I was trolling through Crunchyroll for new anime to watch and I came upon Heroic Age, a space opera genre anime from 2002. Nothing ground breaking, but the artwork looks good to me, has a consistent storyline and I’ve enjoyed watching the first 4 - 5 episodes so far.

As from me…
- Banana Fish - Very much exciting, with interesting characters, and it always keeps you at the edge. Definitely 10/10
- Sonny Boy - This one… was interesting. What drew me to it was… the surreality, and in general, the style.
- Kaiji - Simply said, both excitement and dread of gambling in various games.
- Shinsekai Yori - Quality worldbuilding, sci-fi
Thanks for your suggestions. Banana Fish and Sonny Boy are on my watch someday list.
Shinsekai Yuri I have already seen and I agree, the world building is very good and the storyline keeps you hooked.
Kaiji is not on Crunchyroll in my location so I can’t try it out.
Are you sure it’s from 2002 and not 2007? Is it this one? https://anidb.net/anime/5025
I might have to pick it up, love me a good space opera.
another obscure one is ‘Soreyuku! Uchuu Senkan Yamamoto Yohko’ the 1999 tv anime, directed by Shinbo
it’s…
It’s an anime about 20th century high school students fighting in spaceship battle contests in 2999Random! I wonder if anyone has seen House of Five Leaves https://anidb.net/anime/7248. It’s a 12 eps anime with a historical setting. It’s almost slice-of-life kind of slow-paced and the art style might be an acquired taste, but once you get used to it, the story is engaging enough, and the background art and ambiance form a nostalgically beautiful combo.
What still stands out the most to me after all these years, though, is the soundtrack. It is absolutely wonderful! A fusion of traditional and tango
Even if you don’t watch it or drop it, the OST deserves a chance!
