Mecha Fan Rollcall

[albinoMithos]

Hey all! Who here among us is a mecha anime fan?  If you are one, which mechas should people watch and how completely badass are they? 

I'm saying this now: To any mecha fan who has not watched Zeta Gundam yet, your ass is getting a visit from my foot.

I would like to add

Gurren-Lagann
Heavy Metal L.Gaim
Zone of the Enders

Macross

and of course Code Geass

to Nec's list.

Does Patlabor count? I watched that years ago, I thought it was really boring.

[nectarsis]

 
How could I forget Geass.  Tekkaman Blade has been redone as a sub only set (well 3 small box sets) that areVASTLY superior to the bastardized Teknoman.

A few more missed  :oops::

Macross
Genesis Climber Mospeda
Southern Cross
Robotech
Orguss
Megazone 23
Armored Trooper Votoms (all)
Escaflowne
Full Metal Panic

Well that is a mecha.....


Oh I'm throwing a few ones that I liked but most may not:

Zoids (stay the hell away from fuziors)
Big O
Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventures
Full Metal Panic!

Oh and I cannot stress this endough  STAY AWAY FROM BETTERMAN!!!!!!

I like some giant robot shows, but not most of 'em. pretty much everything Gundam is meh-tastic. (except 0080, that was interesting.)

My favorite giant robot shows:

The Big O
Voltron (I'm gonna pick up the Golion box set when I get the chance)
Evangelion (well, the beginning - the end gets really f*cking weird.)

...that's pretty much it.

Edit: I forgot Robotech! it's been a long time since I've seen that...

I agree with most of this post.  But Gundam wasn't meh-tastic man.....and you managed to pick the UC Gundam Side Story I like the least.......  On a serious note if you like lots of death in your mecha give Victory Gundam a try.

[nectarsis]

I figured you would dig that list Tron ;P

[albinoMithos]

Nice tron didn't know you liked mechas.....

Yup simular taste to yours as well.
Though i can think of another one that i didn't list.
The Super Dimension Century Orguss

It's a shame it had a limted release run for the u.s on dvd by imagin asian.

I've watch the whole thing on a bootleg set with fansubs and it's not bad,for a show made in the 80's.

Interesting that the show was done by the same studio that did macross.
