Neo_Crimson posted:Any recommendations for Super Robot shows? I've watched, and liked, Gurren Lagann, G-Gundam, Gunbuster, and Diebuster. I've tried Shin Mazinger and GaoGaiGar, but couldn't really get into either. Giant Robo is a fantastic 7 episode OVA series by the same director as g gundam and shin mazinger. If you don't mind old manga I'd also recommend the Getter Robo saga.

Seconding the Patlabor recommendation. There's also a Patlabor simulwatch planned, so you could wait for that. Also, there are no Evangelion OVAs, so i'm not sure what you're talking about.

I love it when people act like anime is the only medium ever to have female characters that are just there to be cute and/or sexy. Nothing else has ever done that, no sir.

I would like a show to watch, if it is easily accessible on netflix or crunchyroll then all the better. doubly better if it has dubs so I can watch while playing video games but subs are fine too wtf Seriously though, try paranoia agent. It reminds me of Welcome to the NHK in many ways, although it's a bit more psychedelic and hosed up.

I don't think there's much that beats TTGL in terms of scale, but scale isn't necessarily an indicator of quality. As others have said, try the gunbuster+diebuster combo.

), and at least the first season seems to be well-liked. The basic premise sounds like shonen standard fare, though, which I'm not too keen on. Worth a try?

Torquemadras posted:Whelp. I went ahead and watched me some Darker than Black and Giant Robo. It'd be kinda silly to choose, since I can watch both no problem, but of those two, Giant Robo is the CLEAR winner. I'm glad you're enjoying Giant Robo, it is very good. If you want more by the same director when you're done consider checking out Shin Mazinger Z

To TorqueMadras: It's worth noting that Giant Robo is very loosely based on a 50's manga of the same name by Yokoyama Mitsuteru, and the now stereotypical robot that you control from the inside was popularized by Go Nagai's 70s manga Mazinger Z

Off the top of my head i can't think of a single mecha that requires you to hang onto the side to operate. Daisaku controls Robo through his wristwatch, he does not need to be in physical contact with it. Also Torq, when you're done with the show I highly recommend checking out the commentary track. I found it really cool and interesting.

Sorry if this isn't the thread for it but I figured I'd give it a shot It sounds vaguely like detective conan/ case closed, but i think that's about a detective being turned into a child due to a chemical potion, not spirit possession.

CommissarMega posted:Been watching Patlabor, and I'm loving the poo poo out of it. Seeing how 'normal' the robots are, as opposed to being superweapons or even military-only vehicles, is something I never knew I'd find appealing. Any other mecha shows like this? Patlabor's kind of one--of-a-kind in that sense, unfortunately. However, it might interest you to know there's a Patlabor simulwatch planned for sometime next year.

Torquemadras posted:I have decided I need more mecha anime in my life. Patlabor is fantastic, but it's strength doesn't really lie with the robots,so to speak. There are 2 Patlabor continuities. The first consists of the roiginal OVA series (clled the Early Days) and all three movies. The second consists of the tv series and the second OVA series (called the New Files). Both are worth watching. I should also mention I'm planning a Patlabor simulwatch sometime later this year, so if thats of interest to you you might want to hold off. In more general Mecha recommendations, your request of psuedo-realism is a bit tricky. Many series have moments of it but rarely stick to it, so to speak. Nonetheless, here's a short list of good mecha shows: Gunbuster, and its sequel Diebuster Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (perfect if you want to dip your feet into gundam) Shin Mazinger Z (Same director as Giant Robo) If you're not averse to old manga, I suggest you check out the Getter Robo saga (consisting of Getter Robo, Getter Robo G, Getter Robo go, Shin Getter Robo and Getter Robo Arc). Getter Robo was cited as the main inspiration for TTGL, and it's very easy to tell if you're familiar with both. You might also want to check out the OVA Getter Robo Armageddon if you're unsure about the manga, although I personally dont care for it much.

VOTOMS is good, but I find it difficult to recommend a 50-ish episode series. also he said he wanted " I want shows where you feel the sheer weight and size of awesome, earth-shattering war machines" and the VOTOMS mechs are tiny and not very impressive power-wise

What the gently caress. That sure were some two and a half hours I meant to spent on work. Instead, I watched the deadliest football of all time, incredibly merciless and unceremonious love interest death, existentially terrifying time dilatation, an astounding amount of anime tiddies and robots doing pushups. Also, the second-best sudden shift to color in anime I've seen. One hell of a ride. Again, it does show its age, but I really didn't care.
(or rather 
, I guess?)

Torquemadras posted:Okay so I watched all of Diebuster. It's good and I might actually like it more than Gunbuster. Action is sometimes a bit incomprehensible, but drat that is some good looking anime right there. Also, ridiculously awesome mechs. I don't like space that much as a setting as opposed to - I guess - ground-based mech action, but no complaints here. Also, no, I refuse to believe Nono's dead, she's out there somewhere crawling out of a singularity I'm glad you enjoyed it, I really love Diebuster's ending and how it ties in to Gunbuster
