Shows and Anime involving Space Fleet Battles!

Post Reply New Topic

Babylon 5 had some really good space battles.

Battlestar Galactica is a great sci fi show.
Last Exile is an anime that has really well done sky battles. Technically they're not in space though.

babylon 5
star wars
buck rogers
battlestar galactica (the old series and the reimaginged series)

il etait une fois lespace (french tv anime series about space) the spacebattles between the androids and the caspies

Outlaw Star has some good ones.

Babylon 5 had the best battles. I have not seen anything else come close.

There were a few good engagements during the Dominion War in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. My particular favorite would be the Second Battle of Bajor, when Starfleet retook DS9 from the combined Cardassian-Jem'Hadar forces...

Space fleet battles... in anime that I know of.

Gundam: Universal century stuff mainly, but still Gundam for the most part is MS battles.

Crest/Banner of the Stars: Yes, space fleet battles... but not the point and shoot kind. Space battles in this show play out rather super-realistically and drawn-out. In other words, not very exciting stuff.

Gunbuster: Yep, it's got classic space fleet battles and then some...

Harlock Saga: Probably has space warship battles... but I haven't really seen the show.

Martian Successor Nadesico: has a few warship battles...

There's probably some other animes with fleet battles... but the thing is, space warship battles are often never a focus in anime and get relegated to minor background events while mecha battles take the focus.

would you say it's like Legend of the Galactic Heroes?

Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Starship Operators has them.

EDIT: And thankyou, everyone else

the wiki article seems to remind me of Irresponsible Captain Tylor somewhat

I also forgot, the 11th Episode of The Melancholy or Haruhii Suziyama has said space fleet battles. I remember seeing that in a youtube AMV and someguy told me about it on another forum. I only d/led that ep so I could see the ep.

I can understamd why people were saying it's Sins of a Solar Empire multiplayer or a similar game lol

EDIT: and lol @ some of the guy's uniforms, the guy who was President of the Computer Society was dressed like a f*****g Abh officer or some s**t.

And the 15,000 ships everyone gets is a nice reference to Legend of the Galactic Heroes, many of the major fleets are around that size.

EDIT 2: man, they ripped off a lot of the battle ideas and the like from LOGH. They even used soem of the same classical music played in LOGH. The 'turn the fleet 90*' was another too. And hjwo they normally engaged at logn distances. Or I'm reading too much into this.

Glass Fleet as well.
