Legend of Galactic Heroes 1 - 4
(updated 4/20/99)
Legend of Galactic Heroes is neither funny nor cute, but it does feature two boys who forged a friendship which propelled them to supreme fame and power. However, don't be fooled by the glitz and glory, because this is one grim and lengthy saga, presented like some futuristic documentary.

A long time from now in a galaxy none other than our own, the evil empire and rebel forces are waging space wars. Question is, who's worse with political betrayals, economic plunders, and devious military tactics?

Though more realistic than most shows, one must nevertheless accept certain coincidences and plot twists contrived to keep the story going and going...

This volume introduces the two sides, the Empire and the Free Planets. Though it may sound like Star Wars, there is no distinct "good" and "bad" side. Both governments are corrupt, and two heroes emerge on both sides.

Subtitled by Central Anime. The fonts are on the small side, but it should be readable for at least another 2-3 generations. We have a good SVHS copy, so no worries there. It takes a while to get used to the German names, and there are plenty of characters, so you will need to pay attention.

Genre: sci-fi military drama
Episode 1: not translated
Episode 2: not translated
Episode 3: The 13th Fleet is Born
Episode 4: Imperial Afterglow
