I decided to get into this and I'm downloading it all now. I've watched the first 4 episodes and I'm already hooked. Looking forward to the series!

So, I am watching LOGH for the first time this week, and I just finished the first season (sorry to derail any current topic). Wow, I really do not know what to say. The first 2 episodes I felt were really slow, but after that the show has steadily increased its tempo all the way to the end of the first season. The art really turned me away from this show for the longest time, but I do say after only a few episodes I forgot why I hadn't started watching this sooner and was hooked. I suppose I sound like a broken record, I bet people have been saying that for years in this thread, but all I can say is more people should watch LOGH.

I mentioned that I had started watching the main series about two pages ago in this thread. Well, I finished it today. Oh my god. So loving awesome. I hardly know what to say. Anyhow, I'll wait a while before watching the side stories. Whether I can hold off until the subbing finishes remains to be seen.

Has anyone come across a retailer importing the new PC game? I've seen it for sale here, but at around £60 by the time I add the postage, it's a bit pricey for my liking ...

I ran the retail price they give through Google to convert it to USD. It's like a $1.50 USD markup over the retail price, so I don't think you'll find it much cheaper anywhere else.

Thanks to this, I'm 50 eps in, and having a blast. This series is fantastic, and the way they just kill off characters is almost amusing.

Thanks to this thread Im on like episode 33 its amazing, this is defiantly one of my favorite animes of all time.Professor Irony posted:Hmm, I hadn't bargained on Japanese PC games being so expensive.

You can download the trial here, its awesome http://gineiden-game.jp/ the trial is only some weird cutscene movie stuff and a 15 minute playable demo of the game, but you get to see that the AI is no pushover.

Didn't know a mod already existed. I've only watched a couple episodes of the original series so far. Rest is still in the tubes.

Started watching this after I ran out of Tytania episodes to watch, and I have to say that episode 4 is the most homoerotic thing I have ever seem. It has to be intentional because holy poo poo its so gay.

No you have to think when it was written if this was 2000 it would definitely be gay, but back in the 70s or 60s whenever the book was written it would just be considered a close (not gay) friendship. But yeah I started watching it for the same reason, and its been amazing so far.

Wellllll, the manga of the novels was very shoujo, so I think the gayness was intentional, at least for that version of the story.

I enjoy joking about it as much as the next person, as it's rarely depicted in fiction nowadays, but it is kind of bothersome when someone honestly doesn't understand this intense kind of friendship.

There's some good action coming up. Finish episode 7, if it's not grabbing you by then I guess it's not for you.

The action is intermittent, and secondary to the real meat of the show. If you're watching mostly for the action you probably won't be all that satisfied. It's good payoff, but the buildup and aftermath are usually more important.

Ah I see. Still, I don't want to give any false impressions about the pace of the show. It almost never moves very quickly; one might use "deliberate" or "inexorable" to describe it, but I am not sure I would say it ever "picks up" at least by contemporary standards. But that is subjective and I don't know exactly how Mokinokaro meant it.

Yeah, LOGH never pretends to be something it isn't, and the pacing and style present in episode 1 generally remains constant throughout the series. There won't be one episode or even one season where things suddenly come together. It's one of those things that you might not see anything of particular note in a single episode, but when you look back on the story arc as a whole you can't help but be amazed. It's all about the build up and general scope of the whole thing that really draws in people. I've said this before in the thread, but the best comparison I can think of is something like The Wire which is also very deliberate with its pacing, and can't be evaluated at anything less than the sum of its parts.

When I watched it, my feeling was that the whole thing felt like a chronicle of future history. It wasn't an up-close, dramatic, in-your-face retelling of events, but rather a slightly distanced and broad examination of all the elements playing against each other, and their eventual results. Very non-standard flow for a TV series, but I thought it very addictive. Like tuning into the history channel from several hundred years in the future.

Kept at it and things are definitely better now (starting ep. 7.) Good show so far but I think it was the lack of an attention grabbing first episode that initially turned me off.

But that is subjective and I don't know exactly how Mokinokaro meant it. I see it as kind of like real history or politics. Sometimes stuff happens in an instant, while other times it's the slow culmination of multiple factors. Important events can range from a certainty to a freak coincidence. The only reason that LOGH even has 'arcs' is because they're defined by whatever the most important military or political conflict was at the time. There are always unrelated things going on that range from taking place in a single episode to spanning multiple arcs.

Ask and ye shall receive: http://www.yumei.com/gin/c_guide-e.html If you're not sure what some of the abbreviations are in the series/episode/movie listings, check the by-author/composer index and you should be able to get it. The last time I watched LOGH all the way through I jotted down all the ones I recognized and only missed a few - all those trips to see the CSO finally paid off! Seriously though, the series really is a primer in popular themes from baroque/classical/romantic music. If you listen to all of the songs it uses in their entirety and learn them by ear you could snob it up pretty well in the right circles. Just don't tell people that everything you learned about classical music was from anime.
