I finished Legend of the Galactic Heroes, wow what a ride :#donkeykongtoboggan:

I don't even really know what to say other than if you know, you know https://i.rdrama.net/images/17288519901123087.webp https://i.rdrama.net/images/17288520484327564.webp

It was definitely refreshing to watch an anime with ZERO bullcrap weeb tropes. I'll probably check out the remake at some point just because of how good the story is, as long as they don't make egregious changes then it's basically a slam dunk.

EDIT: I'll list a few of my favorite side characters, reply with your own :marseyteehee:

  • Merkatz, absolute gigachad, though I will have to go back and think more about why he ended up staying loyal to Yang in the way he did when his goals/ideology were pretty much antithetical to him :marseythinkorino:

  • Mittermeyer, not much explanation necessary, just a good boi :marseyblush:

  • Bupeepee, democracypilled chad grandpa :marseykneel:

ZERO bullcrap weeb tropes.

You said it yourself. Weeb tropes are the soul of anime; that's why 'anime' is a genre and not a mediu. The production process behind all anime is that they're either adapted from mangas or light novels written for children, teenagers and manchildren - another indisputable 'genre' - or conceived directly inside animation studios that are under the same creative current. LOTGH was adapted from a series of novels aimed at none of these demographics which makes it thematically and stylistically distinct. That's why the average weeb finds it exhausting and why jokes abound about how 'no one who talks about it has actually finished it' They consider just watching it all challenge on par with reading War and Peace, because when they try they're confronted with a heady, challenging piece of art that so completely exceeds the nutritional value of their standard media diet they can't make heads or tails of it.
