Legend of the Galactic Heroes
This long running space-opera tells the story of a conflict between the (Prussia-like) Galactic Empire which is set on conquering and unifying all of known space, and its war with the Free Planets Alliance. While mainly focusing on the two opposing militaries' leaders - Reinhard Von Lohengram (of the Empire) and Yang Wen-Li (of the Alliance) – the story describes all levels of the war; from the tactical to the strategic; from street fighting to spaceship conflicts.

Martial Arts students Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo have been arranged to be married against their will. To make matters worse, after Martial Arts training at the Magical Springs in China, his father is cursed to change into a Panda and he's cursed to change into a beautiful buxom female whenever doused in cold water. (Hot water reverses the effects.) Add to that a cast of characters looking to break up the couple (some of them similarly cursed) and you have one of Rumiko Takahashi's most popular creation as they continue their adventures in the OVA releases.

The Cockpit: Kamikaze Stories
Rent The Cockpit is a series of 3 OVAs focusing on three separate stories of the tragedy of war. The first, Slipstream, follows a Luftwaffe pilot who must choose between his duty to his country: to guard a bomber loaded with Germany's final hope of victory, the world's first atomic bomb, or his duty to the world: to let it fall in flames to enemy Spitfires and be a footnote in history. Of course, things are complicated by the plane's other cargo, the woman he loves. The second story, Sonic Boom Squadron follows the pilot of an Ohka bomb, the purest kamikaze desperation weapon of the Pacific war. He once dreamt of flying a rocket into space, but instead he is to fly a rocket into an American ship for the glory of Japan. If only they would have let him live another 30 years. The third story, Knight of the Iron Dragon, is set on the Philippine island of Leyte, where a rusted old motorcycle tells the story of two Japanese soldiers who returned to a captured airfield to fulfill a promise, a promise that neither could ever keep.
