For decades, the Galactic Empire has been locked in an interstellar war with the Free Planets Alliance, a conflict that involves thousands of spaceships and millions of soldiers on both sides. Two new commanders enter the conflict with great hopes: Imperial Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm and the FPA's Yang Wen-Li. As they deal with superiors and subordinates, maneuver through complicated political arrangements, plot strategies, and win battles, each will be tested, and ultimately, changed, by the reality of war.

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 âclassicsâ in the same fashion a few circles do. I donât feel that is true, though, when taking into accoâŠ
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 classiâŠ
<div align="justify"> If youâve been watching anime for a while, chances are youâve heard of _Legend of the Galactic Heroes_. Chances are youâve heard some pretty good things about it too.

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 arenât that great as some kind of âtoo deep for you to get itâ masterpiece of writing, so I was a little wary heading in to this one. It turns outâŠ
Great the first time around, the rewatch was even better, despite it's flaws
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 EiyuuâŠ
There are as many dreams as there are stars in the sky
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 forâŠ
By no means a perfect anime, but deserves full recognition for its place in anime history.

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 historicalâŠ
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 âshifts goalpostsâ at several points to reflect the intentions of the story. This is noticeable by the climax of the first season, whichâŠ
A Political Opera in the Stars â Rarely Matched in Scope or Substance
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is not just a space opera; itâs 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 emotionâŠ
âPerfection is a fairly non-existent thing. If you couldnât do it, it was probably impossible for anybody else, too.â
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 inâŠ
Didn't manage to get me on the masterpiece bandwagon, but definitely worth a gander, despite it's flaws.

In every era, in every time, the deeds of men remain the same
~~~LOGH orbita obsessivamente o tema da guerra. In every era, in every time, the deeds of men remain the same. Essas palavras, que acompanham a segunda opening do anime, correspondem a parte substancial do argumento que a obra busca desenvolver ao longo de seus 110 episĂłdios.

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 diâŠ
