The most realistic depiction of mecha in modern day society that mixes the mundane and humorous with cool tech. Also my favorite of any anime.
MOBILE POLICE PATLABOR

Like Patlabor, it explores a realistic setting for mecha, but focuses more on the military application than humor of everyday life.

Superior in every way to DBZ if you stop at Season 2. Inferior in every way if you don't.

The best English dub ever. Most hilarious show written; I watched this in China and its boring as hell in its original form.

A trancendent expression of the most complex Freudian ideas, disguised at as one of the worst anime's ever created.
