How do you cope with the thought that in the case of extratrerrestrial or intergalactic warfare that you might be one of hundreds, thousands, or millions, destined to die based on how good your commanding officer's tummy feels?
Watching LotGH for the first time and I can't help but feel trapped immediately in an existential crisis of "If that were me". Starring the ubermensch offspring of operation Paperclip and rural bastard prince bloods survivors of a post Xi Jinpimg China Edition.
working under the best admiral bittenfeld btw, it was my lifechoice to serve him
Is this anime good, or are people just pretending to like it to look cool?
It is and has been an honor anon.
not a meme, however you should watch it when you feel you're ready, even if that's several decades from now. I hated war shit but found myself wanting to watch it after seeing a couple minutes of it over a year ago, I'm just a few episodes in and already fighting those inner thoughts of what is right and wrong "if it were me" situations, might be why shows like these aren't commonplace today as they'd force young men to second guess the reality of war.
It''s the goat you're missing out.
the episode count is what's holding me back
GED is the only anime with a more than justified 3 digit count of episodes, heck 2+ even.
Then don't watch it. If you're not excited by the idea of having a lot of good stuff you can watch every evening for 6 months it's not for you.
Also if you're the kind of anime fan who doesn't read books for leisure and watch anime fights out of context on yt shorts don't even bother. Not judging, it's just not for you. This anime is more like a very long saga of books than a seasonal shonen anime.
Do you really want anon to be stuck as a seasonal pleb. Improving their taste is a holy calling.
I'm tired of retards who don't want to read/watch long manga/anime. We have the same guys in One Piece threads. If you don't want to watch a story that takes its sweet time and prefer to stick to short garbage with very little room for depth and development, be my fucking guest. Open up tiktok, play candy crush, do something less rewarding that demands no investment. I'm not the one who's gonna make my world smaller because of my limitations.
comparing ginga eiyuu densetsu to one piece
Oda is better than shakespeare bro
naval shit is miserable honestly
Just view it more like 4 seasons of 25 or so episodes each
Is LotGH 10x better than a 12-episode anime though?
I mean, I've watched both, but I can understand the hesitation with One Piece. We're talking about 110 episodes vs. 1128.
Isn't his entire strategy just "CHAAAAARGE" and yet he somehow always survives?
He's a comedy character.
You underestimate the nerves of steel humans have. Remember, soldiers once advanced in line formations and blocks, fired their shoot and just STOOD THERE reloading their muskets while being fired upon.
he's a crazed cavalry commander. always need one of those for reckless operations.

Based
I simply will not enlist for war, no matter what propaganda they use. Also, what's the definitive version of GED? Saw the Ova 9 years ago and I'm currently holding off reading the novels but it would appear there is also the manga and the remake.

Nah, I'd win
So what? If you don't like it you drop it, if you like it you have a thousand episodes of stuff you like to watch. Sounds great to me. I genuinely don't understand what the issue is.
This is how it looks the best version on Nyaa.
The best version of the prequel movie looks much better.
Watches 7 seasons of My Hero Academia, probably
"nah bro LoGH is too long"
Watch an episode each night, anon.
Numbers don’t matter, probability does. If it’s the type of war where you have a decent likelihood of getting sent to some cushy front which is basically an overglorified space cruise then it’s not bad. However, if it’s a bloodbath where every theatre is Stalingrad on a galactic scale then it’s joever.
I haven’t watched LotGH btw
We have the same guys in One Piece threads.
OP is over 1,000 episodes long. It could be the greatest piece of art ever conceived by mankind (it isn’t), and it still wouldn’t be worth the gargantuan time commitment. Not to mention, the comparison doesn’t make a lick of sense; not only because one is "just" 100 episodes long, but because LotGH is a long-form epic that actually justifies its length.
I will never see a kino space warfare like in LotGH
Why even live
Kind of, but the value of Bittenfeld is that his units are able to maintain enough cohesion and morale to actually make the attack and succeed or at least survive. Someone has to go in first and take the initial brunt of the enemy's fire, and Bittenfeld for reasons never fully explored in the show was able to create a unit capable of doing it consistently.
Man this timeline sucks, where is the cool scifi shit that was promised.

Side episodes featured these too, it's comfy.
Finally a LoGH thread. I'm watching for the first time. I'm about 30 episodes in. I worry that I won't "get it" because I have very little personal experience with sacrifice, and while I understand duty, I don't have experience with it as it relates to your nation (me burger). Nevertheless, the smaller scale character dramas have been compelling and deaths, both individual and large scale with some of the war atrocities, have brought out lots of emotion.
Oberstein is my favorite character. I've come to like Yang more than Reinhard after the interrogation started pushing him to his limits and making him bare his fangs a bit, but in general prefer Empire POV. No spoilerinos plz

That's like, your opinion man. At the end of the day they're still both works of length many consider intimidating to the point they say shit like instead of just starting it to see if it's good. I'm glad I've watched OP and I think the fluff is part of the appeal of One Piece. Yes, even runpiece. Would absolutely recommend reading the manga instead though, 1000 chapters is much quicker to read and much more forgiving than a thousand episodes of slowed down fluffed out content. Nobody listens though.

Trying a little too hard here but hey as long as you enjoy it.
I like how military officers in popular media are always portrayed as these beautiful, giga intellectual ubermensch
its fujobait anime
It's interesting the show occasionally shows the cruel reality of the average foot soldier as he's blown apart in the most gore-y fashion while begging for his mother, all while all the conflicts are basically driven by a few people's egos. Yet it never decides to hammer the morality of it in the viewers face, the only two people who even acknowledge it are Yang (who doesn't actually care) and Oberstein (who is basically told to fuck off by everyone).
