You might like Yamato/Starblazers too.
I’ll cast a vote for Escaflowne. It was equal parts anime, mech suits, and steam punk. Not the best overall, but some really good action just about every episode.
Can’t forget the music. I still believe some of Yoko Kanno’s best are from her earlier works.
Break Blade (AKA Broken Blade). 5 out of 6 episodes are out, but I’m giving this an FC recommendation. It’s a mech anime. But, what stands out for me is that it doesn’t start with the pilot “magically” knowing how to operate the mecha or using a frakking manual to learn during combat. Plus, the story is more mature than typical Gundam series.
Go watch. You won’t be sorry.
The last episode has been out a couple of weeks, and I just finished. Excellent series. Great story and excellent visuals. Do yourself a favor and watch. Then, pray to whatever supreme being you worship that they’ll continue the story.
