0083 starts out as it but ends up becoming a 9/11 false flag conspiracy theory.

Macross Plus has some similar vibes, not to the same extent as Gundam 0083 though

Since Pacific Rim is exactly mecha Top Gun, you should say, what is the anime version of Pacific Rim.

Macross Plus has the MC.

Gundam 0083 has the vibe.

Not as gay as top gun

Gunbuster maybe? It's similarly campy and homoerotic, albeit women instead of men, largely about copilots until they kinda forget about it in the last stretch and it becomes much less important.

Jerid Mesa is definitely Iceman, aesthetic wise, though he acts more like Quattro, kinda. Maverick can be the standard gundam protaganist, but one that isn't a peacelover. They all also pilot a bunch of ReZels.
