Maybe some time for Anime on the timeline and reappreciation of a classic.
When people think of Anime nowadays, I guess people think of isekai fantasy, ninjas, wacky/weird, or gruesome, flashy battle scenes or outlandish comedy.
But 40 years ago, anime sci-fi was in a renaissance era.
Let's look at, "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" A space opera classic.
"The Galactic Empire and Free Planets Alliance clash in a long war, rival strategists Reinhard von Lohengramm and Yang Wen-li rise through fleet battles and political intrigue, testing ideals of power and democracy"
This is not a easy to consume autopilot anime.
There is thought provoking conversations, discussions about ideals and politics, without being in your face about it. The kind of conversations that are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.
A very nuanced take on some complex concepts.
If you're looking for something old but gold, this is it.
Perhaps start from the original (there is a remake)
