Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby is that post-Pinkerton
Replying to Pyrrhic #swiss_army_cheese On the subject of Rudolf's ghost in Legend of the Galactic Heroes, from book 3 onwards they start making a separate list for dead major characters, and Rufolf is never listed amongst the dead ones. They start listing dead characters after they mention Rudolf.
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby I have just finished reading "From the New World" (Shinsekai Yori) An incredibly strange book, gosh. I don't remember who recommended it to me, but I've had the PDF sitting in my downloads for a while. It has an anime too which is more likely anyone would know it from I suppose.
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 I've been reading principles of underwater sound, very exciting I know
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby Anyway, I really appreciate standalone books. So many books nowadays are massive series, especially ones that aren't finished yet, and it's nice to have a book that just has an ending with nothing else to it.
Replying to legorhin #jazardly if an author has put in the effort to make a universe to put the story in, put another story in it
Replying to Pyrrhic #swiss_army_cheese 2 differences between the books and the OVA for LOTGH: in the books alliance troops use mirror shields to deflect lasers. Which is why Schonkopf always calls his ax a "Tomahawk" since that's a one-handed axe. The other difference for Legend of the Galactic Heroes is that since the liquid metal shell is OVA original, what you get instead of speeder-bike jousting on the liquid metal, when Walter von Schonkopf goes out for exercise in the Fortress vs Fortress episode, you get WW1-style Death Star trench warfare.
Replying to Pyrrhic #swiss_army_cheese You can complain about the bad translations or you can use it for headcanon fodder. Book 4 seems to imply that Erwin Josef is predisposed to marry Charlotte Phillis, admiral Alex Caselne's daughter. Since there are a lot of paragraphs that talk about Erwin Josef where Caselne's name shows up. (edited)
Replying to Pyrrhic #swiss_army_cheese I had been under the impression that if you didn't bring something up it was because you didn't find it interesting enough to mention it. Like, I thought it strange you didn't mention the lard kaiser, who was the worst kaiser since Rudolf. But figured that maybe it wasn't as interesting as Rudolf naming a unit of measurement after himself. I don't want to be the guy who constantly points stuff out from the books. Which is why I reference the manga and DNT. And the musical.
