Season 5 is coming!
Summary:
- Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These sequel was announced.
- No release date for now, but the previous season will be rebroadcast in 2024.
- Fans wish the series was more popular.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou) is an ongoing military sci-fi anime series that started back in 2018. It is an adaptation and reimagining of the original Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
The story focuses on the rivalry between two military geniuses. Reinhard von Lohengramm, a high admiral of the Galactic Empire, wishes to conquer the galaxy and rule mankind. Yang Wen-li of The Free Planets Alliance, a democratic representation in the series, dreams of peace. The story explores their opposition as well as military struggles of their parties.
Not popular doesn’t mean bad
Although the series wasn’t met with any extraordinary hype and is going rather quietly with its average ratings, fans say it’s a mistake. Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These is a tremendously good sci-fi series with intriguing characters, and viewers are upset that the show went under the radar for many. However, it looks like the series is unpopular only in the western modern anime community. In Japan, the sales have been pretty adequate, and the anime is doing well.
No release date yet
The sequel to Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These has been announced and fans say it’s exactly what they were hoping to see on the 5th anniversary event of the series. There aren’t any particular details about the release date or broadcasting information for now. All the fans have is a small teaser trailer.
The fourth season of Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These is going to be rebroadcast on TV in Japan starting from January 2024, so fans don’t expect the sequel to come out earlier than 2025. But there’s still hope to see a new opening for season 4 during the rebroadcasting.
Fans seem really happy to learn the news about the sequel and excited to see more of the story. There have been worries about Legend of the Galactic Heroes being forgotten or done, so viewers were pleasantly surprised to learn it wasn’t true.
Fans also wish for the series to become bigger and more popular, as they have a strong feeling that it’s underrated. For example, Crunchyroll hasn’t even dubbed season 4 (yet, fans hope!). It’s rumored that the director spoke up about the situation and mentioned that the streaming service hadn’t even contacted her about dubbing the series.
