What Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Overture to a New War Is About
This 1993 Japanese animation is an interstitial film that remakes and expands the opening episodes of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. After the Battle of Astate, Reinhard and Yang return to their own sides: one a rising nobleman, the other a reluctant hero. The film retells the events of the main series' first two episodes with more detailed production. What distinguishes the series shows here too: it gives as much room to parliamentary argument, supply lines and political calculation as to battle. It was designed as an entry point for new viewers, but watched on its own the crowd of characters can be overwhelming. The animation was high-budget for its time, and the use of classical music is the series' signature. Who it's for: anime viewers who like space opera and political fiction. Who it's not for: anyone with no knowledge of the series, or wanting a fast, short narrative.
