Tytania

It is made by the same author and some of the same people worked on both. Both are space operas with empires fighting against rebel fleets and both have the same atmosphere as of the first episode. Its kind of early in the series to say they are the same but I can safely say that both Tytania and LOGH have the same feel. Battles in both emphasize tactics and fleet movements in three-dimensional space. Tytania is a bit more modernized including communications networks obviously descended from the Internet and other such ideas.

One look at Tytania's opening, which is almost entirely dedicated to showing close-ups of serious business male faces (and the occasional spaceship), would set any LotGH ho... lover's heart a flutter. The OP/ED even break up the two halves of the cast, just like in LotGH's. Don't let the brief shot of a girl with antenna hair fool you! Tytania was written by LotGH's author and its anime was directed by the same director. Although no famous classical music is used, rest assured that an orchestra performed the soundtrack. There's the same ancient nobility setting / attire blended with spaceships that comes across so un-futuristic it would be a period piece if not for spaceships. And just like LotGH had manly men charge at lasers with axes - and win - brute force wins out in Tytania as military goons with guns opt to run at the main characters. Think of Tytania as mini-LotGH, complete with a less talky female narrator and no "another page in history" previews. Unlike LotGH elitists and underage anime fans yet to experience the... joys of LotGH, I went into Tytania happy that it was smaller scale and didn't throw 100 characters on both side of an intergalactic war at me. That was its main appeal. 26eps > 110eps. The colour-coded (seriously) four dukes dynamic as they vie for power by trying to catch the unwitting rebel Fan was great, and Reinhard's equivalent, Jusran, made for a surprisingly more interesting character than Reinhard himself: not caring about his clan's power and certain to do what Reinhard did in LotGH by changing the empire from within later. But Tytania's greatest strength turned out to be its greatest weakness: NOTHING HAPPENED. And since the anime is a faithful adaptation of an unfinished series of novels, it's paced like it had 110eps and just... ends. After more brute force HULKMAN silliness. Fan Hyulick is an edited Yang Wenli... which is to say Yang without being a convincing genius (no basis beyond luck, where as Yang used his knowledge of history), lacking any principles (such as Yang's unbending love of democracy) and doing nothing but meander around. And I'm not joking: Fan spent the entire series wandering around with a JRPG-esque party aimlessly; doing nothing to validate his existence other than existing as the four dukes drank tea and discussed Fan / their power struggle. But, regardless, Fan winning when he wasn't supposed to as his government wanted rid of him, being laid-back / lazy and lacking military discipline is too obvious to ignore. Tytania does do a few things that LotGH should've, such as having female characters of significance / a sexual side. There's even a cute little princess who, as the narrator liked informing me, is going to be important... later. The problem is, later is never since it's an unfinished anime adaptation of unfinished novels. Having CG for spaceships was another plus point over LotGH's non-animation 2D warfare. The problem is, there was never any sodding space battles: rather than a war between two halves of space, Tytania deals with an oppressive empire very much in control of all. For every positive Tytania had over LotGH, there was at least one negative. read more

Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Tytania both have the same director and original creator, they both are space operas about great galactic coflict, and much, much more in common. Similarities go so far, that Tytania have been already named by fans "Legend of the Galactic Heroes 2008"

report Recommended by Yata-sama

Original stories of both series(manga/light novels) come from the same author. Both series are of mainly space opera genre; the sorta story which focuses on military/politics/strategy. Although a bit sci-fi and post-apocalyptic , they don't focus on high-tech weapons and robot action. They are also similar in the fact that main protagonists are excellent military strategists.

War, Political Intrigue, Space Empires, Skilled Tacticians, Strong Personalities. If you like of those themes, you will love both of this extraordinary animes made by Artland.

Space opera, war, strategy and politics, aristocrat aesthetics. It really shows these two were written by the same author.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes creates a more detailed and interesting world then Tytania's. The plot is much more complicated and there are a lot of characters with likeable personalities. I would recommend LoGH to anyone interested in political and millitary themes in anime.

report Recommended by Diana_Sofia

They are both adapted from novels of Yoshiki Tanaka, and are Space Opera with many politics aspects. Tytania is really similar to LoGH in many aspects, the designs are similar, the worldbuilding and characters look really close... Tytania is not as good as LoGH but great for every fans of Space Opera and of the author.
