Lollo36 said: Yea, not once while watching Code Geass, did I think it was an inherently smart show. I love it cause it's a blast to watch.LogH is about as smart as Code Geass, but since no one has actually watched it, LogH fans can pretend that they're superior by saying that they like such a deep and intellectual masterpiece. |
| All the fanboys who hype LoGH just discourage me from getting started on it. Whether it's good or not, I'll end up being more critical about it. |

| LoGH is pretty awful. Space nazis vs "democracy hurr durr" that use battleaxes over a thousand years into the future. The battle tactics are as has been said above comparable to Code Geass playground-level warfare. Plot armour is ridiculous, all enemy soldiers have worse aim than storm troopers when they're shooting at main characters anyone of any significance whatsoever. It's more black and white than Akame ga Kill when it comes to religion, holy fuck the Terraists are just awful. It also promotes the intake of dangerous substances like alcohol, disgusting. |

I highly doubt that you know anyone in real life who is a fanboy of LOGH, so people online shouldn't discourage you from watching a cartoon. Kokko said: Remv_quevav said: Space Nazis???

| Holy crap, Legend of the Galactic Heroes haters are obnoxious pricks. I don't see fans claiming to be smart, but there sure are a lot of people who try to belittle them. sullynathan said: Indeed. It's quantity over quality, and a lot of that quantity is just copied and randomly generated throughout the game.Zeta986 said: This is what i learned in MAL. Most of try-hard elitist in this forums were claiming it as the 2nd coming of Christ. If i should compare it to stones, LOGH is the equivalent to Philosopher Stone. If i should compare it to cars, LOGH is the equivalent to Lamborghini Veneno. If i should compare it to Dinosaurs, LOGH is the equivalent to T-Rex. If i should compare it to scientists, LOGH is the equivalent to Albert Einstein. If i should compare it to movies, LOGH is the equivalent to The Shawshank Redemption. If i should compare it to video games, LOGH is the equivalent to Skyrim Elder Scrolls. If i should compare it to books, LOGH is the equivalent to Lord of the Flies. If i should compare it to Warships, LOGH is the equivalent to Nimitz Class USA. If i should compare it to stars, LOGH is the equivalent to VY Canis Majoris. Skyrim isn't a good game. |

Combat in Elder Scrolls games in general should be redone from the ground up. It's just too annoying. Also, Bethsoft should focus less on caves and make the outside world more interesting and have more quests there. |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |

Aeonic said: PoeticJustice said: Yay, I get a mention as a cool person. It's not my birthday last time I checked. Anyway back to the topic at hand, they're many anime series that have intelligent themes. I just happen to be biased towards space opera shows and political thrillers. Legend of the Galactic Heroes fits my biased criteria, it also a very well-written show with interesting topics relating to democracy, constitutionalism, the price of war to civilians, the corrupt nature of politics and the two men that embody two opposite perspectives on how people should be governed.I would like to preface this by saying that I do in fact enjoy the show. I noticed that a group of people think that watching and enjoying LOGH makes them "elite," or whatever. There are exceptions with people like Higashi, aeonic, gholy, and Yeezus, who are cool people. But generally, I noticed that LOGH has a fanbase full of people who think they are the arbiters of good taste. Has anyone else on MAL noticed this phenomenon? Why do people think that enjoying this show in particular makes them more intelligent than say....someone who enjoys Naruto or Sword Art Online? You can say all the pretty words you like but the fact is LoGH is basically a Reinhard x Kircheis semi yaoi for the first part, Reinhard x Yang hardcore yaoi for the middle part, and Oberstein x dog for the final part. See, nothing intelligent at all here. |

Admittedly that club might be part of why LOGH gathered a negative reputation in 2011. It's been inactive for the last 3-4 years though. Inferno_Cop said: Aria-da-Capo said: Ironically he is the admin of the 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes Elitist' club though. Ironically he is the smartest user here after Katsucats and _nil. I feel flattered but I don't think I'm particularly intelligent, I'm just less stupid and more active than the average MAL user which isn't that hard to be honest. |

| I don't think anyone thinks they are smart for watching LOTGH, I think they just think the anime you like is moronic, shallow or inferior in some regard and either because you are overly attached to the anime series you like or are perhaps rather insecure, you have taken their comments as a criticism of you as an individual and it upsets you. Perhaps you even think that LOTGH really is too smart for you and you are accusing its fans of being snobs as some kind of coping technique for your low self worth. Maybe that is the problem? |
| Losing an Argument online? Simply post a webpage full of links, and refuse to continue until your opponents have read every last one of them! WORKS EVERY TIME! "I was debating with someone who believed in climate change, when he linked me to a graph showing evidence to that effect. So I sent him a 10k word essay on the origins of Conservatism, and escaped with my dignity intact." "THANK YOU VERBOSE WEBPAGES OF QUESTIONABLE RELEVANCE!" |
| The real problem with LotGH is that it's simply one of those series that are easy to namedrop due to its popularity and has suffered because of this, in the same (well, opposite in LotGH's case...) way as "Shitcom", "Boku no Pico" and "Mars of Destruction", along with their debatable "quality" have been so ridiculously blown out of proportion... |
| i like the flash cw more |
| You don't magically become an intelligent, respectable gentleman of refined taste by watching LoGH, but if you already are an intelligent, respectable gentleman of refined taste, you will enjoy watching LoGH. Plebes that can only derive enjoyment form the most base and simplistic things however, lack the finesse and intellectual capacity to fathom the greatness of this magnificent work, and thus they respond like all lowly creatures do, with spite and envy for their betters. Truly, they are to be pitied. |

Why do people think that enjoying this show in particular makes them more intelligent than say....someone who enjoys Naruto or Sword Art Online? It's the difference between reading a light novel and reading a novel. LOGH is a good series, with its own flaws. Drama, Sci-Fi, Space, Military R - 17+ (violence & profanity) SAO started off as a good action series that devolved over time. Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Game, Romance, Shounen PG-13 - Teens 13 or older The differences were clear: LOGH being a political space drama, while SAO had action. Ironically, LOGH had a better romance than SAO. LOGH had a greater world building environment, and was also longer running; while SAO relied more on shock effect and climaxes of action. Ultimately, LOGH was a better anime than SAO, but that's not to say that portions of SAO would be more appealing than LOGH. (Battles were typically more exciting in SAO) They were both marketed to different audiences, and general people tend to look down on action-central series, rather than political intrigue and galactic conflicts. But I must say, SAO gave us great parodies: So to answer the question: LOGH is more intellectual than SAO, and people ascribe people liking a series to their personal traits, leading to the current ideology. I havent watched LOGH but SAO fights are shit. In season 2 the sword fights basically devolved to colorful slash marks. Id get a bigger bang watching power rangers. |

Where the fuck did Monday go? |
| That's just people being arrogant. Unless they're trolling. I am not sure what the definition of "smart" is anymore. I recently completed LOGH myself. I think it's more stimulating than most other series in a sense that there is a lot of philosophy, questioning and contradictions. Not of any high standard but quite high in terms of anime. And it does get you into that intellectual 'mood'. Maybe people should say that they get inspired by some quotes rather than saying that they are smarter. |

| Never seen it and I have a tested IQ of 140. Well, it probably doesn't. It sounds like a good show, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it makes people smart. Dam elitists. Since when does watching tv add to your IQ points? (haha) |
 |
| I agree OP, people who watch LoGH should rate it poorly and never recommend it, because if they did otherwise they are clearly trying to look smart and superior. On a non-sarcastic note, just watch what you enjoy. There are always going to be people insulting you, and if it's because they think you're a try-hard for liking a certain anime, what does it really matter? |
