Time for some good hard science fiction anime, as we continue with the Die Neue These reboot of Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
The second season, Stellar War, was actually made as three cinematic movies, later each split in short series of 4 episodes each.
Only downside being I only seem to find a dubbed version online overhere, but heck, while not ideal it doesn't distract from once again the fantastic visuals and strong story.
Following immediatly after the huge battle at the end of the first season, the remnants of the fleets are gathering together after their failed invasion. While Yang keeps organiszing a fighting withdrawal, the losses are catastrophic and shifts the momentum of the war to the Empire. But when the Kaiser dies without naming an heir, civil war stirs underneath their successes, buying the Alliance time. But the losses also have taken a toll on Alliance leadership, and unrest stirs between the surface there as well...
This first part of the second season / first movie kicks off intensely, with the huge battle, but also the politics behind two galactic forces adding a layer of intrigue.
I look forward to watching the next instalment for sure!
