there’s also the occasional moment where the episode starts during the opening credits, with the title getting in the way

Question of the week There are two episodes going over the History of the World The stories are fascinating but it’s hard for me to figure out what relevance they have other than the sections about Rudolph Goldenbaum and Ale Heinessen. Is there any nugget of insight to be gained from learning about the history of space exploration and space pirates?

Amazon had DNT season 3 for I think 28 bucks this morning, it's the cheapest price for it since the release.

This is stupid but charming: Fate/Grand Order (a mobile game with visual novel segments) is having a Halloween event where the characters dress up in costumes, and one of the outfits is: quote:Ozymandias: My domain spreads everywhere the light touches. Just you watch... I shall possess it all! ...Are you sure that's what I'm supposed to say? And if you're lucky enough to get the equippable version of that art, it's not a bad effect - "Increase NP Strength by 20% & NP Gain by 5% for yourself" Thanks, Golden Wings!

for those watching die neue these how has it been? I've been thinking of rewatching the series. someone once said it's a series you could finish then rewatch from the start and see all the pieces fall into place. it's just so good

Yeah if you’ve watched the ova no reason not to take a crack at die nueue. I hate the character designs, the ost, the alliance ship designs, but the ops bang and it’s the same story.

There's some stuff that wasn't in the OVA (I assume it was in the books but cut) that I've enjoyed. Significantly more context around Fezzan and the Emperor's "defection" for example.

I haven't watched the 3rd or 4th season (I want to wait for more to come out and plow through) but the first two seasons are good. My only real complaint would the be the character designs feeling too samey. But they could be my brain trying to attach the original series looks to the new show.

I found stuff looked more samey in the original show. But I also have no nostagia for it as I did not watch any of it until after watching some of Die Neue These

catching up on die neue these n tearing up a bit, they really did manage to modernize the show overall. We even got Dusty, that ol scamp. Amritsar is shaping up to be one hell of a scrap e. i'd never really picked up how Yang only became an alcoholic after the slaughter at Isolorn 1, dude absolutely hates his job

Funny, I happen to be doing a rewatch of the original and just today I watched the episode where Yang orders the Thor Hammer to kill thousands of people (millions?) LOGH really pulls no punches regarding war, nationalism, the latent fascism contained within liberal democracy, the rank idiocy of aristocracy - and how all these idiocies suck decent, talented, well-meaning people into situations where there are no moral choices

I remember when the commander of the military, when the Alliance went on that terrible offensive, outright says he hopes they lose in a non crippling way.

More DNT! https://anitrendz.net/news/2023/11/05/legend-of-the-galactic-heroes-die-neue-these-sequel-announced/ Nothing other than a "it's happening" but still good news. It does say something about season 4 airing in Japan in January but I thought that already happened last year?

'Seasons' is becoming a nebulous term for DNT, right? Wasn't the last one a series of movies rather than ~12 episodes? I'm pretty behind, I should get caught back up so I can relive the good times of waiting for CentralAnime to release more subs for the original series way back when

Yeah it's really confusing, but I think every "season" starts off as three movies and gets turned into a 12 episode run afterwards. I haven't been keep close track (I want to get more DNT episodes out before I rewatch) but I thought both season 3 and 4 had their 12 episode run last year.

The first season was just eps, but every one since has been movies that were broken into eps for broadcast, as far as I can tell.

Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord posted:I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

I'm still on mid-30s on my latest super slow rewatch (haven't gotten the gf to want to watch it with me lately so might have to just marathon it alone), but really want to get into episodes 50-110 which I have seen the least of compared to the first half of the show.

Schwarzwald posted:tbh I try real hard to ignore whenever the show gives hard numbers because I swear there are times where Wen-li will lose a quarter of his ships after a long engagement only to end up with more than he started with I imagine there are still ships being built, ships in varying states of overhaul, and shipyards full of mothballed ships waiting to be reactivated. Also, total number of ships doesn't really indicate how many are big capital ships vs small auxiliary ships. The limiting factor is probably finding competent crew to man them all. Do individual Spartanians count toward ship totals? I can't remember, do we ever see previously captured ships re-painted and used by the captor's side in a battle?
