Any good mechas left?

The latest and greatest of Japanese Animation. Found something new, or perhaps old and arcane... if it has to do with anime, it goes right here.

RahXephon is a decent mecha anime. It's a bit similar to Evangelion, but there are enough differences to make it not a complete rip off.

I've read that Fafner is supposed to be rather good. I gave up on the this series after ep. 7, but those who have watched the whole thing say that it really improves later on.

Here's a long list of mecha anime from animenfo. Choose your poison, I guess.

Yeah, for Gundam you might also check out Zeta, Double Zeta, and of course Victory. There are tons of good mech series out there. Fafner is awesome! I haven't finished it yet, but my best friend says it's even better than Eva. I thought you'd have liked it more Trog, since the main character is cooler than Shinji. You should give it another chance. ;)

I intend to. The character design of Fafner is really good ( it's a bit reminicient of the Infinite Ryvius characters).

The main reason for my stopping to watch it, was the abundance of other new interesting animes that came out at the same time.

if you want intense mecha action then watch macross plus, Macross Do You Remember Love and gundam 0083... maybe even 0080 and char's counterattack

BTW youre missing out on the real gundam action if all yorue gonna settle for is SEED... SEED sucks

Hmm, Fafner is good but I still like Evangelion better. After all, Shinji is my favorite anime character.

Everyone pretty much said all the series I would recommend except for Kannaduki No Miko which would have been a much better series without mecha.

Big O is also a show that would have been better without the mecha but still you might wanna check it out.

i liked Fafner but only after the 10th ep
the story doesn't follow a clear path in the first eps but when they finally set an objective and begin revealing the true intentions of the (i forgot the name they gave to the "aliens") i gets really god.

Kirby has an ANIME?! That's fucking mad! :roll:

I thought Fafner reminded me a bit about Stellvia. But I only watched a random episode at my friend's place.
