Your favorite Mecha anime

A lot of us (I know I did and Zero has as well) ruled EVA out right from the get-go

As for why others have it...that's their call

I dont think there is enough Mecha anime. I would like to see Armor Core become an anime cuz its all cool and stuff. Pretty much there is only 1 mecha anime that rules all others and that would be the Gundam series. The mecha that made Gundam possiable would be all of the Zeon's Mobile Suits.

SIEG ZEON!!

I guess you missed out on the 70s and giant robot anime everywhere.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is just a drop in the bucket for giant robot anime. I don't know why everyone praises it like there's no other robot anime out there. I wonder how many more times ADV will find ways to re-release it. It's like the Pokemon of big robot anime! Gotta buy 'em all!

I've got 300 anime DVDs in my collection!

Really? What'cha got?

Neon Genesis Evangelion.

And what else?

That's it.

Frankly I'm still loving the fact the main reason EVA seems like such a standout is mainly because the shows which inspired it simply haven't been brought over yet. (That might change however...there's talk ADV plans to license Space Runaway Ideon, one of the shows which is said to have been a big influence on several aspects of EVA)

You know, I'm going to have to agree with you there. It is plain overkill to me. And why did Manga do the movies when ADV had the series?

Manga probably outbid ADV. Kinda funny how they used the same English voices actors (not that I'm complaining).

I thought Gasaraki was an interesting and well made anime. I would recomend it.

One that I count as one of my favorites, funny and fairly well made, Dai Guard. A little different because it's an old and not so "state of the art" mecha, run by people from the pr department of a security company, and they have to save the world.

Does this mean they're out to save the world for publicity?

Hmm... -NGE, RahXephon, and Esca... hmmm....

Gundam Wing

Gundam SEED

Gundam 08th MS Team.

The first three are technically counted as "mecha", but eh.

Not so much as outbid, but ADV wasn't willing to pay the price that the Japanese studio (or whoever) wanted for the movies.
