Simple sci-fi question.
posted 1 year ago by Smith1980 1 year ago by Smith1980 +24 / -0

What is your favorite type of sci-fi? For me since Ive always been interested in life in the universe/space exploration, anything regarding that. I love golden age sci-fi and reading what they thought we would do in space back in the 40s and 50s

Heinlein is one of my all time favorites. Currently reading Cat Who Walks Through Walls. Loved Babylon 5. Will have to check on the others you mentioned. I do hate how the “it’s always been woke/political” crowd can’t tell the difference between in world politics and a ham fisted diatribe that some fresh gender studies grad writes

I'll give you fair warning...

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a VERY long run. There's ten books. And two animes. The original (OVA) ran for four seasons and the only practical way to get it is downloads. It's also very crude and has some pacing issues.

The REMAKE (called Die Neue These) is incomplete, only covering about half the material so far, although more is on the way. I got Aaron Claery to do a boomer review of the first four episodes, and he thought it was good but not something he'd continue. "It's better than Baldur's Gate 3." -CaptainCapitalism

The overarching MESSAGE of the story though is whether the benevolent, competent dictatorship is better than the incompetent, corrupt democracy. With the implication at the end that constitutional monarchy is probably the best humanity can hope for long term.

You can stream the ova off 4anime.gg right now. Of course, sites like that come and go, so there's no telling how long it'll be available.

Sounds interesting! What does OVA mean?

Original Video Animation. Means it went direct to sale instead of airing on tv.

Here's the quality of the OVA...

And here's OP2 of the remake.

As you can see, there's about 30 years of improvement in animation. But both versions have their merits. The most important thing to bear in mind, is that the battles are always stupid. The author... wanted Napoleonic war in space.
