Two 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.

If you enjoy watching anime where the story takes place in space (and in particular mostly on ships) you'll enjoy both of these series.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars is the prequel to a very long main series while They Were Eleven is a standalone film. However, if you enjoyed one of these you'll probably enjoy the other.

Nana Toshi Monogatari: Hokkyokukai Sensen

Nana Toshi Monogatari: Hokkyokukai Sensen

In 2086, Earth's axis tilted 90 degrees and after three years span, approximately ten billion people died. One million colonists who had moved to the moon prior to the disaster escaped what later became known as "The Great Fall". At the moon, they established the Panhuman World Government (PWG) and organized the recolonization of the world. Seven locations were chosen for cities as starting points for this massive project. To guarantee their authority over the new colonies, the PWG built a highly advanced defense system on the moon called Olympos-System. In 2136, the lunar government perished due to an unknown virus brought to the moon by a meteor, but the automated Olympos-System remained active and has a life span of about 200 years. It is 2190 and some of the Seven Cities wage wars against each other. Two talented military strategists from opposing cities rise to confront each other.

Faction warfare and political intrigues are core to both works. Both animes tells the story of first meeting of great military commanders.

Captain Harlock

In the year 2977, humanity has long passed its peak; machines are able to perform any task a human can, and people have succumbed to apathy. However, there remains one who refuses to accept such an existence: Captan Harlock, a pirate who sails the sea of stars aboard his ship, the Arcadia. He is feared and loathed by most inhabitants of Earth, and yet he is their only hope against the Mazones, a strange alien race of beautiful women that threatens humanity. Thus begins a lonely battle in which Harlock and the crew of Arcadia struggle to stay true to their ideals, while slowly unravelling the sad tale of the Mazones.

Both movies are about space. LOGH is a bit older, but it's a legendary anime with a great story, sound tracks and characters.Space pirate captain Harlock on the other hand doesn't have a super good story, but the animation ( and the millions spent on it) makes it a real eye candy.  Also This movie IMO is better than LOGH Overture to a New War.

Both of these shows have a similar art style and carry a similar feeling. Both are set in a vast universe and these stories both tell the beginning of a saga. The shows also both have space and politcial themes. If you enjoyed one then I suggest you try the other.
