"Technically speaking, the anime is downright ugly, with few character design passing the "Average" grade. For a Sci Fi anime in particular, Ship design, effects and combat choreography are -literally- at level 0. Extrememely disapointing."
It has amongst the highest quality animation of its era you freaking troll. And they are nothing but boring.
"Ok, so maybe it is in fact more of a thriller-politico-Sci Fi type?
I do love 2001, BSG (the new one), P. K. Dick's books, so there should still be some goods for me there, no?
Not really, no."
It's not a space thriller you freaking troll. You were looking for snow in the desert.
"Where to start? Let's start with the most painful thing: dialogues.
Long. Boring. Chock full of cliches and pretentious self importance, dialogues in LotGH try to flesh out our characters (thank god they drop the flash backs after the first 40 or so episodes, I was literally ready to kill myself) and intrigues in lieu of action, but do very little, or rather do it in a very un-interesting way."
Its dialogues are amongst the best literature ever seen in anime. Which series can you claim have better dialogues than it? Very few you freaking troll.
"That is political intrigues on the level of a 10 year old, rather, that if you have ever been in a history class for more than a school year or ever been interested in TV politics you will find extrememely basic and childish in this Autocracy vs Democracy pretentious bable."
It is quite analytical you freaking troll. 10 year old level would be Naruto type of intrigue.
"By the time you arrive at episode 80 (about 2/3rd of the original show), you will have had a mere 2-3 space battles to speak of, most of the action consisting of a computer display depicting red triangles fighting green squares (fleet formations)."
2 battles??? Just triangles??? You freaking trol, it has 10 battles until then and they are hardly red triangles.
"It is hard for me to imagine how this poorly made show consisting at 90% of boring and very long dialogue scenes ever got so popular"
Because you are a freaking troll.
