- Both show the enmity between two "nations" (Alliance vs Empire / Eldia vs Marley)
None of these nations represents Absolute Good or Absolute Evil, both are corrupted by warmongering with indoctrinated citizens, but there are characters who are a "beam of hope."
- We are shown societies that live by and for War, since they have been fighting for centuries (in the case of Shingeki... Eldia vs Titans and Marley vs other nations).
- In Shingeki, Marley constantly uses the word "Demon" to define the enemy. In Galactic Heroes, the Alliance also defines the Empire as "diabolical".
- Both have important "Declaration of War on the Enemy" scenes.

"There are no such things as 'wars between absolute good and absolute evil' in human history. Instead, there exist wars between one subjective good and another subjective good, and conflicts between one righteous faith and another righteous faith. In the case of a unilateral war of aggression, the

Well first off they are both very well written and feel like there whole plots were thought out and planned from the start. They both feature many different factions in their respective wars however mostly focus on three (The Galactic empire, Free planets alliance, and the Dominion of fezzan) for Ginga eiyuu densetsu and (Marley, Global Alliance and the yeagerists) for Attack on titan final season.
