Description

A little while ago, I watched the old classic Legend of Galactic Heroes.  But what motivated me to make some fan art was seeing some screenshots of the remake.  While the remake looks very fancy, I felt like the designs they used weren't as good at telling the story.


These awkward, long, and narrow ships may not be very fancy, but they drove home to the audience why the tactics being used were so important.  When the admiral orders the fleet to turn, there's no question of why that leaves them vulnerable, or why it is something they would hesitate to do.


Here we have a view of the lucky battleship Ulysses 913-D.

Is the remake any good? The character art I see in screencaps from a search looks kinda crappy, 

I only saw a few episodes of the original back in the day at anime conventions (before DVD's or the internet), so I had no idea what was going on.

hi hi


I haven't seen the remake, only the trailers and a few short clips on youtube.  It certainly looks like they had a higher budget, but I share the sentiment that the visual design looks worse.  More polished, but the characters look less distinct, and the ships and set design looks less functional.  That's not to say that the original was perfect, they clearly had a limited budget to animate, but they were still able to give things a distinct character and visual identity.


I only got a chance to watch the original because a friend of mine let me borrow it.
