Hi all I'm new here. I'm 26 and became intrigued with anime when I first saw a Robotech/Macross episode when I was little. So when it comes to anime I'm a mecha/"giant robot"/sci-fi fan. I could never see Robotech often when I was young and only until about 2 years ago when I discovered Toonami was I able to see it again.
So is anyone else here a mecha/"giant robot"/sci-fi fan? Any suggestions of good clean "giant robot" series?
I haven't seen much of any Robotech episodes so I don't know how overall clean and wholesome it may be. But I'm interested in buying a set or two.
The Big O has also REALLY got my attention. I caught a few episodes on Toonami a year or so ago and have become intrigued with it. The whole detective/batman-like/mecha thing is cool to me. I noticed there is a 13 episode collector's set out and have been thinking about getting it. However I'm not entirely sure if I should.
If there's one thing I'm apprehensive about with anime it's how it will go smoothly and coherent then out of no where it gets SUPER WEIRD and full of fanservice and/or mysticism or humanism. I hate that. It's so annoying.

I'd definately recommend Gundam Wing for the "giant mecha" category. I loved it, personally. Warning wise, the uncut has a few swearing, and some blood, but no nudity I know of. Toonami has some edited dvds out there, I believe. Definately worth it, as is the OVA, Endless Waltz.

Thanks for the welcome.
Yes I forgot to mention that I like Gundam. However at this point I'm confused by most of it. I saw 08th MS Team on Toonami and thought it was great. I also saw some of the 0080 series and like it as well.
I had bought a used copy of Endless Waltz but the dvd skipped so I took it back.
Is there an edited version of 08th MS Team available? I remember reading somewhere that the unedited version has some choice language and a fanservice scene in it.

Watch the unedited version mate. The CN version sucks. The villians evil-ness is downplayed, the emotional tragedies, the desperat preservation of life, I could go on and on...
