Irony Be My Shield posted:I think those little hints are meant to play into the pseudo-history documentary style of the series. Episode 84 spoilers: Like, if you were watching this in the LotGH world you'd already know that Yang dies to terraists, so commenting on Yang's last actions is something that makes perfect sense from the narrator. They're honestly the best parts because you get bits where the narrator goes, 'yeah historians are divided whether this guy was good or evil and I have no idea why he did the things he did.'

Pornographic Memory posted:If you were watching a documentary on WWII, for example, it would probably be mentioned pretty freely that the Axis lose, Hitler shoots himself, the Soviets win at Stalingrad, the Americans win at Midway, and so on and so forth. They'll still recount those events themselves in a way to capture their drama and importance, but the ultimate outcome is not necessarily something they'll keep the audience in suspense over. unless it's the dan carlin's hardcore history podcast. he imposes so much bombast and drama over the story that he himself becomes a part of the performance.

You get a bit surprised when he announces the beginning of the Russian Revolution even though you knew it was going to happen.

His 7(?) part history of Rome is pretty great as well, plenty of poltical jockeying and backstabbing (  ) for you to analyze with LoGH parallels. It was taking so many episodes to get through he just said gently caress IT and made the last ep a 3 hour long 'movie' podcast. Download his poo poo and get on that treadmill goons.

So I was thinking about Yang's character, and I realised that he's a historical archetype, but what's interesting is that he's an archetype that often applies to one's past enemies. That is, the archetype of the honourable, ethical leader who fought for the bad guys, or possibly for whichever side ends up losing. Consider Rommel or Yamamoto; both are considered to be much better people than the regimes they were fighting for, and both are considered to have been more or less infallible in combat itself. Though there is some truth to these ideas, the modern view of such figures often grows to mythological proportions. Even during the events of the series itself, the respect held for Yang is perhaps greater among Imperial officers than among Republicans such as when Mecklinger requests permission for his men to be able to salute the holy grave of Yang Wen-Li. Basically, Reinhard fits the criteria for what is considered to be the 'Great Man' of history, whereas Yang fits criteria for the 'Honourable Worthy Enemy' of history.

This show is pretty prude about it, and if you see nipples it's always because the soldiers are looking at some porn or because the historian in the documentary is talking about a period in history when people were whoring around. There are a couple nude shots of women of character, but these are always "tasteful" like just butts in the shower or something.

That changes somewhat in the Gaiden prequels but that's largely because of Schenkopp storylines.

No idea, but I just got to the end of season 3 where everyone sings it and goddamn I love this show. Okay, just watched the first episode of season 4 and goddamn the new intro song is awful.

Annerose has the ugliest fuckin mug on the goddamn planet. I almost gave up on trying out the show when I saw her face plastered on stuff. If everyone looked as awful as her then I don't think I would have been able to watch it.

Most shows only have one or two characters that I feel emotionally invested in, but with LoGH it's nearly every goddamn character.

OP1 kind makes me cringe when the singer struggles to hit the note for "skies of love" She doesn't seem to have any problems with OP2 and OP3 I didn't notice they apparently switched singers for OP4, sheesh.

I figured this might interest some of the people here: DMM, the browser game people responsible for KanColle are coming out with a Galactic Heroes browser game: http://www.dmm.com/netgame/feature/ginei-ta.html It's not released yet so I have no idea if it'll be any good (given the pedigree I'm assuming it'll be a mostly non-offensive "log in daily, run a couple missions, build up your armada" type thing) but it is free. ...and in Japanese. If you preregister (you'll need to set up a DMM account, but once that's in hand preregistering is just pushing the button) you'll get either a free Reinheart or Yang once it starts. I take no responsibility if it turns out to be terrible.

I've had this show on my computer for years now and still re watch it. It holds up so well seeing characters and little bits of dialog that build up to so much more. It's the perfect hangover show too. Extremely engaging, but not too loud or busy on screen.

Sorry if this is commonly asked, but are the links in the OP the best/most recent available? I want to try getting a buddy into it, but the torrent link size is about eight gigs smaller than the one I got, so I'm not sure if it gets bigger or that's actually right.

The DVDs are remastered, so yeah they look better. LD proponents get all mad cuz some of the scenes had to be reanimated because of footage damage.

The reanimated scenes look like absolute poo poo, which is a shame because the remastering is nice. Still, the LDs are just fine, I'm fond of them because they remind me of old school fansubs traded by VHS, though much nicer.
