OTHER MECHA SERIES

I've decided to list a little information about some
of my favorite mecha and mecha-related games, TV shows,
books and animes. I highly recommend them!
 

MEGAMAN/MEGAMANX

If this isn't mecha, I don't know what is. An excellent
series of video games to play, very well known. Known as
Rockman in Japan. I personally, however, wouldn't recommend
the cartoon that aired on Fox... it was kind of corny.
 

BEAST WARS/BEAST MACHINES

Transformers fans rejoice. It just doesn't get any better
than this. Outstanding computer graphics and fantastic
writing make these my 'Must Watch!' TV shows.
 

ROBOT CARNIVAL

I have never in my life seen an animated film to match this
one. A collection of several animated short stories,
each with a robotic theme. The one titled 'Presence' will
move you to tears, no matter HOW hardened you are.
 

CASSHAN: ROBOT HUNTER

Makes me wonder if Capcom didn't copy this to make
MegaManX. An EXCELLENT robot-based anime that shows every
so often on the Sci Fi Channel
 

ARMITAGE III

A true mecha Anime. A robot trying to keep anyone from
knowing she is a robot. Excellent animation, and a
really moving story.
 

GHOST IN THE SHELL

You've probably seen this for rent in the local video
store. If you haven't already -- rent it. Despite what
some naysayers claim, it DOES meet up with the hype.
 

ROBOTREK

A fun RPG from Enix. You play a robot inventor who builds
and improves several robots as he goes on a quest. I'd
recommend trying to find the ROM -- the cartridges are
pretty rare. For SNES systems.
 

I, ROBOT

The now famous book of robots and men written by Isaac
Asimov. If you haven't read it, do it. After all, current
robotics development agencies are using his Three Laws of
Robotics.
