This is peak anime, so good it transcends the medium and you forget you're watching an anime. This isn't just a good story with good politics, it's the show that perfectly complements both and gives a satisfying conclusion to everything the series is about. It shows the most idealized version of a monarchy, against the idealized version of someone who believes in democracy, in an era where humans now live in space. The story is so interesting throughout the 110 episodes (minus a few filler episodes in the first season), that if you've watched and liked the first or second episode, you're gonna enjoy the rest. The characters, the music, the science, the history, the world building, it succeeds like not other political space opera does.
I wouldn't recommend this anime to beginners however, since requires a certain level of understanding and patience, something most modern anime fans lack until after they've had a variety of different types of anime and want to experience something completely different.
LOTGH is to anime, what Ted Kaczynski's manifesto is to politics and philosophy, but with a good story to.
