So Legend of the Galactic Heroes has an epic cast of over 600 named characters, and even more problematic is that many of their names are insanely long and complex. So we decided to throw all that out, and it really became a fun game to find all these people memorable and easy to recall nicknames. This list will be updated as we review each part and new characters rise in prominence.

We have just passed the halfway mark in Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I can’t say that I has any clue that season 2 would end like it did but that shows you why this anime is considered a classic. We have lost great charaters, learned about some new amazing people, and seen everyone one else grow over the course of the first two seasons. The way the game is being played has been utterly changed but the quality storytelling remains.
It’s rather obvious at this point that you are fully gripped by Legend of the Galactic Heroes to make it this far. But that is completely understandable. Legend of the Galactic Heroes always has an ending that leaves you enraptured, it isn’t a cliffhanger but more of the opening of a new door, and then from the very start the next arc intrigues you about what can happen next. The emotional investment in the series was quite high for me going into part three, it is a series that really takes the characters and solidifies them in your mind, but with that comes some difficult moments as well. Legend of the Galactic Heroes part three does so much in terms of making this series one of the most memorable anime ever.
