Bubuki Buranki

Stuff that is either obscure/unpopular, janky, wildly inconsistent or noticeably cheap (pick any combination), but somehow makes things work and be good anyway (typically against the odds). Characterized by having a MAL average under 7.

A collection of fantasy or otherwise speculative fiction works including fanciful worldbuilding, without the utilization of the "Game mechanics verse" trope or the "Person from our world is reincarnated here" setup. (I would have said "no Isekai" but I'm open to stranger Isekai like Escaflowne being on the list). Earthlike worlds (including purported futures/histories) are allowed if they have something fanciful and distinctive. Only one entry per series/franchise.

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.

Original sci-fi anime, one entry per series/franchise.
