Here's the general information for the list you've
subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:
Legends of the Galactic Heroes (LoGH) is an anime (Japanese animation)
series based on a series of science fiction novels by Yoshiki Tanaka
published beginning in 1982.
Currently, the anime consists of 95 OVA episodes, 2 movies, and a special
prequel OVA. A total of 104 episodes are planned. LoGH also exists in
Japanese and Chinese manga (comic book) form.
LoGH is different from other anime in that there are no giant
transforming robots, transsexual martial artists, or cute girls in sailor
suits. If you're looking for any of these things you'll be disappointed
here.
LoGH is far more serious. It's like an epic opera set in space. Set
somewhere in distant space in the 36th-37th centuries, LoGH is a story of
the titanic struggle going on between the Galactic Empire, a dynastic
monarchy based on 19th century Prussia, and the Free Planets Alliance, a
nominal democracy. All types of characters, from high nobility, admirals,
and politicans, to common soldiers and farmers, are interweaved into the
story. Throw in a classical music soundtrack, and you've got a pretty
darn good series.
The spectacle of thousands of battlecruisers in precise
formations locked in mortal combat while the strains of 'Bolero' or
the 'New World Symphony' play in the background is simply awesome.
Hope you enjoy the mailing list.
