Jinki:Extend

Anime set in South America locations.

Of all the places, they had to mention this country in particular.
De todos los lugares, tenían que mencionar a este país en particular.

These openings are the most unusual openings among all openings. They might either tell you nothing about what the anime is about or tell you in the most criptic way possible. They might use unusual music or animation.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is widely considered one of the most influential anime ever made, and a multitude of series were created to follow the leader, copying from its premise, characters, aesthetics, themes, and any combination of the previous. Here's some anime that can be considered to be EVA clones. Note: Some series that, in contrast, inspired EVA are included at the end.

Anime that suffer from a considerable drop in animation quality in at least one episode. This can vary from weird looking faces to changing animation technique, using cutouts to make up or making an episode with basically no animation.

I looked in TVtropes, CBR and AniDB for some of these.

If you know of another case, feel free to tell me!

Note
It must NOT be done on purpose, like FLCL, (most of) Shaft's anime or Masaaki Yuasa/Studio SARU anime
It will count here even if the errors were fixed in physical releases.

To qualify for this stack, the following must be true

1) The show includes some form of mecha, interpreted loosely.
2) The show must include one or more important female characters
3) At least one of the female characters, other than a villain, must interact directly with the mecha in an important role (typically pilot, but other roles can be sufficient)

This does not require that only females pilot or even that the main character/pilot must be female, only that we get a good active role from a female character, not just a damsel or sideline role.

List of mecha anime with female main characters, from oldest to newest. I have excluded sequels for most of these to prevent me from having to make 5 different stacks.

If there's a mecha anime with a female MC I've forgotten to list (or an anime that is on this stack but shouldn't be) then message me or comment on my profile and I'll add/remove it.
