Don’t know how you guys feel about comparisons to Star Trek but I thought this was interesting.
Also, Mods … if this kind of post is not allowed, I don’t mind it being taken down.
I’ve only watched about half of all Star Trek content with series and movies and animations. I thought I had years of content to watch in the future … but after hearing about other series from other people over the years, through comments in this community and through lists like this Youtube video … I think I’ll be spending the rest of my life watching scifi, the majority of which will be Star Trek.
Watched and loved all over the years except 5&6!
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is an interesting one. It is based off a Japanese novel (debatable whether it is one long novel or a series, but that is a digression) that is okay ish. But the show does a pretty decent job of it, and many actually consider the show to be the better form. It’s pretty long, like 110 episodes (from memory, could be wrong) and occasionally it veers into petty politicking a little too much for my liking. But it’s really interesting from a tactical point of view in a way that no other sci Fi has attempted. It’s very fuedal naval empires in space. Master and Commander stuff.
Worth it. Give it a few episodes to let the show grow on you. The art style will throw you off initially, but after a little bit it seems normal.
