The Anime Order

11 suggestions, most-recommended first

Anime like Legend of the Galactic Heroes

188 people recommend Gundam to anyone who liked Legend of the Galactic Heroes — more than any other title. Lady Oscar: The Rose of Versailles is second on 97 votes and Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199 third on 93. Eight more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Three of the eleven have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished Legend of the Galactic Heroes and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Gundam follows Legend of the Galactic Heroes, only that 188 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

3 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: Gundam , Code Geass , 86 Eighty-Six .

Keep going
