My friend likes to draw based on other pictures so I asked her to make one about logh. Here is the result. I think she nailed it.

Why does the alliance people hate Trunicht for surrendering

Mittermeyer threatened indiscriminate assault towards the capital, and it wasn't like they knew that Yang Wenli was about to kill Reinhard

Similar Anime or Novel Series?

Does anyone have any recommendations of similar Anime or books? Since watching the 1988 series it’s become one of, if not my favourite anime but I can’t find much like it.

Closest I could find in terms of anime is the Gundam franchise (love it) but that’s about it and for Book series I’ve not found anything.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you think it is worth waiting for a complete collection of Logh: Die Neue These Dub?

I was thinking of maybe buying season 1 and 3 on Blu-ray while it is on sale but I'm not sure if I want to wait till the show is finished for hope of a complete box set that is dub.

Edit: I bought season 1 & 3 but will have to search around for 2 another day but thank you to all who replied.

The Different Westerland Incidents

One thing I thought was super interesting about the different logh versions was how they handled the Westerland Incident differently. In the novels, Reinhard makes the decision to let it happen, in the OVA he's tricked, and DNT follows the books. From what I know, the manga versions have their own takes, and I would like to know more, but unfortunately, logh is niche enough that information can be very hard to find. Anyway, if you guys could tell me a bit about how the manga versions did it I would be very appreciative. If you guys have any insight into the decision-making process from the studios/artists that would also be very neat.

De Villie warning in the last episode

!Good morning! In the last episode, the translation I had access to shows De Villie saying this before dying: "You're a foolish for killing me. We are not the only ones trying to destroy the Lohengramm Dynasty. If I were you, I'd point that gun at...". Then he dies. Is there any indication whatsoever of who he is implying to be plotting? Do you think he is just gloating, or scheming?!<

Analysis on Frederica's monologue about Yang

Im on episode 88. Yang is already dead, and the people from the Free Planet Alliance are trying to adjust to a life without him. In this episode, Frederica had a really long monologue about Yang and I'd like to share how that monologue, while it seems sweet on the surface, is actually just a testament to how Yang was always alone and always seen as just a tool and not for who he is.

At first I wanted to write an analysis about Yang's loneliness in general, but i realized it would be too long, maybe a couple thousand words, so when i encountered this monologue by Frederica, it felt like the perfect lens to briefly overview Yang's life and relationships. And mind you, im 100% overthinking things so take that into consideration while reading

Here is the entire monologue, but reading it is not necessary since I'll later highlight specific parts and analyze them in detail: “Your wife serves as the council leader of the revolutionary government, and your adopted son serves as the commander of the revolutionary force. And you yourself have become the guardian angel of republican democracy. Even after your death you had to take on the task of spirituality of saving us, to give legitimacy to our actions. You probably want to ask us, “you want me to work even after I die?” But if u had been alive, we wouldn’t have had to take on these responsibilities. Its your fault Yang Wenli. Its all your fault… That I joined the military. That iserhorn somehow became the last bastion of democracy. And that everyone stayed to pursue the dream of the festival. If u realize how much you’re to be blamed, just come back to life right now. Come back to life. Even if you go against the laws of nature, I’ll forgive u just this once. When that happens, I wont let you die again until I die. you used the fear the weight of your sins, for having killed so many people. You used to say that you couldn’t make up for it by just dying once. But I didn’t want you to make up for your sins. I wanted you to live on, even if u had to take on the lives of the dead. I wanted you to live long, as the pension thief… I certainly did not lose you, but im happier than if I hadnt met you at all. You might have killed millions of people, but at the very least, you made me happy.

"You used to fear the weight of your sins, for having killed so many people."
Here, she basically acknowledges that she was aware of yang's guilt over the countless lives that died under his command. but throughout their relationship, she never directly comforted or eased his guilt. While Yang did keep his feelings to himself. Frederica (arguably) should have challenged him to address his problems. I can think of one instance where Yang did express his guilt. In Episode 73, he expressed his guilt over Buckock's death. Frederica's response to his guilt was to basically shut down his feelings by framing his guilt as disrespectful to Buckock's memory. I mean, she did have good intentions, but this invalidated Yang's feelings and it made him bury his feelings rather than work through them.

This type of relationship is not only unique to Frederica. All his relationships are like that. Even tho Frederica genuinely loved him, she failed to help him confront the weight of his guilt. This failure shows that Yang was real lonely at heart, and he carried burdens that no one, not even his wife, could help him bear.

"you yourself have become the guardian angel of republican democracy. Even after your death you had to take on the task of spirituality of saving us, to give legitimacy to our actions."
She basically says Yang has responsibilities even after death. I mean... while she didnt mean it literally, but rather symbolically, it still shows something tragic: even in death, Yang is seen as a figure to uphoald ideals rather than as a person who deserves peace. This is how Yang was treated in his life, he was used as a tool due to his brilliance and his own desires were ignored.

Even in grief she focuses on Yang's value on the government and her own happiness, rather than him as a person. "If you had been alive, we wouldn’t have had to take on these responsibilities." Her grief is about how his absence has placed more burdens on her and others. She also says: "It's all your fault… That I joined the military. That Iserlohn somehow became the last bastion of democracy. And that everyone stayed there to pursue the dream of the festival. If u realize how much you’re to be blamed, just come back to life right now." She isnt actually mad at Yang in this passage. her tone is playful, and she views these things as a good thing. But even here, the focus is on Yang's role and what he represents, rather than him as a person.

I do agree that her love for Yang is genuine, but her monologue was really selfish. She wishes Yang was alive not for his own peace or happiness, but to spare herself and others the burdens left by his absence. and when she pleads for him to come back ("If u realize how much you’re to be blamed, just come back to life right now. Come back to life"), it feels more like a desire to avoid responsibilities rather than reunite with the man she loves. In her grief, she focuses on the difficulties his death creater rather than the happiness or peace he deserved. She also declared that he made her happy, but even here she talks about Yang in terms of what he provided her, rather than as an individual.

Once again, this doesn’t negate Frederica’s love for Yang but it does show how blind they are to Yang. People loved and admired him, but they often did so through the lens of what he could do for them rather than who he was as a person.

Yang… he was a man who gave everything to others, but was never allowed to live for himself. Ppl who loved him failed to fully see  or support the person behind the hero they idolize. His life was only isolation, self-sacrifice, and unfulfilled desires. Frederica’s grief is a relflection of this tragedy, not because she didn’t love him, but because her love, like all of the characters, was tied to what Yang represented rather than who he was.

LoGH Ship Books?

I'd like to make 3d print files for all these cool ships, but online resources are limited. What art book/books would be best to get? Any type of multi perspective flat on images would be best.

Open ended plot-lines in Die Neue These

I want to know two things . After the Enquiry ,when Yang Wen li was called away from Iserlohn ;did the council ever get disciplinary action for trying to sabotage his leadership at the Fortress v Fortress? Another thing when his academic scores were exposed ,he barely passed. Do you think Tanaka could have expanded more upon the training education arc in Die Neue These? Clearly tactical intelligence isn't all about being booksmart or putting the right answers

Wish Tanaka talked more about economics and elections

So obviously Tanaka does touch on this a good amount, and maybe this is the poli sci nerd in me, but I always wished he spent more time going into how the FPA government worked/its parties/elections etc. I also wished economic systems were discussed more in depth. He makes allusions to state socialism, welfare, free market capitalism, etc, but again I’d have loved more detail on it the markets in both the empire and the FPA. Honestly what I think I really want is a giant history textbook of the world with excruciating detail about everything.

Anyone else get what I mean?

Gaiden volume 4. Translation started (it was time, i guess)

https://jossokar.home.blog/heroes-en-la-galaxia-gaiden-el-proyecto/

Its just the first chapter (out of 9). I may be able to complete 1 chapter per week (until my schedule is less packed, basically)

The issue is that i dont have much time right now. Worst that can happen is that i do a marathonian session for the last week of december, i guess (wouldnt be the first time either)

So....that's it. Enjoy.

(If you see any weird text, feel free to tell me, please. I will correct it as quickly as i am able)
