Part of the backstory for Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Does any of this sound familiar?

Marked as NSFW because of the scenes of nude fat women.
I figured the rest of the collage made up for it, but I still decided to play it safe, not wanting this taken down on a technicality.
More like NSFL, I can hear the heart attacks in the pixels!
Some people say you can't smell a picture. I can smell that picture. And that's not a good thing.
No more offensive than the herds of morbidly obese landwhales roaming the streets IRL.
No one takes life any lighter than the CEO's, and governments making choices that negatively effect billions for a quick buck.
Of all the Animes we could have lived through…
Making all the strippers hamplanets was especially prescient
Heinlen's vision of the fall of society looked much the same.
I have to believe Yoshiki Tanaka read Heinlein.
It'd be a fair bet that LOGH was inspired in part by Heinlen's work yeah.
I need to read it. I do love Heinlein.
Starship Troopers is something that, once you've read it, you realize just how much other sci-fi is ripped off of it.
One of if not my favorite sci-fi book. Although I wonder how much of that is due to having been in the military and coming from a military family. I do love the ideals as well as the idea of earning citizenship
It's heavily based on the Roman model of citizenship, something also well worth reading up on.
Thanks! Any recommendations for a book on the Roman Empire? I’ve always wondered how the country would look if only veterans could vote
Those kinds of books are both marvelous and depressing. Foundation being the forerunner to everything from Dune to 40k to Episode I is amazing, given it's three ok-ish short stories.
It's also something, that once you read it, and then compare it to the Lefty reviews, realize how shite the left has been for how long. When a Canuck hippie becomes Heinlein's protege and writes the best defense of his work (rah, RAH, R.A.H.!), it gets very hard to take the whinging about him seriously.
Starship Troopers is so deep that it has about 8 different layers, including a self-deprecating layer where the main character is essentially making fun of how glamorous the writer makes his life look.

does anyone know if the original light novel series was ever translated to English? if nothing else this series needs to be time capsuled and made required reading for high schoolers worldwide.
The first couple volumes are
I read the first 3 in English. I know there's more, just other stuff took priority for me. I'll get back to them eventually.
