whats so interesting about LotGH is how critical the narrator is especially with the "honor" o…
Read full review on AniList →Good? Yes, but far from being the pinnacle of anime.
For a while, some of the people who I usually talk to on MAL have come to claim that I am some kind of contrarian, due to my refusal to shout unconditional praise for some works considered to be “classics” in the same fashion a few circles do. I don’t feel that is true, though, when taking into acco…
Read full review on AniList →A boring, bland, poorly written, soulless excuse for a show that fails in virtually every single respect.
Often times, we end up with shows that are praised merely for attempting what they attempt, and not for what they actually execute in practice. Legend of the Galactic Heroes (from here on out shortened to LotGH) is one such show - while the show has an incredibly niche following and is a cult classi…
Read full review on AniList →Grand, emphatic, a story for the ages
<div align="justify"> If you’ve been watching anime for a while, chances are you’ve heard of _Legend of the Galactic Heroes_. Chances are you’ve heard some pretty good things about it too. The 110 episode OVA series is perhaps one of the most lauded in the industry and has garnered a hefty, dedicate…
Read full review on AniList →Space opera done right. Must watch series.
Legend of Galactic Heroes (LoGH) is one of my favorite shows in any genre. There can be a tendency for fans of certain anime to overly praise things that aren’t that great as some kind of “too deep for you to get it” masterpiece of writing, so I was a little wary heading in to this one. It turns out…

Rewatch. An interesting word. Especially in the event of getting the opportunity to reexperience a work which changed your perception of the medium. A chance to see how it measures up with the passage of time and evolution and development of your own beliefs. A work like that for me was Ginga Eiyuu…

A young man sits at the command of a large fleet of ships, a tall red headed youth at his side, and allies who could be mistaken for friends at his beck and call. Opposing him is an older, albeit still quite young man, who surrounds himself with men he can trust, though you wouldn't be at fault for…

And thus it is over, my long journey over the past three months or more watching this 110-episode anime, its prologue movie and its two prequel spin-offs. I'm grateful to have experienced this anime. Among the an…

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, comumente chamado por Legends of the Galatic Heroes (LOGH), arremete a um futuro fictício que nos mostra uma galáxia dividida por uma guerra secular entre duas nações: um aristocrático e absolutista Império Galáctico e uma democrática Aliança de Planetas Livres.
A série prota…

I had heard of Legend Of The Galactic Heroes (LOGH) for almost as long as I had been watching anime and been involved in the community. The acclaim astonished me…
Read full review on AniList →Great Men and Those Around Them - how Legend of the Galactic Heroes gradually expands its scope
While Legend of the Galactic Heroes is primarily a narrative of a long political conflict, and in some part a character study of its main two rivals, the narrative “shifts goalposts” at several points to reflect the intentions of the story. This is noticeable by the climax of the first season, which…

LoGH is a classic space opera epic that transcends any other media in this genre. This one-of-a-kind sci-fi medium does the aspects of politics, war, history, world building, characters, lore, dialogues, strategies etc perfectly with well thought out narration and description. LoGH's story excels in…
Read full review on AniList →A grand political science fiction epic in the finest tradition of the genre
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a science fiction story that first and foremost functions as a vehicle for its examination of the theory and practice of politics. While it is certainly showing that age in some areas, particularly in how dated the various academic schools of political and historical…

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is not just a space opera; it’s an immersive experience. With over 100 episodes, LoGH stands out as a rare breed of anime that delves into philosophical discussions, political strategy, and character development rather than relying solely on action set pieces or emotion…

The greatest space opera anime ever made—and the genre’s best-kept secret.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Review for MAL
(This Review Contains Spoilers)
Introduction:
For some reason in the Anime Community, there is this...almost cult like mentality for certain series. We also have buzzwords that keep being thrown out like “Classics” or “Masterpieces” or even people hati…
Read full review on AniList →Trust me, this is a must watch.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a niche anime, but it's praised by that niche... does it deserve it? I raise my hands and say "absolute cinema."
It's certainly not an anime everyone will enjoy, and I can understand why; who would want to sit through 110 episodes of people sitting behind a table di…

Legend of the Galactic Heroes takes itself seriously, and that might be its biggest strength as well as its greatest flaw. While I think it’s overrated on this website, to say that I didn’t like the series would be a lie, and I wouldn’t have finished it if there hadn’t been aspects of it that I real…
