| Mecha fag here to hear everyone's opinions. What's your favorite from this wonderful genre? |
| NGE probably, honorable mention to zeta gundam though. |
| I haven't completed a huge amount of mecha anime (yet), so my candidate pool is kinda limited. Even though there are many people who hate Infinite Stratos because of the characters and/or personalities, I still find it somewhat unique with how it handles the mecha designs. Rather than giant machines, full-body armor, or autonomous units, IS made mecha more into a fashion statement. Shoulder pads, high-top boots, arm bracers, and head gear.. that's about it other than the weapon. Looking good & kicking ass... maybe we could call it Mecha-Lite? |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| Cross Ange. It actually broke a cycle, unlike Evangelion that doesn't have an actual resolution. |
 |
| My favorite would probably be Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, but I also really enjoyed Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, Mobile Fighter G Gundam, and Zoids. |
| Evangelion, although I Haven't seen a lot of Mecha. |
 |
| well evangelion is my favorite anime of all time so u h h h h h h |
| I'm a big Macross fan (specifically, the original series, DYRL, Macross II, and Macross Plus). But I love Gundam too, so it's difficult to pin down which is my favorite. I mainly like Real Robot mecha, and sometimes Super Robot (I guess Big O falls into that category?)... more or less, I'm into most mecha as long as it isnt the Puberty Robot subgenre |
| There is absolutely no reason why I should accept "turn your brain off" as a valid excuse to defend a poor show. ~ blatant ad: https://myanimelist.net/blog/Crusader_8 I spend the time to write it, so please read it lol |
| It's not necessarily mecha focused, but it has the tag so whatever Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex |
 |
MechKingKillbot said: It's not necessarily mecha focused, but it has the tag so whatever Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex lol probably because the damn tachikoma |
| mobile suits gundam series I grew up with gundam and it was one of the first anime to motivate me spending money on figures |
| mobile suit gundam 00 i might try the other gundams though |
  |
| Gunbuster/Diebuster probably followed by Patlabor or Rahxephon, if that counts. |
| since i’m a basic ass nigga definitely gurren lagann |
Edward Elric > your waifu  |
| Haven't seen many, as a kid I watched Macross but I barely remember it, I only remember I liked it a lot. I also saw some random episodes of shows like Voltron and Mazinger Z, but never completed them. As an adult, I've only watched NGE, TTGL, Code Geass and Aldnoah.Zero, and I only liked the first one, which immediately became part of my favorites, so that's obviously my pick. I've yet to see any Gundam. One day I'll watch some, just not now. EDIT: I forgot that as a kid I also watched Magic Knight Rayearth and The Vision of Escaflowne, which include some mechas, but I've never seen that shows as mecha shows, but rather fantasy/isekai shoujo ones. |

| My favorite mecha anime is Code Geass LMAO |
 |
| Mine are Evangelion, soukyu no fafner, GUNDAM in general, sidonia no kishi and code geass. If I have to choose one Eva, but is really hard to leave the others XD |
 |
| Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team Probably. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch is the best mecha ever! ALL HAIL HIS MAJESTY LELOUCH VI BRITANNIAA!!! |
 |
| I've barely watched a few and Kakumeiki Valvrave, its 2nd Season to be even more specific is most probably my favorite. I've been wanting to watch Gundam but not sure where to start. |
 |
| I'm undecided between NGE and Gurren Lagann |
 "God is Dead" |
| Macross Macross: Do You Remember Love? Macross II Macross Plus Macross 7 Macross Zero Macross Frontier MaCross Ange Macross Delta MACROSS FOR LIFE! |
 |
| Haven't watched a lot of Mecha anime and im not a big fan of it but Full metal Panic is my favorite so far and 2nd is Code Geass. |
| Gundam followed by the classic one everyone has watched and knows you know which one im talking about |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Macross Plus, Macross DYRL and TTGL so far I think. |
 |
| Gundam 00 is best mecha anime I watch thus far. |
| Definitely Eureka Seven! Honourable mentions include Code Geass R1 and R2, especially, Full Metal Panic Series and Gurren Lagann. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Original Macross with Gundam 0080 being a runner up. |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion. While some fans will argue that it isn't mecha since the Evas are biomechanical, the show follows enough of the genre's conventions to be regarded as such. Other favourites include Gunbuster, Eureka Seven, Gurren Lagann and Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. |
Take care of yourself |
| TTGL Macross DYRL Gundam 0080 But the masterpiece is the manga Gundam the Origin. |
 |
| From Gundam it's easily Unicorn which perfected the classic Gundam, is extremely well polished (and it's not just about production values), has some of the best mechas and action, the characters are great (especially Marida) and it's overall just amazing to watch. The soundtrack is amazing, when Gundam truly appears for the first time and the OST kicks in it's so fucking epic, out of this world. from the more unusual/experimental Gundam, Turn A takes the cake with best characters, best story and most of all just awesome atmosphere. Tomino achieved what he wanted to, it's easily his best work. If you're in mostly for robots and actions it might be bit disappointing being much more calm and not having many new designs (outside of turn A which really isn't very pretty). outside of Gundam there's obviously Macross, I love DYRL the most easily, it's a beautiful watch and I would die to watch it in a cinema. It's a spectacle, it's just so cool, I don't know, I didn't even live then yet it makes me nostalgic for era I never experienced. And the title song is out of this world good. Other than that, most of its series are good, Delta is kind of mediocre, 7 seems to get a lot of flak (undeserved imo, easily the best MC and the band is just great, every song is good, and that's what matters in Macross). Zero is weird and doesn't feel like part of the franchise tbh. TTGL is obviously great, a work of the best director of all time, unique style, amazing characters, a beautiful story told through craziness, fanservice, hot bloodedness and great sense of humour. It's an absolutely amazing watch, but as it's highly stylistic it has some divisive opinions. Big O is something I recently watched and loved, once again a truly unique show, a mecha and mystery combination with a truly intriguing world and atmosphere. It's heavily inspired by western stuff (inb4 that's a demerit, fuck you) and should find many fans even among people who are not into robots at all. Eva is too obvious, a must watch by every anime fan, talking about it seems bit pointless. But if anyone who loves it should also give RahXephon a try, which while not quite as great, still should be appreciated by the fans with how similar and how different it is at the same time, a great atmosphere, a slowly revealed mystery, beautiful soundtrack and some great mindfuckery. The titular mecha is also some of my favourites when it comes to design. |
 |
| Yeah NGE is the obvious answer Other mecha from my favourites: Rahxephon, Bokurano (both similar to Eva but take the story in different ways.. Rahxephon being more romance oriented and Bokurano more about suffering) M3 Sono Kuroki Hagane - one of the very few psychological mecha of the last decade Gargantia - very different from other mechas.. this one happens on a water world and has very beautiful art style, and memorable story/characters, overall one of the best 1 cour anime i ever watched Macross (original + movie) - my classic of choice; i watched this instead of Gundam because it only has like 6 series, and they're all shorter than the average Gundam; it also aged way better than other mecha i've seen of its time that were mostly boring villain of the week series, this one has continuity Brigadoon - as a top review so nicely puts it, "Brigadoon, I am happy to report, does not suffer the cliches usually associated with certain anime categories or genres. It simply doesn't belong to any. In fact, It will quietly defy all attempts at categorization and will summarily step on your face if you attempt it."; it might be a mecha, but just like Gargantia it feels way different from everything else i've seen in the genre, most notably because there is a romance between the main character and the mecha |
 |
| I haven't seen many so NGE I guess... |
| Gundam Seed and Code Geass. Gundam Seed is like a classic to me. One of my biggest favorites during my childhood. Code Geass is self-explanatory for Code Geass fans. |
 |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion or Space Ideon |
| Hmm, from what I've watched, probably Robot Girlz Z. |
     |
| Of the few I watched, Cross Ange and Valvrave the Liberator, for being such enjoyable trainwrecks. Code Geass may count as well. I also like Full Metal Panic a lot. |
 |
| From the small list of mecha shows I have watched I'd say Genocyber (it hits that one spot of my taste), Transformers G1 is good fun to watch looking at all animation errors and UFO robo Grendizer has just really stupid premise to not love. Shout out for Star Driver mecha designs and Magic Knight Rayearth for mixing mahou shoujo and mecha. If Blame had actually good animation adaptation I'd prob say that, tho I'm not sure why it's labeled as mecha. |
 |
| My favorites are Evangelion, Zeta Gundam and Ideon: Be Invoked |
| Evangelion and Code Geass, haven't watched a lot in the mecha genre |
| The Mazinkaiser OVA was too epic for words, other good ones are Zambot 3, GaoGaiGar, Evangelion, and Getter Robo Armageddon. |
| code geass is my favourite meecha anime ...btw the ending was so sad and happy at the same time... |
 |
| Actually they are pretty popular: Gundam Top: - Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt - Gundam: G no Reconguista - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin - Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Mobile Suit Gundam I, Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow and Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space - Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation - Heir to the Stars, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation II - Lovers and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation III - Love Is the Pulse of the Stars - Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ - Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory - Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team - Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO - Mobile Suit Gundam F91 Macross Top: - Macoss Zero - Macross Frontier Votoms Top: - Soukou Kihei Votoms: Pailsen Files - Soukou Kihei Votoms: Gen-ei Hen - Soukou Kihei Votoms: Koei Futatabi - Votoms Finder - Kikou Ryohei Mellowlink (not pure mecha but has some elements and is in the Votoms universe) Patlabor Top: - Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor 2 the Movie - Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor the Movie - WXIII Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor - Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor OVA (1988) Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann The Big O Suisei no Gargantia Sousei no Aquarion - because is weird...not a fan of the other Aquarion series. Evol had great visulas but went nowhere and don't me start on Logos. Tiger & Bunny Zone of the Enders: 2167 Idolo + Zone of the Enders: Dolores, I PS I forgot about GaoGaiGar! The OVA Yuusha-Ou GaoGaiGar Final was stellar. |
