If anyone doesn't mind watching 1980s anime, Fang of the Sun Dougram is good. Probably has one of the stupidest deaths of a character I have ever seen though.

Besides the mechs it also features a lot of conventional military vehicles and tanks with legs for some reason.

With a perfect OST, and made by the same people who helped animate a few Batman: TAS episodes back during its first seasons.

King of Braves Gaogaigar is the GOAT and ill fight anyone in the street if they disagree. Another good recommendation is G Gundam. The only gundam serie i can sit through the english dub.

Noir mecha does seem like a peanut butter and chocolate kind of combination to me. I wouldn't think it works but it does. Also, French is a dead language in Paradigm City.

Macross is a real hit or miss kind of franchise. The first series and its movie is a must watch as a romance series,* Plus is also superb with even better music, but then there's II and 7 and those shows are just terrible. Zero is okay and might as well be an elseworld story despite being a prequel.

*So you can probably talk a girl into watching it just like with James Cameron's Titanic.
 
There's so much about Aldnoah.Zero that I can complain about, especially concerning the latter season, though I've probably forgotten much of it at this point. I really like OP2, though.

That’s a bit of a loaded question. Sure, it’s easy to just call it an Evangelion rip-off, but I think the answer is more complicated.

To put it mildly, the show pretty much collapses post episode 15. Whether it was because of a rushed production or lack of more episodes isn’t clear, but you can really tell something went wrong. While the first 15 episodes are extremely tightly written, after that, things just start happening, and potential plot points are flown through without being given enough focus. All culminating in a rather anti-climatic ending.

With that said though, I can’t say that I regret watching it, or that I hate the series. Heck, I honestly hope that it gets some sort of continuation. And that’s because I found myself highly invested in the relationship between Hiro and Zero Two. Those two pretty much carry the whole thing on their backs, and it was a delight to see both grow and change as characters thanks to their connections. Episodes 13 and 15 especially are some of the best I’ve seen in any anime.

Even during the sloppy second half, whenever it cut back to them, it was still at the very least watchable.

So yeah, I’d say that it does have good things in it, mainly thanks to the main relationship, but at the same time, I understand where the criticism is coming from.

Wow, really? I found the two main characters to be an unbearable drag in the second half of the show, so much so that I'm more inclined to call them non-characters. Fortunately the rest of the cast are able to pick up the slack (I especially like the drama of Mitsuru and Kokoro), but story of the second half overall goes in a bad direction that doesn't live up to the intriguing mystery of the post-apocalyptic dystopian society initially presented.
... it was a huge mistake to have the main villains be aliens and go to space to fight them like it's Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill all over again.
This frustration and disappointment leads me to conclude that Darling in the Franxx is not worthwhile, one being better off watching some other mecha show instead.
