About Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden: Spiral Labyrinth

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden: Spiral Labyrinth (銀河英雄伝説外伝 螺旋迷宮) blends drama and sci-fi by J.C.STAFF and Artland (1999). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: A prequel to Legend of Galactic Heroes, focusing more on Yang Wen-li; how he became the hero of El Facile and how he handled a couple of assignments he received afterward. Spiral Labyrinth also continues with the background of Reinhard and Kircheis where the first Gaiden left off.

As things develop, a collection of independent short stories taking place prior to the Overture to a New War, some of which are adapted from the novel and some of which are completely original.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Wenli Yang (Hozumi Gouda) and Reinhard von Lohengramm (Ryou Horikawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. At 28 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
