I would recommend Naruto and Rurouni Kenshin, then. ^_^ (They are both a tad graphic in some violence scenes, however, so please beware if that is something you don't like.)

I've always liked Steam Detectives, myself. Sort of like what Batman would look like in a steampunk/Studio Ghibli universe.

Naruto is excellent. I don't know what your standards are; if you can accept alot of 'questionable' things, I'd recommend Neon Genesis Evangelion (excellent translation, esp. for a Viz title). I also thought Big O was a decent 'giant robot' action title; it's very clean (especially when compared to Evangelion, heh-heh) and has good characters.

What exactly was Big O about. I've got so many story lines adrift in my head, that I confuse them.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

It was about a city where, 40 years ago, all the inhabitants lost all memories and records of their history. The main char., Roger Smith, is the city's top negotiator. In between negotiating, he kicks butt in a giant black robot called Big O. The story revolves around his search for the meaning of his own existence and his grappling with memories from before 40 years ago that he spontaneously acquires. Other dudes with giant robots want to grasp the meaning behind life too, so they generally try to destroy or conquer the city. Roger's all like, "We ain't havin' that," and breaks out with some Big O beatings.

it's cool. he's got a robot for a main squeeze, a transforming car and a robot with rocket punches. What else could you want?
