[Top 10] Best Mecha Anime – Must Watch!

I’ve mentioned this anime once before, in my top 10 loli characters because the character Yoshino was here. But anyway, the anime is about a post-apocalyptic Eurasia, which suffered a massive spatial quake that resulted in the deaths of over 150 million people.

Since then, though, these quakes have plagued on the world on a much lighter scale. Shidou Itsuka thought he was an average high school student, living with his little sister Kotori, but when he’s caught in a spatial quake and rushes to save her, he’s contacted by a Spirit. Spirits are otherworldly entities whose very appearance triggers spatial quakes, and since then, he’s been caught in a battle between the Spirits and the Anti-Spirit Team, who seek to kill them all.

However, the third party that believes in saving the spirits, the Ratatoskr, is led by his own sister, Kotori! And the only way to save the spirits? Make them fall in love with him!

The year is 2015. The world now stands on the very edge of being destroyed, and the last hope for the world lies in Nerv – an agency that works for the United Nations – and their Evangelions, giant machines that can destroy the very beings that leave Earth close to being destroyed.

However, the world’s fate lies in the hands of 14 year old Shinji Ikari, son of the organization’s head. Now, he must pilot the Evangelion Unit-01!

Okay, so there are like, ten versions/series of Code Geass, so forgive me if I’m talking about one right in the middle of the overarching plot.

In the year 2010 (remember this was made in, like, 2007) the Holy Empire of Britannia is quickly becoming one of the top military units in the world. They’ve already conquered Japan, and now they call it Area 11 – no, don’t you dare make any ‘storm Area 51’ jokes. The citizens of Japan lost their rights to self-govern, and are now called Elevens.

Little does the Empire know, however, that someone is about to start a rebellion in Area 11. Lelouch was going to stop at nothing to use the power of Geass to build a world around his ideals, and the Holy Empire of Britannia was not going to be able to stop him on his quest.

…Huh, kinda reminds me of Death Note.

Simon and Kamina lived in a village deep underground, hidden away from the world above. One day, though, Simon finds an ancient key that turns out to be the ignition for an artifact of war! The duo dubs it the Lagann, and with their own weapon, they fend off a surprise attack on their town with the help of a girl from the above, named Yoko Littner.

However, after the battle, Simon and Kamina set off to explore the surface for themselves with Yoko. Will they die? Will they find anything cool? Find out yourself!

Ten years after the outbreak of the Apocalypse Virus, Japan has fallen. Now, they’re under the rule of the GHQ, which is a force dedicated to restoring order for themselves. The Funeral Parlor is the only resistance group against the GHQ. The story follows a young high-schooler who is dragged into a war he doesn’t want to be in, and ends up unraveling secrets that no one could have ever expected to know.

So, I love the Ghost in the Shell series. I will not lie. I actually have the PlayStation 1 game! For now, I’ll be discussing the original movie – not Stand Alone Complex, the live-action, or anything of that sort.

In the distant future, Niihama City has become a metropolis of advanced tech. Now, people’s souls – or ghosts – can be placed into mechanical bodies, upgraded and made perfect. The leader of the Public Security Section 9, Major Motoko Kusanagi, is trying to tackle a mysterious hacker known as the Puppet Master, who strips the victim of all their memories.

Soon, though, she starts to question the meaning of her life, before realizing that the answer she’s looking for comes from none other than the Puppet Master himself.

A private organization named Mithril is striving to stop all terrorism around the world and bring peace to Earth. Their organization is powered by the Whispered, who are people that possess strange knowledge and the amazing ability to create powerful machinery.

Sousuke Sagara, a sergeant working for Mithril (despite only being 17), is assigned to protect the Whispered Kaname Chidori. He has to join her high school class and get as close to her as possible, but the only problem is that he has no idea how to live the life of an average high-schooler!

An extraterrestrial organism named “Savage” attacked mankind! The only weapon capable of stopping it was a weapon known as the Hundred. Hayato Kirasagi, a survivor of a Savage attack, had the highest capability level of Hundred, and is invited to master his skills at Little Garden. On the way there, he ends up attracting the attention of many female students.

In other words, this is both a harem and a mecha anime!

The Golden Race invited other races to join them in the stars, and three races joined their call. They were the Bronze, Silver and Heroic Tribes. But before the Golden Race left to travel to another universe, a fourth race answered their call. These were the human race, the Iron Tribe.

Humanity now faces extinction, though, and Princess Deianeria set out to search for a powerful being that may be able to save mankind.

Yeah, I’m ending this with a classic – this one actually came out in 1979! It’s the year 0079, in the Universal Century. Mankind has moved to space, living in clusters known as Sides. One of the sides, the Principality of Zeon, declares war on the Earth Federation, the government body that controls Earth. Using their powerful robots, Zeon quickly got the upper hand.

Now, the Earth Federation has developed their own suits, the Gundam!

I hope you all enjoyed this list! Have you seen any of the anime I mentioned? Don’t be afraid to let me know what you think in the comments down below. In the meantime, though, I’m Sara Ann, and I’ll see you in the next article!
