Woah cool info! I hadn't followed up on this series since the first trailer came out, but back then I assumed they were going to do something dumb like try to fit the 110 episodes into this one cour. Cool to hear they're properly going through the arcs and taking a similar amount of time to the OVAs. Shame about the OST though, one of my favorite aspects of the original series as well. I look back on so many battles in that show fondly, largely in part due to the soundtrack.

2023-12-17 05:17:18 +0000 UTCI'm so excited about this series, mainly so that I can finally commit to watching DNT after years of putting it off. I'm probably going to brush up on the original adaptation too alongside this, just to get a stronger memory of how they compare. Speaking of comparison, DNT currently has 48 "episodes" (in quotes as most were released as films), and that places it up to episode 44 of the original adaptation. The original series went up to 110. So there are two interesting takeaways from that, 1.) this adaptation is going to be ongoing for quite a few more years, and 2.) DNT adds enough content to have 4 extra episodes. Now I have no idea where all that extra content came from as the original was still fairly loyal to the novels, but it's worth noting. I could probably harp on the smaller comparisons between the adaptations, but I think the most interesting thing to bring up in this first episode is stylistic changes. First, the one people generally dislike, is character designs. DNT's designs are TECHNICALLY more accurate to the novel descriptions, but most people prefer the more grounded looks of the original series. I've come to accept the new character designs over time, but I definitely wasn't fond of them when I saw the very first trailer all those years ago. The second difference is the visual design of ships and equipment. DNT has a 30-year advantage here. While I love how blocky the Alliance's ships are in the original (even more so than this adaptation), I think it's undeniable that the new ship designs work great for delivering a better sense of scale and movement. They also don't have the disadvantage shared by all old sci-fi, where everything new and futuristic back then looks dated to us now. The final comparison, and my personal favorite, is the choice of OST. DNT has some excellent original tracks with modern music production, it's all incredible. The original heavily relies on classical music pieces, with a few iconic new themes mixed in. Don't get me wrong, I love the bits of the new OST that I've heard so far, but nothing compares to watching thousands of warships firing at each other to the sound of Dvorak's Symphony Number 9. If I could take any one element from the original and transfer it to DNT, it would be this. So many iconic space battles in the original are synced up to these magnificent classical music pieces, adding a sense of drama that you just don't quite get anywhere else. It helps to sell the scale of each battle and make it all the more believable that you are watching history unfold. Edit: Fun fact, LoGH has over 600 named characters. No, most of them aren't super important. But there are at least a dozen or so characters on each side of the conflict that play key roles throughout the story. So good luck with that.
