So you’re new to the fabulous world of #Mecha Anime huh? A world filled with GIANT Shooty Robots, Tragic Romances and plenty of Political Intrigue. Well here’s our handy dandy guide to the Best FIVE Anime to get you hooked on the Mecha-based Weeb Shit...
Gundam Build Fighters
A (Tournament) Shōnen Battle Anime that draws on the entire history of the Gundam Franchise and contains: Not-So-Giant Shooty Robots, a well developed COHERENT narrative and interesting, quirky characters. It’s so good, our podcast is named after it.

Vandread
Battle of the Sexes? Check! Harem Hi-Jinks? Check! Space Pirates? Check! Wicked cool Mecha designs by Kanetake “I’m the PIMP who designed Gundam Exia” Ebikawa? DOUBLE CHECK!!! Vandread is an AMAZING show that has somehow flown under the radar. Watch it. Then thank us.

RahXephon
RahXephon is unfairly labelled as being hugely derivative of Eva. Ignore those lazy comparisons, IT’S BETTER. Steeped in Mayan mythology and focusing on themes of transcendence, RahXephon is a breathtakingly gorgeous show, with the BEST ENDING of any Mecha anime.

Macross Plus
Created by Shōji Kawamori and Shinichiro “My Shows have SLAPTASTIC Soundtracks” Watanabe, Macross Plus really does have it all. An amazing soundtrack, a pioneering combination of traditional and CG Animation and a DOPE plot and characters. WATCH IT! YESTERDAY!

Code Geass
The best shit that Sunrise have ever thrown money at, that isn’t called “Gundam”, CG is not only one of the finest Mecha anime of all time, it’s one of the finest anime of all time. Watching Lelouch maniacally chew the scenery (and his peers) is a sight to behold.
