frist off, let me just say im posting this topic half asleep please forgive my typoes.

i want to invest in some good mecha anime. some type of high-tech android girl anime. i got some good idea on what i mite get. i was wondering if you knew any good mecha anime that goes a little into the tech thay use and not just calls them 'robots' (like steel angel kurumi). something like ghost in the shell or armitage or something with a scienifik theme to it. if you dont know any, dont waste my time and post something pointless.

Gasaraki might be a good one, but that's mostly political/war themed with lots of character development; no android girls though.

Bubblegum Crisis 2040 has girls in mecha suits, and one (or is it two?) who is a boomer....

there was a thread a few months ago I think about android girls, that might be helpful for you. Let's see if I can think of some.

Alita/Gally (Battle Angel Alita)
Mahoro Ando (Mahoromatic)
Melfina (Outlaw Star)
Tima (Metropolis)
and my favoritesL
Alpha, Motoko, and the other 2 who are in the manga but not theOVA (YKK, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikyo)

there's an andriod in episode 10 or 11 of kokoro library, but I don't think it's what your after.

Check out the original All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku series. One of the best android girl series around. The manga's coming to the states pretty soon.

Saikano is a great series, and since you mentioned Ghost in the Shell go and buy the first DVD of Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone complex. Just came out

Not sure if it's exactly what you want but Gunparade March is a very solid new mecha anime. Mixes a some action, a little romcom, and a lot of surprisingly emotive content. It doesn't follow the classic one-or-two kids vs the baddies cliche either, but has conscripted kids as part of a unit. The art style is very nice, too.

argentosoma. dosnt have that much in the way of fan service (though its got girls, just no questionable positions or camera angles

) but as far as the rest of your description goes, it fits prefectly. and dosnt boggle you down with too many political/war themes, which is a releaf for once.
