Shintani and Leiji Matsumoto both stay true to a somewhat 70's character design, and they both feature a lot of nice airplane action. Area 88 focuses on post-Vietnam era jet fighters while Slipstream focuses on only a few World War II era fighters. But what makes these similar is the attention to detail and level animation both possess. I also think that shows like Macross (and all of its sequels) have yet to achieve the intense thrill of the dogfight like these do.
