I love when mecha are more of a plot device for drama, romance, or even just used as symbolism. the combat is pretty cool when it doesn't happen every episode, ya know? I'd love to find more of these so here's some examples that I have seen
>eureka seven
>evangelion
>flcl
> darling in the franxx
and some close but not quite there ones. not to say these are bad, just not what I'm looking for
>gurren lagann
>suisue no gargatia
thanks in advance!!
