The Sky Crawlers and Area 88 are both anime that revolve around fighter pilots being forced to partake in a conflict. Looking deeper, they also share many things thematically:
-in both anime the main character wrestles w/ the dilemma of fighting in a meaningless conflict
-there are journalists present in both covering said conflict, not just how war is fought but how war is perceived
-both have a unconventional conclusion, one which is neither happy nor sad but true to their respective themes
-if you're into airplanes and flying, those sections of these anime are very well animated, especially the dogfights between the warplanes
-both have some romantic subtext
