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?
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. Captain Harlock returns home in his battle cruiser, and confronts a populace that blames him and warriors like him for not being there to protect the planet..... and Harlock goes about trying to lead a resistance, and adopts the fighting strategy of ancient marauders.

The year is Universal Century 0079 and mankind is yet again at war. The space colony Side 3 has declared itself the Principality of Zeon and has separated itself from the Earth Federation. In a raid on the colony Side 7, Zeon troops force a band of civilians, military recruits and one green ensign to escape on a previously unseen class of ship with prototype Federation mobile suits. Among them is Amuro Ray, who piloted the Gundam during the raid on Side 7. Unfortunately, his mastery of it earns him the responsibility of using it in the war against Zeon...
Both Gundam and Star Blazers are space operas that entail epic journeys through space with detailed characters and relationships.
A strange spaceship crashes onto the island of South Ataria, throwing the world into disarray over its fate. Thus begin the Unification Wars, a worldwide war that eventually unites the planet under the governance of the United Nations. Now, a decade later, the reconstruction of the crashed alien craft – dubbed "Macross" – is complete. However, on the day of its christening, the Macross unexpectedly fires and destroys several approaching Zentradi spaceships. The last hope of Earth, the Macross, begins to wage a lonely war; but what hopes can one ship have when facing against an entire alien race?
Both are old sci-fi space opera adventure type animes, and in both the protagonist are fighting aliens off from taking over and destroying the earth. If you liked one you will most likely like the other.
In 2052, mankind has spread to planets across the galaxy, living in peace and harmony. But when a mysterious vessel arrives at Earth, human life as we know it is virtually destroyed in the blink of an eye. Invaders from a destroyed planet have been searching the galaxy for a new world, and they're out to take Earth by force for their own. Now, against all odds, Colin Collins and a skilled military team must fight to save their race with the help of an experimental submarine and spacecraft.
I've admittedly not seen more than a few episodes of Yamato, but based on what I saw these two series have a remarkably similar feel. That's to be expected I suppose given the same person was involved in both titles. Each is an old school sci fi tale, though Yamato is more of an adventure while Blue Noah is more of an ongoing battle with aliens.
