Tetsujin 28-gou (2004)

Interested in the genre? Despite what people might say, mecha is a rich character focused genre with a variety of incredibly unique stories to tell. Here's a collection of shows with short, straight-to-the-point descriptions about each. Note that some of these were translated by fans, and aren't available officially/legally. A good amount of these are available on various streaming services, tho as for all well you might have to sail the high seas a bit. Disregard my personal scores, as its subjective at end of the day and you might like it. Also please don't dismiss some of these just because they're really old, they pretty much all hold up well even today. Check each out, and see what strikes your fancy. Any shows I personally haven't watch I got info on from fellow mecha friends of mine:

Mecha anime where the characters don't pilot the robots but fight alongside them or control them remotely. Ordered alphabetically by their English titles.

Anime that are heavily overlooked on MAL (at the time of writing, under 20k members). Most, if not all of them are also underrated. Will likely add stuff in the future as I watch them.

A protagonist duo that watches each others backs or one of the duo providing support to the more able partner.

Through teamwork they are able to overcome dangerous situations and overcome their opponents, though some duos may start off incompatible but develop throughout the series as they get to know each other better.

1 title per series

Anime that were dubbed in its entirety by Ocean Productions, a Canadian based dubbing group in Vancouver, Canada.

There are some rare cases like Megaman NT were dubbed but not fully and I decided to exclude those. Dragonball Z was also dubbed by Ocean Prod. at one point in time but they didn't dub episodes 68-122 (To stay ahead with Funimation's dub). Z Kai also has a full dub but that will never see the light of day so I won't include that on these lists either.

List of Anime with One Character as a Main

Previous : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/41124

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.

Note: The Big O Season 2 doesn't have its own entry on MAL, so it's being represented here by its first season, which doesn't meet the criteria, but I got no choice.

Reboots of Showa-era series.

Every animated iteration of (what is arguably) the very first super robot.

Yasuhiro Imagawa is a Japanese anime director and screenwriter. Much of his work evokes nostalgia for 1970s super robot mecha anime. He is best known for his involvement in anime such as Giant Robo (1992), Mobile Fighter G Gundam (1994), Berserk (1997), Tetsujin 28-go (2004) and Mazinger Edition Z: The Impact! (2009).

Anime with march/parade songs.
