As far as story goes, i don't think there is no doubt that NGE is the best (or at least one of the best) mecha anime. Code Geass is also pretty good, meaning the non retarded parts of the show (about 20% of it).
As a whole, i have to say 08TH MS Team is my favorite, nice action, realistic combat and characters, and pretty entertaining overall.
But let's be honest, mecha shows are all about hot robot action, and the Gundam IGLOO ovas just win in that aspect (while having almost no story or character development).
Hey Konandora, have you by any chance watched this one mecha show in Korea a long time ago where the main character wore this golden suit thing and his mech was a lion that transformed and got additional parts that powered it up? I remember I watched like every single episode of it and I loved it to death but I can't remember what it was called. It's been bugging me for like four years now. There were these other mechas in it but they all were sentient beings themselves, if I remember correctly. In particular I remember that there was these blue and red dudes that were able to merge together to become a stronger mecha, and later on they met their green and yellow counterparts. The main character had this special move in his mecha where he put his hands together and thrust into the enemy and pulled out their core or something.

The irony of kona not knowing what this is when he mentioned it in his OP...

I agree about 08TH MS Team, such a great series. If you love gundam and are sick of annoying characters/writing watch this.
oh man da garn brings back my childhood memories I remember the toy having that globe thing in the chest you can push to take it all apart into car/train/jet
Please tell me that kid did not just summon a Giant Robot with a Star of David.
Because if Jews get Giant Robots that is totally imba.
Also, UC Gundam is Best Gundam, as well as being the best Mecha, in general.
For the most part, I'm more of a real robot fan, I'm not big into the super robot shows. I liked Macross, Gundam and Metal Armor Dragonar (a show that was basically missed because of Gundam, but its pretty damn good). Most of the other Tomino flicks are pretty good too.
My biggest pet peeve with Gundam is every time I say it people automatically think Gundam Wing. Or Seed. Or worse that second Seed. No I mean Mobile Suit Gundam. I mean Newtypes and massive colony drops. I mean beautiful 80s animations and over the top voice acting. And most of all I mean Char. Char F***ing Aznable.
