I think I skimmed an episode once of Majestic prince, MC was just whining in it so it drove me off XD | ||

Stellvia was alright to good. I liked a lot of it, but they rehash the same plot points again and again. Votoms has a special place in my heart for going all out with the gritty realism. Vietnam in space is the best arc by faaaar. Scopedogs are also just cool. The overall plot gets a bit weird, and not in a way I liked. Infinite Ryvius was wasted potential. I liked how the start played out, but the second half of the show really sucked. Watch Yamato 2199 instead. Despite being a classic, the original series has arguably not aged well in quality or content. Crest/Banner is good. I need to rewatch it sometime. | ||

LoGH is obviously a possibility too, just thinking of watching more space anime first. To be perfectly honest, I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. Thats a pretty good list you've compiled! Only one I haven't seen is Uchuu no Stellvia. Majestic Prince is the King of CGI Mecha. The story isn't exactly ground breaking, but it has an engaging cast and a consistently written story. Its common for many modern Mecha anime to have a good start, and then spiral into shit as they try to do all sorts of weird stuff that just fails narratively, but MJP sticks to what works. And I'm probably one of the biggest haters of CGI Mecha here, but MJP's mecha stuff is great, especially in the second half. Not sure about what you mean by the MC whining, considering none of the main cast are whiners. Maybe you are thinking of something else? The MC of MJP is pretty gung-ho. The anime as a whole is extremely light on melodrama, so when there are times for characters to angst, its typically lowkey and doesn't cram it down your throat. Votoms is a classic. When it comes to mecha being realistically protrayed, there are hardly any mecha anime that come close. It is fairly old at this point, but assuming you are fine with mecha anime from the early 80s then you'll be fine. Infinite Ryvius is also very good. The best way to describe Infinite Ryvius is that its the Lord of Flies, except in space, with occasional robot fights. Yamato is also a classic. I recommend the 2199 version if you are going to do it. Its modernized, but as far as remakes go, its one of the best. Keeps the story in-tact, and most of the changes that are made are for the best. But at its core its still the anime that basically created Scifi Anime, with all its 70s quirks and feels. Crest/Banner of the Stars is a very talky show. Its focused largely on the dialogue and banter between characters. And luckily, the characters are all fairly good and the show benefits as a result. The setting and presentation is pretty good too. The bad part about Crest/Banner is that it doesn't actually have an end... Its still a good anime, though. If I had to choose only one of them, I'd choose either MJP or Votoms. I think the correct answer is to watch them all? Or watch LOGH instead? Or watch them all and LOGH? | ||

Also, I thought the original Yamato wasn't that bad. Granted, I watched it as "Star Blazers" dubbed in syndication on Saturday mornings, so my memory might not be great. | ||
