[Neane1993]

Greatest Battle between two people ever.

[EpicMomentGuru]

Why haven't you watched this already.

[lunaverna]

I just love the classical music in this series.

[CounterLogical]

Thinking about watching something like Code Geass, does this come close?

[KMoroboshi]

@CounterLogical It wouldn't be too far out to say Code Geass (namely, the Lelouchy bits) took inspiration from this series. LoGH is a lot more cerebral than CG (and much less visually stimulating), but it's the better series overall.

It also transitions between seasons better. ;)

[chobit389]

@CounterLogical The question is, does Code Geass come anywhere close to this? Answer: No.

[Tarage]

@chobit389 That implies that Code Geass was anything more than "WHAT A TWIST" endings and a general train-wreck. Don't get me wrong, it was an enjoyable one, but saying Geass had a good story is like saying Pokemon has a good plot.

[mathieuhld]

this is the most epic anime ever



[Vonzaku]

Greatest thing I've ever watched.

[DopeBoyDan]

E.P.I.C.

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

greatest ANIME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[superhakujin]

Holy god, this gives me such goosebumps!

[EPsuperFan]

one of the most brilliant and unique space battle setting: a pre-napoleonic war battle with thousands of ships in place of line infantries and cavalries... dueling out in space with volleys and volleys of fires...

[EtripleV]

Sieg mein Kaiser!

[Gademanyak]

All your animes are belong to LotGH.

[unfetteredfreak]

@Gademanyak oh yeah !!

[Intranetusa]

What's the music that starts playing at 00:16 called?

[caius112]

@Intranetusa It's Dvorák: Symphony no. 9, 4th movement, 1st theme

[Intranetusa]

@caius112

Thank you very much!

[Besateswarrior]

Someon know the first music's name?

[stormrage2007]

@Besateswarrior Dvorak's New World Symphony - 4th Movement

[Besateswarrior]

@stormrage2007 THANKS! i am searching for this for about one years!

[herpesarefun]

i see that 1 person missed the like button. SO EPIC * 3*

[royalplaylist102]

Am I the only one who see a direct parallel between the 19th century germano french wars and this anime? The only thing missing is a prequel about a galactic Napoleon. The Japanese seem to admire occidental (including russian)culture and that's great since we totally forgot who we are in general and how we got where we are today. I've stopped after the 110 episodes are the movies and the rest worth watching ?

[CastorKrieg]

@royalplaylist102 3 movies happen before the main seies, they explain some things better. "Ouverture to the New War" is Episode 1 + 2 stretched to 90min., so you can see that they've added a lot. If you enjoyed LOGH then by all means watch the rest.

[Intranetusa]

@royalplaylist102

For me, only the empire resembles 19th century Prussia but nothing else resembles the Napoleonic Wars. The Alliance resembles a modern day bloated American bureaucracy.

I wouldn't say the Japanese admire occidental culture any more than the West admires East Asian culture...it's different and interesting, so people like to see the diversity outside of what they're used to.

[royalplaylist102]

@Intranetusa I do think Japanese admire occidental culture more than we admire east asian culture. I've watched over 100 seinen anime and they are usually very oriented toward occidental culture they make a lot of reference to russian litterature , german way of life , French life style, the bible etc. They use a lot of english term and even use some english song for generic or intro I'm still looking for that kind of asian influance in our media and I can't see it.

[Intranetusa]

@royalplaylist102

Japan adopts/admires American culture thanks to America's influence after WW2. However, their attitude towards Russians, French, Germans, etc culture is more like curiosity rather than admiration (unless you're talking about aristocratic culture, which everybody seems to enjoy).

Everybody uses English words in songs nowadays since it's a global language. You see Russian, Korean, Turkish, Eastern European, etc songs all using English words.

[Intranetusa]

@royalplaylist102 Their views towards non-American cultures such as the French/Russian/German etc is the same way we view foreign cultures - exotic and interesting. Just like we eat pan-fusion cuisines or make references to non-Western things, they are the same. Their animes are about Occidental high culture - you don't see many about the mainstream Euro culture of the Russian/French/German starving peasant living off of bread and potatoes

They have actually adopted American culture however.

[royalplaylist102]

@royalplaylist102 manga*

[royalplaylist102]

@Intranetusa Did I talked of the Napoleonic wars?I said there should be a prequel. How can you mix up Prussia and Napoleonic wars? It didn't even exist as an independent state back then. The power of Prussia is one of the many results of the Napoleonic wars(that's why I said there should be a prequel) I was actually referring to the 1870 war. Anyway I'm french ,I had to learn about these wars at school and I've read extensive literature on this era I guess we don't have the same view.

[GubitAvitarus]

Man I want to watch this, but seriously 100+ episodes x 25 (approx) min each =

2500 minutes / 60 min

= ~42 hours.

Even if I tried to marathon this 12 hours a day that still take like 4 days.

With university, I'd be lucky to get in an 3 hours a day, more like 1.

WHY DID I WATCH D.GRAY MAN ISNTEAD OF THIS> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf

[atomisten]

@GubitAvitarus pahaha 3hours? ur a doctor or a lawyer student

[LionelMessi1337]

@GubitAvitarus

And that's not even counting the two movies and two gaiden series (both +20 episodes each)

[paulykid08]

@GubitAvitarus lol watch one piece xD

[smakkz]

Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

[atomisten]

anyone knows any similar animes like this?(in terms of maturity level and war-story)

[Ragnarokr]

@atomisten Have you tried Monster?

[Kalnaf]

@atomisten Sadly, nothing is on par with LOGH. Some fanboys (and girls) tried to argue that Code Geass is as intelligent anime as LOGH, but NOOO not even close

[unfetteredfreak]

@Kalnaf so true

[Intranetusa]

This was a show about a corrupt democracy vs an corrupt autocracy that became an enlightened autocracy.

The best form of government is an enlightened autocracy. The worst form of government is a despotic autocracy.

[toof]

Opening with Dvorak's New World symphony, 4th movement. . . closing with Ravel's Bolero. . haven't seen this anime but if its anything like the music picked, then I might actually watch it.

[wargamer234]

This anime series shows how stupid Democracy is

[Segord]

@wargamer234 This anime series shows how stupid Humankind are.

[unfetteredfreak]

@Segord REASON WHY FIGHTING SINCE IT'S existence IT'S FIGHTING FUTILE WARS AND DIDN'T LEARNT ANYTHING FROM IT'S PAST

[Kalnaf]

@wargamer234 No, this series shows that even though Democracy has its negative sides, it is an ideal that still has to be fought for.

[Dianne060807]

totally love this. never grown tired of it. when i go here, i always watch LOGH.

[meshowz]

the music played from One piece anime when Luffy kicked crocodile's ass

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

this show was so amazing, OMG I love how they show how corrupt modern democracy is, the Free Planet Alliance is like modern day western countries

this show was so amazing, being in the army people above you will always say you are wrong when you give advice even if you end up being right

Officers are most of the time cunts but damn, I am in ROTC guess I will be one

[Ares99999]

@tHeWasTeDYouTh So you'd like to live under an autocratic system where corruption actually is just as rampant, but where personal freedoms are actually less than democracies?

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

@Ares99999 no dude, this is just an anime show. I just never really thought how corrupt democracy is when we compare it to an autocracy. I just never thought about it, like in the first episode when the leader of the Free Planet is doing a political speach about the first battle where millions of soldiers died yet no one in his family is in tha army

stuff like that

[hatihatikawan]

RAINGHARDO VONG ROHEN GURAM why the heck they create a character whith the name that even the ccreator can't pronounce

[unfetteredfreak]

@hatihatikawan rather u listened wrong

[mgayford]

I love that they use Dvorak in the trailer. 4th Movement of Symphony from the New World was perfect for Battle of Starzone Amlitzer and its perfect for this.

[Gambio15]

Best Anime and best Sci-Fi opera ever created.

[unfetteredfreak]

best anime ever , no it's epic

[unfetteredfreak]

no words - just epic

[BLEOS33]

Kircheis!!!! I loved u

[Valk72]

Sieg Mein Kaiser! Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!^^

[narutofan97]

I already have like 5 other anime on my watchlist, so once i clear that up i'll get to this. Can't wait.

[TragicPineapple]

20 years later and it's still the best anime ever.

[Christianitylol]

@TragicPineapple This is without a doubt, the single best anime ever made. Nothing even comes close. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard! Hoff Kaiserin Hildegard!

[patlaborcrewman]

Were they broadcasting it again??

[Nauclerus]

Probably promoting the broadcasting of the new remastered version that came out on DVD a few years ago.

[narutofan97]

looks good enough for me. i'll take a look at it once i get last exile, ergo proxy, blue gender, and elfen lied off my plate.

[ClownVonDavid]

SIEG MEIN KAISER

[hollowcaustic]

How miss anime that made hair look like hair

[ccv707]

Agreed. Most epic anime of all time! I want to read the books!

[whatewer23]

whats that music at 1:16?

[HUNshearer]

Maurice Ravel's Boléro

[KatayokoNoTenshi]

I don't suppose you know what the song is that they play at the beginning? It seems really familiar to me but I can't quite put my finger on it...

[HUNshearer]

It's the New World Symphony composed by Antonín Dvořák.

[KatayokoNoTenshi]

Oh I see, so it is. Thank you. :)

[krkid24]

Sieg Kaiser REINHARD

[Stationsig]

Most epic anime ever.

So, the question is, do you chant "Sieg Kaiser!" or "Die Kaiser!"?

[VelSteyr]

Viva democracy!

[Stationsig]

Whim and foppery for all!

[roothands]

Personally, I preferred some sort of coexistence between the two governments

[proxyeva]

@Stationsig

DIe Kaiser

the reason i like Yang Wen-li more than the kaiser.

[Ares99999]

@Stationsig Die Kaiser.

I live in a democracy. I do like Lohengramm, but prefer Yang.

[Balasbam]

@Stationsig Sieg Kaiser Reinhard! Hoff Keiserin!

LoGH best of the best

[Sargonarhes]

@Stationsig Sieg Mein Kaiser!
