Looking for: Series with aerial/space combat WITHOUT MECHA.
Mechas are what's destroying all the space anime for me, I have absolutely no idea why it's such a big hit, not when there's nothing better than dogfighting in a fighter at full speed.
I'm looking for something along the lines of Yukikaze. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Cheers

Last Exile - Steampunk. Wingless Vanship dogfights, together with Flying Battleship battles. The Guild's designs are rather Sci-Fi.
Sky Crawler - Late 1940s/1950 designs. All Piston Prop, no Jets Toaru Hikuushi no Tsuioku - 1940s Floatplane, J7W Shinden, and Flying IJN Ships. There is a sequel, sort of, Toaru Hikuushi no Koiuta, but I'm won't recommend it for the aerial battles. Cowboy Bebop - Space/Atmospheric Dogfights with Space Fighters. The Movie have a Dogfight too. Studio Ghibli Movies, lots of it, Hayao Miyazaki really loves aviation, it seems: Porco Rosso - Interbellum 1920s Floatplanes. Nausicaa of The Valley of The Wind Post-Apocalyptic Dieselpunk plane and glider designs, also a Flying Jar. Last edited by cupumanager; 2015-01-06 at 13:09. |

Crest of the Stars, and the sequel Banner of the Stars.
Banner of the Stars has whole episodes devoted to nothing but giant space battles. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Bodacious Space Pirates is action adventure combined with slice of life and a lot of world building, but because of this the actions scenes are really good.

Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku (released in North America as The Princess and the Pilot) is one of my favorite animated films. It's a simple story, but it's well told (though despite the simplicity of the story, I would recommend you pay attention to the little details). Quote:
