Banner of the Stars II (2000–2005)
7/10
Good show. One of the last of its type.

While not as strong as Legend of the Galactic heroes, this is certainly a good watch. It borrows from LOTGH while also managing to include clear nods to Star Trek II (bits of the theme are mighty close to James Horner's score and the main character is very similar to Lt. Saavik. Even the key situation for the first episode is similar).

Production quality is good, although sound design could have used a bit more work. Animation style is nice as well.

One fault would be that this series is just too short. It really could use more time. Fortunately there's a second part, although I didn't find the second installment to be as strong.

For the person who checks this review, it's worth noting that this is mis-named on IMDB. This is not part II; it's part one. The series listed on IMDB as part III is actually part II.
