I hesitate to even mention this one because I doubt anyone here has ever heard of it. Space Battleship Yamato, better known as Star Blazers in America, was something of an after class ritual when I was in private school. The reruns (I never see anything the first time around) aired every afternoon at 3:30 pm on one of the local channels in the Philadelphia area, and it was a mad scramble everyday to race back to the residence, drop off our books and get cleaned up, and we'd all gather in front of the TV to watch the latest chapter as Derek Wildstar and crew continued their struggle to save Earth from the Comet Empire. It was as good or better than any of today's anime; action, drama, an honorable enemy, a little romance, character deaths, it pretty much had everything that makes a show worth watching. If you're interested you can read more about it here:
