I’ve seen Gurren Lagann (10/10), Code Geass (8/10), and pretty much all of Neon Genesis Evangelion + movies and rebuilds.

Are there any other really good super robot anime?

I watched Darling in the FranXX and had a good time til about episode 18 or so when it jumped the shark.

At one point I tried and dropped Eureka 7, just seemed really childish? Might need a revisit, but the MCs being so young was strange to me.

What other mecha shows are worth the watch? I haven’t ever seen a Gundam show, but did watch Zoids as a kid, hah.

Gundam has a ton of flavours of Mecha anime depending on what you're looking for, but my recommendation is ALWAYS 08th MS Team. It follows a single unit in a war and that focus on not being about giga-protagonists feels SO refreshing. You're just watching a unit of grunts struggle to survive. Cogs in a machine so vast, that they can't be heroes, just survivors. It also has some SUPER cool fight moments.

One of the Gundam movies was like that. Can't remember the title, but it followed an unlikeable kid who befriended a terrorist cause he thought he was cool. Got both good and bad reviews cause well, yeah
