story is ten volumes, accompanied by four volumes of side stories.
Is it for everyone? Probably not.įirst, a history lesson: this OVA is an adaptation of Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, a series of science fiction novels written by Tanaka Toshiki, which were originally published from 1982 to 1989. Rather, it is a long narrative recounting the deeds of a legendary hero and his antagonist (and I already managed to namedrop the title). When I use the word “epic,” it is not in the slang sense of “super cool” (although it is also that). The Legend of the Galactic Heroes is the single most epic anime I have ever seen.
