Holy s***
LoGH getting licensed is something I never expected. |

I'd hope they go with the DVD masters with a blu-ray release if only for the amount of space. The BDs are upscales, iirc. |

I figured either Sentai or NIS would get this (MAYBE Discotek). Please dub Season 2 with the original cast!

I don't recall the original Geneon dub as being anything better than mediocre. Given what we've seen with The Familiar of Zero, I expect unless interest justifies otherwise, they'll let the dub for the original series stand but release the remainder subtitled. |

Not a bummer at all. No idea how you can say that. This is a title that was thought to never had a chance to be licensed due to its incredible length and its obvious age. |

OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!
OH! MY! GOD!!!! The impossible just happen!! LOGH IS COMING TO AMERICA!!! Oh, there is no force in Heaven or Hell to prevent me buying this masterpiece. *cries happy tears for the rest of my life* OH please let it be similar to the Japanese collectionbox set because those looked so cool. Edit: Wait, is it just the original 110 OVA episodes or is Sentai Filmworks trying to get the full monty: 110 episode OVAs, the Golden Wings OVA, the Hundred Billion Stars, A Hundred Billion Lights OVA, the Spiral Labyrinth OVA, and the Overture to a New War (which I still need to watch). Because that it gonna be a major pain in the butt to track all those down. Last edited by Keichitsu0305 on Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:00 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Sentai licensed Legend of the Galactic Heroes? I...I... Oh, stars, I'm so happy I could just die.
Back in 2009, I emailed in the following response to an Answerman question regarding which pre-2000s anime we wanted to see licensed (animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2009-09-04):
I've never been so glad to be wrong. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go drag my Reinhard cosplay out of the closet and go dance around the living room. |

Has there been precedent in licensed anime that used very famous renditions of classical music? I'm curious if the bevy of orchestral BGM during the space battles may raise a red flag somehow.

This this this this THIS. I was already hyped to hell about the novels, but my brain's just about broken now. I'm finding a way to have them shut up and take my money before pre-orders are out. |

I just ordered Higurashi Kai from Siren 3 days ago. Just my luck. I will double dip for BR's for both seasons, but will keep what I have for dvd only.
LOGH will be a day one pickup. I still cannot believe this day has finally come. |

Am I dead? This is the afterlife, right?
Absolutely cannot believe this. I thought we'd never see the day LOTGH would get licensed---I finally had broken down and watched the series via old laserdisc fansubs, and I've gotta say, every ounce of the legend is true. This is such a phenomenal, classic anime, and I'm hopping up and down right now making noises no human should be able to! Take my money, Sentai, take it all! Ahem. Also really jazzed that Higurashi got licensed as well. I cannot wait to replace my crappy DVDs; I have fond memories of terrorizing a good friend of mine with some of the more infamous scenes. I wonder if LOTGH will get a BR release (a dub almost seems too colossal an undertaking to be possible for Sentai, but I can pray)? If the article stated so, I must have completely missed it in my fangirl-induced stupor. Never would have pegged Sentai as being the one to finally get this series (honestly, I thought Nozomi/RightStuf would have), but good on them, as long as they release a quality product. Next year cannot arrive soon enough. |

I love LoGH with all my heart and would pick up the set of subtitled blu-ray if that's what they will be releasing.

The gist of LOGH sounds intriguing. Is there any chance this'll be released straight into physical form?
