Will it be the Empire who triumphs or the Free Planetary Alliance. What better plot could you have than a political one with so many threads it keeps you guessing as to which way things are going to go. On what that 'other' individual seemed to state. Possible Spoilers but honestly, nothing at all given away in terms of the overall story.
#Legend of the galactic heroes lore series#
This series is absolutely beautiful, both in scope, it's design of story and artwork. The animation and music are mediocre at best considering its 30 years old but serves the purpose as the focus of this series is the storytelling and it does have an interesting story to tell.ĭon't listen to what any of the negative reviewers say. Loved the social commentary and the conflicting questions asked all through the series. This is as much a biography of these two as a military sci-fi. Their lives are as dissimilar as it can be yet they parallel each other in achievements. The Sci-fi anime is focused on Space Warfare between two Inter-Galactic Powers, the story is told by showcasing the lives of two geniuses who clash against each other over the years. This is one of the most unique anime series I have watched, it didn't depend on action sequences, heroic fighting, intrigue or showy effects to tell a story as is the style for such animation series, instead it relied on believable strategy's and actual storytelling, it genuinely felt like a good adoption from a Sci-fi novel as is the actual case. I liked the story so much, didn't have the patience to wait for new seasons to come out and decided to binge watch this ancient animation series. I started watching this 30 years old anime series after seeing the first season (Ginga Eiyû Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou 2018) of a reboot based on the original. I have finally watched the last episode of this OVA series, and WOW! just doesn't seem to cover it. But with so many anime series now that are like a flavor of the month, a licensed release of LOGH seems like it will never happen. The series may never be brought to the US dubbed because of it's length, although the task of it would not be impossible seeing as the Urusei Yatsura fans have gotten the last DVD box set of that series. Which is why I liken it to the Babylon 5 of anime. Making it one of the best anime series that hardly any one has ever seen. The series is epic in scope and legendary in it's execution. If you look at these two characters they want the same thing for their people, you think they could have been friends if the situations were different.
The differences are the two characters approach, Lohengram wants more power to effect that change and Yang wants none.
Yang to wishes an end to the corruption in the so called democracy of his government. This makes him well versed in past military tactics and a genius in his own rights.
On the side of the Free Planets there's Yang Wen-Li, who joined the military just to pay his tuition to be a historian. On the Empire side there is Reinhard Von Lohengram, military ace and nexus point to bring about change within the Empire and do away with the corrupt nobles. The break down is it's the story of the struggle between two empires and the two heroes at the center of it all, each fighting for their own reasons. That would make Legend of Galactic Heroes (LOGH) like the Babylon 5 among anime! Word of this series is spread by showing at anime clubs, conventions and word of mouth by fans. Gundam has been described as being to Japan what Star Trek is to the USA.
