Probably seen them sometime between the 90’s to early 2000’s, but they could have been made sometime earlier.

If someone could supply the titles, I would be grateful, google is inundated with anime, but sub genres are surprisingly hard to wade through.

First is a mars type enviroment, with star wars style land crawlers, but longer. Instead of fighter planes, this carrier would discorge motorcycles of some kind. not Macross

possibly two separate movies,that looked like they were set in tokyo, at least one of them had a zepplin/blimp traverse the city disgorging what looked like poison gas, for the point of view to change from not wearing gas masks, to wearing gas masks, in just a frame

The second looked like a coup de’tat was happening in Japan, and the protagonists were concerned about american intervention.

Sounds like Big Wars.

The second one seems to be Patlabor 2: The Movie. An excellently made work.

Huh. I was a big fan of Patlabor, and I know I saw both movies…don’t remember that at all. I guess I’ll have to rewatch them sometime.

5

Ditto. Though, to be fair, only the first movie was particularly memorable.

Update

First movie was venus wars

Patlabor was not the other movie, Im still looking for that one.

My bad, I had seen 1 and 3. Two was the winner.

Dang, another case among the many examples I have seen of how our “scumbag” brains do put a “block” on the solution by actively telling us that the actual solution can not be it.

Unless the copy of the movie I watched was maybe misnamed.
