LOTGH seems cool, but I'd prefer to read the books. Has anybody read them? Do they hold up?
It seems to be a retelling of certain aspects of European history from a Japanese point of view which might be, say, interesting.

I've heard the same about the books, and that even a poor translation is hard to find. I've also heard that the new series follows the books more closely, but can't confirm.
The new series is more politically correct .For example it doesn't go in to the fact that the empire came about because of the degeneracy of the republic. So no, don't bother with the new series, it sucks. Like i said its only good for seeing space battles with better animations
There is an official translation now which finished the last book just a couple years ago, now is the best time to read it in English.
