Despite Youjo Senki being a sort of Isekai, at the core there are strong similarities. Both are about a German Empire and a very intellectual focus on military strategy. Ginga Eiyuu is set in an interplanetary scifi setting, whilst Youjo Senki is set in an alternate history WW1/WW2 European front. In both anime, you have a German MC who is very strategic. Reinhard in Ginga, Tanya in Youjo. The art style is nearly identical too. Both anime are very enjoyable if you like a high brow intellectual MC who makes smart decisions and isn't some screaming shonen.

I believe everyone who has watched both shows is gonna agree with me when I say that Char/Casval and Reinhard are very similar in many aspects, like how both of them were comitted to overthrowing a bigger power that made them suffer, and even in how they did so. But what really makes LoGH a strong recommendation for Advent of the Red Comet's fans is how one show complements the other.

Similar premise and setting: an ongoing war between an imperialistic galactic monarchy and a democratic military allaince, set in the distant future. Also, both sides feature military prodigies who become fierce rivals with each other.

Both Galactic Heroes and Gundam Unicorn are epic space operas featuring sprawling intergalactic battles between two large scale military factions. Because of the similar settings and premise, along with both boasting high production values, watching one reminded me of the other.

Similarity: Both have their war genius, and like Yang Wen-li, Sokta hate war. Questioning the war itself. Starting as a low ranking officer both have to obey the dubious orders from their commanders.
