i agree turn a is the best mecha ever. everyone just keep underratig it just because it has mustache! its cool man! its cool!
It's got a COCKpit.
that's why its manly
So does Jehuty and it's pretty badass
Gaytaste.
The show was so fucking slow though.
Hmm personally I prefer the Wing Zero. Its what made me like Gundam in the first place.
I grew up with Wing, but now that I've watched them all, I definitely agree that Turn A is first and foremost my favorite Gundam and Gundam series. Then Gundam Wing.
I'm more fond of the war-like, walking and rolling around Gundams and Guntanks, Once they started flying around with wings things turned emo.
BIG O! SHOWTIME!!!
Made during Sunrises golden years. Shame they haven't done more Big O and S-Cry-Ed.
Ryyyyyyyyuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hell the fuck YES! That should've been up there for sure!
This list is garbage
You are being too kind, far too kind--even the Mecha that do deserve to be on that list are in the wrong spots.
Doraemon!
Doreamon though awesome is not a mech he's an autonomous robot.
Definition of Mecha
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha
Mecha is a science fiction genre that centers on robots or machines controlled by people. These machines vary greatly in size, shape, and appearance. Some are little more than cars with arms and legs, while others are giant humanoid constructs. Different sub-genres exist, with varying connotations of realism. Super Robot and Real Robot are two such examples found in Japanese anime.

No Labor from PatLabor?
No Tachikoma from GITS?
Fail!
Pretty sure they'd both be squished in an instant against any of the mechs on the list.
I do not count fully autonomous "suits" as mecha. But also Eva unit is not mecha, it's angel in armor
Motoko is a Mecha.
Did you saw GIT2 Innocence, she can download her persona to a robot, so she is no longer a cyborg, but can be a mecha.
and being so fond of Wikipedia, you should at least read it, there you would find the events i described:
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motoko_Kusanagi
The Major's "ghost" eventually returns in person to help Batou on the Locus Solus gynoid factory ship. Using a satellite transmission, she attempts to download her "ghost" into one of the Hadaly gynoid production models - however, due to the insufficient memory of the gynoid's e-brain, she is only able to download a fraction of her full "ghost" into the doll
and from wikipedias description of mecha:

If we consider Motoko's Ghost a person, and her body being a machine, sin some of the series, this makes her a mecha wise ass.

in sankaku it seems that they have to much presure on there brains
Eva is biomechanical. It's more cyborg than straight mecha
still Eva is a mecha, since it's controlled by people, and also having mechanical components, as well as acting as a machine.

No. Mechanical parts? You mean joints in armor? If i control your brain and suit you in armor, you will be cyborg, not mecha, that's the point, you mean it right but you are wrong. Sophisticated capsule translating controler signal to nervous system doesn't make biological beeing a robot, not technically
citing wikipedia as source.... Eva is considered mecha since someone is just lazy to come up with new category, for me, is calling eva mecha insult, not that I hate the genre, but eva is something more, it's milestone, like gits and akira and if you put something great like that in category you are degrading it. Like if you say about some anime that it's harem, everyone knows 60-80% of the "plot" before seeing even opening of the show
@Octopi
Go on............
Arale Norimaki and Doramon also are completely autonomous and even self aware on a human level.
They're technically they;re not mech but robots or androids in Arale's case.
wrong they are mechas too.

"controlled by people"
you just countered and destroyed your own argument shitlord
arale and doraemon are sentient and autonomous
first look up for the definition of robot, which is included in this thread, before calling people by your personal first name.
This list is an automatic fail if it doesn't have Code Geass in top 3. And besides Evangelion isn't technically a mecha series, it's just some aliens with high tech armor.
Ichinana-shiki Morito Shiratsuki-kai Tsugumori.
bitches
Strike Freedom? Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?
Sad to see no Tachikoma love...
where the fuck is Mazinger Z and Cuy Honey?
and also those robots trashed in modern films
by a Bay guy.
cutey honey is and android not a mech
doesn't anyone realise that the title says"Top 10 Anime Mecha"witch means everything "realeted" to animated giant robot shows?
infact,cutei honey did ride a giant robot in the manga cutey honey 90 remember?
but that doesn't really count
you are so wrong

so almost every show on anime has a mecha, and no giant robots are not the sole mechas in anime, but any mechanical being or machine.
If Knight Rider was an anime KITT would be a mecha.
tell that to the people who brought up definitions before me.
@Octopi
watch out! we got a "MECHA" angry fanboy over here!
here,have a kitty
:D
No Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Mazin Kaiser, UFO Grendizer nor Getter Robots? I'm ashamed of you Japan
neither Chamber nor Optimus Prime ain't on the list...
DAMN
