capes are a draco reptilian custom passed onto humans because their royals have wings that look like capes when folded in

Why can't anime be this kino again?

>>5857828
Requesting the full version of this if it can fit on /wsg/.

>>5858916

>>5859068
original music?

>>5857826 (OP)
I'm glad I witched all 110 episodes.
Kino to the highest degree.
the character development something else.
it felt like I knew every character .
if only Kircheis were here.

>>5858794
>Why can't anime be this kino again?
men aren't men any more.
Zoomers literally think hanging out with male friends is gay.
no joke, they think that.

>>5857826 (OP)
This anime is so boring. Is it more appealing to gays or something?

>>5860198
yes

>>5861537
Ah ok. I can watch rather boring anime if it has cute girls so that makes sense

>>5860253
Best theme in the entire show.

Love this anime

just finished reading the first book and it's surprisingly one-to-one with the show, far as i remember last watching it a decade ago, plus literary effects (dramatic environmental descriptions, mindreading and explicit ironies)
was expecting dense sci-fi, got space opera not-so-light novel

>>5864054
Isn't it an actual REAL novel? Also, how'd you like the first chapter being nothing but info dump, or was that just the og jap version I read?

>>5864179
>info dump
felt nostalgic for those scenes in the anime, which feels part historical documentary part political drama
it's perhaps more digestible on revisiting
wish the english version came with original japanese covers

>>5864263
Seems like such a bold choice to start your story that way. Especially since it's such a hard sell for people, "historical space opera" is already niche as it is. Maybe reader retention wasn't an issue back then.

>>5864054
I've listened to the first 3 via audiobook and the only real change I noticed was around Reinhard and Westerland

>>5864179
>Isn't it an actual REAL novel?
They are. Novels and short stories.
A lot of people make the mistake of thinking if it's got an anime adaptation, it must be a light novel by default, when LNs are more like YA books.

>>5864263
>wish the english version came with original japanese covers
I wish any edition other than the original came with the Kato covers. Even the 40th anniversary edition uses the newer Hoshino covers, which is what the English version also uses.

>>5864179
>Isn't it an actual REAL novel?
It's a light novel, but not quite as "light" as what currently runs under that label.
The English Haikasoru release is decent, but I guess these days I'd get the Japanese version instead (日本語でおk).

I really like the art style and visuals of this. Are there any other similar animes like this?

>>5865730
I'm pretty sure it's just 80s anime. Check out City Hunter.

>>5865730
Gunsmith Cats but basically what >>5866054 said

Should I watch the remake or the original?

>>5866488
original, remake doesn't even come close.

>>5866488
Og. Pretty sure og was heavily influenced by the bitter experiences of war veterans as such mundane things as tiredness and raggedness gets put far, far greater emphasis than in the remakes, which seem to have forgotten that you don't get the luxury of sleeping or resting for days on end when things are sliding out of control. In og characters often have that "the kind of tired sleep won't fix" look or expression to them later on in the show that remakes don't.

>>5866488
OG series then gaidens
remake design is atrocious

>>5859068
Brisbane mentioned

>>5857826 (OP)
Love this anime.
Also mankind deserved Rudolf Von Goldenbaum if you really think about it.

>>5869182
Crueltyofwar.avi
pretty kino
>>5866488
The original is better in every aspect and is finished, the remake is worse in everything except the space battles animation.

>>5857826 (OP)
If only Kircheis were here to watch this thread

>>5857826 (OP)
This anime is 90%:
>Ay, reinharto-sama!
>OIY!
>YUHHHHhh!hhhh.........
>KAHKAH..............

Yuo......! KAKA! YUoooo....

>ruhenthal
WTF was his problem? Seriously

Him, his girl, the Fezzan lex Luthor and his girl are all so damn WEIRD

>>5866488
Original but also the other seasons

I don’t get why 90% of people don’t seem to know there are more episodes than 110 of the first seasons, there’s like 200 episodes total made by the same people at the same level of quality

You get to see Reinhard’s childhood as well

>>5869294
Rudolf THE GREAT did nothing wrong

Surprisingly shitty take by the blond brat on that one
If you want to criticize democracy point at trunich, not based Rudolf

>>5870101
Plenty of people know about the gaiden. They're just not as important as the main story, and a few are even anime original.

>>5868268
Lol where?

>>5870101
I don't enjoy the digitally animated episodes nor Yang with a different voice. It's like the soul is lost. Early Gaiden was good though.

>>5870331
5 seconds in to the webm
for some reason it becomes the capital of earth

>>5871304
Lore accurate. In LoGH, there was a major war that took place between two global powers in their distant past (our near future), who used nukes to MAD each other into non-existence. Brisbane was one of the only major cities to survive and ended up becoming the capital of the new post-war unified government.

>>5857829
What does the pentagon symbolise on the flag and why is theirs different?

>>5860253
i like how you can hear direct quotations of different classical pieces like rienzi and the 1812 overture...

>>5871304
>>5871593
That's pretty fucking funny for how ridiculous it is.
>mate, australia superpower by 2030!

>>5871627
The pentagon is also the symbol of the Free Plants Alliance and the P.K.C as pictured there (Patriotic Knight Corps) is a pseudo military organization operating as secret police in the Free Planets Alliance
as to what it actually means the Japanese probably looked at the Pentagon building and decided it was very war themed

>>5866034
much better than the nigger music webms posted before

damm, I need to watch the whole thing again someday, before I die

is there a good dub or should I just suck it up and give myself a headache with subs?

>>5872887
The OVAs were never professionally dubbed, beyond two episodes in the middle as a pilot-test. It's sub only.
The remake was partially dubbed, but I wouldn't recommend watching the remake over the OVA.

>>5872887
Everyone gets used to subs after enough time.

>>5864054
I remember someone telling me the LoGH novels were garbage.

>>5860198
it mostly appeals to history nerds

>>5878341
Im a huge history nerd though and I thought it was pretty boring due to the pacing and the yaoi undertones were a little offputting also

>>5878429
the remake has a faster pacing, if I am not mistaken, I found that it lacked buildup and time to appreciate the lore
