It might seem cliche to recommend one franchise's compilation anime for another, but the tone, variety of story and overall dark themes will definitely appeal to fans of either title. Animatrix, in my opinion, is WAY better than Halo Legends, but if you're in the mood for a sci fi compilation produced by the best studios Japan has to offer, both of these should please.

These series of short OVA's are very similar in terms of design and production, both relating short stories of the Matrix and Halo universe, giving them some more background. Each episode are produced by different studios with a different artwork. Both packs are very enjoyable to watch even if you're not a big fan of the main sources.

Batman: Gotham Knight and Halo: Legends are collections of animated shorts based off of a larger franchise (Batman and Halo respectively).  Each short in both collections are done by a different studio and in different animation styles.  There is a nice variety in both collections and if you like one of these collections then you will probably like the other.

Super Robot Wars OG: Divine Wars

Two centuries have passed since man began colonizing space. The Earth Federation, which governs the human race, has known of the existence of hostile aliens for the past seven years and has been preparing for an invasion. However, while they see military force as the answer, others would rather surrender to the aliens in exchange for their lives. Taking advantage of the confusion, an organization called the Divine Crusaders declares the Earth Federation unfit to protect the planet and plunges humanity into a bloody civil war. Now only a small band of heroes - pilots of experimental super robots - can save the day. Pressured by a desperate Earth Federation government and faced with conflict on all sides, can this mottled group of individuals find the courage to not only end the civil war, but to also defend all of humanity?

Star Blazers: The Quest for Iscandar

Star Blazers: The Quest for Iscandar

In the year 2199, unrelenting attacks from the planet Gamilus have forced all life on Earth into underground dwellings and raised radiation levels to near-toxic levels. The only way to clean up all this harmful radiation is by using the Cosmo Cleaner, which the Queen of the planet Iscandar has generously offered to humanity. Unfortunately, Iscandar is 148,000 light years away, but Earth only has one year before rising radiation levels make it uninhabitable! The only vessel capable of making the journey is the battleship Yamato - a rusty relic of World War II. Can the crew of the Yamato make it to Iscandar and back before the extinction of all life on Earth?

Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative

Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative

U.C. 0097, one year after the opening of "Laplace's Box." Despite the revelation of the Universal Century Charter that acknowledges the existence and rights of Newtypes, the framework of the world has not been greatly altered. The conflict later dubbed the "Laplace Incident" is thought to have ended with the downfall of the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves. In its final battle, two full psycho-frame mobile suits displayed power beyond human understanding. The white unicorn and the black lion were sealed away to remove this danger from people's consciousness, and they should now be completely forgotten. However, the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, which disappeared two years earlier, is now about to show itself in the Earth Sphere once more. A golden phoenix... named Phenex.
