English Dub Review: Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These “The Battle of Astarte”

But did we win the war?

Overview (Spoilers Below)

Reinhard continues on his cut through the commander of the opposition’s 2nd fleet after destroying the previous battalions via a risky strategy. The opposition’s leader, Yang, pulls a bait and switch which gains the ire of Reinhard’s more seasoned critics when it comes to military planning.

Our Take

Aaron Dismuke’s performance was MUCH better this time around in his delivery as Reinhard, way more menacing and convincing than in the show’s first episode. If you are someone that enjoys series about military strategy, that’s essentially everything this show is about at its core. We really haven’t seen anything else that you should give a shit about just yet. Fortunately, the space scenes are eye candy, definitely on a similar level to Star Blazers in terms of prowess, however, the art direction and action aren’t nearly as polished.

Score
6/10
