They Were Eleven
Synopsis:
Tada is a young man on the fast track to the Cosmo Academy -- a school which only accepts applicants every three years, and whose entrance rate is under 1%. Having passed all the prior exams, the final test is drawing near: survive for 53 days aboard a derelict spaceship with only 9 other would-be cadets to assist you. But much to the dismay of Tada and his peers, their ship has acquired an eleventh member! Can the crew band together to survive the test? Or will sabotage simply destroy them from within...

Infinite Ryvius
Alt titles: Mugen no Ryvius
What happens when authority and consequence are removed? When the inmates truly run the asylum. On the spaceship Ryvius there are those who would fight for order, and many more who would fight to destroy it. Love, hate, anger, greed, avarice, and perhaps hope are the fuel for the Ryvius, and only one can save those who call it home...

add recThey Were Eleven and Infinite Ryvius feature the same kind of themes: a bunch of people stuck in narrow space. This takes its toll on the characters, especially psychologically, and the true essence of their personalities surfaces. Who will handle the pressure and stay calm? Who will freak out, who will go insane? People change as the genetical instincts slowly but surely grow stronger within them. Both series depict this change very well. That, and how different leadership doctrines lead to very different outcomes.
Twin Spica
Alt titles: Futatsu no Spica
When Asumi was just a baby, a space shuttle accident changed her life, and the lives of the townspeople of Yuigahama, forever.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars
Alt titles: Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Waga Yuku wa Hoshi no Taikai
- Movie
- 1988
Imperial Admiral Reinhard von Musell is an ambitious, aspiring young admiral within the Galactic Empire, who has earned the animosity of his peers; they believe that he has reached his position only due to his sister’s influence with Kaiser Goldenbaum, earning him the nickname of "the Admiral under the skirt." Meanwhile, Alliance Commodore Yang Wenli, fresh from his heroic victory against overwhelming odds at El Facil, has just been given the unenviable assignment of military advisor to a self-assured superior officer. Both of these Galactic Heroes, on opposite sides of the conflict, face the same task of having to overcome their superiors’ suspicions and win the day at "the 4th Tiamat Battle" of a 150-year-long war.

add recTwo classic space opera anime films from the 1980s. Admittedly 'My Conquest is the Sea of Stars' is the opening picture in a large sci-fi franchise while They Were Eleven is standalone, but either one is sure to satisfy fans of classic space opera.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Overture to a New War
Alt titles: Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Arata Naru Tatakai no Overture
- Movie
- 1993
Having recently acquired the title of Count, Reinhard von Lohengramm is considered increasingly dangerous by the highest officials of the Galactic Empire. However, they cannot move directly against a man so favoured of the Emperor, and he has proven his capacity in warfare. Thus, they intend to send him into a battle that they will ensure he cannot win. In the Free Planets Alliance, Yang Wen-li's friend Jean Robert Lappe intends to propose marriage to their mutual acquaintance, Jessica Edwards. Yang has only just returned home, but his respite will be all too brief: the Alliance soon hears of the intended Imperial invasion, and Yang once more finds himself in a fleet headed for combat. The battle of Astate is about to commence...

add recSpace opera anime films at their finest. Overture to a New War is part of a much larger franchise while They Were Eleven is a standalone work, however both are fine watches for fans of classic space opera (and the Galactic Heroes franchise in total will also give hours of entertainment for such fans).
