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.

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.

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.

Random! 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!
