All-time, I'd say probably Big O and Gundam 0083, since those were 2 of the series that got me into anime. Although I also quite enjoyed RahXephon and Full Metal Panic as well.

Haven't seen Nadesico yet, though I've been seeing some interesting things about it.
Theme Scripture: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)

And a verse for all us single folks: Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? (1 Corinthians 9:5)

Hm, I already threw in Eva, but I must throw in my personal favourite, Giant Robo the Animation.

Yeah, definitely the best.

I love Dual better than NGE.I enjoy them both,but I like the fact that Dual is more
humorous and angst free,well doesn't have as much angst let me say.And who can't help but want poor Mitsuki Sanada to get her Kazuki in the end.

I rewatched ep.12 of Evangelion yesterday.As I said elsewhere(not on this forum,I don't think)Hikari would have made a better candidate for the Second Child than
Asuka as she's a lot more calm and collected.

Gundam SEED. Best mecha anime I've seen.

Then again, I haven't seen a lot of mecha anime. :P

I'm one of the few people that I know who really doesn't like Gundam Wing much at all. Seed is alright. But I'm definately more into ones like Escaflowne, Nadesico and all those.

When I saw the term "Big Robot," I immediately thought of those superheroish over-the-top giant robot shows that were popular in Japan several decades ago...before the Gundam and Macross type of shows become popular.
But regardless...
I enjoyed the Macross part of Robotech and what I saw of Gundam Seed and Full Metal Panic.

I've somewhat felt that Nadeisco, while a decent series, is rather overrated. I haven't seen all of it, but the transitions from drama to humor felt awkward and forced at times to me.
I felt FMP pulled off drama/humor transitions better.

The Vision of Escaflowne and Neon Genesis Evangelion are my top two in this genre, mos' def. I also greatly enjoy Gundam Seed. It's the best Gundam series to come about since the 1970 Mobile Suit Gundam.

I'm not really big on Mecha or "Big Robot" titles. I'd have to say Dual was the only one I really cared for.

Strawberry Panic! 1

Is it bad that I am already completely mesmerized by this one?
