true, but the main characters are! Especially the girls! Eureka X3 (and Ryoko from Zegapain too X3)

Add this to the list: I loathe androids above all. If I built a robot, it sure as hell wouldn't look like a chick, or any human. It would be a hulking armored engine of destruction, bipedal with the basic humanoid shape (legs, arms, head) but without the useless stuff (like a face). Screw personality, slave the thing to me and give it just enough AI so if I point and say "Kill", everything in that general direction dies.

Sure it wouldn't be pretty, but when the crap hits the fan, I'd rather have a beast of a machine covered with guns on my side then some half-naked robot chick.

Ironically enough I'm a pretty general/picky cartoon watcher as well, I watch both American and Japanese. Thought there is now particular formula that works for me. I've been surprised by a few different times. I will tell you this I hate when they take good animes with plenty of potential and then do the whole cliche organization turning against them thing, I'm looking at you Hellsing among others. I have a few other pet peeves to.

Though what is the background from?

Heroic Age, destruction at a larger scale than I have yet to see...wait, can the Nodoss even be considered mechas?

I wasn't actually talking about a mech, more along the lines of something roughly seven feet tall that could be attached to squads to provide fire support.

However, it sounds interesting. Elaborate.

Edit: There was one piece of anime-styled art I remember seeing on a forum somewhere, but I forget where or what it was from. It wasat night on a skyscraper in a huge city. Two characters were shown, one was a woman in body armor, with only her face exposed, though she was wearing something on her head licke a comm system or headband. The other was a fully-armored figure in similar armor, except it was wearing a helmet that vaguely looked like the Tau Commander's from DOW, appeared to be a male and was roughly 150% her size.

Also, that guy had a gun that looked like it was modeled off of a sniper rifle, but had a belt-feed with bullets that looked like tank shells. And I love overkill.

Well literally speaking it'd be "Sumomo mo Momo mo," which is basically "Plums too, Peaches too"...Pretty odd, really!

PREACH IT, BROTHA!

I so utterly despise the female robot paradigm. Maybe it was a cute idea once, but it has been utterly beat to death.

See, now, if I ever built a killbot, it may have a face, but it definitely wouldn't have legs. I remember, on Battlebots, someone built this amazing mechanical spider - it moved quickly and beautifully. And it got creamed by a set of wheels with a tacked-on hammer. No matter how good you manage to make a machine with legs - I'm pretty sure you'd be able to make one with tracks or wheels that is faster, more maneuverable, and more stable.

I think it's just a pun off of the female protagonist's name (Momoko, or Momo for short)...

Well http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7627 has a sort description of what it is like, but to get a better understanding of it I would suggest watching the first and 2nd episodes either from Youtube or Animesuki.

Basically what I meant by destruction at a larger scale was the destruction of several planet sized ships by one single entity, and that was just in the first 2 episodes that I watched. Obviously there's going to be some drama, but I don't think it is going to be as boring as Gundam is.

Gundam is not boring! >=( (unless you're refering to GSD, G-Savior or GGundam.... in such case I'll let it slide...)

about Heroic Age.... Xebec is the studio behind it, Hisashi Hirai's boring character designs, angela opening, "Gold Race"..... smells a lot like Soukyuu no Fafner! (which was awesome

)
maybe it's a not-too-connected sequel (same/alternate universe)?

Yeah the character designs aren't that interesting except for Belcross and even then it looks very similar to EVA-01, the opening song is "meh" in my book, I never watched Fafner so I wouldn't know if there's any comparison. Rarely do I watch an anime with mechas because they usually don't grab my attention, but since Heroic Age had some big explosions, and the Golden Tribe woo'd me, and the Nodoss (IMO) in no way can be considered mechas, so I liked it.
