Post-Evangelion anime boom seasonal anime that manages to maintain the high quality of the fewer, higher-quality shows before this anime boom.

Anime featuring mainly traditionally animated, hand drawn robots made between the year 2000 and 2009. As CGI started being used in anime in this period, some mecha series started shifting towards CGI robots, I think this list would be really helpful.

Mecha shows that have a bad reputation but are actually a lot better than one would be led to believe.
