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.
Thanks I’ll have look for it.
Just found it on MAL and it makes me think of Bodacious Pirates which I’ve watched and really liked.
