Space Battleship Yamato (1977) & Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988): Anime Space Epics

This week, we're venturing into the world of anime to explore two shows that have expanded and redefined the Space Opera genre. First, we dive into Space Battleship Yamato (1974-75), a 70s classic that set the stage for future anime like Gundam and Evangelion and became known as Starblazers in the US. Then, we tackle the sprawling epic Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988-97), a series that chronicles a 150-year-long war and delves deep into the complexities of power, politics, and war in space. Join us as we discuss how these anime series offer a unique perspective on Space Opera and their lasting impact on the genre. Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!
