Winifred Madgers posted:Yes. It's a different beast in some ways, telling the same tale slightly differently, but it works very well and they complement each other, I would say. Neat, I'll check them out. Probably a good time as I'm just finishing up S1 now so that material is pretty fresh for me (that cliffhanger at the end of ep25 is diiiiirty). Nerdietalk posted:What an absolute moron. Oof, yeah that'll do it. The show touches on Max being pissy about the Empire trying to true-up with the cash his dad stole, but they completely leave out the genetically engineered unicorn dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at people. Come to think of it I don't remember hardly any future sci-fi tech in the show, outside of general space travel and cool, clear cybernetic eyes. FPA looks pretty much like modern cities/suburbs, and the Empire was straight cosplaying the 1800s, and everybody has magical explody gas to explain having battleaxe combat 1000 years in the future. Even those Crono Trigger sleep chambers that give you 8 hours of rest in 60 minutes stick out a little bit.

Doc Hawkins posted:once again i am telling folks who are considering rewatching the show: that's good, me too, but also, read the dang ol books Is there a decent place to get them as ebooks other than probably ? The small amount of room remaining on my shelf is reserved for any text/reference/board prep books I may deign necessary in the future. Especially if I decide to buy Harrison's Internal Med or something since that thing is massive.

I loved them, especially when he yells Bittenfeld’s line, “The goddess of victory is waving her panties in your face!” He also nailed book Yang’s more surly and depressed tone. I love the books for giving that bit more of the technical side of the world and little bits of the logistics of each moving part, plus the lovely dry humour of that passage quoted earlier.

If you bought them they’ll still be in your library, but I don’t think they’re still purchasable, at least in the UK.

I see whoever did the translation on the books couldn't decide between commodore and rear admiral since there have been a few times where it has flip flopped between the two in the same chapter.

Huh, I thought the DVD releases were still just transfers from the initial Laserdisc set, but it looks like a bunch of stuff was redrawn. I guess you could make arguments for both styles but I feel like the more pencil-line drawn style works better than the smoothed over CGI look: OG: DVD: or OG: DVD: Is there a legit/updated source for these "original" versions, or were they only ever released by Central Anime way back when (where those OG stills are from)?

I believe what happened is the masters were damaged between the LD and DVD releases, so they were redrawn out of necessity and can't be rereleased except in the form of an LD rip.

Ah it seems so. There is a dude on Reddit who claims to be attempting a proper digital archive rip of the LD set but that thread hasn't seen much activity in a year or so. https://www.reddit.com/r/logh/comments/kyrus0/i_am_excited_to_announce_legend_of_the_galactic/ e: Also, I had thought the files I had were slightly out of sync, but it looks like straight LD rips are the same way.

Some of the Gaiden 4 episode series are as good as anything in the OVA; ton of Reinhard & Kircheis beginnings, which besides the murder investigation one I couldn't get enough of. First episode of Silver-White Valley Kircheis breaks up a gang rape, gets jumped after fighting 6v1, and then Reinhard goes super saiyan and steps on necks, doing his best Hugh Thompson @ My Lai massacre impression.

I didn't fully appreciate how long it's been since I watched the original until I got going onto this scheme of Schaft's with Geiersburg Fortress, and I realized I don't actually remember whether this was even a thing at all.

Finished the OVA run a few days ago and still kind of processing it all. I think the fourth season stretch is weaker than the others, but it ultimately comes together in this beautiful package about the messy state of history. All the pieces left hanging clearly exist as if to just say "yeah, those problems will come back, because history never ends." Reuenthal's son reaching for the stars is one of the most chilling endings of all time that hammers home the cycles of empires. Another page turns in the book of history. Still planning on making my way through the novels but it really is an immaculate piece of work. Unlike anything else.

Nerdietalk posted:Finished the OVA run a few days ago and still kind of processing it all. Yeah Felix is too powerful, son of Reuenthal to be raised by Mittermeyer the most ethical Empire character after Kircheis dies, & the most innocent character in the entire show Mittermeyer's wife. I envision him and Reinhard's kid being the next Kircheis & Reinhard leading the Empire into a golden age, following Mittermeyer's leadership. You should watch the Gaiden episodes if you haven't already checked them out; they are completely out of order chronologically for some reason which is lovely but watching them in order starting with Kircheis & Reinhard's first assignments I loved the majority of it.

Clarification came out that the new 24 episodes will be split into two parts. The movies and episodes for the back half are coming out in the fall. So glad we're getting more and more logh.

I'm waiting for the years episodes to finish up before rewatching it all. I watched season one and two of the remake before binging the while original series so I'd like to go back and watch it all again.

I can't get into DNT right now, I probably will watch it all once it's released or more is out there though, just because of how much if love the original series. I do much prefer the old animation and character styles though.

Starting my chronological order rewatch again now and still just in awe of the scope of everything (Yang's Bruce Ashbey investigation) totally forgot about Yang's dad and how he entered the military to get a free history education. Think I'm going to pickup the books as well. Hopefully in time the novels themselves will eventually get the respect they deserve worldwide.
