Right, as far as I've ever heard anything at a higher than DVD resolution is simply an upscale from said DVD source. For a niche anime OVA from the late 80s/mid 90s 480p is as good as it's going to get, there's no going back and rescanning from the source like they're doing with Star Trek: TNG. If you've got Central Anime's DVD releases of everything you should be all set.

And wasn't there something with the cgi they used for a lot of the ship / fleet movements that they can't upscale in the same way as the cell animation? I wouldn't expect them to have kept all the original resources anyway. Lucky the show is so drat good it could have been done in ASCII and I'd still recommend it.

vvv I didn't know CB had bluray... unless you're just talking about the movie. Was still sure there was some additional complication with the ship footage.

I was already all when the FPA council was arguing that they didn't have the economic strength to support a costly foreign invasion... after reading about exactly that on CNN... ohgod it's all happening again

Quoting myself (again) from December 2011. There was also some talk about the unemployment rate/economy in the FPA which is basically the 99% movement. Does that make Trunicht loyalists analogous to the Tea Party?

I know a lot of these aren't exactly unique social issues but as I get older and am able to look back on more history that I actually experienced it really is freaky just how much our deeds remain the same...

Thinking of watching this. How many episodes are subbed and is the cast introduced gradually or overwhelmingly all at once?

Yea the first handful of episodes are a little names-character heavy since everyone is being introduced. Eventually the major players will get enough screen time and become easily recognizable, and anyone else of note will continue to get little name/title popups in the subs when they show up after a long absence. If you're grabbing subs I recommend getting the ones by Central Anime. They've been subbing this show for like 10 years at this point and seem to have gotten the style/tone of the characters down to a science at this point. Also don't watch episodes 1 and 2, replace them with the movie Overture to a New War as it is much better paced and provides a smoother introduction to the show in general.

Sorry, my bad. I'm guessing i should watch "Overture to a new battle first".

That is chronologically first, so if you don't mind a slightly longer ramp up narratively then absolutely do the 2 movies followed by ep3 and on. Basically the series starts off with the characters referencing this big battle that just took place, and My Conquest is that battle. The only issue I've ever had is that those first 2 movies are pretty similar thematically so watching them back to back can feel slightly redundant. That's picking some nits tho, it's all good content and we all envy you just getting to watch it all for the first time, and without month-long breaks between episodes at that :argh:

I feel comparing it to BSG is an extreme disservice to LOGH. LOGH at least had a well executed ending.

Also I keep thinking I have heard the new BSG was inspired in part by LOGH, but maybe I'm thinking of a different show's team that claimed it was inspired by LOGH.

Yes it will ruin any space opera-like shows for you in the future. I can't even see myself watching another show of this type because what's the point? I started at the top, why bother going down from there? And the political back-and-forth machinations blows anything in BSG right out of space. It was a cool show and all but even the writers admitted they were just making stuff up towards the end.

Looks like CA just recently put out the gaidens in 720, I haven't seen them so I can't speak to the quality, but they're here. They never released DVD versions of these episodes the way they did the rest of the series so everything before this was laser disc rips I believe.

I don't recall him sabotaging anything at all. His whole life is dedicated to his job but whether that was for his personal gain or for the greater good of the Empire was something that nobody really knew.

I think they're talking about when he goes to that planet that was rebelling against the Empire and is a total hardass and throws all the leaders in prison, then when Reinhard shows up and lets them all out he's treated like the good guy. That's the biggest example in my mind of Oberstein intentionally being an rear end in a top hat just to make the other leaders look better by comparison.

I don't think that my reading comprehension is that bad, but I wouldn't mind being corrected. In what way does the worst democracy beat the ultimate (as in best ruler overall, not most dictatorial) dictatorship aside from the metric of ~~reducing~~limiting the potential amounts of future crappiness according to the show? Or is that the only metric that matters?

What they're saying is the dude said that a crap democracy was still better than a good dictatorship, then you replied with an explanation from the show of how a crap democracy was still better than a good dictatorship. Everyone is in agreement all the time yaaay.

So I've been working on a way to share just LoGH stuff from my PlexApp server, and I think I've got it down properly now. I still don't know if I can use a dummy account that just has LoGH access and just hand that out to multiple people, or if I will still need to add individual accounts to my main server and just selectively share the LoGH content. But if anyone wants to be a guinea pig over the weekend let me know and we'll swap emails or something and try it out.

When I first started reading this thread there were only subtitles for the first ~60 episodes. Eventually people got tired of waiting for CentralAnime to release the rest and went and got some batch torrent of some crappy subs from Hong Kong that were barely intelligible. For a while I even banished myself from the thread because suddenly people were discussing the last 2 seasons, and it was probably at least a year until I finally sat down and watched the final episode.

It's a 110 episode political space opera that started in 1988 and it's ~*anime*~ which can be hard to talk people into starting. But like others have said watching people trickle into this thread singing its praises for a decade is a pretty strong indication that this one really is special.

I've never had a problem getting them from Central Anime, I'd recommend their version anyway as they've been subbing this show for literally decades now. This group is so old they used to mail VHS tapes to each other :corsair:

I was about to agree with you but the show is honestly a lot more nuanced than that.

JUST KIDDING they actually recently licensed the Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky property, no hard feelings right guys :downs:

I'll admit the ANN article is confusing, it's all about the original series but then it does throw in that last paragraph mentioning a new adaptation out of nowhere. I'm seeing lots of different sites talking about this, CrunchyRoll and even Central Anime's forums, but so far it looks like everything is linking back to the ANN article, so if that's inaccurate then who knows what's really going to happen. I'm placing this in the 'cautiously optimistic' portion of my brain for the time being.

Dig that first season ED though, especially when it plays over a closing montage.

I've always liked it when shows have content during the OP/ED, like there was just so much good poo poo in this episode they couldn't fit it in so they cut the canned opening and/or closing because holy poo poo guys you have to see this. It also only seems to happen when realshit is going down, maybe that's why.

It doesn't happen very often but every once in a while the show goes "here's how this works it's sci-fi lol" and you just have to roll with it. I always thought the Zephyr(?)

It sounds like your goal is to render in podcast form the 'Hey I'm watching LoGH for the first time holy shiiiiiiiiiit this is good' posts that we see in the thread every once in a while. I support this.

One suggestion, I'd slightly alter your chronological order and replace the first 2 episodes with Overture to a New Battle (movie 2). It covers the same content but is much better paced/animated than those first episodes, which give kind of a rough start to the story.

Consider the following:
Movie 1 - My Conquest is the Sea of Stars
Movie 2 - Overture to a New Battle (Replaces Episodes 1 and 2)
Main Series (Episode 3 to Episode 110)
(Optional Prequels)

Looking forward to this regardless.

Just thought of something, are you guys going to listen to the entire opening and ending songs each episode? This is important.

Yeah it's kinda tough to say. A lot of times it will be the closing scenes of an episode and the narrator will jump in with a "But little did they know that they would soon be bla bla bla". The story justification for this is that the entire show is modeled after a WWII documentary on the History Channel, and we're all complaining that they spoil what happens to Hitler half way through :v:

On the OP/ED front I think each of the 4 different openings and closings are done by the same artist (?) so it can be neat to recognize them as you go through the seasons, but realistically I wouldn't watch the entire things more than a couple of times each season. And like some have said they get dropped pretty often and they just run credits over more scenes because there was too much badass political intrigue to contain in a single episode that week.

Its not slow at all. Theres a lot of it but each episode is fairly impactful, and not just a chunk of an idea like so many shounen multi-parters.

The very beginning can seem a bit daunting, as you're being introduced to 2 dozen characters but before learning why you should care about them. I'll give a slight mid-season 1 spoiler to HeartPlug to see if they're willing to stick with the show: By the middle of the first season you'll be watching each side try to put down a civil war AT THE SAME TIME :kingsley:

I've actually never seen the first two episodes of the original anime, since they got replaced by the movie.

The movie really does a better job setting the stage than those 2 episodes. Even compared to other parts of season 1 the animation and pacing of those 2 in particular is a bit poo poo.

They're both a little awkward if you watch My Conquest first, as pretty much the same things happen in both. I guess at the time they thought people would only have seen one or the other.
