>It's an Sup Forums pretends LotGH was the greatest thing ever written episode
Seriously though, so much of the political themes in LotGH were heinously on point. It's foremost value to me was a kind of educational review of modern politics. Whoever wrote it was clearly exceptionally knowledgeable. Even hypnotized patsies like Sirhan Sirhan: lotgh had everything

For me, it's Oberstein: intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor.
Jose Allen

Hunter Williams

Yoshiki Tanaka, who studied history rather than literature. It's why the books come off a little stiff.
Jordan Barnes

Couldn't agree more. This feels like it's from an Adam Curtis documentary:

That's just screamingly apparent. They should have had us watch this in highschool history instead of whatever it was they had us do. I can't remember a damn thing.

Still watching the series. It's pretty refreshing how it shifts perspective every few episodes.
Logan Hill
Currently reading it, and I think books are great, as good even if not better than the show. They also have a lot of funny anectotes about secondary characters, lef out of the show. Was intersting to learn that Lobos acted as retard because he has a syphilis probably given him by Imperial spies.

Huh, I didn't remember that, poor Lebello tho, he's constantly being screwed up

As much hate as the remake gets, I think it will be superior if they get a director that actually knows anything about film.

I remember someone complained that nobody in LoGH references real history at any point in the series. However, the writing definitely shows that Tanaka has an excellent understanding of history and its 'characters'.
I remember watching 0079 for the first time recently, and remember a scene where Gihren Zabi equates himself to Hitler. It's the only time a real historical figure is mentioned in the show, and was probably added in by Tomino to show how Zeon was the evil faction. But worst of all, it colors your perception of Gihren's character for the remainder of the show.
Reinhard gets compared to Napoleon and Alexander by viewers, despite this never happening in the show. This is because his actions are able to speak for themselves. "In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same" isn't just a thesis statement for LoGH's story, but for its storytelling as well.
Thomas Rodriguez
In the books Yang spergs about real life history all the time, though.

Don't lie to yourself, you know LOGH's directing isn't good and can be greatly improved.

All great moments.
The reason the 4th season and the Gaidens are so boring is too much Empire and not enough FPA. What great moments does the Empire have? Reinhard crying that Kircheis isn't in bed with him, Oberstein interrupting a wedding to announce his diagnosis, and Reuenthal killing millions of his own troops.
Angel Wood
The only redeeming quality of 4th season was watching how Imperial scums kill each other for petty reasons

You're going to have to give us a storytime of how that want. Was he surprised LOGH was popular in the west?
Jose Morgan
I forgot the novels have official translations now. How far are they?
Connor Martinez
I found the first one a little dry but the translator did a decent job of not making characters seem like they were wooden or that I was reading transcripts of the OVA.

He was a little perplexed when I set the novel down in front of him until I said "Reinhard". After that he nodded and smiled, I told him that I love the series and that his performance as Reinhard is timeless, and he thanked me and shook my hand. Really sweet guy.
I think I might've been the only one there for LoGH. Everyone else I saw had Vegeta merch.
Justin Rogers
I couldn't agree more with this post. The shoehorned Hitler comparison in 0079 struck me as completely lacking in subtlety and even true accuracy. LOGH presents characters and a world which viewers can understand without having studied history, but having knowledge of the inspirational source material enriches the experience for those that have.
Colton Smith
She looks better than the guys.
Luis King
>I told him that I love the series and that his performance as Reinhard is timeless
That's overstating things, isn't it?
Blake White
Maybe to some, but not to me.
Christopher Allen
Why do you think he didn't recognize the series? Surely he wouldn't forget his role in something so long?
Oliver Thompson
>a world which viewers can understand without having studied history
Well, yeah, it's just Star Wars minus magic and aliens.
Sebastian Barnes
The book cover is in English so he probably just couldn't read what the title was.
Wyatt Price
Because the book's cover is pretty generic?
Jason Collins
I'm not sure that the covers for the English and Japanese versions are the same. It's also pretty common in my experience for seiyuu not to know what the localized titles are for the series they play in, so there's a good chance he wouldn't know that Legend of the Galactic Heroes = Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu.
Jaxson Nguyen
>Gihren Zabi equates himself to Hitler
It was to show that Gihren was retarded and that he didn't even know who Hitler was.

I guess I should have just said accuracy, but I meant that there are clear parallels between the characters yet their differences set them apart more than they are bound together by similarities.

A true galactic hero would have gotten her to sign her bum.

A joke. A nod to holocaust revisionism and the ironic idolization of Hitler by the far right youth and Sup Forums in general

Isaiah Davis
Three Kingdoms was kino but you're not going to trick me into diving deeper into Chinese history than that.
Aaron Harris
I always figured the Empire constantly referring to the FPA as the "so-called Free Planets Alliance" or just "rebels" was a nod to the PRC's naming conventions toward Taiwan.
Carter Young
The Republic of Iserlohn was basically Taiwan/The Republic of China
Logan Lewis
I WANT TO MATING PRESS REINHARD AND CHURN UP HIS ASSPUSSY!!!
Easton Cox
I admit I'm a pleb who doesn't know a lot of Chinese history. I always though Yang was based on Hannibal of Carthage, with Vermillion being his Cannae in space.
Luke Roberts
>English cover: 1-man fighters
Nobody cares or remembers that shit. Even Poplin eventually stopped using them and just hung out in the command center cracking jokes. And the ones on the cover don't even look like the show. It could be anything. It's generic.

This is what people remember from LoGH. Good job, team.

How's the new translator? Can anyone tell a difference?

Hannibal has none of Yang's softness or the internal conflict to make morally questionable choices even if it means it would make winning the war easier. Those two elements are likely borrowed from the traditional depiction of Liu Bei from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Of course the military genius side means that he's more of a blend of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
From what I've seen, Yang Wenli being based off Zhuge Liang is a pretty common idea among the Japanese fanbase since they're more familiar with RotTK.
