I've gotta finish Dragonar right now.
and when /m/ finishes subbing Layzner in like ten years i'll watch that too. I guess.. Even though I usually can't stand Takahashi

Well, despite my hatred for Eva, I can hardly deny its influence...
LoGH is great and my favorite anime, but I only consider it "honorary mecha", so I won't include it.
I'd throw Robotech, Gundam SEED, Turn A, Zeta, Gunbuster, Getter Robo Armageddon, Shin Mazinger, Giant Robo, GaoGaiGar, and Escaflowne in my top 10 list. I feel like Patlabor should be in there too, but making a top 10 is harder than I thought. Anyway, you can probably see why I refrain from posting in lots of /m/ threads with two of those favorites I just listed lol
FMP is good/solid, but not top-10 worth IMO... Unless you are talking about the LNs. Everything in the LNs that happens after the anime ended is better than what was animated.

Been rewatching S1 and Im thinking of picking up the manga since I hear it turns "dark" and "serious". =O Mmm I think its far enough a head where they could do a S3 right now. Its on break atm and the next chapter won't come out until december tho It does get a lot darker when they start to interact more with Synapse and some of the other characters and reveals that come from that. Right now it all depends on the author what way he wants to continue, he could go for the "everything works out" type or basically make it pretty freaking sad. There is also a lot of interesting connections that have been made from some of the early elements so it should be cool to see how it shakes out. afaik there are some significant differences between the anime and the manga (especially when it comes to how S2 ended) Ah, everything I needed to know, thanks. Ill consider catching up on the manga before S3 comes around. S3 was also announced on MAL but still no official date yet, I hope itll be soon. I forgot how much I actually enjoyed this series 2-3 years ago.
Yea its a fun little series, that really starts to ramp up into being serious as all the prevailing issues that were only touched upon start to become the focus.

Yeah. I understand why /m/ might not be the most appealing to you 
Oh god, I forgot Patlabor for a second. Can't go wrong there.

I don't really consider Planetes mecha....that's like calling GitS mecha....

I probably have a good bit of nostalgia with SEED as well, but I only watched it like.. 5, 6 years ago? So its not like I grew up with it. I thought it could stand on its own pretty well, despite some obvious flaws (stock footage/recap episodes).

/m/ hates SEED not because it was a bad series, but because of the huge popularity it gained, which /m/ considers undeserved. Similarly, TTGL is hated as well for the same reasons.

Similarly, TTGL is hated as well for the same reasons. At least with TTGL they will admit they hate the fanbase more than the anime. And indeed, Gurren Lagann has a terrible fanbase. With SEED its like irrational hatred, like Fukuda ran over their dog or stole their lunch money as a kid or something.

Eva may be influential, but its still garbage.

/m/ hates SEED because of Destiny. Not because it got popular. They continue to rage because it IS popular
TTGL isn't hated, its fanbase is.

omg pls no

I'm perfectly content to just live in a fantasy world and pretend that Destiny never happened. Thus, that preserves my feelings for SEED.
Also, Gundam Wing sucks unless you are like a 13 year old in middle school. Which is the target audience, so w/e. Gundam Wing is a good example of why lots of plot twists don't make for a good plot.
