I'm on the next level of hipster. I only liked Full Metal Panic Fumoffu.

EDIT: Linebarrels of Iron does have pretty good mech design tho

Full Metal Panic is very fun, though I only read the first manga and played Super Robot Wars V. Sigma was kinda meh unfortunately, alongside the artstyle downgrade. Horrible politics though, unless you interpret it as an over the top parody of the Zeitgeist of the early 2000s.

I wanted to like this so much because when I first saw scenes of it (or maybe it was the trailer), I got the impression that it was about disturbing monstrous creatures attacking earth (similar to NGE) but.....that didn't turn out to be the case.

Linebarrels of iron

If I recall correctly, despite me not liking mecha anime, I think I decided to give this one a shot because a blurb about it sounded hilarious; I think it positioned the main character as this arrogant kid who ticked off not only his enemies but his allies as well, as in basically no one liked him and he caused most of the problems in the series because he was so full of himself. Sadly it did not turn out the way it sounded like it would turn out.
