Overview
For decades, the Galactic Empire has been locked in an interstellar war with the Free Planets Alliance, a conflict that involves thousands of spaceships and millions of soldiers on both sides. Two new commanders enter the conflict with great hopes: Imperial Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm and the FPA's Yang Wen-Li. As they deal with superiors and subordinates, maneuver through complicated political arrangements, plot strategies, and win battles, each will be tested, and ultimately, changed, by the reality of war.

Center
Primary
Legend of the Galactic Heroes earns a neutral rating by offering a balanced and nuanced critique of both autocratic and democratic systems, highlighting the inherent flaws and potential for corruption in all forms of governance and among all types of leaders. It consciously balances competing viewpoints and critiques ideological extremes from both sides equally.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes, as a Japanese anime, does not feature explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles, as such roles are not inherent to its original context. The narrative focuses on political philosophy and human nature, offering critiques of power structures and systems rather than explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively or making DEI themes central.
Secondary
Legend of the Galactic Heroes does not feature any explicitly identified LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The extensive narrative focuses on political and military conflicts, with character relationships primarily depicted as platonic or heterosexual, leading to an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The series 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes' (1988) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on interstellar warfare and political intrigue, with no elements related to transsexual identity or experiences.
The series primarily focuses on large-scale space battles, political intrigue, and strategic warfare. No significant female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The 1988–1997 anime adaptation of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" faithfully portrays the characters' genders as established in the original novels. There are no instances where a character canonically established as one gender is depicted as a different gender in the series.
The original 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes' anime (1988–1997) adapts a science fiction novel series. Characters' specific Earth-based racial identities are not explicitly established in the source material or visually unambiguous in a way that would allow for a 'race swap' in the adaptation.
