Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gaiden (1999)

Good stuff. Yang's backstory is defiantly the highlight though.

A prequel to The Legend of the Galactic Heroes, focusing on the FPA's Yang Wen-li. A chronicle on how he earned the title "The Hero of El Facile" and his handling of assignments he received after the historic event. Spiral Labyrinth also continues with the background of Reinhard and Kircheis where the first Gaiden left off.

If you liked the main OVA, watch these. They're pretty good.

Dirt_Claude

The animation and OP quality drop hard here. But the story is still engaging. I'd say this is the weakest bit of LotGH.

The best part of this OVA are the Reinhard and Kircheis segments.

Anters

Very low budget after a season season 1. Animation and artstyle looked very poor and the arcs outside of the first were quite boring.

Aijou

An excellent prequel.
