The beginner's guide to Legend of the Galactic Heroes

[kajornwan]

This post is in order because until my entire f-list starts watching this best anime ever made I find it my responsibility to keep the world informed. So if you have been brainwashed by my marketing attempt and are interested to watch now or some time later, here is the guide which you will need (that I wished I had when I started).

Oh mein Gott *kicher* *hackenknall* *prosit* *hicks*

Those phallic missiles! What is the MATTER with those guys?! Seems like some really temperamental group date.

Also, like something my son (13 yo) might love. What's the FSK?

need a beer now (jeeeeesus lol)

[kajornwan]

Omg Ze Germans! I am being attacked from all directions! You guys *cries*

1) I have absolutely no idea what you're saying LOL
2) The missiles, you mean flagships? .... Note to self:this is what you get when you try to market a space opera to yaoi audience *cries* No, you're not the first, damn you people. At least leave the Brunhilde and Barbarossa alone *cries some more*
3) As for your son, the only reason you want him to watch this is as punishment. May I suggest episode 40 in particular *runs* Good God, I've just found a new way to threaten my 11 year old, thanks to you - make her sit through LOGH fpr two hours XD
4) What does FSK mean?

Prosit!!! XD

It's good to see you though. *hugs*

Stop crying or I'll remind you that I'm French, and that as such I have an inherent privilege not to watch ANYTHING with a fucking KAISER in it!! Because History :P !

[delwynmarch]

Pfft, don't worry, it was just a joke :) If anything, I grew up in a very pro-German atmosphere - or rather an atmosphere very encouraging of French-German reconciliation and friendship, which made sense since it was during the rise of the European Union.

So really, my only problem with German is that I hate the way it sounds :D

[shandini]

xD I just jump in and do something for the German atmosphere.

I think we had this discussion already, hadn't we? French sounds like sex and German sounds more like.... GNAAAA! I WILL KILL YOU!! AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM SCREAMING! GNAAAAAAA! But I like this language. I mean we had sooooo many poets. And guys like Goethe and Schiller are known abroad too. O_O And if the Nibelungensage wouldn't sound so epic they wouldn't has choosed all these names for LOGH. xD

I guess you mean *hackenknall": it's military cliché, you know, banging ("knallen") together your heels ("Hacken")as a greeting. The Nazi's especially revelled in this.

"FSK": age rating for movies? I thought that was English lol!!!

"kicher" is "giggle", and "hicks" I think is self explaining *hiccup*

Your 11 yo daughter: those guys sure look cute!!! She'll love it, I'm sure. And my son would ADORE those space battle ships it is? (I'm not really so secure in this kind of stuff, though I should be! My son's VERY disappointed in me)

(Gotta go on with work now, what a drag, this is far more fun) hugz back

[kajornwan]

Ahhhh that makes sense! Thank you XDD

[kajornwan]

And there you go. The founder of LOGH club will drag you along to hell with us. PROSIT!!

[dragonchiclet]

Oooo I'm a goner already neeeeiiiiinnn *schmacht* *Ohnmacht*

"Weird German" oooh I looove that *_*

Good to know the French's weird too, because I couldn't tell, and my son, in his second year of learning French, is still real stupid (as far as I can tell)

Thank you so much - I can't wait to start!!! (Busily allotting time between 4 and 5 am)

Those phallic missiles! What is the MATTER with those guys?!

*blinks* They are GUYS :P ?

Seems like some really temperamental group date.

Not really, but there are quite a few pairs doing some metaphorical snogging here and there :P And of course, the "My Conquest is the Sea of Stars" movie is nothing but a giant Reinhard/Yang pre-slash setup :D

Also, like something my son (13 yo) might love.

Nope, unless he really likes history or politics :D But I'm of the opinion that EVERY kid - every single freaking one of them, all over the world - should be made to watch this anime non-stop from 6 years of age to 16, and discuss it in every possible way. We MIGHT finally get world peace once the first generation raised that way gets in power. Because they'll be too thoroughly inoculated against war and stupid manichean ideologies to repeat the idiotic antics of every human generation up till now =_=

[kajornwan]

"My Conquest is the Sea of Stars" movie is nothing but a giant Reinhard/Yang pre-slash setup :DI actually have a feeling Kircheis was suggesting a 3some when he was talking about Yang with Reinhard on that bench XDDD

[delwynmarch]

I actually have a feeling Kircheis was suggesting a 3some when he was talking about Yang with Reinhard on that bench XDDD

Which in retrospect makes me LMAO, because I absolutely see Yang as either asexual or simply too lazy to bother with sex :D So him participating in a threesome? Pfft, never gonna happen unless the other two guys are doing all the work while he lies on his back, stares at the ceiling, and philosophies about something or other. (And then Kircheis looks up from where he's blowing Yang, smiles at him with those huge innocent eyes and dazzling smile, and comments softly on whatever philosophical shit Yang just said, before going back to licking his cock. And they go on like that all through the whole thing, including Reinhard curtly but politely disagreeing with Yang as he puts Yang's feet on his - Reinhard's - shoulders and unceremoniously starts plowing his ass... BY THE NAME OF ODIN, WHAT IS THIS ANIME DOING TO MY BRAIN D: !???! )

It tells you no matter how much he loves Annerose, he is never going to go *there*

[dragonchiclet]

Wonderful!!!

Can I print out this whole delicious discussion for under my pillow???

[dragonchiclet]

This sounds REALLY dangerous for me. Major addiction factor ...wickedly beckoning in the grey every day haze @_@

Noooooo!!!! I'm JUST fairly clean right now *eyes beginning to gleam* *compulsive swallowing setting in* nooooooooo
