>don't really like Macross (original was okay, sequels do not look remotely appealing)
Has he done designs for any other shows? Are any of them worth watching?
There's Aquarion which transforms and combines and has a super long punch.
I don't know how the show is, I only played SRW.

take your pick

The show has its moments, just like its sequels, but overall I'd say there's more filler stuff than needed.

Lots of his designs are not anime related.
Go with the list here: >>15225696
Just make sure to stick to series he made only mechanical designs for. None of Kawamori's work as a director or writer has any worth.Except maybe AKB0048 but I didn't see that

>aquarion
saw it, but wasn't to my tastes

So it looks like the list is Patlabor (but only the later series?), Gyrozetter, Crusher Joe: The Movie, and Kissdrum: Engage Planet (also Blue Submarine No. 6 if we include non-mecha shows). Are any of those non-shit?

He did the designs for Armored Core? That's another reason for me to get into that series.

Gundam 0083
Mecha designs by Kawamori.

>He did the designs for Armored Core?
Not all of them. The PS1 and PS2 era, yes. PS3 era games got different designers, but they hired him to design AC:fA's White Glint.

I'm still flabbergasted that he didn't also design the Xamel, considering how AC-like it is.

He has done design work for many other things, though the series they are in are all shit, as you have probably gathered from the rest of this thread.
