It's long, expansive, heavy and exposition-driven, without much easy crowd-pleasing instant-gratification. It definitely requires more intelligence then an ADHD addled baby who enjoys Naruto or SAO can deliver (not saying SAO and Naruto fans are ADHD babies)

Having patience with an anime series doesn't really equate to being intelligent in any way whatsoever.

Read the bracketed statement. I'm not even saying LOTGH is good. I'm only saying that it doesn't aim for flash over substance. That on it's own isn't praise. I can say the same thing in that post about Ergo Proxy or .hack//SIGN, two "deep" shows I don't even like

It doesn't require intelligence to stick with a series and let the exposition be monologued or narrated to you. Just patience.

Never understood it either. Fortunately, I haven't butted heads or met any of those folks on Mal, at least, I don't think I have. Space opera isn't exactly my favorite genre, tbh, but I give credit to Logh for its good characters, entertainment value, and political intrigue. But there's absolutely nothing 3deep5me about it, so any pseudo-intellectual arrogance emanating from its fanbase is laughable.

It's different. Most fanbases know that it's about personal preferences but LotGH fans go out of their way to shove their perceived superiority in your face.

I don't think LOGH required more intelligence than SAO at all. LOGH even spells out everything you need to know right in your face and even allows the narrator to retell you things characters have said.

LoGH, in truth, is a good ol' space opera, with some fantastic world building and yada yada.
And that's the key word, it's a good show, considering all its flaws and all.
And even if you are blind to all the meh parts, I still don't get why people consider it a 'deep' or 'intelligent' show, considering the narrator fuckin spoon feeds you every time, and thus obliterating any attempts of using your intellect in the first place.

In short, Good =/= intelligent.

LOTGH is definitely more intelligent then SAO. Not saying much because a lobotomized monkey is also smarter then SAO

Also the narrator explaining things doesn't really take away much. He's just there so details aren't needlessly obscured

LoGH isn't really that complex from a narrative point of view to muddle up the watchers with the details. All ya need is a bit of patience.
It's large scaled with its world building and character expositions, sure. But without the narrator's constant babbling, the show would have been more fun and probably a bit more intelligent than it is.

The true Logh fan can acknowledge and accept its potential shortcomings, encourage others to give it a fair shake but doesn't put it on a pedestal, chuckles at Rheinhard-sama x Kircheis references, usually can't stand ThatAnimeSnob, and doesn't give two shits whether their coffee is Fair Trade Single Origin Arabica, AeroPressed Semi-Levado...or not.

The narrator tells the viewer details he could have figured out himself. He should have used his time explaining their futuristic technology or why it doesn't feel futuristic at all. Maybe I would have liked him more then.

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.
