Kind of sad really but hey if people prefer that shoujo s**t about bishounen's, yaoi, or god forbid those tsundere loli's more power to them.

It's just disappointing not many people actually post about Mecha anime. Well...Topics about something other then Gundam...I mean damn so it's a meta-series and there's a new one every couple or years, depending if there are two seasons or not...

The fact of the matter is I would love to see people discussing Super robot animes like Mazinger or rather Mazinkaiser SKL, anything from the brave series, Godannar, hell even GunxSword I thnk is a super robot anime.

Again I'm not a super robot fanboy.....Well okay I am but I do have much love for the real robots.

Dude I just recently watched the vision of escaflowne series twice + the movie like 5 times last month
Deffinitely one of my top 5 animes

After I watched Gurren Lagann every other mecha anime seemed boring to me. I tried to watch other stuff like Gundam, but it's all so boring. The characters spend more time talking than fighting in their mechs. Call me simple-minded or whatever, but I want to see robots fighting, not the boring guy inside of it talking about crap. Heck, you know that American cartoon Megas XLR? I think I'd put that above most mecha anime I've seen. Why? Because not only are the fight scenes in Megas cool, the main character is also likeable.

I can feel the searing hatred from the mech anime fans already.

i think thats because most people take gundam and most of the contrast for mecha anime. it sorta spoils them on it.

Well it looks like you haven't watched Neon Genesis Evangelion yet. Watch that first, then you'll see that all other robot shows are s**t.

I've seen NGE I own the first two rebuild movies on dvd, and there are far better mecha shows then that I can promise you that.

Giant dickless humans in spandex suits isn't mecha. Get your s**t right. Oh and if this guy wants a deep psychological anime. Then he can go watch Argento Soma or Nadeisco.They dont compare to Eva.

Well it looks like another person didn't get Evangelion. Or maybe you don't want to get it. Is it to strong for your mind? What part didn't you get?

Have you seen the original show? The show is way deeper. And don't compare the show to the movies. The show is better. Watch them, then come back and talk to me.

And there are no other mecha shows better than Evangelion.

Like Hideaki Anno said, "There is nothing newer than Evangelion."

Reread what I said. I said I've seen NGE. The show not the movies. I own the movies. Toji was the pilot of unit 03 not Asuka. Shinji rejected instrumentality at the end of the series though he caused third impact in the end of evangelion.

Evangelion came out in '95. There have been quite a number of mecha anime since it's release. And he probably only said it back when it first came out.

Gaogaigar which came out a year after NGE was done was a much bigger success and has many more fans. Hell the ova's for older shows like Mazinkaiser and shin getter robo apocalypse were better then evangelion.

The whole concept of NGE was nice for a bit but the main character was weak in personality and the supporting characters were crap too. The best part of the show was when they were actually fighting. All the emotional issues that followed just dragged it down. Which is probably why I like the manga adaptation and the movies.
