- Hey it's Bass of the Otakutariat and the Anime Ramblin Boiz. Back again with another episode of Basic Impressions where I stream of consciousness my opinions on the media I come across.
We're changing it up and this time doing a classic 80s anime movie, the first from the Legend of the Galactic Heroes series, My Conquest is the Sea of Stars. Also I didn't want the ending to be as sour as it may come across. I'm doing fine during quarantine just expanding on thoughts!

Really this series is underappreciated, this is probably the best piece of fiction.
Yeah monster is behind
I’m here from the Logh subreddit and this video was dope. Never thought about the first film in this way before.
Thanks for the comment! Highly appreciate the feedback.
Otakutariat Holy crap I just realized you only got 81 subscribers. This video is way to good for a channel with so few subscribers. I’m gonna check out your other content.
I am here from subreddit as well.
This what remote war means. A war is going on but removed from most of the population so basically only soldiers and people in the conflict zone suffer it directly. This kind of war can go on for decades.
With the paradox of it being a kind of abstract concept for most of the population while simultaneously being perhaps the most visceral experience possible on the part of the troops.
@@otkanime5232 Hi there I am Central American here we suffered from remote warfare from the 60s to 80s when the USSR and the US duke out their "cold" war it was pretty hot in El Salvador and Nicaragua with lots of back stabbing in Honduras and Guatemala. While relatives in the US barely noticed what was happening.
Although Vietnam for the US is a better example since they never sent that many soldiers to C.A.
Yeah, thank you for sharing man. I’ve only ever studied what happened in Central America but it’s an entirely different experience to hear about it from the mouth of someone whose family directly experienced it. I’m Puerto Rican and we’re ignored and dismissed by the US too, though in admittedly different ways that haven’t been so war-driven. Anyways, thank you for your thoughtful comments on our video.
The same thing happens in Attack on Titan, but that's major spoilers so watch it first, then you'll understand.
Was a great watch. I definitely liked the analysis of the multifaceted meaning that silence can embody. I always feel that some people think that dynamics in movies/shows are always "let's get louder! More action scenes and blow it through the roof!" but often times the most impactful changes are when things go from fortissimo to pianissimo. There are beautiful changes in tone that can only be made with silence. Akin to a virtuoso playing a song with immaculate pausing and phrasing. Silence adds depth. It adds meaning while also being empty. Beautiful.
Bass: Thank you for the feedback!
Everything you mentioned added to that operatic nature I talked about in the video. Even though I knew it was all animated and drawn it really gave me the same feelings of seeing live actors on the stage. In fact I think it would translate extremely well if someone took this plot and made it a full on play.
This movie hooked me and made me watch the whole show. Story, music, spase, Bolero, CHARACTERS! Everything feels perfect! Thank you for the video, now I'm going to watch everything you have about LoGH.
I also came here from the LoGH subreddit, and I really enjoyed this video. It's good to see someone who is new to the franchise digging into it properly! I hope you do more videos on more of the series.
As someone who actually listens to romantic era music, I definitely do not ignore the music. Whenever a new track comes on I always pay attention to it.
This is one of the rare cases where the movie/tv adaptation is superior to the novel/s.
Or you could read the novel while listening to the score
Started reading the novels. I agree. But reading the novels while listening to the score is also a great idea!
As an animator, I can definitely say “invest in good sound design” the score elevates everything to infinity and beyond
Great video! It's interesting how you interpret Bolero, thinking of it as silent and calm until realizing at the end that it has been steadily rising in volume, intensity and complexity. I'm sure many viewers feel the same way if they haven't heard bolero before or listened to a lot of classical music. For me who already knew how bolero goes even the very first calm and quiet measure of the music created loads of tension in my first viewing, since I knew how the piece ends. It still does and it's one of the most brilliant uses of already existing music used in film I can think of. It's also worth noting that in the days Bolero was written people thought Ravel a bit crazy for making such a strange composition. It just repeats the same melody over and over, adding instruments and intensity linearly with a steady rhythmic beat, in its contemporary setting it was almost insane. In some ways for its time, it was "noise", I think Ravel didn't even call it music but more of an experiment iirc, which is kinda funny to note given your own view.
This is Tropical. I didn’t write this video, Base did. But this is just such a thoughtful comment and I wanted to let you know I appreciate it and so does he. ❤️
Great video! This is one of my favorite series of all time, so I love to see the keen analysis. It makes me want to make videos of my own about the series as well, so great work.
Not gonna lie, this is my Favorite anime. It was Steins;Gate but after the first 26 episodes this cemented itself in that position. At one point I had to limit myself to two episodes a day so I didn't get through it too fast.
That’s some impressive discipline, my friend!
Well you are Wilhem from Prussia and the galactic empire is practically based on Prussia
An amazing video my dude. Im definitely subscribing. As a longterm superfan of LoGH, having read the books and watched the OVA countless times, I have to say: Awesome!
Appreciate it my man! We’re lucky to have you around!
YOOOOO the VO in this one is so much more expressive compared to the other vids I've seen from you this is definitely the best video I seen so far on your Channel.
Hey Dek, thank you so much for commenting on a bunch of our stuff. We really appreciate it.
It helps us out a lot and we really appreciate your input. At least I do. This is Tropical. It’s helpful for me as I’m writing my next script.
Akira was amazing for it's time and comparing it to Logh animation seems just weird. This is a movie that also goes with another movie and 110 episodes. Also the fact that it is so political and such might have made funding harder to get.
Great video man, you really even put a some of my own thoughts in a more articulate way than I usually do.
Fantastic stuff
Hey man, thank you so much the comment. We appreciate having you around!
Conflicts going on for so long are not common, but they happen, England and France went at it for 100 odd years. The religious Crusades between Christianity and Islam also lasted over 150 years over the Middle east and Jerusalem. The 30 years' war between protestants and Catholics in Eirope as well.
Its only when you are quiet that I worry about you
Thanks for making this content.
Hey, thank you for your kind words.
Would you consider documenting your experience with series as you progress through? The OVA is 110 episodes, but it is separated into four seasons, so you can finish a season, take a break and go back if you prefer. I couldn't stop watching though once I started XDDD I had to stop myself from binging because it PAYS to slowly chew the long dialogues about political philosophy.
I also hate silence #ADHD gang
Highly underrated channel ❤
Also Saints > Falcons
It is also possible that it is just you. I personally hate anything loud, and the obnoxious people that bring it. So this series is by design for people that appreciate a calmer paced life with a lot of time to think about what they have seen.

You guys have yet to make a bad video. Keep it up!
Good video
Bruh i just hear my tinnitus when there is silence
You do a piss poor service by comparing the production values of LOGH with Akira, the differences between production values and budgets is from heaven to earth.
what is the song at the end?
The mask at the end ruined it

Says you don't like mundane and slow things... shows a clip of Korra. One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is a horrible series that not only doesn't hold a candle compared to the OG series, but is actually a vile piece of garbage totally anathema to the OG series. Seriously! Watch the Avatar Wan episodes and just how they totally and completely butcher the carefully crafted world building and lore of the OG Last Airbender... even more than the show already did before that point.
