What's a good anime for somebody who's really only seen old-school stuff?
I used to browse /m/ all the time before the shitposting intensified, and I've seen a lot of the Gundam, Macross, Gainax stuff. My favorite animes include Armored Trooper VOTOMS, Serial Experiments Lain, Giant Robo, Space Cobra, and those shlocky 80s OVAs like Bubblegum Crisis and Kyoumu Senki Miroku.
The most recently produced shows that I've seen and enjoyed are Samurai Flamenco and Shin Mazinger Z (I know, not very recent). I feel like I've blocked myself into this genre of giant robots and self-aware shlockyness, and I've also got a dislike of cheap digital animation and modern character designs so I don't try a lot of shows.
Can I get some recommendations? I obviously like sci-fi but I'm open to anything as long as it isn't too long [spoiler]I'm getting sick of going through all the 50-episode Gundams[/spoiler]. I'm looking for anime, but I'll even take suggestions for [spoiler]Western live-action shows[/spoiler]. Thanks

Do you specifically want mecha anime or action in general? Mecha isn't my thing but I know a guy who watches nothing but mecha, I could ask him

It doesn't necessarily have to be mecha - it's just what I tended to watch. I mostly enjoyed the intricate mechanical designs that came with the genre.
Same thing for action. I usually watch stuff with fighting and a sense of justice, but I really enjoyed watching Lain a couple months ago, and there was no real action there. I guess that I'm looking for something with fantastical elements, but also has some sort of message. Though it was kind of flawed, I really enjoyed SamFlam for that sort of stuff.

Fantastic list!
Is there anything newer that's like these anime, or should I just stick to all the old shit?

Gunbuster.

Since you're more into older shows if you managed to miss "Attack on Titan" then for the love of god give it a try.
As well as the recently ended first season of "Drifters" (same author as Hellsing)

most of the new mech i've seen was made in 3d

Yamato 2199 for the classic feel, maybe?
