Think they use battle axes in close combat because they thought it was cool? There’s a reason for that too. Think people bear those incredibly German names because they thought it was fun? There’s a reason for that. Everything about the plot and world of Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu is so painstakingly accurate in its construction, that I have yet to find some logical fault within any of the presented material. That said, it should also be mentioned that things only just start picking up pace past episode 30 or so, so you might need to bring some patience. The anime does nothing out of the ordinary, no supernatural occurrences or absurd plottwists to keep the viewer hooked instead it progresses slowly into a more or less foreseeable direction, still managing to show some surprising developments, that are all still in the viewer’s theoretically calculable range of anticipation. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu is like that, it’s like witnessing history happening live. History is a thing long in the past for us but something that was very present to people of the corresponding era, something that moved their hearts and lives, changed the direction in which humanity developed in a way that we may not be able to comprehend today. What I think though is, even if you don’t like it, you can’t deny this works greatness. You may not be suited to sit through the meticulously fleshed out dialogues, as well as philosophical, ethical and political discussions presented here, that is alright. Beware though, I have rated this show high from a very objective perspective, my personal enjoyment factor was not as high as my overall rating and if you’re a fan of modern animation, you might have a hard time getting used to or enjoy the series. Still, Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu was fascinating, in a way that no modern anime is. I was born, so if I am biased in any way, it would be towards modern anime, whose style is more of my cup of tea. To make one thing very clear, this anime was made before Are these people merely the retainers of old, classic shows that have been made in a style that has long since come to an end? I sincerely believe that it’s more than that. People on this site rate this anime so immensely high, that one would eventually come to wonder what that ridiculous score is based on, and give the whole thing a try. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, it’s a myth, a myth so old that many of today’s anime enthusiasts wouldn’t dare watch it. What I have just witnessed was history unfolding before my very eyes! In any case, if you're looking for something that is fairly slow paced but can keep your interest and give you something to think about go for Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Sure, both are great but you might not be thrilled by Hopkins as much as by the concrete shattering antics of Stallone. However, it's less the type of entertainment you'd get from Stallone blowing stuff up and more the type you'd get from Anthony Hopkins delivering a monologue.
While it is an extremely stimulating piece of futuristic fiction it is also quite entertaining. Since we have such a huge sample of each character's thoughts and ideas it's very easy to become attached to them while being exposed to different ideologies and political viewpoints. Even the action sequences (which are still extremely intense) are portrayed through dialog rather than karate. it is so obviously taken straight from a book, Legend of the Galactic Heroes is no more than a collection of conversations.
As far as character development goes there's a huge ever-developing list of people to keep track of and this is where it gets a little tricky. There are jokes but they're either without humor or simply not funny, so if you're looking for something light look elsewhere. The story is long (obviously) and intensely philosophical.
Watch legend of legendary heroes series#
Within minutes of beginning this show you can see how derivative it is from a series of books.
I'd like to preface this review with the fact that I'm an avid science fiction reader and have chewed through a fair amount of books in my day.
