ITT: we cast live action LOGH

Idris Elba as Reinhardt
Jackie Chan as Yang Wen Lee

I found the series to be mediocre, but the thought of there being a live action movie that has appropriate production values, (which will never fucking happen), interests me. It's actually what I think a good direction for the Star Wars movies would be, though it's unfortunate that they're cramped by almost everything essential about the conflict already being told in the six movies.

Jaden smith as Julian

>which will never fucking happen

CGI has become dirt cheap and there's always no-name actors to be found to play a role. Never say never.

>CGI has become dirt cheap
Good CGI is still very expensive. I still had something in mind that would cost above $100 million.

I had something mind like recreating the scenes in ROTJ when the Vader and Emperor arrive on the Death Star, but through large portions of the film, and on an even bigger scale, which I don't think can be done on a small budget.

>I found the series to be mediocre

Dominic West as Reuntal

Reuenthal was the most based nigga

I find your post mediocre

why not an actor instead... you know, a person that can act

No. LoGH is great because it's not restricted to budget. It's impossible to do it properly in live-action unless this was the Soviet era and the communist party handed you a blank check like they did for War & Peace.

I still need to watch this, is it on Netflix or Hulu?

>I like this series while you did not
What are these posts supposed to tell me other than you liked it while I did not?

Tbqh, there were dozens of great characters in the show. One of my favorites, besides the likes of Yang, Reinhard, Mittermeyer etc., is Jessica Edwards.

Take your pick.

Is this bait? I really can't tell

He was in some terrible movies/shows after The Wire, but in it he was great, so kindly fuck off.

That your taste is garbage. The show has one of the best characterizations in the medium and beyond it, good directing, great character interactions and has no plot armor, in the true sense of the word. Also, the atmosphere is great and OST makes it even better. Grey morality was executed well, and the political spectrum of the show was pretty good.

Forgot to mention that Yang's alcohol philosophy was top tier.

Aiden Gillen as CIA
Tom Hardy as Bane

Bane?

Our superiority over you

my bad I thought you meant the dude from prison break/legends of tomorrow

There are only two character I really care about enough to worry about casting choices.

>live action LOGH
will never happen because of the stuff they stole from star wars

Fuck off retard

Tell me of Bane? Where does his allegiance lie? Is he supporting Kaiser or filthy democrats?

Np.

They didn't steal shit.

What stuff other than Iserlohn?

>The show has one of the best characterizations in the medium and beyond it
Not really. The characterization was limited to Reuenthal, Reinhard, Yang, Mittermeyer, and Oberstein. The rest of the characters served conventional roles and where hardly memorable.

>good directing
I don't know what you comprise under "directing." The space battles were almost always completely chaotic, with every battle being won with common sense or factors that were never properly explained.

>great character interactions and has no plot armor
The immense stupidity of the characters that were fated to lose could be considered plot armor, and certainly with Schönkopf.

> atmosphere is great
The atmosphere was good for the Emprie, dull as dishwater for the Free Planets Alliance.

The series did not come close to justifying its absurd length, the motives behind the Terraism cult were never clearly explained and its entire existence and role in the story was half-baked, and the animation has aged like milk.

I said the series was "mediocre," meaning it's not all bad.

I wonder if they would cast him as a woman like manga did.

Why do they wear the mask?

for example how rubinsky gets his orders from a hologramm of a hooded old guy
the empire not exactly being space nazis, but space preußen


there aren't that many things they stole over all, but Iserlohn is already enough to not adapt it, at least in the west

Probably some "intelligent woman" actress. Can't think of any at the moment, really.

I heard that he is actually a woman in the novels but the old anime replaced him because having a woman as the villain wouldn't sell

I'm watching the Gaiden now, I'd watch anything set in this universe. I'd watch Yang Wenli drinking tea and thinking, don't even have to hear his thoughts.

Why was Rubinsky so pointless?

>He doesn't think Aiden Gillen and Tom Hardy would be perfect for the roles
It's like you've never even seen LOTGH

LOTTA LOYALTY FOR A PATRIOTIC INDIVIDUAL

>I don't know what you comprise under "directing." The space battles were almost always completely chaotic, with every battle being won with common sense or factors that were never properly explained.
War is chaotic, but I meant the direction overall, not just the space battles.

>Not really. The characterization was limited to Reuenthal, Reinhard, Yang, Mittermeyer, and Oberstein. The rest of the characters served conventional roles and where hardly memorable.
Characterization wasn't limited only to those characters, have you even seen it to the end? Buckock, Jessica Edwards, Julian and many others had something to them with their archetypes.

>The immense stupidity of the characters that were fated to lose could be considered plot armor, and certainly with Schönkopf.
You missplaced stupidity for honor.

>The series did not come close to justifying its absurd length, the motives behind the Terraism cult were never clearly explained and its entire existence and role in the story was half-baked, and the animation has aged like milk.
Terraism cult is one of the few things that sucked about the show. Animation did age like shit, but it was solid most of the times. Would you say older movies sucked, because their special effects and what not aged like shit?

A lot of movies stole from SW and got made, why would this be any different? The only reason this wouldn't get a live action film would mostly be because it has a small, but faithful fanbase and isn't exactly that popular.

Cuz he's a jew

There is a new anime supposedly coming next year but they haven't even announced the main cast until now wtf?

not really pointless as much as he personally didn't contribute much to the show. role of landesharr itself and seeing just how phezzan managed to jew everyone for so long was intriguing, though.

>A lot of movies stole from SW and got made, why would this be any different?
because Rogue One and TFA are about a death star again, no idea about the following movies, but it will take a shitload of years before you can present another death star like thing to a broad audience

but yea, not that it matters anyway... I wish this anime was more popular

>with every battle being won with common sense or factors that were never properly explained.

I must agree with this one, most of the time they don't win because they are such geniuses, but because their enemies act like fucking imbeciles

or how kircheis destroys the artemis necklace with some "zephyr particle" shit, wtf

>War is chaotic, but I meant the direction overall, not just the space battles.
Okay, but that doesn't make it entertaining. You might as well not even show the battle at all, then.

>Characterization wasn't limited only to those characters, have you even seen it to the end? Buckock, Jessica Edwards, Julian and many others had something to them with their archetypes.
I was talking about most of the series. The characterization wasn't extensive enough to save the series, and it's again sandwhiched between plenty of filler.

>You missplaced stupidity for honor.
No, I meant stupidity, as in doing things that were irrational and devoid of prudence. Yang and Reinhard simply unnaturally more talented and smarter than everyone around them, and the story never makes their ability believable. I'm compelled to use the M word at this point.

> Animation did age like shit, but it was solid most of the times.
It ruined it for me. The show can perhaps be lauded as being completely free of anything of those stylistic aspects, (such as moe), that have plagued anime for decades, but that are usually used because they can add personality while still maintaining a budget.

>Would you say older movies sucked, because their special effects and what not aged like shit?
That's a difficult question to answer, but I think this show poorly works around the limitation of its budget, unlike shows like Sailor Moon or Lupin. I'm pretty sure this series was cheap even for its time.

>but yea, not that it matters anyway... I wish this anime was more popular
I agree. Boring Germans In Space deserves every praise it gets.

If they went to explain their strategies in great detail, the show could'ev easily had hundred episodes more. And yes, it's another flaw that's easily seen by the eye, but the show does so many things right that it's ignorable.

>I wish this anime was more popular

I doubt that's ever gonna happen because LoGH is pretty much anti-thesis of modern anime in many ways. People are way too easily impressed by production values to notice how hollow most of the shows are.

I don't even want a LA version, because the original was all about the conflict in political systems. How both had their faults, democracy was usually totally corrupt while monarchies can get out of hand. A live action in today's day and age would be about how democracy is the good guy vs literally Hitler. Subtleties would be tossed because audiences are dumb and major media can't stop with the constant propaganda

>I don't even want a LA version
exactly

How could you even handle the stuff between Kircheis and Reinhard?
I mean they are mad gay for each other.

>Okay, but that doesn't make it entertaining. You might as well not even show the battle at all, then.
Direction isn't exclusive to space battles. I was aiming at the moments when characters have dialogues and just talk about everything, from philosophy to war, and it was great. I had the feeling that I knew them better than I do myself.

>I was talking about most of the series. The characterization wasn't extensive enough to save the series, and it's again sandwhiched between plenty of filler.
Do you even know what the term filler implies? This show had no filler, and if you're talking about all those moments outside of battles like characters having conversations and just talking about everything, as I've already said earlier, then that isn't the show's problem, but yours.

>No, I meant stupidity, as in doing things that were irrational and devoid of prudence. Yang and Reinhard simply unnaturally more talented and smarter than everyone around them, and the story never makes their ability believable. I'm compelled to use the M word at this point.
Which parts exactly do you mean?

>It ruined it for me. The show can perhaps be lauded as being completely free of anything of those stylistic aspects, (such as moe), that have plagued anime for decades, but that are usually used because they can add personality while still maintaining a budget.
Animation wasn't even that bad, and it also had a blu ray edition that improved on a lot of animation's errors.

>That's a difficult question to answer, but I think this show poorly works around the limitation of its budget, unlike shows like Sailor Moon or Lupin. I'm pretty sure this series was cheap even for its time.
Those 2 weren't as large scailed as LOGH was. And also, LOGH didn't make much money, and that hurt the show's budget.

>Those 2 weren't as large scailed as LOGH was. And also, LOGH didn't make much money, and that hurt the show's budget.

Not the guy you're answering to, but I think it's pretty clear LoGH got made because someone REALLY want to see it made and not for some crazy financial gain. Remember, it's an OVA series released in small number on per-order basis on VHS and LaserDisc.

>and it's again sandwhiched between plenty of filler.
ĆAPANEEEEEE

George Clooney as Schenkopp
Ben Stiller as Reuenthal
Owen Wilson as Mittermeyer
Young Leonardo Dicaprio as Reinhard

>tfw it's a fight scene between your 2 favorite characters

Thanks for correcting me, user! (Not being ironic).

Anyone here like the new manga? I've read the first couple of chapters and the bug eyed artstyle is not to my liking. I just hope the 2017 anime won't be Yaoibait

Haven't read it, but I bought the books, though.

Why was Poplan so based?

>I just hope the 2017 anime won't be Yaoibait

If it's anything the new manga we're fucked.

...

And he had the best bants, as well.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOO NOOOOOO

...

Jessica > both of 'em.

Disgusting.

...

...

Odin save us.

...

No man alive is qualified to play him desu senpaitachi

Wouldn't that just be "The Kaiser"? My german is very rusty though so the article might be wrong

>this was made in the 1980's
Was he the first fedorafag in anime?

...

Should we have gotten a trailer by now?

...

...

...

I've seen LotGH, but I don't remember this line.

I don't remember this, is this from the gaiden series?

...

Test

It was during a documentary episode were reinhard was reviewing the new curriculum I think

Nah i think this is when Rheinhard gets coronated and reads about the shennanigans of his various predecessors

I think that was from the history flashback episode.

Its from the "prequel" series

It's one of the episodes were Reinhard finds out about the secrets of the Goldenbaum dynasty

EP 059

Wouldn't that just be "The Kaiser"? My german is very rusty though so the article might be wrong

>this was made in the 1980's

Thanks alcohol, humanity's friend

...

He wished death upon Kaiser.

...

Good thread

...

This should be a banner desu

Why would she assume he had a girlfriend though?

...

Its like the writers were pandering to a certain group of people

Because Yang is good looking and famous?

Why did these guy disappear after the first few episodes did I miss something?

>give the dog chicken, he's old so he can do whatever he wants
What DID he mean by this? Especially in relation to the "Dogs eat dog food"-line? Did he mean that the peasants should be given more?

At some point it was publicly known that they are the enforcers of Trunith so he disbanded their little club, but if i recall correctly they did some minor stuff during the invasion of Heinessen off screen

Job Trunicht

Walter von Schenkopp

...

Trunicht wasn't dumb though
