Anime Space Epic

What an amazing series. Really, I mean there are things to dislike about it for sure, for instance the score can get a bit repetitive and the battle sequences can last entire episodes (not necessarily a bad thing). After all, the battle sequences are very elaborate and the animation is stellar.

There are elements of different series you may have seen, and liked or not, that you might compare with Heroic Age. Series such as Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and all the complexity of a solid anime drama.

Seriously, don't miss out on this series. You won't regret giving your time to watch it. The English Dub is just about the best I've ever heard for anime that isn't a feature film. Usually, when I watch anime I prefer to watch with English subtitles and the original voice cast, but the subtitle text was difficult to make out, with a bright background. The English voice cast is superb on this one. Watch it on Blu-Ray, it will blow your mind.

Don't listen to me, watch and determine for yourself that Heroic Age is anime of a high order. Always venture outside the Star-way.
