Hi,
Just want to add to the discussion that there is another
complication regarding Logh. The first time I watched Logh was by
"accident". I just turned on the TV and I saw Logh (in HK). All I saw was a
young man (actually Yang) talking to an old guy on a bench about some
fortress (Iseloin) and other politics stuff. At that time I was like 12 and
my first reaction was to turn off the TV immediately.
However, somehow I couldn't forget this little experience. Years
later somehow I remembered this and I said to myself, "maybe I turned off
the TV too quickly......". A couple of years later I saw Logh episodes for
rent. The rest is history. I got addicted to it.
I just want to point out, unlike other anime like Ranma or even
Dragonball, you absolutely have to watch Logh from the very beginning to
appreciate it. For example if you start from the second season, you will
have little idea what Kiekeris (wrong spelling) mean to Reinhard. This, I
think, is another reason why Logh is not as popular as the others, because
not a lot of people will watch an anime from the beginning to the end.
Usually people sort of "jump in".
