Go Nagai didn't create Getter though. It was Ken Ishikawa! Nagai only helped with the original concept. The franchise is part of the Dynamic Pro catalog, however, because Nagai and Ishikawa were apparently good friends. And FYI; it was the first PILOTED combining robot. Astro Boy may have had the story where Astro combined with other robots but he was a robot himself. |

classicalzawa (and everyone else who liked the Giant Robo OVA), you should definetily give Shin Mazinger a try. It's another crazy awesome re-imagining of a mecha classic by Imagawa and very much in the same vein as GR.
Lots of good shows mentioned in the thread already. I'll write up a few recommendations of my own when I've got the time. |

I will never understand why the movie is not respected as it is. I think it was awesome. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mecha that I loved watching include: -Aldnoah.Zero: Yeah, I know. It has issues. So does life, so whatever. I find the protagonist, Inaho to be extremely bright and capable. -AKB0048: An odd-ball mix of Idol Culture, Future Setting and Mecha. It was so oddm and I -a Metalhead- should have been turned off by it. It wasn't the case. -Bokurano: Psychological Horror and Tragedy as teenagers essentially have to face death for the sake of their homeworld. Loved it. It was intense, and I felt connected to the characters. -Bubblegum Crisis (the Orginal): This baby brought me back to the anime world. The cyberpunk epic set in 2032&2033's Mega-Tokyo. Episode's 5 & 6 were a particular delicacy. -Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 wasn't bad either. Not as good as the original, though. -Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Well, talk about excess in anime format. It's over-the-top, and intense at the same time. Set in an Alternate History world. -FLCL... sorta counts, right? -Knights of Sidonia... but parts of the second season were a bit off for me. -Martian Successor Nadesico: Oh yes. This is one of the best anime ever. A true wonder. An excelent mix of comedy and drama. -Neon Genesis Evangelion: Doesn't need introduction. -RahXephon: I'm going to get a lot of stick for this one, eh? -Suisei no Gargantia: Whose concept I thought was briliant. -The Vision of Escaflowne: The perfect marriage of shounen and shoujo. Practically, a opposite-sex teenage wedding (Japanese language-based joke). In all seriousness, it has one of the most compeling fantasy stories of all time. I still haven't watched the respected Gunbuster, Diebuster, Key the Metal Idol, several Gundam works, Macross, etc. {Combined serial posts. ~nobahn} |

So you have seen neither Robotech nor The Super Dimensional Fortress Macross? If/when you've seen both, then I'd very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the two series here. |

I'm going to say Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu the 2005 re-imaging of the 1976 anime Daiku-Maryu Gaiking. I you like the original or want to see a lesser known mecha anime, give it a watch it's on Hulu right now. Hopefully someday someone can put it on dvd over here(I'm looking at you Discotek Media, you have the original Gaiking so why not this one).
