If you watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes expecting some great political drama and were disappointed, I recommend Oooku. In Oooku, you get protagonists of different ages, genders and backgrounds responding to a catastrophe in their own ways. In that situation, the decisions of the characters and their interactions affect the political and social landscape of a nation. I found it a fascinating watch.
However, for an entertaining series of battles involving two young men with seemingly superhuman abilities, go for Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Somewhat shallower than I expected from all the praise, but still good to watch.
