The two series are space military science fiction animes. Both series show a very active war between the two empires, but while Legend focuses more on an ongoing war between two superpowers of comparable power, in Yamato one of them is on the verge of defeat and the anime covers an expedition to a far world that can win the war if they succeed. The strategy is equally important in both, but in Legend they can last several episodes or arcs and have effects some time later, while in Yamato it is generally limited to solving the typical situations of each episode. Both have that classic aesthetic of old spaceships, it contrasts a lot with the futurism that is the fashion now. Although this style has obviously been renewed in Yamato, it still retains the classic charm. It also applies to the design of the Yamato characters, they still have the original visual style but have been adapted to modern times very satisfactorily. Ironically, they are now one of my favorite modern anime designs. Both series have a strong policy component, but Legend has the same importance as military strategy. In Yamato it is simply limited to the fact that because the rival empire is a monarchy with high nobility, all those who lead the enemy combat forces against the Yamato have some importance in their empire. But that does not come to be exploited despite some good opportunities. Yamato undoubtedly has better action scenes and a certain point of suspense. Legend on the other hand, does not need that.

Although the atmosphere can vary a lot, the two series share a lot in common. From the technical section, the animation and the soundtrack of both series is sublime. They are worth it simply because they are so beautiful. Whether it's a lush forest or abandoned ruins, it transmits a calm and very relaxing serenity. And their music adapts wonderfully to their situations. And with respect to their argument, both series, although they have relative continuity in their episodes (especially Girls Last Tour), are rather a collection of oneshots. Exploring new situations and events in each chapter. But what I like most about both of them and what makes one remind me of the other is how they portray the loneliness of the trip and how it affects its characters in different ways. But at the same time, not sharing the same conditions for their characters, makes them very different series so one series does not step on the other. My most sincere opinion is that both complement each other wonderfully.

Both works have the same author, the same kind of art, the same kind of cruel and mysterious but beautiful world and the same feelings.
