What are some good mecha/mecha-like designs that manage to keep

Pretty much any robot from the 70s. Take your pick. Most stuff from the 80s is good too. Mecha didn't start being stupidly busy and overdesigned until the 90s, and even then, it was only a handful, the majority of it coming from western artists. Same is true today, though you do see a bit more crappy overdesigned shit than you used to from Japanese developers, like VVV, Demonbane and so forth. Hell, it's for that very reason I have a bit of an issue with Mazinkaiser.

Simplest Mazinger is best Mazinger

I really wish they kept his x1 design. I have no idea what they were thinking with the booblights

Always prefered the Megaman Zero design.

I think that's why the original Gundam series is so popular.

The mechs are all simple, semi blocky, designs. And they all work aesthetically with that in mind.

I was never a big fan of it myself. It's one of my favorite designs in the MMZ series, but that's not saying a lot for me.
It doesn't look the slightest bit mecha to me, and the art style making him indistinguishable from a girl isn't doing it any favors

>It doesn't look the slightest bit mecha to me
Thats the point. Soon in the future Reploids and Human are so alike that its hard to distinguish one another.

Can he shoot lasers from his boobs?

It's just a false head for distracting enemies.

I like it.

It didn't start that way and original Mega Man isn't much different. It just looks like a kid in a blue jumpsuit with a helmet and an arm cannon

I never really liked robots that had 100% humanoid anime faces though

Base design is pretty simple, anyway. Once he starts animating though, things get complicated real quickly.
