Hi, I am looking for mecha anime to watch. But not just normal mecha anime. I would like a modern artwork mecha anime. Here are some examples of modern mecha anime I watched:

Full Metal Panic (all seasons)
Code Geass (all seasons)
Eureka Seven (all seasons)
Toppa Tengen Gurren Lagann
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse
Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Aquarion (all seasons)

So basically, I just want a good looking anime. Old drawings really put me off for some reason. I tried watching the old gundam series and Evangelion but I couldn't finish the first episode correctly..

If you can help me with some suggestions, thanks!

How about these? :
Dragonaut
Guikty Crown
Akito the Exiled

Off the top of my head, I could think of Basquash, which had pretty awesome animation, just that it's mecha + basketball.

Samurai 7 : Adaptation of the classic movie with a mecha twist.

Ghost in the Shell (all seasons) : definition of good looking! Check the 2nd movie, GITS: Innocence out, the animation is incredibly detailed, a work of pure art.

Macross Frontier: The latest installment in this popular franchise, worth checking out, at least the soundtrack is worth it.

Ummm if the art in Evangelion seems dated to you then I'm a little bit stunned by your idea of dated but...

There is a remake of the Evangelion series called Evangelion 2.0 that has new animation and is supposed to be pretty good, though I haven't actually seen it myelf.

Maybe Macross Frontier or Rinne no Lagrange?

Krytonis · 2012-10-17, 00:34

Lovely suggestions! I have Macross Frontier and Basquash in my watching list now.

I forgot to mention, I already watched Rinne no Lagrange, Akito the Exiled, Guilty Crown

Kirayuki · 2012-10-17, 21:18

Try Break Blade or Star Driver.

Wadjet · 2012-10-17, 22:20

I second Star Driver.

Also check out Zegapain, really liked the story in this one. Not really hard core Mecha and more serious than other mecha anime but people dealing with a dystopia

Zoids & Zoids Fuzors

Flame-X · 2012-10-18, 00:53

Gundam Unicorn
Fafner (including OVA + movie)
Gundam AGE (just watch the first 1st gen)

dmaxzero · 2012-10-18, 09:50

Gundam Unicorn is the real deal... go watch that.

Lost Cause · 2012-10-22, 13:22

Gundam SEED is also worth the watch too, SEED Destiny the sequel is decent but not everybodies cup of tea.

SeijiSensei · 2012-10-23, 08:14

How about Rahxephon?
