The most prominent "dark" super robot show aside from Evangelion (that is also good) is arguably Getter Robo Armageddon. While it still has plenty of triumphant, hotblooded, over-the-top moments, it's incredibly bleak throughout and several important characters are defined as much or more by bitter vengeance as they are machismo and resilience. It's a rare example of a super robot anime where
the protagonists have already failed to save the world and are simply fighting to prevent the total extinction of humanity post-apocalypse
There are several more obscure examples from 1980s anime like Blue Comet SPT Layzner that I'm not really qualified to discuss because I haven't seen enough.

Why do some Studios love moeifying character designs? Was it really necessary, sheesh.😒

Just curious, why do you dislike Jitsu wa so much?
Not like the manga isn't already kinda like that. They just didn't get the designs.

It's even better when it is warm, splattered with butter and served with some chili.. yum yum

....I don't think I can break Cornbread.

Those faces are kind of terrifying.
My family has eaten cornbread with chili since I was born. It's a thing.
It started off well but ultimately ends up collapsing on its own weight thanks to too many (flanderised) characters, an MC completely void of character, and the really obnoxious humour becoming far too grating the longer it went on. The "time travel" arc was the final nail in the coffin honestly.

As much as I want to go "Yo what", you gave me confidence in breaking Cornbread again.

Well, like I said before. I'm just more used to it being one or the other when it comes to these kind of mecha shows. I've yet to see Eva really do anything super robot as of yet, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

The first one was, but both of those images aren't safe for our cornbread chili virgin eyes.
......Actually wait nevermind. I actually had this before.
Paizuri is all alone on this one now.

That reminds me, I remember watching that a long time ago and not really enjoying it until the Stoner Sunshine and the final battle. I went into it without any knowledge of previous Getter stuff and I found that did more harm than good with regards to how much I understood what was going on or who the characters were.
I've been thinking of giving it a rewatch once I've finished reading the manga so I can go into it with the proper background.

I have no idea what is going on in this thread anymore.
It did get very entertaining when Chihaya finally lost her marbles in the last few episodes but it took way too long. Also for the mecha there were hardly any robo battles. I could count the number of fights that took place on two hands. It's bad fan fiction made into a 26 episode long anime with way too many plot holes.

As a Nebraskan, I know that a cinnamon roll is the perfect pair to chili.
Now that I've never heard of.

Mitsudomoe is a really funny show with crude humor. It's on Crunchyroll.
I'd recommend Minami-ke, but I don't think it's on any of these streaming services.

Few have, but it makes perfect sense.
I also eat spaghetti w/ red meat sauce with orange juice at the drink. But that's just because my family is weird.
What? Nooo *shivers*

I should compile a list from all these recs today and help update Jex's mega post in the OP
90's anime, where art thou? Why hasn't there been a resurgence of strictly drawing good quality anime? Does no one have any passion for the art of it?!
Its already fucked up. First this, watch, Prison School is not gonna get what it deserves.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It's missing the key design.

So this is what Anno worked on before Evangelion. Fairly typical super robo (am I using this definition right?) fare with triangle punches and lightning kicks. It amuses me that they do push ups and laps around the field in their robots as their training regiment.
Amano chosen as one of the pilots in the space campaign when she can barely stand in her mech was a bit surprising. The shoujo bullying really escalated after that announcement. Verbal abuse, mecha vandalism and (gasp) even tacks on her seat! This was resolved rather quickly with the school yard mecha fight but it's not that surprising given this series is only 6 episodes long.
E: oh, another thing to note. Apparently this is supposed to take place in 2015. Where are my school yard mechas Japan?!?

I've never heard of someone not being aware that chili and cornbread are typically paired together, much less thinking that it sounds gross. This is the most offensive opinion in this thread since the last person who admitted to liking Eureka Seven AO.
Cinnamon (and chocolate and peanut butter) in chili are common additives here in Cincinnati but I've never heard of substituting an actual cinnamon bun in place of regular bread.
