Which one is the superior kino?
This one
I was wanting to read the manga of this but it isn't translated. Does the show adapt everything from the manga? It's apparently episodic so even if it doesn't adapt everything, about how much does it cover?
sorry I never read the manga so I couldn't tell
they're both good. masterpieces, even. please don't start this shit.
It is just an excuse to talk about them. We patricians need to get together.
Never watched LotGH. I love Versailles no Bara a lot though.
Why not? There seems to be some overlapping in themes and target audience.
>kino
great anime (yet I prefer LoGH)
and shity fanbases, like this pretentious incel:
Is there? I love Rose of Versailles too, but I always avoided LoGH since it doesn't look like something I would remotely ejoy.
It probably depends on why you like Versailles no Bara. They do share some stuff, but they also are different in some important ways.
I've seen 81 episodes of LoGH so far, and I can say that it probably isn't overrated though. Obviously that doesn't mean you'll like it, but it is good.
For me it's just that sci-fi stories set in space can get boring soon. I have the episodes on my desktop but I've never had the courage to start, it's a long journey.
Started a week ago and it's kino bro, just do it. I dislike star wars and star trek but logh is great so far
I love the really earnest melodrama.
All LoGH fans seem to ramble about is how deep it is with its morality, how well the political intrigue and military stuff is handled, and stuff like that.
Strikes me like it's the kind of show that make autist cream their pants because 'it's so smart dude'.
I don't care for intellectual satisfaction while watching an anime. For me emotional resonancy trumps all, and RoV excels at that due to its sincerity.
RoV is better. LOGH's exploration of political themes is on par with RoV, but LOGH's characters are extremely dry and boring with a handful of exceptions like Yang and Reinhard. I'd go so far as to say that Reinhard and Kircheis's friendship is a worse executed version of Oscar and Andre's relationship. RoV has good character drama AND good political themes, whereas LOGH only has the latter.
RoV also has the benefit of Dezaki's direction, which is more aesthetic than the really flat presentation of LOGH.
Both are among the few anime which I'd say are objectively GOATs though.
I don't watch LoGH for any intellectual shenanigans. I don't need some silly anime to tell me that dictatorships are better for the short-term but democracies are better for the long-term.
For me, LoGH is about the human interactions. Soldiers become comrades, comrades become friends, friends become family. Some of them die, but the survivors put on a brave face to continue fighting on in their memory. The dead would be proud of the living, and it makes the viewer's heart swell with pride too.
There definitely is. I started watching LOGH a few months ago and immediately noticed how similar they are. At least in the beginning LOGH is heavy on court politics in the empire + the relationship between Reinhard/Kircheis which reminded A LOT of Oscar and Andre.
I would definitely recommend it if you liked ROV, I was pissed I hadn't watched it sooner because of how much it resembled it, to be honest.
I never really got that feeling from LOGH. I found it hard to be invested in a lot of the characters because so many of them are just mouthpieces for political views or are otherwise just cardboard cutouts. The kind of emotions you described is exactly what I felt watching RoV, but not when watching LOGH.
ROV to me just seems so unapologetically human.
LotGH isn’t really sci-fi as much as futuristic political fiction, it’s nothing like other shows.
It helps that I'm an FPAfag, so I get everyone coming together to be surrogate parents for Julian, the quiet desperation of Frederica being more in love with Yang than he is with her, the affectionate bullying for chuuni virgin Dusty, Poplin's many friendly rivalries, Schenkopp being larger than life, Bucock taking Breadman under his wing, and the tsundere melodrama of Katerose. The only regular characters who are embarrassingly underdeveloped are Murai, Patorichev and Mashengo.
FPAfags watch it for the poignant tragedy and human drama, Empirefags watch it to brofist their fellow dudebros about the top dawg coming out on top yet again.
It wouldn't be strange to label it as a documentary.
LoTGH suffered a lot from being a 100 chapters show. It should have been shorter, many chapters didn't add much to the show except for the usual and obvious commentary on how everybody is expected to act, in a way similar to what you can see in DB Z.
All those things felt a bit understated to me. Reinhard had the most compelling arc of all the characters due to him being such a flawed and troubled figure.
As I said, Reinhard and Yang steal the show so much that all the characters are footnotes in comparison. Still, I'll say that Trundheit and Rubinsky remind me of RoV villains in the sense that you love to hate them.
Well, it is the point of the show.
Renihard and Yang were men whose actions made a contribution to history, thus we call them HEROES
Reinhard is the villain though.
Still considered a Heroe by the show's definition
This is mutt tier "logic".
ROV was a garbage shoujoshit mostly and nobody would give a shit about it if it aired nowdays
logh was great from the start to the end
i'd go with ROV because oscar is much better mc than that blondie faggot
