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.
