Legend of the Galactic Heroes
It's also really old, and the animation doesn't benefit from the OVA animation bubble in terms of quality. A must-watch!

Trashmen eventually get into a shootout on a spaceship. If that doesn't sound appealing to you, you are most likely an incredibly boring individual. Well-written (though not always likeable) characters and actual SCIENCE star in this all-over-the-genre-board anime about picking up space debris. Guaranteed to make you shit your pants whenever you take a flight that exits the atmosphere, whenever that becomes a thing.

Very very very gripping story about... uh... Well, just read the description, fuck I can't describe it. It's really good. Lots at stake and the show makes you really get involved with each character, even if you think you won't. It's pretty tragic though so if you are looking for a happy anime avoid this. Complete with a cute animal mascot that isn't actually annoying. Who knew that was possible?
Das it mane. I will also parrot Verad's post and mention Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Monster as must-sees. Seriously, NO excuses for not watching those. 10/10 God-tier anime. If you take issue with me subtly calling you an anime nublord or One Who Eats Shit, take it up with me here instead of this lovely forum.

If you can't handle it than enjoy being a peasant, hehe.
