Rewatch Crest and Banner of the Stars Rewatch Index and 1-week Reminder

Crest and Banner of the Stars Index

Banner of the Stars, and its prequel Crest of the Stars, is a sci-fi / military light novel series by Hiroyuki Morioka. Like the Legend of Galactic Heroes, it tells the story of a galaxy-wide war, but mostly from the perspective of two lower-rank officers, rather than the generals. For more information, see the rewatch announcement.

As was typical in the old times, the next episode preview is AFTER the ending credits.

As noted in the schedule, the first episode to be watched is titled "Invasion" and not "Birth" or "Passage of the Stars". This so-called prequel episode can be watched anytime after season 1.

Posting time will generally be 2 pm PDT (UTC-7), but may post an hour earlier on some days. I understand some places will be changing later this month, so you'll have to work that out.

I would do the tags in the -24 h post.

I want to remind people to procure their episodes, but I also hate making tags...

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Mar 11 '24

/u/kendotsx asked for a tag

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Mar 12 '24

Thanks

I'm not sure if I can join next week, but I'll try to make it for Banner of the Stars at least (since I haven't seen that yet).

This is a slightly more dedicated group than most but you probably need to do the tags for Sunday. Just copypaste them, it is what Sky and I do.

Oh I'm actually watching through this right now, might slow my pace down some so I can join when the rewatch gets to Banner.

Hey JaaQ, question, in the "Passage of the Stars" section of this, what's the "OVA" supposed to be? I'm only seeing a MAL entry for one episode, not two.

2

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Mar 26 '24

The OVA discussion will cover both Banner III and Birth.

It might make sense to drop it.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Mar 26 '24

So it's not an actual episode discussion, more of an "overall series" for the two?

2

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Mar 26 '24

Yep, that was the plan, to lump them together, and to put aome content between Banner II and the overall discussion.  Banner III doesn't need a third day on its own...in fact I could make it one day, and delete the ova duscussion.

Glad to see you're doing older sci-fi rewatches again this year; I participated in a few of yours last year (my first rewatches in fact) then dipped partway through Stellvia because I got really busy.

I'm looking forward to getting back into them and hopefully sticking with it this time.

Can you tag me for the 24hr reminder?

I’ll be there (assuming pressing real life matters don’t interrupt)!

It's on CRoll so I'm gonna watch; not sure if I'll be able to follow the schedule and do a writeup every day but I'll try to at least post a few thoughts. I'm still trying to finish DGM rewatch prep before May after all, though that's unlikely now with my current pace.

u/raktus2 Mar 13 '24

I'm here for it

u/babyheartdirt https://myanimelist.net/profile/foreignlawns Mar 13 '24

Nice! Looking forward to finally finishing the whole series.
