I’m starting to slowly work my way through the Legend of the Galactic Heroes and this show goes so hard.
Yang hates his fucking job. He gets a half-assed promotion and is expected to work miracles.
The liberal democracy faction in the war has a fascist paramilitary at the president’s command lmao
Space anime for history dads - such a mood.
The animation is gorgeous, too.
I’m sure I’ll be sick of this shit after 100 episodes of it, but I’m living for it now lol.
The show’s title is basically Great Man Theory ~in Space~, so I’m already expecting some “what if the space Prussians were the good guys, but they just have the wrong dictator” shit.
I was having such a hard time putting a name to the style of history they were doing. Is that really the name for it? It really is aggravating in the show and so lazily explained why all events depend on like two people.
I believe so, but I don’t have any academic experience in history so take that with a grain of salt.
It’s aggravating to me when people do it with modern and contemporary history. I think I have a bit more tolerance when it has fantasy elements or enough focus on the melodrama.
I’ll probably be sick of LotGH after dozens of episodes, but I’m hopeful that I’ll enjoy it enough stretched out over a year or two lol
