Official synopsis: Legends clash again in the enthralling reboot of this classic space drama series! Caught in a 150-year-long war, interstellar nations reach the pinnacle of strategic combat at the hands of two genius leaders. Reinhard of the Galactic Empire and Yang of the Free Planets Alliance are prodigies driven by their own ideals, and on the battlefield of the universe, their rivalry knows no bounds.
The original anime adaptation of Yoshiki Tanaka’s sci-fi novel series was first released as a series of OVAs between 1988 and 1997, followed by several side stories in the following years. At 110 (+52 side story episodes!) episodes in total, Legend of the Galactic Heroes still reigns as the longest OVA series of all time!
