>such a overly specific request
Look up the list of space anime from the 90s and early 2000s. Plenty of that there.

My apologies
Also quality must be OP at least if not better

>>2395 (OP)
All space anime is mecha regardless as to whether or not it has giant robots in it. The term "mecha" is just short for "mechanical" and any anime that goes out of its way to show off its mechanical designs may be considered mecha.

Well it's clear that you just wanted to start a Legend of the Galactic Heroes thread. Nothing really beats that as far as space operas go. Aside from maybe the Leijiverse, you'll find hard contenders.

LoGH beats most western space operas. Its easily up there with the more ambitious ones like B5 but without the rubber foreheads and general noticeably low production values you get from space operas aimed at sci-fi arms, yes it reuses animation but the animation gives it a far larger margin for low quality.

Planetes maybe?
