For those of a more historical bent, Tetsujin-28 is mandatory watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2zYuQqzEJQ You'll probably know it better as Gigantor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNEKhxvEvlc Not all of it, of course, but just an episode or two to get the flavor of what giant robots were like at the very beginning. If folks are interested, I can do an effort post about the series and it's influence down the line, not just in mecha anime, but also in series like Akira.

Definitely relevant to this conversation is Space Runaway Ideon, which is loving brutal in its depiction of the deaths of innocent bystanders as a result of the conflicts that the space ships and one gigantic robot bring upon everything around them. It'd interesting to posit a world where Ideon was the huge success, rather than Gundam, and therefore shows like Evangelion were the norm, rather than the exception...
