Not many to be fair. Gundam, Gurren Lagann and Neon Genesis Evangelion are the ones I can name off the top of my head. I think the last thing I watched resembling a mecha series was Suisei no Garugantia but I'm not sure if that really counts as one.

What would you recommend?

So you didn't like NGE? Now we really can't be friends, though I wouldn't group that in with the conventional mecha series. It's primarily psychological using mechs as means to tell the story. You'll have to be more specific with which Gundam it was, the franchise as a whole is great but there's a few bad apples in there. Gurren Lagann is a very good series, it's on the absurd side and is more like a parody of the mecha genre. But that's a quality mecha series as far as I'm concerned. Gargantia could be considered mecha, somewhat. There's mecha in it, but the series isn't exactly centralized around it.

Mecha died after the 90s for the most part. I'm sure you wouldn't be interested in what I'd recommend... Nobody is... Sad face.

I did watch NGE after watching Gurren Lagann. I considered Gurren Lagann to be pretty terrible, so I was a bit sour after it, and in hindsight I shouldn't have moved onto another mecha series after it. I'll need to revisit NGE and give it another chance.

As for Gundam, I cannot recall which part I watched. I had a look at the list of stuff related to it and there is so much I'm not sure where I was. I assume the original series is the best place to start with it?

I actually really liked Gargantia, even if it was only like thirteen episodes long. I have yet to watch the OVAs they released.
