Koustubh said: So, I am interested in knowing your thoughts about this season, and also what do you think will be the final rating? Too early to tell. Thus far it has been one amazing adaptation of the material -besides some small complications of repeating some info from the first episode in the second with Yang's perspective- since it wasn't quite a double lenght episode covering both sides at the same time in a less convoluted way than the OVAs ("Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Overture to a New War" still is the better version for this fight alone). Other than that, it seems like we are going to have some cuts in a side story that was adapted early in the old series, some more small bits of info that weren't covered as well, and most likely some reordering of scenes, since the OVAs had some things happened either before or after what they should (sometimes waaay after). Some of those adjustments made the original superior in terms of expanding parts of the content of the books though. I'm hoping they leave some of the significant ones in, not always an adaptation with "filler" is necessarily worse than the original, and this is one of the cases were they made it even better with the OVAs at some points. |

| Apparently, these 12 episodes will adapt the first novel, while the three movies next year get the second one. From what I've seen, the popular opinion is that those two books (and especially the first one), while great, can't compare to the remaining eight (or at least, that's the response the OVA adaptation generated). Taking that into account, and assuming that DNT Kaikou's quality doesn't take a dive later on, I'd expect its "final" score to reach 8.20~8.40, with the subsequent movies (& seasons?) receiving significantly higher scores, and not just because "those who didn't like Kaikou didn't watch the sequels". Personally, I see DNT as a better introduction into LoGH than the OVA so far; the OVA was aimed at existing fans of the novels, and thus worked with the assumption that viewers already knew the characters and what was going to happen (so it did things like showcasing many characters, even the not-yet-relevant ones, from the very first episode, or openly referencing future events and therefore spoiling them), while DNT appears to take its time to ease newbies into its world instead of immediately bombarding them with info. Should it continue this approach, I'd like to see its score be no less than 8.60~8.80, but that's probably wishful thinking... |
