Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Laser Disc vs DVD - Episode 43

People seemed to like my previous comparisons, and a few of you asked for this epic fight, so here you go! (two years later!)

The amount of times the animation style changes in this one scene is borderline comical, I remember years ago I made a video that counted every time it switched between the hand drawn and digital art style and what I found is that it changed art styles 30 times in a matter of 1 and a half minutes or something stupid like that in this scene. I think what is annoying is the redraw scenes actually look pretty good in their own right but the fact it changes art styles so frequently is really off putting.

Unfortunately, series 2 must have had major budget cuts compared to the first series because a lot of the animation in the middle episodes was pretty bad and needed rework. The obvious switching between the old animation and new animation in the remastered version is really distracting though.

The redrawing in the DVD was much needed. But further editing can help bring the best of both in done correctly.

Seeing these videos makes very confused. Here the DVD version is shown w/ no subtitles, however the one my brother and I watch is the DVD version & has subtitles
