I love shows with great dialogue, realistic characters, and plot that ties to deep worldbuidling. The only other show I can think is Legend of Galactic Heroes, which is my #1 animu. Maybe I like these two shows as they’re both originally scifi novel serieses.

Gundams tend to be a bit too goofy for me.

    Came here to say LGH, though I’ve only seen the new one.

    Does Count of Monte Cristo count? I forget the Japanese name. It is a retelling of the classic Dumas novel, but it’s set in space. So it’s about a guy who is falsely imprisoned, escapes, comes into a large fortune, and plots his rivals’ demises, often at their own hands. It’s good, but the animation is a bit weird. You know that thing where, in any anime ever, if someone’s wearing clothing with a pattern, and they move, and the pattern doesn’t? Like it’s a whole other layer and they’re a cutout, moving through it? That’s super obvious in this one. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s possible you’ve never noticed it. This anime will make you notice it not only in itself but in every other anime. It can even be a little nauseating (if you can get motion sickness from your TV) as well. Otherwise, good anime.
