generally he could have taken over as dictator at any number of points and set the Alliance on the right path, militarily at least. I'm sure he had the popular support. Of course, if he had just a bit less moral fiber he wouldn't really be Yang at all.

I'm sure he had the popular support. I wouldn't call it "moral fibre" so much as principles, but yeah. Firing on Reinhard / becoming dictator could be argued as morally right actions, since they would definitely dramatically improve the lives of citizens in the FPA at least - and if Yang leveraged his rule over the FPA into a campaign to unite humanity (ahahah Yang would NEVER do this) he would certainly make a better philosopher-king over all Mankind than Reinhard did (sorry Reinhard! Love you anyway). Yang is rightfully concerned about the precedents this would set though, not to mention the lives it would cost.

Two arms of the galaxy with The Empire on Orion and the FPA on Sagittarius. To put it in a bit of prospective it'd be about 3000 light years from the solar system to Sagittarius and closest star system is 11 light years away.

What do you think the "divide" where the Iserlohn corridor/ Phezan are? That's the interstellar regions between the two spiral arms. FTL in LOGH involves "star to star" gravity well hopping, which is why they have to use the "corridor" paths to travel between the two spiral arms.
