La leyenda de los héroes de la galaxia: La nueva tesis

As a fan of the original anime I was cautiously excited to check out this reboot. One of the major drawbacks of the original was the animation particularly in space battles. I oozed excitement at the thought of these flaws being improved upon using modern computer generated imagery. However, I came to be deeply disappointed enough to come here and write this review.

The storytelling is extremely fast and leaves the viewer confused. In one episode alone, Yang Wen-li goes from a cadet barely out of diapers to Rear Admiral in the span of 25 minutes. Huge jumps in time leave the viewer perplexed as to what's going on, and historical expositions come off as lazy as they could have been cleverly mentioned offhand or in a context that made sense for the arc. The plot moves at the speed of light and gives no time for the viewer to relax and attempt to understand the bigger picture.
