I don't know what your tastes are; mecha is extremely varied. Chances are you'll like most mecha if you liked those, but I don't know that you did, so all I can do is throw things out there.

>Gunbuster (Space Opera/Drama)
My number one pick for people getting into mecha. A true classic made with passion, emotion oozing out of every scene, awesome character and mecha design, also only six episodes long. Directed by the same man who did Eva, and in my opinion far superior to Eva.

>Full Metal Panic (Romantic comedy/Drama)
Not the best show out there, but easily one of the most accessible. Very palatable to the modern anime watcher, especially one who spent a large amount of time on /a/. Received an animated sequel in Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid, which I legitimately believe is one of the best /m/ works ever made. Also receiving more animated sequels next year, so watching this will help you get current.

>Armor Hunter Mellowlink (Revenge Drama)
A spin-off of the popular Armored Trooper VOTOMS, but you don't need to have watched VOTOMS to understand this. This short OVA is basically a showcase of some of the most creative fight scenes mecha has to offer on account of it being about a 100% ordinary infantrymen fighting giant robots on foot. No supersoldier genes, no superpowers, just a big gun, a quick mind and a lot of luck. I prefer it to VOTOMS for that alone, even though VOTOMS has much more of a story. Still, it's 12 episodes vs. 50 episodes or VOTOMS, so watching this first might be a good way to ease yourself into the setting to see if you want to watch more. The main series VOTOMS is pretty high tier too if you do feel like starting there, though

>Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Martial arts/Action)
One of many works by Yasuhiro Imagawa and easily his most accessible. Chock full of passionate speeches, over the top attacks, and unfortunately, stock footage. But it's still a fun story and a great way to get used to the more ridiculous side of mecha

if it triggers you make a better one

But getting angry and complaining takes a lot less effort than making a new chart. So fuck you and fuck Samurai 7 being included over shows that I like.

>>14983386

I bet you like SEED you turbopleb

>>14983416
I don't care for any Gundam really, but SEED sucks ass. Samurai 7 isn't as bad as SEED but it still blows.

which one to try from metal heroes?

>>14981638
Mazinkaiser, Gunbuster, Gaogaigar and MSG for mecha

Kabuto, W for KR (Kuuga is great, but should be saved for later)

Gavan or Winspector for metal heroes, both recently subbed

Also give Garo a try. Either first series or The Animation.

>which one to try from metal heroes?
There are 15-16 metal series, but only a few done in english.

If you like SPACE COP, try Gaban. Pro: was the first one (1982) and has some recent movies (2013). Bad: a little bit dated (visually).

If you like KAIJU x MECH, try Juspion (1985). Pro: a crazy mix of cool shit (robots, witches, monsters, satan) with great OST. Bad: closed show (no sequences) with warm beginning.

If you like POLICE THEME, try Winspector (1990). Pro: more "real" themes, criminal style, no monsters. Bad: a little bit light-hearted in general.

Download the first episode of each one, watch and decide. It's the better way.
