Sentai if they still have it.

It's very difficult.. There might be a remake version. 

There is no dub for the original series.(there is a theoretical test dub from Ocean as a work in concept, but they lost the rights and did not continue after doing one or two episodes).

I checked the Japanese official site and even the Japanese streaming site is dead.  I think the only way is to get the home release.

There has never been a dub for Legend Of The Galactic Heroes. Ever. And given the size of the English-language male voice acting population, there probably never will be enough actors to fill the cast.

And the only legal route to watch the original OVA is to purchase the physical release.
