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.

Agree with Eureka 7, it's a little on the slow side, but when it hits, it hits.

Extra agree with Gunbuster as well as its follow-up Diebuster. Both fantastic shows! Two of my favorites.

Also, the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack are also great if you stick with them. The original show is a little slow at the start, but gets better and better until the end! Zeta is fantastic throughout! CCA is weird and edgy, but cool.
