Super Robot Anime suggestions? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’ve seen Gurren Lagann (10/10), Code Geass (8/10), and pretty much all of Neon Genesis Evangelion + movies and rebuilds.

Are there any other really good super robot anime?

I watched Darling in the FranXX and had a good time til about episode 18 or so when it jumped the shark.

At one point I tried and dropped Eureka 7, just seemed really childish? Might need a revisit, but the MCs being so young was strange to me.

What other mecha shows are worth the watch? I haven’t ever seen a Gundam show, but did watch Zoids as a kid, hah.

Knights of Sidonia has great visuals and lore ideas but boring storytelling and characters.

Argento Soma had interesting aliens and story but the robots were pretty basic looking.

Bokurano has great visuals and very interesting story, but it has some heavy topics. (Epstein related...) Also I think the manga is better, but the intro to the anime is worth watching just for the song.

Fullmetal Panic has great robot battles, but you might not like the combination of highschool sillyness and serious war story.

Gankutsuou has wonderful visuals and only one Mecha battle in it, but that qualifies it ;). It is an anime adaption of Count Monte Christo

Kenran Butou Sai: The Mars Daybreak has a nice combination of adventure setting and Mecha fights.
