I'm just past the big victory and even though it is an old show this story seems rather fresh. The only other show that I remember showing the aftermath with all its problems was Gurren Lagann.
Also, I don't remember if I have asked this before but there is this one anime movie that I saw years ago and would like to find again. The Finnish translation of the name was something like "Eleventh passenger" but I don't know what the original name is.
The basic idea was that ten (I think at least, actually the number might be different) captain-cadets are going on a final exam of some galactic space captain school and the exam is done as a team. The ten cadets are sent onto a derelict ship and must survive a set amount of time there. There are some complications though with the ship being rigged to explode and the fact that there is one more person on the vessel than there should be. (The eleventh passenger. Or 12th or 9th if I misremembered their numbers.)
It was rather good movie and I liked the story and characters but can't seem to find it anymore. (Since it was shown in Finnish TV it must have had some spread outside of Japan.)
Also, there was this one interesting character. He/She was from a society where children are basically born without gender and then before reaching adulthood either naturally become women or if given some special drugs become men. The point was that men were kept artificially low in numbers and they were the ruling class. The character was trying to become a captain so that they could use their rank as a justification for getting the drug.
