Humanity has stretched its reach into space and has settled onto a number of planets. For the past several hundred years, though, most of man’s territory has been politically and militarily dominated by the Tytania clan. However, their grip of power begins to shake when an admiral from Euria, Fan Hulic, preposterously manages to win a battle against an armada commanded by a Tytanian duke. Now wanted by Tytania, Fan Hulic flees from one planet to another. His travels will lead him to many places and many people, all of whom finally have hope that the hated Tytania can finally be defeated.
The war between the monarchical Galactic Empire and the democratic Free Planets Alliance has raged ceaselessly across the galaxy for over a century, with the fleets of both powers having fought countless battles. Currently the conflict revolves around the strategic Iserlohn Corridor, one of only two passages of space through which the two forces can access each other. Here the Empire has built the nigh-impregnable Iserlohn Fortress, whose deadly weaponry has thwarted repeated efforts by the Alliance to capture her. Phezzan, a neutral mercantile state, controls the other corridor. The long war has resulted in an indecisive stalemate, but there are two men from the two worlds who will change everything: Yang Wenli, a gifted strategist from the Alliance who wants nothing more than to retire and be a historian; and Reinhard von Lohengramm, a man from the Empire whose ambition knows no bounds. Their loves, struggles, triumphs and failures play across an interstellar stage of intrigue, war and death.
Both series were created by Dr. Yoshiki Tanaka and are set in a futuristic inter-planetary spanning human civilisation. Both series have a strong reliance on character development with space battles being linchpins in the storyline rather than just a series of explosions and flashing lights designed to catch the wayward attention of the audience. There are similarities in character within the 2 series with the most obvious case being Yang Wen Li (LoGH) and Fan Hulic (Tytania). The general story line of political intrigue and subtle questions about different forms of government and their effects on the people who grow up within such systems is a characteristic of both series.
Large galactice empires with a fair dash of Prussian/Germanic influence, large space battles decided by famous generals, conspiracies, plots, and strange alliances.
The characters are fairly similar. Both of these have a somewhat disinterested yet extremely talented main character as well as equally brilliant counterparts in the opposing factions. They are both done in space opera style and feature massive space battles and political intrigue.
From the creator of the epic Legend of the Galactic Heroes comes tytania. The spirit of the two main protagonists Reinhard and Yang come back into two knew characters. This series is a good successor to one of the most epic animes of all time
The future of humanity is in peril, as they are confronted with the threat of an intergalactic clash with a warrior-like alien race, and the only one who can save them is... Captain Tylor?! Join a crew of misfits and rejects including an alcoholic doctor, a gorgeous nurse, an anal-retentive commander and a bunch of really stupid marines as they try to make it out in space and to discover whether their captain is a misunderstood genius or a total moron like he seems to be.
Captain Tylor and Fan Hulic are very similar characters. They are chosen to fail, and surprising everyone they succeeded instead. The unexpected success causes both protagonists many troubles. They both appear to be morons, but both seem to have a mind for strategies. The supporting characters also like and follow the main goofs.
