The story is somewhat similar in Vandread and Star Blazers, as the crew of the Nirvana in Vandread is trying to rescue humanity from an imposing threat, and must venture to the far reaches of space to find what they are looking for. If you were a fan of one of these series, you should give the other a try.

Very different in style, but both deal with the idea of a crew in space and the larger context of a large space war. You should definitely enjoy it.

Arcadia Of My Youth is a film featuring one of Leiji Matsumoto's creations, Captain Harlock. In this movie, aliens of the Illumidus Empire conquer Earth and enslave humanity.

Both Gundam and Star Blazers are space operas that entail epic journeys through space with detailed characters and relationships.
