Favourite Mecha Anime?

[Duskbyday]

There are so many Mecha Anime that just rock and it almost is so hard to choose, but which is your favourite or favourites and why?

Mine has to be either Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL or Eureka 7. Neon Genesis has great design and deep think which I love, FLCL is so in your face and brevely suceeds in showing me a deep yet halarious anime. Eureka 7 was at first o.k but after 10 episodes I was hooked. I'm trying to get a hold of Rhaxhephon because of what I've heard and Gundam is the greatest anime but does seem slightly boring after soooooo many series on one franchise.

I do have a small soft spot for Big O though... it's just so damn awesome sometimes.t:

Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann. I find it a tad amusing that those are my two favorite Mecha shows, because they are at their core complete contrasts of each other.

Before Gurren Lagann it would have been Gundam Wing like it always has been with me. But Gurren Lagann came along and took the top spot. I loved it.

 

[TheVileOne]

I don't count FLCL.

My two personal favorites are GunXSword and Godannar. Both had the same character designer. Hot ass chicks in both shows .

GunXSword did a lot of fun stuff. Great cast of characters, great mecha design, and an awesome ending that didn't disappoint.

I liked Godannar a lot but it got a little too melodramatic/soap opera to me at times.

Heya,

Even if the whole show isn't "Mecha" based, but I'm shocked noone has mentioned, "Escaflowne" as of yet. That was a pretty strong series, IMO. Not the classic emo whiney crap that is in a lot of mecha... Hehe. Or at least not as bad, for that what drives me up the wall with Neon Genesis Evangelion. Crybaby lead, and it dosen't STOP. =/

I would have to go with Code Geass and Blue Gender.

 

[Mistress Kizuna]

I've only caught a couple episodes, but I'm really loving Code Geass. I also love Gundam Wing, Evangelion, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan, and RahXephon.

Completely forgot about Code Geass, thats very high ranking.

 

[Wolfwood]

I haven't seen to many Mecha Animes, but I loved Big O because of how much it reminded me of the 90s Batman cartoons.

I like Code Geass. I just don't care much for their mechas.

 

[Avangarde]

Neon Genesis, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass.

 

[wellsy]

Gundam Wing. It was the first series I actually watched, and everything I've seen since just simply hasn't been able to measure up. Gurren Lagen may be a good challenger though (I'm yet to see it).

Actually, who do you think would win - Treize Khushrenada in the Tallgeese-II or Kamina in the Gurren?

I'm watching a couple of episodes of Eva right now. Going to an anime con this weekend and going to have my boxset signed by Tiffany Grant, the voice of Asuka.

Kamina. Just by the sheer power of his badassness.

 

[Addendum]

Big O, Evangelion, Giant Robo

 

[ParaParaJMo]

Macross franchise
Aura Battler Dunbine
Full Metal Panic
Nadesico
Patlabor
Evangelion
Escaflowne
GoLion

 

[Astrø]

Ghost in a Shell and if that doesn't count most likely any Gundam Wing or Robo Tech.

 

[Astrø]

Edit. Double Post. Well I like Robot Boy too. (Its kind of anime and I don't want to waste space.)

 

[Dread]

I'm not especially into "mecha". Does GIANT ROBO count? Because I liked that.

 

[TheVileOne]

Giant Robo counts. Pretty much anything with giant robots, or mechanical suits of armor counts.

 

[Astrø]

Well Gundam Wing is Mecha which is "Giant Robot." Does Zoids count?

 

[Alistair]

Venom,

Yeah, I think Zoids would count as well, and forgot all about that show. It was pretty fun, I must admit. Granted, I like Chaotic Century better than the other ones, to much slapstick lame jokes, IMO.


Ligers 4 da win,

Zoids counts. Zoids is mecha.

Well then add Zoids to my list. t:
