Not sure what's the average density of mecha fans on the forum, so I'd figure I'd ask. To be as all encompassing as possible, feel free to comment with an kind of media (hence why it is in general discussion, rather than general gaming discussion).

The classifications proposed are very loose and only really serve to create a general outlook, as many mecha series dip their toes on all sides - it's all very interpretational.

Myself, I prefer the gritty, more grounded variety, which would be immediately boring for people peferring the other extreme, I suppose.

Examples:

Front Mission, Patlabor.

Any kind, really... From Robotech/Macross to Evangelion, Eureka Seven, Transformers (if you wanna consider them "mecha")...
 
I'm not at all versed in mecha... design? Styles? Whichever. So I don't know what category this would generally be, but I've always loved Yoji Shinkawa's mecha/walker illustrations and designs for Zone of the Enders and Metal Gear.

In general though I think I prefer the less directly humanoid designs.

MG Rex and Orbital Frames in general are amazing. My favorite OF is probably Neith
