The original Gall Force is amazing. For one, they gleefully steal from everywhere (the first episode turns into the original Alien for 10 minutes). They shoved two hours worth of plot into the original 80 minute episode. The body count is also high. I won't say more than that

(also, the character designs are by the legend Sonada Kenichi, who did the original Bubblegum Crisis, Riding Bean, and Gunsmith Cats)
