Escaflowne, of course. Just make sure to avoid watching the movie. It's not that great compared to the original anime.

Why not give both a try? The movie is only less than an hour and half, and it has pretty art.

>>375496
Despite the gorgeous art direction, they completely changed Van's personality and most of the things that happen aren't related to the original anime anyway.

>>375512
Fair enough.

>>375485
Nah, OP should watch the TV series. Then the movies later if he wants but it's not necessary.

The 0079 movies have most of the plot relevant scenes and none of the filler. 0079 got cancelled at the time for a good reason, it gets too episodic.

>>375521
Nah. 0079 has surprisingly little actual filler, since most arcs share the same levels of stakes and intensity. Also, you trade in most of the show's best bits for only marginally better action scenes. Just watch the TV series, OP.

Saw both already, loved it (series moreso than movie, but the visuals were worth it)

Old school Gundam it is.

If it helps all the other anons suggestion, I've already seen Eva, Code Geass, and TTGL.

For Ideon also watch the movie Be Invoked, it's quite literally the best mecha anime I've seen.


I'm also really partial to the 2004 remake of tetsujin 28 gou, Tun A Gundam, Gundam War in the Pocket, GaoGaiGar, and Fafner.
The only downside is Fafner's first season (24 episodes) are really just mediocore, but the OVA, movie, and second season (Exodus) is probably the only 2010s mecha I can think of that's good.
