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

More hidden gems (once again, only ones that ranked below 2000 in 'Popularity' on MAL), though lesser ones than in part 1 in my view, but are still worth checking out. Will continue to fill the missing slots overtime.

Adaptations that share nothing with their source material but the title, some characters' names, and maybe even the premise, to the point you could change the title and no one would tell it's an adaptation. Remakes/reboots/sequels/localizations also included.

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.

This stack lists various anime with coastal, oceanic or maritime settings. They may be "ocean worlds" or just involve shoreside locations (e.g. a seaside town); however, they all share a setting characterised by proximity to a marine environment. Naturally, each series has varying levels of emphasis on these nautical elements.
