Mittermeyer - Ono Daisuke
Schenkopp - Miki Shinichirou
Reuenthal - Nakamura Yuuichi
Oberstein - Suwabe Junichi
Julian - Kaji "fuccboi" Yuki
Cazellnu - Kawashima Tokuyoshi

What else can I say? LoGH 2017+1 is going to be a memorable parody of the original one. I literally can't wait.

- all of these are well known voice actors yet the staff choose not to cast Norio Wakamoto or any original voices that is still available
- Julian will be more annoying than he already is and started screaming like a sissy.
- and those character design thou.

I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Couldn't even recognize Cazellnu lol. I also thought Oberstein was Reuenthal based on his character design. Julian looks basically the same age as everyone else in the new art style. Can't say much for voice actors, but it will be difficult to live up to the OVA who had some of the greatest talents of the time in terms of vas (and just in general). I'm still cautiously optimistic about the show, and I'm hoping it can recapture some of the storytelling prowess of both the novels and the previous adaptation. If it does that then I will be satisfied. Will it do that? Well, we just have to wait and see I guess. April 3!

Mixed feelings about the cast, I like these actors in general but i'm not sure how they'll fit with the characters in question. And while the character designs aren't half bad by modern anime standards (which are pretty low), they're a huuuuuge downgrade from the original ones.

Lmao.

Come on.. what's so bad about them? i mean, sure.. they aren't as good as the old designs, but the 80s OVA has established a high standard. i'm not surprised the new designs don't compare and feel like a downgrade. although, on their own and without comparing them to the old OVA, they're pretty much okay.

The original designs from the original anime looks ugly as shit tbh, not to mention that the series suffered from pacing which is a big ass turnoff for me. It's one of the worst pacing establishments in any anime... like, ever for me.

With that taken out of the way the choice and additional designs don't look that bad to be fairly honest. Hopefully the remake can be actually fix the mass issues I had with the original.

Well, I mean of course the character designs in the original were not that great as the series was being produced on a relatively low budget during an economic depression, but at least those designs fit the characters and were distinct from many anime of the day. These are just the same designs we see everywhere nowadays, not distinct at all. Even worse, some of the characters like Yang should not have these designs, as it does not represent the thirty-year-old aloof peace loving admiral at all. I also don't think the pacing of the original is bad. Every episode served a narrative purpose, whether to flesh out the characters or to describe history to us in a clever documentary fashion or to show the brutality of war and its effects on the citizens. It truly is astounding to see all of this explored organically in a show, and it would not be the case if the series was faster paced. There are points where the series would benefit from being faster, however, the majority of the time the slow pacing made the show better than it would be with quick pacing. It really isn't an issue. If it affected your enjoyment in any way, then I suppose that is one thing but it is not really an issue as far as I can see.

Alright, I've grown to accept Yang's design. But these new designs are awful. There is no way Julian looks like that. He looks like a blonde Kuroko.

I would show (and did in the past) the old designs and the whole OVA to my friends who dont watch anime and some even got interested.

I wouldnt show these new designs to them. The new series seems strictly targeted at anime fans while the old has broader appeal and looks more serious. In my opinion.

For most of them I liked the old faces more. Really looks a bit like some bishounen anime. Even a guy with glasses. Cazellnu or Cazerne (the new official name according to the website) ... did he even have glasses in the old version? I don't think so. At least not in old screenshots I found.

But the clothes and stuff are cool. Looks better in the new version.

I wanna see Trunicht and Rubinsky ha ha.

They changed them when Reinhard and Yang were announced, then quickly reversed to the old ones.

Yeah I know, but from my understanding it was intended as a jest since there was a thread making fun of this possibility created shortly before the actual change. Still removed Yang from my favs for a few days due to that.
Now if they were to permanently changee them, well that's another story...

I don't think the show need those kinds of fans. weeaboos who watch anime for the sake of good looking characters, whether they're cute moe girls or bishounens, wouldn't typically be interested in heavy shows like LOGH.

Plus, i don't think having good looking characters would make them interested in a show without some fanservice. which is probably not gonna happen in the anime.

No, you don't get my point lol

A lot of girls I know wouldn't watch something with non-bishounens. They can appreciate a good story but they need the visuals to appeal to them first before they can immerse themselves in the story. I'm glad that this show will have that first thing to get more people interested at least. I could care less for the toxic fans who just watch something to ship two girls/guys but I'm referring to people who actually appreciate the story and characters.

Well, that's weird. i understand people who appreciate both visually attractive characters and content, but refusing to watch a show unless there's some eye candy is completely alien to me. if i wanted an eye candy i would go watch attractive people in movies/TV series.

To each their own, i guess.

Nah, I have some IRL friends who don't like bad art (not bad, but average looking characters). They want the full package - good looking characters, good story, good voice actors, good music. They wouldn't be interested if the characters looked plain or average. I, myself, don't really care though. It's definitely a bonus to have eye candy AND a great story.

Has anyone managed to identify all the chars shown in the ending?
I guess it will be hard. Since from Cazerne (Cazellnu) we know they tried a totally different look/design and might do that for other chars as well.

That one empire guy looking to the right with the hairs tied up ... almost seems like he could be Ovlesser even though Ovlesser had a totally different hair color in the old OVA.

Also I don't know which one is Bucock in the ending. I guess the other one might be Fischer. I don't even remember all the chars ... checked the Gineipaedia to see what chars appeared in the old OVA and those have grey/white hair.

After episode 2 I'm pretty sure that guy is Ovlesser. We could see him at the end in the palace when Reinhard got promoted. And we saw the same scar on the other side of his face.

Also I can try to compare the face of Fisher from the episode. And we saw a blonde guy behind Merkatz - which has to be Schneider. (Old version his hair color was different.)
