/a/ has practically weekly threads about it.
This board doesn't have people who can appreciate an anime like LOGH. Just a little while ago, I humiliated this retard who thought art was subjective and another who was defending capeshit.
Oberstein was the true hero and a real human bean
>>67701260
No giant colourful rectangles and triangles though.
>>67701680
While I agree, Reuentahl grew on me.
currently watching this show and it's been great, wasn't expecting such an interesting plot and it's only rarely a drag to watch
>>67701260
>>67701727
Stay pleb.
>>67701216
Wow. An anime that actually looks better than capeshit.
These days everything looks better than capeshit.
>>67701785
Capeshit is a very low bar for comparison.
>>67701800
And anime isn't?
>>67701781
me too.
this anime has better writing than most television shows.
>>67701831
I notice there's no LoGH on this list.

You start with the OVA My Conquest is the Sea of Stars, then you watch the 110 episodes of the series in order, then you watch the two prequel series, and then you're done.

I'll admit that's kind of funny, but posting on /v/ isn't as bad as using filenames to look up somebody's posting history.
And I'd say that the quality of discussion on /v/ is actually a lot better than /tv/. /v/ is shit and always will be, but /tv/ has been constantly getting worse for what feels like at least four years.

How much would it cost to do a faithful live action adaptation?
Most of the planets aren't that high-tech looking, a lot of the scenes in the Empire are literally in typical mansions and shit.
I can see the space shit costing a ton though.

Well I wasn't narrowing the scope to only space operas based on OP's post.
>>67702946
>battle "tactics" that devolve into "form a circle and focus your fire on the center" that make any fights a chore
It's literally thematically designed to be napoleonic-style line firing except each individual soldier is a spaceship.
>>67702946
This is all true, but it doesn't keep the show from being enjoyable. Every now and then there's a well directed scene and the show generally has a pleasing look and feel to it. I don't mind that the tactics are generally kind of retarded in the battles, the ships slowly gliding around to Mozart with cuts to the commanders every now and then never gets old.
Reinhard and Kircheis' relationship is the peak of the show by far though. Too many of the scenes without strong characters devolve into soap opera tier plot for the sake of progression scenes.
>>67702865
You're an idiot. The filename the other poster searched didn't match. It's the hash that got the result. None of the results have the same filename as the filename in the search.
The result are different because the archives are different.

>cue reused cuts of Alliance ships firing and Imperial ships exploding
>"sir we're being beaten back!"
>Reinhard tells everyone to focus fire on the center
>cue reused cuts of Imperial ships firing and Alliance ships exploding
so on and so on ad nauseum until one of them does a "clever" trick and clinches the win. Unless one of the commanders wasn't a main character in which case they order all their ships to "charge!" and are instantly wiped out. The fights are actually less interesting than some of the admittedly interesting espionage and political dialogue until the show decides to get preachy and blows all of the momentum

How would you know? Have you tried watching anything other than LoGH and the 5 movies that get posted in every /tv/ anime thread?

Of course not. Not just this show, but there have been several anime of incredibly brilliant quality of writing. The only live action show of a similar quality is The Twilight Zone.
>>67703395
Oh, I've told people I know but it's a hide my power level type thing. The same reason I don't blurt out my sexual fetishes.

Sounds like your taste is the anime equivalent of imdb-core.
>>67704738
>The same reason I don't blurt out my sexual fetishes.
Most of my friends know what I'm into in that regard as well. It must be awful to have to hide who you are.
>>67704767
Is LOTGH not imdb-core? If all the supposed GOAT stuff is mediocre, why bother continuing. Masochistic. There's a ton of good films in the imdb top 250.
>>67704868
LotGH is IMDB-core TO THE MAX, not bad, but it's very entry level and most beloved by people who just saw it and haven't had the impact of the melodrama wear off yet. Still good tho.
>all the supposed GOAT stuff is mediocre
keyword there being 'supposed'. If you want to know what's really GOAT you shouldn't ask /tv/.

I'd argue that it actually seems better. As the world's gotten more and more nuts more and more normalish people have been drawn to them bringing the aggregate level of insanity to a relatively good level.
The board's gone from a niche nazi-circlejerk to a popular Donald Trump fan-club.

>>67705215
Okay. Master Keaton.
>>67705138
ghost in the shell - the movies are a bit tryhard and 2deep4me, and i enjoyed the series - stand alone complex - much more
it's basically cyber police special unit going after terrorists
>>67701654
LotGH isn't that great of an anime. Really poor visual direction and exposition.
>>67701960
>>67703052
But it definitely keeps it from being both the best anime and best tv series.
>>67705138
I think that this is probably one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. It's like if Gattaca weren't so sterile and sentimental, or if Contact weren't retarded.
It's got a cool score by Ryuichi Sakamoto (Member of the band Yellow Magic Orchestra, also recently worked on The Revenant) and it's also got an incredibly solid English dub (Brian Cranston plays a minor role).
The movie's slow burning, thoughtful and is substantial enough that it gets better and more interesting every time I watch it.
>>67705234
Ghost in the Shell is great, and the sequel is a particularly cool demonstration of Mamoru Oshii's style. The thing about the movies is that you don't watch them for the interesting setting, you watch them for Mamoru Oshii being Mamoru Oshii. The first movie has a relatively straight-forward pursuit plot driving it but in my opinion it's not the movie's strength. The sequel, which feels a lot more like aimless wandering and rambling to a lot of people, is in my opinion better because Oshii isn't trying to make anything other than an Oshii movie.
If you really want to see what makes Oshii shine I'd recommend his Kerberos trilogy. Unfortunately he didn't get to direct the last one but it's still all great stuff. And most people actually like the third one the most because, like the Ghost in the Shell tv show, it's got elements of what makes him cool, but a lot of normal stuff too to make it accessible.
>>67705339
I agree there. It's a really cool show but it's not GOAT.
>>67704902
>LoGH is entry level
>a 110 episode OVA with shitty animation made in the mid 90s with no dub, glacial pacing, and assloads of exposition and WORDS WORDS WORDS is entry level
You're mistaking entry level for popular, and its popularity has only surged over the last few years. It's not entry level at all, try to show your average bloke LoGH and they'll projectile vomit because most people can't even stand oldish animation.
> and most beloved by people who just saw it and haven't had the impact of the melodrama wear off yet.
lol, bullshit. Most of the people who dick ride it saw it years ago and have had plenty of time to get over the drama.
>>67704798
With his hypocritical attitude he deserves it.
>>67705138
Watch Bake Neko and its sequel Mononoke
Then watch House of Five Leaves, then watch Time of Eve.
>>67704798
Everyone should have at least one friend that they can share sadpanda links with.
>>67705215
I was going to recommend Planetes, but the anime has filler with shitty slapstick in it so that's a no.
>>67705355
Honneamise is great though Gainax surpassed it with lots of its later works.
>>67705378

>>67705355
Best Oshii is Angel's Egg. Second best was Urusei Yatsura 2.
>>67705295
I can agree that even among its contemporaries it's pretty unextraordinary as far as its visual style, and it does commit a few grave sins as far as the exposition goes, but I still think it's a wonderful show. It's the personality. It's the little things. As someone who grew up with a ton mediocre sci-fi in the form of movies, books and TV shows, it's my opinion that LOGH represents a crystallization of what makes the genre great - if not objectively great, then great to experience and enjoy. Intrigue, characters, circuitous plots and drama. I love Legends like a friend, flaws and all.
>>67705403
>surpassed it with lots of its later works
Careful, that's a dangerously hot opinion you're holding there.which later works?
>>67705425
I disagree, but this opinion doesn't offend me at all.
I'm one of those weird mutants that enjoys The Red Spectacles and Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops more than Oshii's animated work.
>>67705411

>Diebuster but not Gunbuster
Now there's a rare sight. I love Diebuster but I consider an extension of Gunbuster. Without it Diebuster simply couldn't stand on its own. It's great because of how successfully it builds on the themes which are already established.
>>67705471
His live-action works are interesting though I'd say that transition worked better for Anno than for him.
>>67704947
>tfwhe gets diesand no one wants to tell the emperor
>>67705526
This is just a twitter opinion, right down to the Diebuster > Gunbuster suggestion.
>>67705601
I still haven't seen any of Anno's live-action work yet, and I've been meaning to for the longest time. I think I'll try getting one now.
>>67705581
I liked Gunbuster more the first time I saw both. I had a bad attitude then, I wanted another Gunbuster so I got dissapointed. Then I watched both with a more open mind years later and I loved it.
Tried watching it and took me about 40 eps to realise that its shit. 100 episodes of snore inducing babby politics featuring flat characters, "genius" strategic decisions, recycled animations. Weebs love it because its a speck smarter than average harem show about cute girls showing their pannies
It's got depth. It does things that makes sense in a military view. Well sometimes not, but It was a good show to watch in the small time I had for myself when I was drafted into the military. I couldn't cringe at the way people were holding weapons because it's at least done seemingly right.

>>67707589
Does it bother you when something gets more-or-less universally lauded and you don't think it's merited? It doesn't bother me. I think it's the better part of emotional and intellectual maturity to accept that no one knows anything and there can be no consensus on what makes a particular piece of art good or important.
Yes, I think LOGH stands above other works of its kind. No, I don't think it's Shakespeare. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Don't let other peoples' taste frustrate you or you will never stop being frustrated.
>>67702946
>spends a long time praising monarchies and totalitarian rule

>>67707777
>No, I don't think it's Shakespeare.
Serious question, do you actually appreciate Shakespeare or do you acknowledge his greatness because society tells you to? I do not intend this as an insult if you do not.
>>67707684
Nice image.
Thank you OP. Just woke up, and this is the perfect way to start my day before work.
>>67707880
Of course, it's from the best anime.
>>67707872
Sure, how could I not appreciate Shakespeare? The guy was fucking clever and his works basically springboarded the entire English canon.
>>67707936
>Sure, how could I not appreciate Shakespeare?
Very easily. I'd suspect that a very large portion of the native English speaking population feels nothing towards his works whatsoever or otherwise outright can't stand him.
>>67707974
You gotta acknowledge Shakespeare, man. The printed medium was in its infancy. People got most of their literature from it being performed for them.
It can be better
Really good anime. A lot of things happening and a lot of characters involved. If your a history buff it's definitely for you.
>>67701952
The movies that come before are worse than the main series IMO

but muh political philosophy
it's so mature!
>>67701216
Yes. Berlin, Prisoner, Decalogue, Twin Peaks and Sopranos are all better.
There's lots of better anime shows as well like Eva, Lain, Utena, FLCL, Kaiba, Haibane Renmei or Tatami Galaxy. Not to mention lots of great movies.
Hell, there are even western fuckin cartoons that surpass it like Moral Orel or The Maxx.
If LOTGH impresses someone story-wise they should try reading something besides Harry Potter. If it's the visual direction then you're a lost cause.
How do we bring the show to their attention anons?
