Something else to note is that LOGH's main series is broken down into 4 "seasons". If the whole length is intimidating, break it down by season and take a break between watching each one. There is nothing wrong with savoring the show.

Also, something to note. The main series is an adaptation of the novel, however, golden wings is an exception. A partially complete manga adaptation of the novels was made first, featuring a different artstyle. One new manga called Golden Wings was written by the original author, Tanaka. When it came time to make the anime version of Golden Wings, they decided to literally adopt the manga's artstyle, rather than conform to the designs seen in the anime. Why? No fucking clue, but the story shown in it IS canon, only the oddball artstyle is not.
