Obviously Uchuu Senkan Yamato has a bridge, explained by being literally a battleship Recycled IN SPACE!.Let it not be said that Haruhi Suzumiya doesn't know its tropes, as the ships of all five SOS Brigade members in the episode " The Day of Sagittarius III" come equipped with the standard bridge set-ups, complete with themed Bridge Bunnies.The Saint's Cradle however, is controlled from a cramp platform hidden in the heart of the ship. The Arthra from Lyrical Nanoha, and heck, pretty much every ship of the Time-Space Administration Bureau has the standard roomy bridge.All the bridges are quite cramped, though, and there are seat belts. Starship Operators has 3 bridges for Amaterasu, one for command, one for fire control, and one for conning.Humorously referred to in the anime series Den-noh Coil: in episode four, the kids of the Daikoku City Hackers Club engage in a cyber-battle while seated on a bunch of overturned desks that recall the classical Bridge disposition (with the club president at the center and elevated above the others, of course) and surround themselves with virtual-reality screens and terminals on which they bash with Rapid-Fire Typing: but hey, they are kids playing after all.Like Firefly, the main characters' vessel in Cowboy Bebop contains a relatively small cockpit, and a larger living-room structure that better serves the functions of The Bridge.All bridges on all the large ships in the Mobile Suit Gundam series.The aircrafts and spaceships of the Mykene Empire - from Great Mazinger- and the Vegan Empire -from UFO Robo Grendizer - also had bridges fitted with those elements.The flying and submarine fortress of Baron Ashura and Count Brocken also had bridges.
