ANIME LIKE LEGEND OF THE GALACTIC HEROES SERIES

The spaceships too - for as far as they are distinguishable in their wobbly CGI - look notably worse than they did before, with their overcomplicated and unpractical designs, the culmination being Flagship BrГјnhild, which looks more like an artist's impression of Yog-Sothoth from Devianart.

anime-y, which undermines the more grounded approach to storytelling the original series preferred, and besides the viewer's immersion. The characters are mostly taken plainly from the OVA but made more. The new designs are a rather awkward as well. A preference for more cinematic angles is understandable, but the frames are filled to the brim with uncomfortably close characters, overdesigned props, unconvincing CGI, and lens flares - all in all a nauseating experience. And how ironic, that a series set in the vastness of space can feel so crowded. Computer Generated Imagery is prominently used to create the space battles, despite being not very good, which is a bit of a bother, seeing how there is hardly a shot without any.

Since the script obviously was not the creators' focus, one might suspect the reboot to mainly profit from a graphical advancement, and indeed there was room enough to improve upon the not-so-high-budget 80's animation of the original, but the filmmakers have bitten off more than they could chew. Even more so because of the clumsily written fragments of dialogue left over, which serve to further the plot and nothing else: The essential actions are represented well, but the lack of depth results in diminished involvement in the events. Because many of the standalone, more personal episodes (like 'The Actress Exits') have been cut out, the world building and character development - which was surprisingly good in the original - suffer. Unfortunately, the new series has not so much cut the crap as swung a scythe through the script, severely damaging the quality of the writing. The original series' 110 episodes featured - especially in the first two seasons - some that could be considered filler, and a deliberate cropping could have resulted in a more focussed main story. The creators were right when they decided that the story could use some trimming. Thus, 30 years later, the series has been rebooted, although 'reskinned an dumbed down' might be a more accurate term, for 'Die Neue These' has failed on mostly every level to improve upon the original. With not even 1,500 user ratings on IMDb, it would be hard to call the original 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes' a hit, but the series (based upon the novels by Tanaka Yoshiki) has gained a reputation as a cult classic, growing a dedicated fan base and proving the potential of its concept.
