Since you guys are the experts on Mecha anime, I wanted to ask mecha recommendations because /a/ is a fuckfest and I would rather ask the experts on this shit.

Don't recommend me Gundam, I have no idea why but for some reason I didn't really like it. I really have no idea why. It's not the age of the art because I've seen really old shit like Ogon Bat and enjoyed it.

You fuckers probably get this type of shit-tier thread, my apologise in advance.

Also I know, fucking Daimidaler isn't great. But it gave me some good laughs at how fucking dumb it is at times.

>>14969532
>fucking Daimidaler isn't great.
Except it is.

It's a great homage to Go Nagai / Ken Ishikawa adaptations.

Watch the Getter ovas, Mazinkaiser, Mazinkaiser SKL, Shin Mazinger, Koutetsushin Jeeg.

Then for non DP, there's Godannar and GaoGaiGar.

It was honestly one of the better shows to come out recently and actually knew exactly what it is and what it wants.

As for others, try
Gakusaver
Gaiking LoDM
Iron Leaguer
Goldran
Da Garn
J Decker
Big O
Tiger & Bunny
Zone of the Enders: Dolores
most Dynamic shows like Shin Jeeg or the Getter OVAs

Watch G gundam

I know you said no Gundam but this is different from all other Gundams, it's quite literally Gundam meets nekketsu battle shonen(mostly Kurumada stuff like Ring ni Kakero and Saint Seiya).

Well I mean, if you're into battle shonen then watch it

Also for this, yeah sure I'll go check it out. I might re-try the other gundam series while I'm at it as well.

do you guys think there is any show missing from this one?

You or anybody else can shit on Daimidaler all you want, but you have to admit Koyasu's speech in the last episode is epic and has a lot of truth to it.

Here's the entire series of Ganbaruger subbed. It's part of the Eldoran series which is generally well-received around here.

The channel also has Webdiver too if you're so inclined. The CG is complete ass but the story is pretty good and it has a good VA cast.

I did say it wasn't great, but I think it's still a good anime.
What I consider great would be 8-9/10 type of shit.
While 10/10 would be fantastic.
So I'm not really shitting on it.

Sokihei M.D. Geist (装鬼兵MDガイスト, Sokihei M.D. Gaisuto?) is an anime and manga about a post-apocalyptic world. The series is extremely violent, often depicting graphic scenes of human dismemberment and evisceration.

Geist (the main character) is MD-02, a Most Dangerous Soldier, genetically engineered to function as a killing machine, but every one of the MDS units went homicidally insane. As a result Geist was placed in suspended animation in a stasis pod orbiting the planet Jerra until it crashed several years later, awakening him and bringing him into another war on the planet.

M.D. Geist was originally released in Japan by Nippon Columbia and re-released under the Denon label. It was released in the U.S. by Central Park Media in 1992; two years prior, the company used Geist as the logo for their mainstream anime label U.S. Manga Corps. Curiosity by fans over U.S. Manga Corps' logo boosted domestic sales of the OVA and prompted Central Park Media to collaborate with co-creator Koichi Ohata in producing a sequel. In 1996, Central Park Media released M.D. Geist - Director's Cut, featuring roughly five minutes of additional footage - including a new introduction and epilogue that paved the way for the sequel. Months later, CPM released M.D. Geist II: Death Force. In addition, the company commissioned Ohata and American artist Tim Eldred to illustrate the comic book adaptation.

In the United States, the Sci Fi Channel premiered M.D. Geist I and II during their Ani-Monday block at midnight E.S.T. September 29 and October 6, 2008 respectively. Following the closure of Central Park Media, M.D. Geist was re-licensed by ADV Films and will be re-released on DVD on July 2009.[1]

Evangelion, RahXephon, Dunbine, any alternate universe gundam series that is not Age or Iron Blooded Ovaries, Orguss, Dai-Guard, Zegapain, Majestic Prince, Gravion, the original Zoids, the Aquarion trilogy, Godannar, VOTOMS, Giant Gorg, Neo Ranga, Big O, and Shin Mazinger are all god places to start. There is also any entry in the Braves/Yuusha franchise worth looking into save for Goldran. Also avoid Patlabor, Southern Cross, Valvrave, and Infinite Ryvius, too many trolls hype those for no good reason.

Ignore this bit. Patlabor is genuinely a very well loved show.

Who even talks about Southern Cross? That is probably the most obscure show listed in this thread.
>>
>>14969677
Do people actually like the Patlabor TV series?

I finished the movie and the OVAs, watched the first episode and was so put off by the change in style and atmosphere that I couldn't bring myself to continue watching.
>>
>>14972195
it's trash
>>14972092
>Hey yo fuck you, Goldran is great.
It's meh, the characters and music are horrid
>>
>>14972229
TV series seems to be experiencing an uptick in popularity as of late.

Or it's just a few people hyping it up over the OVA and films.

There's a lack of inquisitionposting though, so color me disappointed either way.

How the fuck they never get tired of the same kawaii uguu shit is beyond my comprehension.
>>
>>14972229
I had a similar experience as you, though I got to somewhere around 30 before stopping. I can confirm that for many years /m/ considered this opinion unusual.
>>
>>14972229
I like all Patlabor that I've watched. The only one release I haven't watched is the live action (because nosubs lol).

What do you mean by the change in style and atmosphere? The movies are all different from each others. The only similar thing is that they're all serious.
>>
>>14972262
Yeah I went to /a/ when I was searching through 4chan in general to find my "home" board. That was one of the things I saw, found it retarded and moved on, I heard some old 4chan lore and the civil war with /a/ and the rest of the site. Kinda says it all really.
>>
This is op, I've heard Iron-blooded orphans is shit from multiple people and some in this thread. Some of the designs for the mechs look good but I've read more into it abit....
Creepy man is creepy and ooga boogas a loli. Is that the entire plot? I wouldn't be surprised at this point with how there is a rise in more shitty anime by each season.
>>
>>14972442
I haven't watched the past few episodes, but that's basically a political arrangement and it's basically a footnote. The actual plot is quite different.

And for what it's worth, /m/ calls every show shit, loudly and often (especially current /m/).
>>
>>14972229

The only real issue I had with the TV series is that Takeo could have made a better first impression.

She didn't really make a bad one, so much but it was just very....bland.
>>
>>14969551
>Except it is.
No it's not, it's just trash and it's really unfunny.
>>
>>14972229
It was an enjoyable sitcom with robots
>>
>>14972442
Orphans isn't even that bad, especially since you can just marathon it. I was and still am watching it weekly, it's got it's drops in the first season but so far the second has been taking strides to improve upon what it had.
There is a good six episode chunk in the middle of the first season that drags its ass, but it's still overall decent.
If you feel inclined you can watch the first season, or you can get all these recommendations out of the way first because by then the second season will probably be complete as well.

>>14973724
So I should go with a dub name rather than what the original writer wrote down? Eat your burger, Apollo.

>>14973738
Getter, patlabor, Dancouga to name a few. More fringe /m/ stuff you got things like LoGH, Tiger and Bunny, and Guyver.

I'll level with you, mostly I'm a huge Getterfag and it being left off that list but putting garbage like that on the list triggered my autism severely.

キャシャーン is Casshaan. I don't care about impressing anyone, that's literally just the direct translation so that's what I say.

Sins or the original? Because sins really REALLY wasn't. Have only a small knowledge of the original so I can't say about that one.

>>
>>14974633

It's a popularity thing mostly. The show's not without merit but it invited a metric fuck ton of mecha "fans" who don't want to put in any effort to get into the genre beyond quoting Kamina
>>
>>14974624
For me it's that while the first arc is good and enjoyable for a time then bad for a couple episodes then great, the middle and ending arcs waste a bunch of time meandering to get to an end that is the biggest let down epilogue ever.
>>
>>14974642
I enjoyed Gurren Lagann but I've to agree with this. I really didn't like how Simon's depression arc went on for a stupid amount of time that felt like forever. The ending was trash, besides the main characters and the characters first arc mechs looked original the fucking future arcs mechs just looked like gundam rip-offs which I thought was boring.
I also thought the whole political thing for the anime was really dumb, I find that shit for a short anime.
I liked the battles though, thought they were pretty hype at times, however that's just me and I like hype mech battles going on.
The whole romance thing at the ending arc was also retarded.
I'm also probably forgetting something.

Up to Lord Genome it was a nice simple yet very well executed adventure. Follows the Joe Campbell layout to a T, but it was entertaining
