I’m starting to slowly work my way through the Legend of the Galactic Heroes and this show goes so hard.

Yang hates his fucking job. He gets a half-assed promotion and is expected to work miracles.

The liberal democracy faction in the war has a fascist paramilitary at the president’s command lmao

Space anime for history dads - such a mood.

The animation is gorgeous, too.

I’m sure I’ll be sick of this shit after 100 episodes of it, but I’m living for it now lol.

    The main styles I pick up are Great Man Theory (history is pushed by those who are born great) and Whig History (liberal democracy is the inevitable outcome of civilization).

    It really is aggravating in the show and so lazily explained why all events depend on like two people.

    If you were hoping for systems based explanations, those go against the ideology of GMT & Whig history

    Also if that annoys you then imagine this, Whig history is the primary lens the Anglo-sphere teaches/uses (hence the whole end of history comment)
