Recycling the old In my opinion, this anime is a reworking of the older title "The Legend of Galactic Heroes". Plus a palpable twist of Last Exile. And all this is well seasoned with modern "appearance" and voila get Aldnoah.Zero. For example, there is the Galactic Empire and the Federation and then the Versa Empire and the Alliance, there is a duel of two geniuses and here different but brilliant fighters, there for the formation of one of the main characters the motivation was inequality and oppression from the rotten aristocracy and here, there this hero comes to power through complex compromises and winding paths and here, there this protagonist has a devoted assistant and a friend from the simple here and so on. Why do you really want to go bad? It is unlikely that someone in the modern total narrative information field will watch the old anime. Well, one thing seems true to me, so let's say the "copy" is much inferior in quality to the original. For some reason, this applies to most modern anime. . .
