FYI if you haven't watched Evangelion yet there is a HUGE spoiler in the section for it. Please skip it when it comes up if you plan to watch and don't want spoliers 24:00 – 26:40
For example:Mobile Suit Gundam witch from mercury It is a New show It is comepletely seperate from the other shows The only ones you need to backtrack or watch the start of is Universal century which starts at The first Gundam show Mobile Suit Gundam The Mecha or "Mobile Suits" of UC are usually Blocky
Mecha didn't technically die, with the Witch of Mercury that is a Gundam anime, and another that I forgot but had like fifty episode that come out in the beginning of this year, Isekai sure is dominating, but some people already complaining, because is a short cut for lazy writing, very good Isekai are few and far between, like Log Horizon and The Saga of Tanya The Evil.
Too…much…mecha….anime! My mind is in overdrive. Mecha is probably my favorite genre of anime and this video just about covered all the greats. It was fun reliving all of those excellent series I have watched over the years.
Super Dimension Century Orguss is probably my favorite because almost every character is an absolute hot mess and the mc kei is an emotionally stunted douchebag that barely learns anything
My favorite mecha anime are mobile suit Gundam, super dimensional fortress Macross, neon Genesis Evangellion, Macross frontier, patalabor and Manziger z .
Xabungle, King Gainer, Galient, Turn A, Dunbine, anything from the Robot Romance Trilogy, Giant Robo (OVA), Da-Garn, Gunbuster, and G Gundam appear to be missing. I'll just list 'em here…
Xabungle is notable for having a Desert Punk setting with gas-powered mecha – Mad Max and maybe Duel with giant robots, if you like – and was deliberately written as a comedy. Way back in the early 80s, this show was parodying the genre before anyone else.
King Gainer never bothers to explain what makes its mecha work (it borders on Fantasy in this regard). It has a distinct arctic feel and continues the comedy/parody/heavy drama feel of Xabungle. It's particularly famous for a specific mind reading love declaration scene, the kind that almost no one has the guts to put into anime.
Galient is a straight-up Heroic Fantasy, and the origin of the "whip-sword" you see everywhere nowadays. Why does it have mecha at all, then? Aliens.jpg
Turn A is the director's masterpiece. If Gundams suddenly appeared left and right in the 1920s, what would happen? Easy: this show. Not only that, but virtually everyone actually wants peace in the end, with all the de-escalation that entails. The ending is a visual treat.
Dunbine didn't invent the Isekai/Parallel World plot as a whole, but it definitely did for the Mecha genre. The Aura Battlers all have a distinct insectoid appearance (and technically aren't mecha in the same way as Tekkaman Blade), and the Aura Power they run on is far more plentiful on our world than Bystone Well, leading to an escalating war that makes nuclear winters look cheerful.
The Robot Romance Trilogy consists of Combattler V, Voltes V, and Daimos. The human drama takes more and more precedence with each entry and they're considered classics of the genre.
Giant Robo (OVA) is a mecha series in the sense that there's a Giant Robo(t) in it. But what's actually going on is an escalating conflict between the Espers of the ICPO and the Big Fire Group, over a force which threatens to strip all energy away from mankind. "Can happiness be obtained without sacrifice?" The heroes are heroic, the villains are villainous, and Giant Robo is every bit giant and a robot in a way that no one's really tried to duplicate since.
Da-Garn is the story of a kid who, in the face of an alien invasion, becomes the Captain of a team of robots created by the Earth itself. It's the darkest of the 90s Yuusha series and something of a forgotten gem.
Gunbuster is what happens when no one tells Anno to stop escalating. Like Evangelion but with hard SF instead of pseudo-religion – and if everyone involved took a look at Ideon and though "we can give them a happy ending".
G Gundam is the first successful non-UC Gundam series, and one that gets better with age. Every meme you've seen about it is true and somehow just as sensible in context. You will cry when Domon finally surpasses Master Asia.
(I thought about adding Dougram, which takes the then-unusual route of setting the mecha battles as the side effects of politics, but runs too long. Megazone 23, Fight! Iczer-1, Dangaioh, and Detonator Orgun are interesting, short, and good examples of what was going on in the 80s, but suffer the usual pacing/focus issues plaguing OVA series. And Cat Ninden Teyande is just silly in a way that rivals Samurai Pizza Cats.)
Love the recommendations, but could you add timestamps with names of the shows, Would making adding the show to a watchlist much easier. Thanks in advance!

So glad to see some Gundam Age Love its a great series
Would love this list in writing… Kinda thought to mark it down halfway through lol –
Ill just say this
Not every Gundam show is a part of a large story
For example:Mobile Suit Gundam witch from mercury
It is a New show
It is comepletely seperate from the other shows
The only ones you need to backtrack or watch the start of is Universal century which starts at The first Gundam show Mobile Suit Gundam
The Mecha or "Mobile Suits" of UC are usually Blocky
Mecha didn't technically die, with the Witch of Mercury that is a Gundam anime, and another that I forgot but had like fifty episode that come out in the beginning of this year, Isekai sure is dominating, but some people already complaining, because is a short cut for lazy writing, very good Isekai are few and far between, like Log Horizon and The Saga of Tanya The Evil.
Please do timestamps and titles next time….

Sorry to be that guy but you missed Great Dangaioh.
If you’re only to watch one Gundam Series 08th MS Team is the one, that or G Gundam
is attack on titan one of the must watch?
For another story focused anime with a cool mecha design check out Voices of a Distant Star
Too…much…mecha….anime! My mind is in overdrive. Mecha is probably my favorite genre of anime and this video just about covered all the greats. It was fun reliving all of those excellent series I have watched over the years.
Ah yes superhuman samurai cyber squad. I watched that show when I was a kid. Did not know at the time it was based on a Japanese kiju show.
Super Dimension Century Orguss is probably my favorite because almost every character is an absolute hot mess and the mc kei is an emotionally stunted douchebag that barely learns anything
My favorite mecha anime are mobile suit Gundam, super dimensional fortress Macross, neon Genesis Evangellion, Macross frontier, patalabor and Manziger z .
Mecha anime is truly awesome i mean who doesn't like science fiction stories about humans piloting giant robots in futuristic combat?!

We'll call that 75 then. 😁
Love the recommendations, but could you add timestamps with names of the shows, Would making adding the show to a watchlist much easier.
