It's more that the movie ends in more or less the same spot that episode 2 does. But yes, I would also recommend skipping the first two episodes to watch both movies and then start with episode 3.

You can skip that one. It's unnecessary and not very good.

I worked as a proctor in college, so I had a lot of free time on my hands to get paid doing homework and watching anime. Start to finish I think I had it all wrapped up in a week or two.

The only one I can think of that kind of fits the bill is early on when the Alliance occupies a planet where a food shortage takes place. I don't think the characters involved are mentioned all that much afterwards, if at all.

The second movie is a much better take on the first two episodes, so I would absolutely recommend watching that instead.

That sounds extremely Hollywood and even sillier. Sometimes people just die and there is nothing noble about it, nor should there be.

The fake history channel episode is one of my favorites. The talking heads, the editing, the ostentatious bookcases and decor in the background when the various "experts" talk, all of it screams WWII History Week.

It is unfortunate that that happened but that character is hardly the only memorable one in the show and it would be a huge disservice to set aside all of the other great parts and storylines because of it.

When it was remastered for DVD some scenes were not usable and had to be re-animated. This bothers a lot of people but personally I think it's a hit worth taking compared to the laserdisc quality.

After one finishes 82 I recommend going back and watching the preview for it in 81 to really twist the knife. I can't remember the exact lines it used but it was essentially a terrifically sad eulogy for Yang.

"The new anime is not a remake of the earlier anime, but another anime adaptation of the original novels with a new staff." seems like a contradictory statement to me.

I'm not really sure what the distinction between the two is, but they very blatantly give away major events/reveals/deaths with extreme frequency.

The two corridors are pretty much a handwave to create the two bottlenecks for the convenience of the story. "Small stretches of passable space in an otherwise unnavigable area" or whatever. There is at least one moment IIRC where the ships actually butt up against the "edge" and it's damaging to them in the same way hitting the electrical walls in F-Zero would be.

Oberstein is definitely one of the more fascinating characters to discuss as the show goes on. Also I think expecting Yang to "not be a pussy" is comically missing the point about his character. Bare minimum, it should be becoming abundantly clear how despite there being two "rising stars" on either side of the war the fact that they contrast so much in personality/make-up/approach is going to be one of the major thematic elements utilized by the story.

You're in luck then because a huge amount of the story is spent on Reinhard's relationship between himself and his followers.

See that's the sort of technical minutiae about TLJ that I couldn't give less of a poo poo about. Star Wars is a fantasy universe and has never concerned itself, I mean not really, with consistency on its more fantastical elements (which yes includes WWII-style space battles) in the same way say Star Trek would. The maneuver works in that movie and not in the other movies because it does now and not then, and really doesn't merit much discussion beyond that. The same with how the force is kind of whatever the gently caress the director thinks it is in any given movie. At this point it's best to give up on forcing these things to fit a specific mold and just kind of accept the elastic nature of that universe, even if it is dumb and often doesn't hold up to much logical scrutiny. What does ire me endlessly about the TLJ is the inundation of B plots with everyone not named Rey/Kylo/Luke, and how ultimately virtually every plot thread outside of those three is inconsequential and does not contribute to any sort of meaningful character arc (or I should say, a character arc pulled out of the ether suddenly for this movie alone). I hate to borrow the RLM term but this is "Wheel Spinning: The Movie", and I think a legitimate argument can be made that if you cut out every single scene in that movie that is not Rey/Kylo/Luke it is not only a better film it is also a film that still makes complete sense because nothing about the rest of characters matter with regards to how they are at the start vs. how they are at the end. The rest of the movie is a One Piece filler arc.
