I’m looking for suggestions. I haven’t seen much classic anime so well-known and leader-known ones are all good.

    I haven’t ever heard of this, but this does sound especially interesting considering I’ve been gravitating towards mech stuff lately. Thanks for the recommendation!

      Eva wouldn’t exist without it. Anno ripped everything off from it and 70s super robo stuff. Also check out Nadia if you want a failed prequel to Eva.

      It’s cool for an 80s anime that still has the look and feel of the 70s stuff. Definitely watch the TV show if you have the time since (like @Cromalin@hexbear.net mentioned) A Contact tries to compress 30+ episodes into <90 minutes and struggles with it.

      Be Invoked is really great, though! If you ever wonder why the Evangelion movie has that weird mid-movie credits, it’s due to these two playing back to back with no break in their theatrical release.
