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. | ||

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. | ||

When Tomino says he wants to outdo Eva with his own series Brain Powerd (which kinda failed), it speaks a lot. | ||

Can't go wrong there. I have an irrational, unbreakable mass of nostalgia for Robotech. Grew up with it, etc etc. So I can't really rationally discuss it. With SEED... Part of me thinks it has the hatred it gets because of how atrocious Destiny was. 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). | ||

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. | ||

Infact Tomino denies any connection between the two, but knew they would be compared. Because biological mecha. In reality the two series are VERY different. Eva may be influential, but its still garbage. On September 28 2013 10:14 Sentenal wrote: I have an irrational, unbreakable mass of nostalgia for Robotech.

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. | ||
