I forgot why I stopped watching this and tried watching again from where I Ieft off. It's when the Rosen Ritter are introduced. I remembered why - I don't like how Schenkopf looks now.

Finished rewatching the OVA. Maybe next I'll finally move on to the Gaiden series. Why's it so good?

Because you get to see Yang/Reinhard & Kircheis' military career beginnings; at least two of the 4 episode story arcs are as good as anything in the OVA. I thought the Free Planets stuff wasn't as good as those episodes, and not all 4 episode arcs are of the same quality, but you should definitely check all of the episodes out once finishing the OVAs. Also more royal court intrigue/Benemunde machinations prior to the OVA.

I watched some of the new series and…

Besides the lack of classical music (and an amazing selection of classical only rivaled by the Hannibal tv series) the direction/storyboarding is just not great

I was looking forward to the battle between Iserlohn and Geiersburg but seeing Geiers zip around like a space fighter was just ridiculous. Even with the shoestring crayon budget of the original they were able to give the sense that these were massive, massive death stars. Such a shame, because I was looking forward to it having a much better animation budget and flashy cg effects

Tools are only as good as the hand that wields them. Anime is no less immune to poor choreography and cinematography that CGI unfortunately lends to itself.

Meanwhile I really enjoyed episodes 42 and 43 of the new anime. The talk between Huang and Lebello, no action, and I believe what is new the reaction of of the FPA citizenry of the kid emperor, even if a lot of was ham-fisted. I don't think the original OVA had like bunch of random dialogue of opinions about the situation?

At the current rate, roughly as long as the original series.

I can't get myself to start watching Die Neue; I did watch the Reuenthal v. Schenkopp 1v1 and thought it was cool enough. But I doubt I will watch it until it's finished & I've rewatched the original OVA few times. I dislike the animation (though the ship battle CGI is cooler to look at) & the character designs, everyone looks so similar compared to the OVA days where every character has their own expressions and distinct facial features.

They're actually a good example of how old LoGH does a good job. They're definitely similar looking, but even if you shaved them bald and didn't have the hair color to go by they have distinctly different eye sizes and nose shape.

Yeah I mean I can understand the point they look similar, but not to the level Die Neue These is and I also think they look distinctual enough. Also I just think the animation doesn't allow for the human characterization the OVA can provide. Yang for example, appears totally different to me and not the sort of unassuming, laidback, humble 'hero' he is in the OVA compared to being basically a mirror to Reinhard in appearance & confidence as well.

I've fallen off on keeping up with the re-release, but here's the latest tech demo for the OG series laserdisc remaster. Looks pretty clean IMO.

Frederica Greenhill is one of the Top 5 Ride-or-Dies in Anime History if just for this scene alone


steal my man and i'm dusting off the old uniform. *~just watch~*


e: I cannot believe the Imperial Military Occupation and the Alliance puppet government left all the Rosenritter guys to their own devices. Walter von Schenkopp is basically Otto Skorzeny But Good. Of course Fred and Walt are going to get the band back together to do some A-Team poo poo and kidnap the prime minister the second they get a halfway good reason

Are you watching the remastered version? They reanimated some scenes around the turn of the Millenium and it didn’t quite match because the animation was too good/clean

If I recall the original footage was stored poorly and damaged, and they had to re-do all the bits that weren't salvageable.
