Trying to find old anime

Back in the day I subbed two episodes of an anime for a convention. I'd really like to see this anime again. But, as this was about 25 years ago, I remember next to nothing about it. I'm pretty sure there was an invasion and there was a boy caught in the middle of it. The anime must've been new at the time, as a friend imported it himself to show new stuff at the convention.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? I truly don't remember anything else about this, despite spending so much time subbing it. I remember doing subtitles in different colors, but not the anime itself.

Yes! My god, thank you so much! This was it.

Wooooo! Glad I could help. Haven't watched it in years myself, but I remember it being a pretty good space opera. There are at least two sequels as well, Banner of the Stars 1 and 2.

@Sharkticon@lemmy.zip deserves credit as well.

First thing that popped into my mind as well.

Any character names you could give that might help?

Sorry, completely blank. I remember some planet, a boy, a fight or invasion and the boy trying to escape. I must've done this for a convention in 2000, so it can't be anything older. And I am pretty sure it was a new release at the time.

An invasion of what? That'd help

Martian Successor Nadesico?

Sadly, not that either.

Now and then, here and there?

Just looked it up, and no, that's not it. I distinctly remember some sort of attack in the first two episodes. I think it was on some colony on another planet.

It sounds like the start of Gundam except your timeline doesn't match up as far as I know

My first thought went to Gundam F91, but that's still ten years earlier.
