Logh is not very gay at all, except that one Kaiser. It is latently, intensely homoerotic at times though.

It had just occured to me that pretty much everything wrong with the Empire can be summed up with Braunschweig's "I have the right to do anything I want to my planet!"

61 episodes in and I just realized that with a wackier soundtrack and some goofy reaction shots the series would basically be a sitcom where Yang is three days from retirement but things keep spiraling out of control

Hey, so I watched this entire series in the last month or so, finished it up today. I would've done GDT posting but I was terrified of catching spoilers because I'm curious as gently caress and click on black bars all the time. I'm not one for epics or sci-fi, to be quite honest - I tend to prefer slice-of-life stuff, or more self-contained stories -, but Star Wars and Gundam discussion put me in a space opera mood. Since I've always heard good things about LoGH here, and SA is basically my only source for anime and anime accessories, I figured I'd give it a try. Turns out it's pretty good. I only did the regular series, no movies (I wasn't aware they were preludes). Maybe I'll come back to them at a later date. I guess I'll put my overall impressions under spoiler tags, so spoilers for EVERYTHING: By the time I finished LoGH, I was pretty exhausted, it being such a long, dense series and all, but even then I felt the last "season" petered out a bit. I guess one of the reasons is that it's pretty much an extended epilogue. "Yang died, the Alliance is gone, Reinhard 'won', now let's see how everything settles down". It's interesting, but it's not as...uncertain as the previous events. Makes for a harder binge experience, since the pace is slower and more predictable (although the last five episodes or so go into turbo mode). It also didn't have Yang Wenli, my spirit animal and Best Character (well, probably tied with five other people). Why did you have to die so dumbly, you dumbass? It was three days before your retirement too! I think by now you guys discussed to death the "good dictatorship x bad democracy" aspects of this series. It's interesting, if a bit heavy-handed at times. Both sides are humanized pretty well, and I personally enjoyed how the traditional "evil" side, from our modern perspective, is the one that prevails - and it's fine. It's an Empire that might become parlamentarism probably maybe?? It helps that Reinhard is a shiny sexy golden god of virtue, you couldn't help but cheer him on when he was on full blitzkrieg mode anyway - especially after Kircheis dies and he loses his "innocent" side. Something else people touched on here and I found interesting too is the counterpoint to that argument, represented by Yang x Reinhard: sure, your leader might be the Nordic Jesus Christ (Thor, I guess), but what happens when/if he's out of the equation? The Republic loses Yang but still keeps everything under control, because Yang wasn't that important as an ACTUAL leader. As soon as the Kaiser gets sick, though, or whenever other people take action, the Empire breaks down. Julian gets his "victory" thanks to Reinhard's breakdown, for example. In terms of character development, it's impressive how the show kept so many people relevant and just added MORE names to that list as it went on. Reuental and Mittermeyer were as much main characters as Reinhard and Kircheis, for instance, even if they began as just "helpers". Julian goes from naive child to actually pretty badass as Yang's successor; the entire "cabinet" on Iserlohn's side gets to shine (and the Rosenritter's demise is one of the coolest moments in the entire show)...I'm terrible with names, so the fact that I can rattle out these guys' names is already a statement to how tightly everything's knit together. Also, now that I stop and think about it, the sheer SCALE of dead people in LoGH is insane. Of course planets were basically cities there, but there were probably a billion deaths over the span of six or so years, holy gently caress. Now, for things I didn't like so much about the series: it starts a bit rocky (the movies probably fix this), both in terms of production values and plot structure. Nothing that doesn't go away before episode 10, really. I'm also pretty meh on the Terraist/Phezzan angle. It felt like they were there because the series needed a new "bad guy" after the monarchy and the Alliance's big wigs were gone, I dunno. They got their big kills, but they never had as much impact on the political side of things as I'd have hoped. Even their end was white noise-ish. On the lack of female protagonism, I'm willing to give LoGH a pass for a couple of reasons: first, it was made in 80s Japan, if anything it shows quite some restraint in their treatment of women. A couple even get to do actual things! Plus, they seemed to make some timid improvements as the series went on - even though in the end every single relevant women was there to be a romantic interest. Oh, and before I forget: Yang, Kircheis, Schenkopp, Reuental, Reinhard, in order of "how bummed was I when they died". I guess this is what I have to say about LoGH right after finishing it. Well, and also this:

I think the manga is new, isn't it? Not bad so far, although I'm glad the focus is shifting to Yang. I was never that interested in Reinhard and Kircheis.

Were some episodes retouched over the years? I'm at 23, in the middle of the civil wars right now, and i've noticed a few episodes are crisper? or something, like 23 and the capture of iserholn I'm not sure how to put it into words, it doesn't appear to be higher budget, just...different edit:it's noticeably happening from shot to shot now so i guess so?

I'm up to season 4 on a rewatch. I know some people dislike the slow start of season 4, but the first episode has really great moment where Mittermeyer beats the poo poo out of Flegel set to Bruckner. I was just laughing my rear end off the whole time, because seriously gently caress Flegel. Also, there are an unexpected number of things that are explicitly foreshadowed in the show. I forgot a couple of these given how long some of them take to come to fruition.

There is much, much more of it in the early parts of the show but it pops up from time to time later as well. It's usually just sorta irritating, but occasionally it will occure during a battle shot and you get some pretty nasty looking CG. The reanimated style is, unfotunately, not really in keeping with the style the main OVA is executed in and looks like the much uglier gained animation.

This is why the LD rip is the supirior version, despite being a bit grainier than the nicer DVD shots. Kinda makes it feel like I bought them from a weird comic store in an unmarked paper bag from a guy who smells like cabbage and a wet attic.

OddObserver posted:You folks should write them down. I will write mine up and post them in here when the next episode goes live. Some might get cut out, because mikey edits these. If it were me editing, you would be getting the RAW LOGH CAST, which would also include a lot of me stating my point and then mikey calling me crazy. Mikey isn't making predictions because he is boring and refuses to play my game. Randombattle is making a couple, but they are like the lowest level predictions. I am making... grand predictions. They will all be correct. Actually, I will put my predictions here now, but I will spoiler them in case someone really wants to hear me say them live. I have no idea what will get cut, so I don't know what you will hear anyway. I will add some reasoning if I can. 1. Kircheis will die this season. He has to, he is far too affable and likeable to live in this world. Reinhard needs something to change his character, it is too stable right now, and the death of Kircheis would do just that. There are only two people in this world that matter to him - Kircheis and his sister. Losing one of them would be a change that makes sense, as it would strike into his heart an emptiness and loneliness. It might even make him question his ideals? Why this season (or I guess the first episode of next season which could also work if you want to go for a crazy cliffhanger)? There needs to be something climactic to end things on which changes everything. 2. Oberstein will do something abhorrent. I think the scorched earth plan initiated in the episodes we just covered in the upcoming session was his plan, and put that on him. However, if that is not enough for me to win this prediction, he will probably do something even worse very soon. Oberstein just seems like he is a poo poo house rat who will do the wrong things to meet his goals. 3. There will be a civil war in the empire between the nobles and Reinhard. They allude to the possibility, and I think it will erupt very soon. I am not sure how long it will last, but it feels like with how much of the season we have left, it will end at the resolution of this season. Reinhard, naturally, will win. This one is obvious - Reinhard wants rid of the nobles, and he needs to consolidate power. 4. There will probably be a civil war in the FPA too, or something which massively changes the administration like a coup which forces a military adminstration. It just has to happen, very soon. There is no way you wage such a huge war, and lose so many men in a single battle and do not face heavy repercussions back home. Yang will not side with whatever happens, and will probably have to fight it because he is a nice guy. Yang does not seem like the sort of person who would agree with the forced assumption of government. Likewise, he is stationed at Iserlohn from now on - he is too far from the centre of political power to actually be part of it. 5. Yang will eventually resign from the military and retire. Probably next season? But he will get pulled back in, because he is just too valuable and he has too big a bleeding heart. 6. Yang will die before the end of the show. Before the final season, even. Probably season 3? Mid-late season 3. In the recording, I initially guess end of Season 2-mid Season 3, but I feel like it will be mid Season 3 more and more now. It feels like a natural point, especially when I consider that at some point Yang will have to retire and get pulled back in. Why? Because Reinhard, after losing Kircheis, will need Yang in his life. As an enemy, or maybe friend, but a rival nonetheless. Yang seems like the only person who can possibly oppose Reinhard, and Reinhard is bloodthirsty and perceptive enough to notice this, and he wants that competition in his life. He cannot do without it. As such, to throw Reinhard further into turmoil, Yang needs to die. 7. The FPA will totally lose the war at some point, probably in Season 2 or 3. 8. When the FPA loses the war, it will go quiet for a while. Then the war will reignite over something or other, somehow. Rebellion maybe? Subjugating a people which is the same size of you in one war probably won't be the last thing you hear of them. 9. When Yang dies, Julian will take over. He idolises Yang too much, he admires the guy, and would probably continue to fight for Yang's ideals. 10. Phezzan will probably fall. Season 2? It does not feel like it can survive as an independent power when Reinhard wants to control the whole universe. It will fall before the FPA, because who would see it coming except a crazy person like me. How it falls I do not know, but it probably will not be from a siege. Doesn't seem in line with what Phezzan does. 11. Rubinsky will not die when Phezzan falls. He will probably escape. He might bend the knee to Reinhard in return for service? He seems too self confident to do that however. He will probably continue plotting and acting from the shadows, like the smooth operator he is. 12. The Earth Cult will largely stay behind the scenes, as in they will not be a central focus until maybe season 4. However, they will do things, possibly big things, in season 2 and 3. Whatever they do in season 3 will be what draws attention to them to solidify them as a threat which needs dealing with. There is no way that Mr. Black Cloak and Spooky Hologram in the dark is just going to be a side function to this story. e; also that handsome rosen ritter fella has to die at some point. If you are wondering why so many of my predictions which involve death revolve around Reinhard - I see him as the protagonist of this show. This is his story, but there are a lot of characters. This show feels like a biopic of Reinhard. e2; also DO NOT TELL ME if I have got these things right, or mikey or Randombattle. there is a certain joy i will get out of being right and them being wrong considering how hostile they are to my predictions. I want to watch the episodes for that week, and then spend the rest of it grinning to myself because I was right. Another Person fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Feb 18, 2016 |

I have a feeling that this podcast is just going to get better and better. I like how AP is clearly coming from a very different background than the other two (I do wince at your historical analysis every once in a while, especially the Caesar stuff, but whatever) and it gives him a very different perspective on the show than the other two. It's worth remembering that this series was originally a series of books and is noteworthy for being a reasonably faithful adaptation (though supposedly the new LOGH series will be even more faithful somehow, or at least that's what they claim) and wasn't originally written by professional anime screenwriters like most anime. Also, it was direct-to-video and was never intended for a mainstream audience (an audience who buys thousands of dollars of laserdiscs is by definition not mainstream). EDIT: Question for anyone on the podcast: Season 1 ends on episode 26. I know you do it by 4 episode chunks, but presumably you'd want to end an ep on the finale rather than having your 7th ep cover the last two episodes of Season 1 and the first two of Season 2. Will you do two three-episode podcasts (21-23 and 24-26) or a 21-24 and a 25-26 mini-cast summing up the season? Patter Song fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Feb 20, 2016 |
