I have watched a little bit of LOGH and enjoyed it but a show of that length is tough for me to tackle these days, which is why I haven't watched more.

The series ends at the perfect length and is engaging the whole way through. I guess if you're a brainless ADHD baby whose attention flits from thing to thing every two minutes it might be hard for you, and for that you have my pity!

or, you know, i'm an adult with commitments that make spending half a year or more watching a single anime kind of unappealing

LoGH is barely space opera anyway, replace the ships with horses and shave a couple of zeros off the casualty figures and it could be set anywhere in medieval Europe.

Are you trying to imply that dubs > subs?

Not necessarily. It's up to individual examples. But dubs are just easier for me to watch and take a lot less focus, so if a show is super long I'd never get halfway through it.

A cool thing about LOGH is that it starts with two movies that are pretty tight. I saw and really liked those but eventually got bogged down in the series proper.

Weird that you say it's "deliberately niche and indulgent" when every single person who has watched it barring one, who eventually got banned from SA for being a literal pedophile I believe, wholeheartedly loved it and was able to get into it. I don't think those words you're using mean what you think they mean.

Like there's a dude in GBS who just got into anime recently and just started on LotGH, and he's falling in love with it right off the bat. It's really not a stretch to say Legend of the Galactic Heroes is one of the best TV shows of all time, and calling it "niche" is disingenuous. The only reason it's not been localized in the US is because the holding company for the rights wants an INSANE amount of money for it, not because nobody has tried to localize it. Unless you're saying "all anime is niche", in which case...not really?

What I'm saying is you have to be literal human trash to not like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the above anecdote is proof, you see

A pedophile didn't like the show and some random dude from GBS did, clearly proof that when I say LOGH is great but not for everyone I'm full of poo poo.

I am a braindead ADHD baby (who likes Kill La Kill) and I still loved LOGH. But I don't think the audience for "broad historical overview space war drama set in retro sci-fi future" is particularly large. You have to be a very particular kind of weirdo to appreciate something that is basically Star Trek x a Ken Burns Documentary x Rose of Versailles

Nonsense. I don't see any rubber forehead aliens in LOGH, how is it in any way Star Trek?

pointless bickering about LOGH is still infinitely better than pointless bickering about KLK

every moe anime has worst animation than stringendo and accelerando: ultimatum sera which is just scene after scene of people sucking the cum out of dicks. They have worse plots and less believable characters as well. Funny, how things are, sometimes.

i had no idea the made an anime out of stringendo and accelerando thank you bafh

There are people in this thread who have got more than five minutes into Recently, My Sister Is Unusual (though I've yet to see anyone stupid enough to have given it the three-episode test).

Your move.

I've not seen anyone post that they've watched that anim.

Certainly no votes for it so the system works.

I watched this show in exchange for getting Batman: AA on Steam. I only made through 1.5 episodes before I quit. And I skipped through them a lot. That show is even more awful than you can imagine.

Actually. Bulletstorm is on sale on Steam. Whoever does a three episode summary will get a new gift in their library!

I think there were a couple of others as well. The three-episode rule is the only reason it isn't getting votes, because who the gently caress is willing or able to sit through an hour and a half of that?
