That's quite a bit of stuff, thank you. Will definitely save all this. Despite not having seen much mecha, I'm definitely interested in seeing more so this is pretty nice info to have. Out of what I have seen, my favorite so far was probably Turn A Gundam. In fact that's probably in my top 10 overall anime.
No problem! I'd like to think giant robots are my forte, so I'm always happy to (over)share my experience with them.
Turn A is really a special anime and for a lot of people it's either a love or (unfortunately) hate kinda thing. I'm glad you like it, cuz it's one of my favorites too. Tomino's next closest work would probably be Overman King Gainer, in terms of tone.
Patlabor did catch my eye a while back because I just happened to see the opening on YouTube, was indeed really catchy. Probably be a good place to start. Also not necessarily all mecha but the 80s aesthetic in general is really appealing to me (kind of how Zeta and ZZ looked/felt).
80s was one of the best decades for robots, no doubt. Besides Patlabor, Layzner, Dunbine and Gorg, Metal Armor Dragonar is a really good pick for that aesthetic; post-ZZ, intended to be a starter for a new Gundam-like franchise but ended up only being a single series. The opening is really tight too
