Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Sakubou

After Yang Wen-li successfully captures the Iserlohn Fortress, the Free Planets Alliance grows bolder in its militaristic ambitions. With recent incursions into Galactic Empire territory and the possession of a perfect beachhead, the Alliance is now able to deal significant damage to the Empire. However, Reinhard von Lohengramm has no intention of allowing the Free Planets Alliance to gain a foothold. He is adamant about carrying on his best friend Siegfried Kircheis' dearest wish: to be the one to unite the universe.

As wide-scale military clashes continue, the opportunist Adrian Rubinsky, Fezzan's ambitious leader, attempts to take advantage of the war to further his personal goals.

What can I say except how amazing the remake has been. This season may have not been as action-heavy and climactic as the previous season, but this season has primarily been building up to what's probably the best part of the OVA: Operation Ragnarok.

Because this season is primarily dialogue, we have very few action scenes. The couple that we do get is the conclusion to Fortress vs Fortress fight in episode one, and the opening battle of Operation Ragnarok between Iserlohn Fortress and Reuenthal's fleet. Both fight scenes are amazing, which shows to go how far CG has come when it comes to space ... battles (same quality as Yamato 2199's fights).

Regardless of the minimal space fights, the art and animation still shine brightly. We get some (questionable) character designs, but the artwork is still fantastic nonetheless. The series benefits from the movie-level quality of animation, and I pray that I.G. continues adapting the series, as next season will deliver on the best the series has to offer. Everything will pay off in the following 12 episodes next season.

Having read the novels and seen the OVA (like most of us here, presumably), the story and characters are obviously a 10/10. I have nothing else to say about that.

Overall enjoyment of this season: 9/10.

There isn't much to say about this anime, except that the remake is excellent, and allows newcomers and veterans of the franchise alike to enjoy this philosophical space opera. This season is much more political than the previous one, and not battle heavy. So it could be considered more boring, however this just isn't the kind of anime that you watch for the action alone. This is the kind of anime you watch sipping a glass of wine, pondering about political philosophy, which is what its all about. The anime is basically a commentary on political systems and is absolutely excellent.

I truly hope that they ... do the entire series in the remake style. I want to see this through to the end. There's just too many interesting themes to think about. Even watching modern events such as the current war in Ukraine, you are given new perspectives when you watch this anime. And above all the dilemma: What is better? A corrupt inefficient Democracy, or a Tyranny with happy people?

9/10, very worth a watch if you like strategy, politics, and anime that makes you think about existential questions.
It can't be said enough but the characters (mainly Yang Wen Li and Duke Lohengramm) are absolutely amazing.
And the parallels with modern Western countries (the free planet alliance) are very strong.

Honestly, I only started watching the remade Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu just to see what the hype about the original was all about and because after watching so many anime, movies and shows I was beginning to run out of things to watch. I never expected to watch it all in it's entirety and am really glad I gave it a chance.

This is not my typical genre, yet there is something so compelling about the storytelling that it keeps you coming back for more. A grand drama that intrigues even those not fond of the genre.

The modern art style is very well done and ... those who do not enjoy the 'classic' vibe of the original will definitely like this.

The likeable and well-rounded characters will you give a hard time in deciding deciding which side to root for.

A solid recommend for those wanting to watch something new.
