Title. Just looking for that. I don't mind anything else, they can do the most ridiculous fighting shonen bullshit with the inability to not escalate, just with real ideologies people would actually have

    Hi, I like space stuff too, have you seen Space Battleship Yamato 2199? Its a remake of a show from the 70's and its just wonderful, the first anime space opera to really hook me. I discovered it after being a little bit disappointed by the latest Expanse season and it made me enjoy it even more, the world building is really classy relying on indirect exposition, visual storytelling is ok and the soundtrack is just awesome, I love the battle theme in particular. I am near the end and was wondering if I should give LotGH another shot. I tried to watch it a couple of times but between the old animation and a slow start I moved on to other stuff. Or maybe its ok if I watch the remake, what do you think? I am looking for more sci fi besides everything that is well known.

      I have seen the Yamato remake. It's alright. LoGH is slow but it gets going, don't worry. The animation in LoGH is beautiful so I don't know what to recommend there lol. It's incredibly intricate and the newer Blu-ray release is so clear that hand drawn details like cross hatching are visible. I like that kind of thing. The newer LoGH adaptation is alright, but it's like any other space show from now. The 80s OVA is and will always be on another level of production values for me.

        Thank you for setting me straight on LoGH, I now carry a little bit of guilt because of my comment on the animation (I watched it on youtube, hangover). I'll try to get the newer Blu-ray release, sounds really good.
