LOTGH:NT ~ History of the Goldenbaum Dynasty

from episode 3

Biggest irony, both the remake and the original, is that he became a historical inspiration point that led to downfall of Goldenbaum and Free Planets Alliance.
Goldenbaum dynasty was overthrown by a military officer who took his path but deconstructed his aristocracy who became too complacent and decadent from his "best of the best" mentality.
Free Planets Alliance fell because they refuse to listen to Yang assuming that he would become Goldenbaum despite having little to no interest in power-grabbing.

I just saw the original 1989 episode history of the Goldenbaum Dynasty yesterday. they show the development to the 150 year war in a whole documentary.

This franchise is one of the best space operas I've ever seen

While I do like the uniforms I find it bad that they made him look evil. The great thing about the original was that he looked quite normal but with charisma. This remake is just: Yeah here is an evil guy who is evil looking.

The ships in the classic looked very distinct especially through history. The ships in this overall just look like technoclutter pulled out of an algorythmic image generator.

For anyone who believes that a single man like Rudolf could not have possibly done so much changing damage to a nation/society and still retain absolute power and a strong sense of worship/support, then I would like you to point to the examples of Mao Zedong. Literally both Rudolf (Inferior Genes Exclusion Act) and Mao (Great Leap Forward) enacted genocidal policies on their own people and still remained strongly in power and even significant support. Both Mao and Rudolf despite murdering millions/billions of their own people still was revered similar to a God after their death.

For those that can't believe that Rudolph can turn an advanced/modern democratic republican interstellar society into space 18th century feudal Prussia, then Mao also a similar thing with the cultural revolution, where he effectively wiped out millennia of Chinese traditional culture and replaced it with his own preferred one with his own cult of personality. What really scares me so much is how easily the masses can be manipulated by ruler and state, and in some cases how little they can matter to a state as well. Mao killed around 50 million people and that only strengthened his power, Rudolph literally killed around 4.9 billion people and dramatically decreased the entire population of humanity, like literally when the Galactic Empire started, there were 300 billion people in the Galaxy. By the time of LOGH, literally only 25 billion people were left. That is so scary that a state can do so much damage to people with no real danger to its authority, and this again parallels in China where the one child policy has put China's demographics in terminal decline.

We may think people like Rudolf and the rise of the Galactic Empire can only exist in fiction, but they have existed many times in history before, and might very well exist again.

old Rudolf looked better, maybe they wanted the audience to dislike him more? However the addition of pickelhaube is a nice touch

1:10 just noticed there is an explanation for why most of their planet's don't have any modern city's. I figured it had to do with sustainability of planets over multiple generations but it sounds like it was actually put in place as a type of social conditioning to except the nobles and to prevent large gatherings.

[AvalancheZ]

To see those futuristic skyscrapers give way to medieval revival, against the backdrop of that sombre music, was so sad. Rudolf von Goldenbaum ended the degenerate decline of the Galactic Federation by turning back the clock of human civilisation by a few centuries too many. A stark warning about the decline of higher civilisation and the emergency measures taken when it can no longer be ignored.

[feuerjager]

Wow they paraphrased the fuck out of the original

[KeyleeTamirian]

Where's the Fatass Striptease Ladies? Where's gory dead bodies?
Yep, sadly because it's a TV format, and the modern anime, it won't show that stuff that was used to portray a degrading society.
I really prefer the 90's OVA because it was much more...detailed.
Come on, Fatass Striptease Ladies are the best thing of Episode 40.

[MrLantean]

In an episode of LOTGH: NT, Yang Wen Li mentions that he admires Rudolf Goldenbaum. His methods may be ruthless but he solves most the problems during his time period. Unfortunately he has also sown the seeds of new problems which now plagues the time frame of Reinhard Von Lohengramm and Yang Wen Li.

[SMGJohn]

Just going to skip over the part were Rudolf had 4 billion people mass murdered because of the Inferior Genes Exclusion Act
???
Jesus Christ, I am not really sure about this new series, I felt the old one did flesh out the story far more, however the remake does one thing better than the old, it creates better drama sequences, flow and overall just looks much better, while the old one had issues with some scenes just being too damn short and the talk scenes just flashing by really quickly also skipping over some parts like the infighting between the royals when the Kaiser died.

[ChuckPalomo]

I'm irrationally pissed off at how they did Earth dirty. I love Earth, it's a great planet.

[diyartcollege]

Wow they skipped like 90% of the details lmfao

[SaiyanZ]

I don't think this is supposed to be a recap of 88's ep 40 if this is just ep 3. I do remember a short recap of Earth's history being told early on in the series so maybe they're saving a detailed version of it for later...but yeah I'm not feeling this version, the '88 series had a vintage look to it that was suitable. I think the clean art is a little "too" clean if that makes any sense and that takes away from the aura/mystique/charm or w/e you wanna call it.

Sizi bir kaç kez izleme fırsatı buldum.
У меня была возможность наблюдать за тобой несколько раз.

[Ares]

Could they have made Rudolph Goldenbaum look more obviously evil?
