It really is the anime Starship Troopers.

True, I think both take advantage of our inherent bias to pick the side of the main characters and then push and push into the dark side until you have to admit that maybe they are the bad guys after all. Catching onto it after 10 episodes or on the second viewing isn't a fundamental difference in that regard.
