I have watched both versions of LoGH. I don't hate the new one, but I would never suggest that it is on par with the original. The artstyle is the most obvious difference and I feel like a lot of the characters have been a lot less facially distinct. They all seem like they are kpop stars instead of soldiers. Another thing that irks me is that the lasers, while visually beautiful, don't make any sense. In the original you only see the lasers as instantaneous flashes of light, but in the remake they have actual travel time. Understandably the distances at which they have these space wars are large, but not large enough to have such long travel time for light. The last problem is the music. Every single piece of music in the original is classical which sets the mood perfectly. It is hard to watch LoGH with anything other than classical music.
Thank you.
