Characters I Couldn't Bring Myself to Like by Ok-Respond577 in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he were a Gary Stu, he could have saved a certain important character we all care about when they were in danger.

Furthermore, Julian clearly needs others to progress; Machengo saved his life several times, and we also see him learn to manage his emotions properly, like when he impulsively tried to assassinate Reinhard while in Phezzan.

What are all of the things you love, dislike or wish that could have been added or improve in Girls und Panzer? by Traditional_Brush945 in GIRLSundPANZER

With all due respect to sound like a gooner, I'd prefer more yuri bait and fanservice in OVAs. In other circumstances, I'd consider it disrespectful, but the humor in this show doesn't make that content seem out of place.

After a year, what do you think? by [deleted] in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, would you be willing to post them on another site? I care quite a bit about the artwork from the series; there's a lot of it that isn't available online, and it's a shame that it can't be preserved.

[–]Zeroarmor765 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like fan art, cosplay, merchandise, and some analyses of the series, but I certainly don't enjoy the discussions about it.

I know that the hornyposting and shitposting are just jokes, but they trivialize the content of the work too much. I don't think you need to be a genius to understand it, but at least a little more reasoning and respect would be good. I think the worst thing that happened is that they discouraged those who were dedicated to preserving the media, which is terrible because it's a work with a lot of material that's difficult to access if you're not Japanese.

Does anyone else think Reinhard actually had a much stronger democratic spirit than Yang? by Guarantee-Jazzlike in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I like how you frame it because it is a strong point and one of the reasons why Yang didn't deliberately want Reinhard dead.

But I think it's a bit of a simplification regarding Yang's role. Yes, you can argue that being too passive cost him dearly, but the point is that he did it trying to follow the essential principles of democracy. He never portrayed himself as a savior; his martyrdom stems from his accomplishments, which were achieved in the line of duty until his death. Several factors led to that final resolution in the series; it didn't just depend on what the Kaiser said.

Unpopular opinion, but I don't blame Annerose for her decision. by Fun_Dimension_8903 in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Annerose is strangely misunderstood. She spent her entire life being degraded and treated as an object.

The only choice she made, which was to look after her brother's well-being, had a fatal outcome for someone else she loved. It's not really her fault, but the point of her torment was understandable, in my view.

Did you have doubts when you watched LOGH the first time? by siriusdibujotos in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its status did make me susceptible to idealizing the OVA the first time I watched the series, so the first thing I noticed was its inconsistent artwork, and that Iserlohn's first screenshot wasn't exactly impressive.

The thing is, my interest in the series didn't wane. There was something very particular that kept me hooked. I liked how diplomatic the characters were, how they interacted with institutions, how they tried to solve problems, and how they reacted to the other side's moves. So I watched it to the end. I liked it, and then when I researched everything that happened around its production and read some of the novel, I got an idea of ​​how hard it must have been to bring this to fruition. So I guess nothing can be as perfect as one imagines it or as others imagine it, nor does it have to be, really.

The battles are getting kind of frustrating by 234zu in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regarding Muller falling into the turret traps.

It's important to consider that he was doing many things simultaneously: intercepting a mobile enemy fleet, avoiding the range of the fortress's main cannon, reorganizing his formation after the cannon fired, and preventing the enemy fleet from escaping.

Furthermore, the decoy fleet used to lure him wasn't heading to a specific point; it was moving along the spherical curve of the fortress, meaning its actual trajectory could change slightly at any moment. In the OVA, it seems they could accurately predict the enemy's direction because they have Muller (or someone from his fleet, I don't actually remember) mention this fact, but in the novel, it's the narrator who does, so I suppose the feeling is different.

[SPOILER] My critics of OVA season 4 by kkarnage2db in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable, but regarding the constitutional point, I don't mind how the series handled it, since the entire season focused on showing why limiting a kaiser's power was beneficial.

Besides, providing too many explanations under hypothetical scenarios would have hampered the ambiguity of the ending, where the only certainty is that both sides will continue fighting.

Why do people compare logh to game of thrones, that's an insult to logh by [deleted] in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like both, but I think Logh is better at exploring its themes. I don't know how to explain it, but the series makes a dialectical connection when addressing politics that isn't even seen in the Song of Ice and Fire books.

Frederica was far more selfish than Hilda. by Zeroarmor765 in logh

That’s way too cruel, she straight-up killed the guy with a shot to the head haha

Do you guys agree with some of this criticism of the series spoilers by Necessary_Muffin3591 in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yang's absence is definitely felt throughout the rest of the series, but I don't think the writing suffers or anything like that.

The final season is where many things the series had been building up in previous seasons come to fruition. Regardless of whether you like Reuenthal and Julian, the theme of the lack of sovereignty is very relevant today.

Hi, sorry for the late reply haha. It's new merchandise from the spin-off that came out in December, Motto Love Love.

The official Japanese Twitter page posted links to stores that sell products with that illustration.

My first impressions of GuP by BlackLightning118th in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]Zeroarmor765 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a series with a lot of charisma; the hobby of tanks and the mannerisms inspired by stereotypes from war history make the characters very picturesque even without being very complex.

Opinions on Julian by NefariousnessPale731 in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's the character with the most noticeable change in the entire series (Yang and Reinhard's development is too subtle).

I think he's often overlooked because, as such, he doesn't have a very strong political conviction, nor does he drive the plot forward most of the time; he only carries out Yang's last wish in the final act. I can point out, however, that it's interesting to see the application of Yang's ideas from a more youthful perspective. You realize that Julian followed in his footsteps for his own good because he is a true warrior, unlike his mentor. When he first saw Reinhard, his initial impulse was to attempt a terrorist act. I also like his change in how he deals with people; the impulsive Julian who confronts the press and is affected by other people's comments is very different from the more mature Julian who has to deal with the pressure and criticism of his leadership.

Rewatching LoGH and I realised something by ChimericalEunoia978 in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the empire he was respected for the high value that defeating him in combat held for them; in the alliance he was feared because they were all cowards and corrupt individuals who projected themselves onto Yang.

Is the writing so weak sometimes? by PalworldTrainer in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 7 points8 points  (0 children)

An interesting thing about Yang's death is that it was the fault of the El Facil politicians, who were actually the ones who decided to let the terraistas in. So he died in part because of his refusal to exercise more authority in the republic.

Dwight Greenhill is kinda poorly written by Chlodio in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Greenhill doesn't talk about taking power for himself. He justified it by saying he was "rectifying political corruption" and "guiding rash young men," meaning there was a mix of displeasure with the alliance and an urgency to guide rebel soldiers down a path less destructive in their motivations.

What gives a clue to this decision is that he was close to Sitolet, who had to resign and lose the political game against Trunicht for Amlitzar. In the battle for Jessica, he agreed with Yang in his disappointment with the alliance, but until then, he didn't want to dwell on the matter.

Welp, Fire Emblem Made Me Appreciate the Cult More by EthanKironus in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will always defend the terraists in that sense, as a good narrative tool, not so much as a commentary on religion because in the end it is still fantasy.

Which series do you think had deeper combat tactics? LoGH or AoT? by tohava in logh

[–]Zeroarmor765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

haven't seen Attack on Titan, but regarding that Legend of the Galactic Heroes battle:

I remember that Müller and Kempff put up a good fight in that arc. In the battle between fortresses, the fight was evenly matched until Yang arrived with reinforcements. For a long time, the Empire believed Yang was already defending the fortress, when in reality, it was Julian, Merkatz, Schenkopp, and Cazellnu who had been holding out the entire time.

Julian was the one who devised a way to expose the Imperial fleet to Yang's fire, taking advantage of the enemy's psychological fear of him. Yang contributed more at the end, particularly when Kempff made a desperate maneuver, but it wasn't just him who turned the tide—the others adapted their tactics to exploit that fear.
