What about animes with mechs on them?

[the mongoose]

yeah, I'd agree with Macross Plus. As a teen I LOVED this anime....it's kinda silly and sappy when I watch it now cause of the pop star concert crap and the love triangle yarn. Great action though!

I never cared for it.

for some old school super robot style shows i'd recommend:

Godannar - fun show. lots of babes with big boobies, numerous mechs and combining mechs.
trailer here:

Gaogaigar - most likely you'll have to look for the boots otherwise its only a region 2 release. there are 2 versions, the regular tv show (something like 50 episodes), and the Gaogaigar Final - which is a 3 episode special. the tv series is much better. it's like a mechlovers dream - robots that transform, robots that combine, robots that transform and combine, over the top action sequences, yelling out cool moves etc.
list of mechs:

Gaogaigar Final opening sequence:

Getter Robo Armageddon (or Shin Getter) - i've only seen this version (there's numerous ones after this series - Neo Getter, New getter Robo etc). this is great cuz: it's from the same guy who created the original super robot genre in the 70's; it's an update to the original show, which also happens to be the first to feature combining/transforming robots.

Yeah, I'd give Neon Genesis Evagelion another shot. I've learned with a lot of animes that you need to keep watching and you'll be rewarded.

Check out the Patlabor movies. Huge mechs and pretty good/intelligent story if i remember correctly (been a while since i've seen them)

I forgot about Appleseed! Gonna have to order that one...

Macross Plus is my favorite all-time...I was really partial to the original macross Saga and New Generation iterations of Robotech, and Macross Plus was a story that built on that history and was tremendously well-done in terms of story and action.

Saw that recently too and it's HOT.

Macross Saga all the way, esp. all Zentraedi mecha & Invid era Alpha fighters.

IMO, don't watch Eva for the Mechas. Watch it because its the fucking best anime evur.

I've seen Macross Zero and Appleseed 2004 now and they rock. Now it's time to get some of the others.
