I liked her outfit, but Hime is clearly 2nd Tomino's best girl, 1st being Diana.
NellyBrain was BrainPowerd best girl.

> Each season, there are guaranteed to be a few mecha anime—usually following a young male protagonist who ends up as the pilot of a super powerful giant robot and becomes the good guys’ only hope for victory.

Beautiful.

While this thread is up, is Escaflowne worth a watch?
>>13548492
Yeah, the TV series is quite good and the film has some fucking fantastic visuals and visual direction.

Man Kouji is really cute with that apron on.

Underrated post
Only thing i'd add is Gunbuster

>a dark twist on Gundam
This was literally the only "space colony attacks the motherland" mecha anime they could think of?
>>13546571
Obligatory.
For general recommendations, lurk. See WebM threads and older archived threads in desustorage for material you like.

Evangelion is overrated, but if you absolutely must watch then I highly suggest watching a fair bit of other anime before diving into it
