there are only 5 shorties in them:) the anime just made the first story.
nothing much differs in the anime except that they cut a lot of backgrd

history and warfare into a abt 1 hr anime slot so....
it's the same as for lgh the tv anime (i have only seen until epi 20+ i
think),
the beginning of the novels detailed the how and why rise of the goldenbaum
empire and how the federation came to being (the dissendents and their
somewhat spectacular escape) but i dont think the anime had all of
this in the beginning of the anime.....O.O
