| So been watching votoms, macross and everything gundam from universal century. Loving it all so thought to take some suggestions for mecha. Doesn't necessarily have to be old stuff, just some mecha in general. Though I basically hate everything from gundam after universal century, ie wing, x, 00, etc excluding turn a. So dont really need any gundam, macross, votoms suggestions since I'm already covered for what I want to watch. |

Sepyuff said: I don't see Full Metal Panic or Martian Successor Nadesico on your List. Give those a try if you haven't seen them yet. Seconding both of them. RahXephon is pretty good too. |

| I'll second Full Metal Panic (I actually started with the all out comedy Fumoffu, but I liked the characters so much I checked out the real series. Definitely don't regret it). Rahxephon is really good too, though it seems to be a hit or miss for most. Also, if you enjoyed Gurren Lagann and Furi Kuri, it's worth seeing Gunbuster. Basically the classic series these shows were based off of and the newer sequel Diebuster is fairly good too (has more of a Lagann/FLCL style with the animation too). It also might be a stretch, but there's some mecha in the sci-fi series Bubblegum Crisis. |

| Gasaraki is an acquired taste - it's obsessively detailed about its mecha, it also dabbles in Evangelion-esque mysticism and it also likes its politics. But it's different, which is nice (same director as Votoms, if I recall correctly). Since Echelon's avatar and signature reminded me, Infinite Ryvius is not primarily a mecha show, but it has mecha and is an interesting story. Worth a try. Blue Gender is a mecha/monster/horror show from (again) the same director as Votoms. It feels a bit low-budget to me, but the idea of the humans as the prey is always fun exploring. Mazinkaiser is a short, comprehensible super robot OVA - it might not do very much that's new, but it has great production values and certainly helped me get my head around super robot concepts. Escaflowne is famously 'shoujo mecha' - but whatever its genre, it kind-of rocks. 'Why is shoujo mecha so manly?', as I heard someone ask on /m/. Patlabor, in its various forms, is like a police sitcom with mecha. Unusual take on the concept, big on mecha-as-tool, good fun. OVA is supposed to be good. Space Runaway Ideon and its movies? It's an odd one, but it was what Tomino directed immediately after finishing Mobile Suit Gundam (the first one). It's supposed to be a predecessor to Evangelion, as well. Also seconding the suggestions above for Full Metal Panic, Gunbuster and Nadesico. I can't speak for Rahxephon, Layzner or Dragonar, though, I haven't seen them. |
| Nedesico is ver good, and also Escaflowne. There's also the classic, Magic Knight Reyearth. |
 |
| Heroic Age-impressive at first, but got boring w/political intrigue and repetitive battle's Full Metal Panic-Mecha w/a dash of comedy and some romance here and there Full Metal The Second Raid-second season, better progressive action,much more serious, much more gory, much more fun Eureka Seven-Mecha anime but focuses more on the character development Samurai 7-Mecha in the samurai era, its always nice to see a mecha get cut by just a mere sword, enjoyable anime imo |
