In homage to the July released Pacific Rim and the August released Gatchaman, I decided to compile a list of giant mecha anime that I have enjoyed.
10. Escaflowne: I did not really care for the story, but the fight scenes are cool, yet not too ridiculous.
9. Megas XLR: A hilarious parody of Toonami.
8. Turn A Gundam: Gundam as a god.
7. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Great music, great themes of peace that are a bit overdone when there are so many people dying every episode. 5 Memorable Gundam pilots who are equally as mighty although Heero Yuy is the protagonist. Great dub.
6. Getter Robo: The graphics are out of date, but the dynamic between the 3 is really killer. Proves that dark alone does not make a great series as seen in the sequels.
5. Combattler V: A predecessor to the Super Sentai series, even with similar Goranger costumes.
4. Neon Genesis Evangelion: A hybrid robot series with Armageddon references that could have been the greatest thing since sliced bread.
3. 08th MS Gundam: A really realistic real robot series.
2. Mobile Suit Gundam: The real robot franchise that started it all.
1. Z Gundam: Probably the darkest and most psychologically interesting of the Gundam series, before T2.
