@@TCBYEAHCUZ I hate this cringe medium tho, LOTGH and monster are the only quality shows in this medium ,rest all are cringe and genric including aot and Ghibli movies,if u think otherwise that means u r a moron.
@@tattititan6897 you might as well think only movies such as clockwork orange are worth right? lmfao, I like the ones you listed as much as I like other anime too, the medium itself is on a quality downfall but there are way too many already entertaining and good animes out there besides those two
Beria? i see the similarities but Beria was a horrible man both personally and politically I see lang as just another incarnation of the state political police himself a decent guy who does horrible things
@@shadymerchant1198 I mean Lang literally just decides that he is going to help eliminate Reuenthal because he insulted him. It doesn't get more personal than that. Maybe one could argue that he was a decent guy if he wasn't so vindictive. It is hard to pick the biggest bastard of the LOGH but Lang seams to be it the top league right there with Trunicht, De Vile, Falk and perhaps some other that I left out. In fact Falk seams to be his FPA analogy. They both participated in killing of innocent people for personal reasons so in my opinion they are both equally bad people.
It should be grade school educational core material. That aside and its thematic brilliance in depiction of humanity and all its glamour and imperfection, the classical ost is remarkable. The classical music choreography is nearly the most incredible aspect of this masterpiece in that it humanizes the characters by utilizing some of, if not the most exquisite beautiful compositions of all time, particularly the choreography and use of the Dvorak Symphonies; it's utterly breathtaking. Just my 2 cents.
I'm sure you just have it in the script to contrast against Yang Wen-li, but still, calling Reinhard a "noble-born brat" is hardly accurate at all. Sure, he was born a noble, but only by name, his family being all but destitute forcing his drunkard father to sell his daughter to the emperor. And he was surely not a brat. Prideful and arrogant, obviously, but not because he was spoiled and had an easy upbringing, but because he had an unmatched ambition and skill. Great video, always love seeing people making stuff about LOGH, though it's hardly a forgotten or even underappreciated series, it sure deserves more discussion in modern reviews.
Even nobles without wealth and power are still far more privileged that the common peasant they have rights and advantages Reinhard got to go to the imperial officer academy something that was not available to the common worker even Mittermeyer was born to non noble but relatively well off family Reinhard's father wasn't destitute at least by empire standards he owned a nice home in a good neighborhood no palatial estate but pretty good he was forced to sell his daughter because the emperor wanted her he had no choice in the matter he thought he might as well take the money Reinhard was a brat you don't have to have an easy up bringing to be a brat which is defined as " A child, Particularly a badly behaved one." Reinhard was a willful and impulsive person who refused to obey he was justified often enough but a brat he still was LOGH is doing well though while not as popular as the mass media like AoT or similar shows its enjoying really good sales and views but it can always be talked about more
@@shadymerchant1198 his family was rather destitute though since his father was an alcoholic. though i'm not sure how poor they were since i'm new to this series, i've only read it on the wiki
Damn, good video. Legend of Galactic Heroes is under-rated and handles politics better than some contemporary art. I will say that it still manages to be fun and interesting, especially if one has an eye for history.
@@tcc5750 Admiral Yi doesn't have the playfulness though, and Yi had earlier campaigns against Jurchens so Chen's late blooming career fits better. Perhaps he's closer to Tanaka's originally draft where Yang's prototype was a more serious, seasoned veteran.

Hola amigos quisiera saber si alguno de ustedes sabe donde puedo ver o descargar la serie anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Side Stories 1998 de 52 capítulos en sub. Español. Estoy que la busco y no la encuentro por favor me ayuda. Gracias.
12:19 and 2,5 years later yeah it's been an ongoing dystopia of Dark times ... That will keep at least until the end of 2024 , that hopefully some Reinhard will come to make things Great again ....
you know what's the best part? Friedrich the Great is gay. Guess who have that one very close "boy"friend that he went to full throttle depression after his death?
I'm just a Yang Wen-li profile pic coming here to balance out the Reinhards
It's still not balanced
OK
@@tattititan6897 I'm not really an anime fan but
1. Logh
2. Attack on Titan
3. Studio Ghibli stuff
that's mostly it

Simply the GREATEST piece of FICTION of all times 👏👌
One of the best pieces of fiction ever. Watching it feels more like watching history itself unfold.

This video was impressive, and thank you for taking the time to make it. Yoshiki Tanaka really knew his history.
More video essays pls! I loved this so much

I watched almost all video essays on r/videoessay and even if this video was posted today, this is one of the best video essays inspired by anime.
One of the all time greats! Definitely worth seeking out.
That was such a good video mate!!

Yo that 2020 narrator joke actually aging kinda well with WW3 in sights
Isn't Yang a reference to Chen Qingzhi 陳慶之? A char from Tanaka's other historical novel who also win battles against impossible odds.
I assumed he was based on Admiral Yi Sun-Sin. The man who never lost a battle and constantly had a corrupt government getting in his way, constantly.

I was a first subscriber for that Sentai super-collection, paid a fortune, and regret nothing!
Wanted to say - history doesn't repeat, we simply think it does because we continuously examine history with modern perspective.

"Classical Tension" by Neil Cross

That will keep at least until the end of 2024 , that hopefully some Reinhard will come to make things Great again ....
Maybe, maybe a yang wenli too.
4:19 Sur can assume him as that , But why he was elected to power ?
How bad was society at that point ?

Yi Sun sin is boss. Yang Wenli is Boss.
you know what's the best part? Friedrich the Great is gay. Guess who have that one very close "boy"friend that he went to full throttle depression after his death?
Gays try not to project challenge (impossible)
complaining about the lack of western releases is moot as everyone in the west watched this as a fansub
