hachi Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 None of the shows there are interesting to me. So not worth it for me (yet), and 3rd world internet sucks for streaming. Quote
Marzan Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 And as usual, its North America only, so the rest of us are blocked. So typical. Anime is just marketed in such an awful way. I don't know if this means they will not release it physically? Quote
hachi Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-08-02/why-legend-of-the-galactic-heroes-is-worth-your-time/.119612 I like they're promoting LOGH but feels like an advertisement for HiDive lol. It's unfortunate though that the 'slowness' of the show would turn people off. And dubs? The voice acting is great I cannot imagine the dub being better. Anyway, I feel a little guilty I still haven't finished the 2nd novel. And more guilty I haven't bought novels 3 and 4 yet. I really need to budget for them soon. Quote
Focslain Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Dubbing this series will make it a bit more accessiable as there is a section of anime fans that don't want to read while watching. Personally I'd like a dub because I'd watch this series multiple times while painting minitures. I already do this with long sci-fi series and other animes (currently running thru Gundam Seed with my painting group). As for the new version, I really want to see how they do the space battles and deal with the Terraist group plot arc (no I did not mis-spell that). Quote
Marzan Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 The only problem with a dub is that they'll have to hire the entire male corps of english language voice talent. Legend of the Galactic Heroes has so many characters that the name of the character gets shown onscreen for the first couple of times they appear. My big fear is that we won't get a physical release, just the Hi-Dive stream. Quote
hachi Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 There's a Humble Bundle with LOGH 1-3 on it. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/haikasoru-books I'm on the fence though as I already got the first 2 novels. Still not done with the 2nd one. Quote
Sandman Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Looks like this release got botched. Apparently, SF got the wrong masters for this series. The masters they received don't have the on-screen text. One of the translators noticed this and inquired about it. The answer he got was "ah we did our job, not our problem". This is one of the series that really needs that onscreen text. There are so many people and places in LOGH that need to be identified. The dialogue alone is not sufficient enough to relay the information. Hopefully, this gets fixed for the DVD release but I doubt it will. Quote

As someone who's seen it more than twice and reads the books i will not be too affected by this, but it's certainly a big issue for all first time viewers. There are so many characters, specially on the Empire side with all the German names. Do you know if there's a BD release coming too? Quote
Marzan Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 So they are finally releasing this. And they’re taking no prisoners. I’m a massive fan of LoGH but 800 bucks, even for a premium release like this one is a bit steep. Holy cow! https://shop.sentaifilmworks.com/collections/pre-order/products/legend-of-the-galactic-heroes-premium-box-set Quote

Considering I had to drop $650 for the entirety of the Marcross Delta (course that is not including the eventual release of the movie version yet) and that was 26 eps to get 162 eps and three movies for granted a bit more I can justify it for now.

I've never ordered anything from them directly, it's always been via Rightstuf or Amazon so I don't know. Now that I've cooled down and done the math, the price is not that extortionate. All 110 episodes, the 52 Gaiden episodes and the 3 films. That's 5.5 minutes per dollar which is less than if you bought lets say Akame ga Kill or No Game No Life boxsets. So it's actually conmessurate. It's just all in one go...it's like 2/3 of what I pay on my mortgage a month. So it feels pretty violent. But if i can work myself around how to get it shipped outside the US, I'll probably order it. I looove LOGH and it's one of only 4 shows I'd do this crazy stuff for. Quote

Well... I'd say the LoGH set is indisputably more value for the money, but $800?! that crap's just out of line... even going by total runtime compared to other premium releases, $300-$400 would be sane Quote
hachi Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I don't have $800 I guess I'll stick to the light novels for now 8 hours ago, Marzan said: I tried to pre-order, but of course it's USA only. Sigh...

As far as I can tell the actual webshop is accessible overseas (I'm in Denmark btw) and I was able to order via a forwarder (I have been billed so its worked even with foreign credit card). Quote

There's simply no justifying this for me... as I said, when the less insanely priced Discs-only set comes out I'll gladly batter my wallet for it: ~$400 for a set of these, plus the $400 discs only set [I assume it'll be around that] is a far more impressive haul and I'll save about $200.... Or I could only save $100 and toss in a Brunhilde, Barbarossa and Hyperion in 1/8000 [approx 6"] off of shapeways... Power to those who do get the Collector's set though, despite my complaining I'm super jealous. Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 I'm just too new to this series to justify an $800 buy in. That is an expensive box set.. and I would be willing to get a regular edition if they ever decide to put it out. Quote

They can't not make a 'regular' edition, they can only make $800,000 off the special ed. since it's limited to 1000 pcs... they stand to make alot more than that when they release a complete discs-only version.

hachi Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 The final volume of LOGH light novel will release on November 19. Frankly I've only bought the first 2 novels in print. One reason I haven't continued is I haven't finished the 2nd novel yet, and I can't find it when I want to read it! I put it somewhere not readily accessible or visible to me. So if I finally buy the rest it'll probably be as ebooks on Kindle, so I won't forget where it is and I won't also have space problems. The 2nd reason is that it isn't as exciting as watching watching the original anime. I actually am more excited for the Crest of the Stars light novels. I've seen the anime, and I've also read the online translations before. I don't know why, but it reads better and I don't seem to tire of it (except for the Abh language parts). The first 2 volumes are out, will buy the 2nd one on Kindle soon. Quote
Marzan Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Yeah, this is one of the very few cases were the adaptation might surpass the source material. Artland and our good ole Noboru Ishiguro did a spectacular job with the LOGH OVA. They simply nailed it. And using a classical musical score just added a bucketload of oomph to the series. Everything is better with Mahler in the background. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed reading the novels too. Quote
