It just hit all the right notes.
Outstanding music
Awesome modern retro art style
Superior new VAs
Crazy, fun story
Great action in and out of the mecha
Never overstayed its welcome
That fucking narrator, man
Mecha be a decaying husk of an anime story element, but shows like this prove that there's still some life in the Emperor's corpse even still. I can't help but smile at almost every single scene, and I don't even think much of Mazinger otherwise.
I adore Armageddon, and I think people who find it confusing after watching the whole thing are retarded.
But I'm still newer to mecha, there's a lot of great shit I need to watch still.
Big O's first season.
giant robo or turn A
New Getter Robo. Original Gundam and Mellowlink are close seconds though, and Legend of Galactic Heroes might replace Getter Robo for my favorite once I finish it.
(Just finished Episode 50 yesterday and watch 2 episodes every weekday, taking a break on the weekends.)
Getter Robo, M.D. Geist and Armored trooper votoms.
I've seen maybe 50 mecha shows by now but 0079 is still my favourite

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
Probably Gunbuster or Zeta.
I also really like Shin vs. Neo.
Gundam is the obvious answer, but besides that Patlabor.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: Bernie's burger cookoff.

It's barely even mecha, admittedly, but it's damn good.
Escaflowne and RahXephon are close seconds.
G-Gundam.
For one, it has the most realistic way to pilot a MS. It had some seriously "epic" moments, the music was cool. Plus I mean it was my first gundam so theres that bias.
Uhhh. Allenby? And uhhh, Chibodee. They're cool too. Chibodee had all the cuties and was American hero. What about Tequila Gundam or the Hurricane Gundam? They're just so stupid it's awesome. Sometimes I think people area bit too hard on the series though but thats to be expected.
The whole story was shonen and junk but it was still good! We got giant robots and fighting, and there was some intrigue. Rain was hot, and the love story between her and Doman was really cute for me growing up. I really liked it :3

SDF Macross
>>14717116Eureka 7
Evangelion. I accept it's faults though.
Gunbuster
Solid, moving plot, great characters, animation was great, beautiful soundtrack, it's not longer or shorter than it needs to be, and you can watch it in an afternoon
>Diebuster sucked ass tho

Gunbuster is a masterpiece in my eyes. Noriko's character development to become like her father, taking scenes from Getter robo G and elevating them to truly epic levels and all the things you mentioned make me love this OVA so much.
You couldn't take away an episode of Gunbuster because they're all super essential (unlike diebuster where you could get rid of episode 3)
If I had to complain about something then I would complain about certain things just not told like what happened to Noriko's mom
SDF macross or evangelion, i can't decide between the two. although in evangelion case im not sure if i like the anime or the manga more

Gunparade march and strain.
Victory is my favorite gundam at the moment.
