It's possible to watch an episode in which the heroes prepare for an invasion, skip ahead three episodes, and find the heroes still preparing for it.ДЄnd yet, said glacial pace gives way to one of the most well-regarded stories in anime history, rich with philosophical debates, tactical planning, a healthy amount of Genius Bonus and enough political intrigue to fill the Bundestag three times over. At times, this can become confusing, to the point where you need a scorecard to keep all of the character's names and ambitions straight. There's so many, in fact, that each episode always shows a character's name when they first shows up on screen in case you forgot who they were. It's also crammed with characters, from the big players at the top of the government to the lowly farmers and grunt soldiers at the bottom who get everything done. The story is played straight and seriously and is crammed with detail. They become the series' titular Galactic Heroes. Together, these two men, both tactical geniuses, are destined for greatness.

Fighting for the opposing Free Planets Alliance (a government which resembles a crumbling, bloated 20th century democracy) is Yang Wen-li, an easygoing historian who only reluctantly joined the military because he was broke.

Fighting in the forces of the Galactic Empire (whose government and society are based on 19th century Prussia) is the ambitious young noble named Reinhard von MГјsel, better known by the name granted to him later, Reinhard von Lohengramm.

The meat of the story is this: sometime in the 36th century (the narrative of the main series takes place between January 3596 and July 3601), humanity has spread out amongst the stars and has split off into two great superpowers which are now sadly engaged in a decades-long knock-down, drag-out war with each other. (A noble yet feeble attempt at licensing a dub version of the anime was made many years ago, but no one bit, and thus the only way the series was accessible in English until recently was via Fan Sub.) until Anime Expo 2015, when Viz Media licensed the novels and Sentai Filmworks licensed the OVA which is now available on Hidive.

(It is, therefore, longest-running OVA of all time, although it was later shown on TV.) This is in Japan, of course, as neither the anime, nor the manga, nor the huge series of novels written by Yoshiki Tanaka which spawned the franchise have ever been released in America. Legend of the Galactic Heroes is an enormous, sprawling 110-episode (plus side stories) Space Opera originally released on home video.
