There is one Anime series that fits Bab5 far too well...
Ataru Moroboshi: Commander of Bab5 and hero of the Battle of the Line,
which he survived when the Oni mysteriously surrendered just before
conquering the Earth.
Shutaro Mendo: Lt Commander. His family connections kept him out of the
last war and so now he disgruntledly serves under Ataru.
Megane: Chief of Security.
Sakura: Chief Medical Officer.
Lum: Oni ambassador.
Jariten: Her cousin and faithful sidekick.
etc...
