Legend of the Galactic Heroes User Reviews

LOGH is an anime of epic proportions, for starters, is maybe the longest OVA ever with 110 episodes. Thats because is based on a 10 volumes novel. If you want an example of what is like, think in the Lord of the Rings. The history revolves mostly around the carrer of two young but promising naval officers that serve in different armed forces of centuries old enemy galactic nations. The pace is slow, narrated in past time, but it's full of details, with countless of characters with their own histories. The main themes are politics and warfare, but the characters developments in the long drama is very interesting. The main drawback is that is an old anime (1988-1997) so the animation looks poor compared with today standars. Another problem is the long time it take to watch LOGH, if we try to watch it non-stop it take almost 47 hours. Some times the side histories are not so interesting or just boring, but the plot looks solid in credibility. Is not for everyone, but if you like space opera with tousands of ships in battle and have a lot of time, you can give it a try.
