MODERATORS
The first season of Aldnoah.Zero plotted by Gen Urobochi is a fucking brilliant concept: Think Patlabors piloted by a genius vs high end Gundam fantasy mecha. The second season was meh though.
Speaking of Patlabors, the Patlabor Movie 1 and Patlabor Movie 2 both directed by the great Mamoru Oshii are really great.
It's more like sentai tokusatsu robots (think the Mega Zords from Power Rangers) but SSSS.Gridman is a cool reboot of a vintage Tsuburaya (Ultraman) Productions live action show.
Along similar lines, Samurai Flamenco is another fun take on tokusatsu heroes, complete with a combining sentai robot, which admittedly only shows up towards the end of the only season.
Have to second Samurai Flamenco. It's not technically a mech anime, but if Gurren Lagann was 10/10 for OP, there's a good chance they'll really enjoy it!
