Sidebar

Could someone remind me how to edit the sidebar? I've forgotten. Canary 22:26, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

You can edit the sidebar via Special:AdminLinks. Glacierfairy 00:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Novel news

Just edited the front page a bit, but thought I should "source" the info. I contacted the publisher directly and was told that they expected to be able to release the first LoGH novel this autumn. Huzzah!Canary 18:38, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Awesome. Vympel 11:31, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

And Amazon has the first book listed! Yay!Canary 21:07, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Some more news: the books will be paperbacks measuring 5.25" by 8"; they will also be available digitally in Amazon Kindle format, the pre-order for which should go up sometime in February.Canary 11:40, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Volumes 4 through 6 confirmed by publisher Zepwich 13:11, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up! Glacierfairy 16:12, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Current events

I'm thinking... Should we rename this section to "Important events" or something given how infrequently it's updated? Then we could also add future events to it--likedates for the new anime adaptation, etc. Canary 06:29, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Okay, well, I'm going to change it for now (because I think today's event is at least of peripheral relevance). We can always change things back later, after all. Also: I didn't change the "h2 id" because I have no idea what that is. Also: I kind of want to make page(s) for the other Tanaka series, but it's not really something we need.

Shoulder badges

Did anybody try to analyze the shoulder badges used in the FPA fleet?

What do you mean by analyze? The patches are listed https://gineipaedia.com/wiki/Free_Planets_Star_Fleet#Licensed_sources Iracundus 12:42, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Yeah those. Probably I should try colorize them or something. But I guess it would be difficult to find all of them in the anime. BTW, the Iserlohn patch spells "Iselrone". Hellerick 15:01, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

All those patches do I think appear, even if briefly in the anime. The patch is indeed misspelled. It is one of those internal spell checking errors in the series. Iracundus 04:46, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Premiere

Anyone got any idea how us non-Japanese plebs could watch the new series? How long do we think we'll have to wait for fansubs? Vympel 00:08, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Depends if any group is waiting to do it as soon as it airs. Incidentally new info and character designs available https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-03-01/legend-of-the-galactic-heroes-tv-anime-adds-6-cast-members/.128453 Those Alliance uniforms just don't do it for me. The Imperial uniforms are alright, albeit uninspired. The character designs though are meh, and that's being generous IMO. Iracundus 15:28, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

The uniforms are alright but I don't liked the face and hair design of the characters. —Goldenbaum Loyalist 18:45, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

The official site has Frederica Greenhill now. The face and hair design look like generic pretty girl. We also get to see the emblems for both sides. Iracundus 13:34, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

I guess I can tolerate the new character designs, but I find the Alliance uniform design to be too garish for my taste. The same goes for its emblem (the Imperial one is also not much better). Glacierfairy 03:55, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Can I get a link to Greenhill's design and the new emblems? Impossible to find for me. Vympel 01:30, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Here is the link. Just scroll down the page and you will see it. Glacierfairy 02:26, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Cheers! Yeah, not a fan of her design. Vympel 13:48, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2018-03-22/new-legend-of-the-galactic-heroes-anime-posts-visual-screenshots-episode-1-intro/.129332 Looks like that may be Hyperion. Really not liking the Alliance ship designs which seem to be just random lumpish blocks. Iracundus 11:25, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Its like they want to have their cake and eat it too. It's not a remake of the OVA, but the Brünhild is clearly inspired by the OVA original, and so is the Hyperion (same color). Vympel 05:53, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

The 2nd PV is out. Looks like they have decided to retain the Empire using German and the Alliance using English. It is really hard to differentiate the Alliance rank insignia though. Glacierfairy 08:37, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

That actually looks pretty good to me. The ships look great, and they even remade the shot where the Alliance battleship fires through its own ally. Vympel 09:57, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

The Alliance insignia seems to be a combination of sleeve and collar. For example, the branch of the military seems to be denoted by the collar symbol, with the command staff apparently having different length of laurels on their collar, while the fleet command is denoted by the inverted red chevrons (in place of the OVA orange kerchief). We see also that the Imperial fighters retain the 180 degree rotatable thrusters. I just hope they retain the focus showing the strategy and formations instead of just showing random action shots and random ships in a confused brawl. Right now the hardest thing for me is trying to differentiate the different classes of ships. Iracundus 11:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

The opening sequence and song is out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5fk80I3orw The lyrics are pretty gibberish though. We can see some more characters and also a few more ships such as Triglav and Barbarossa. The ending sequence and song is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li4OJEKoA8o Iracundus 08:56, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
