im not sure why i guess the idea of giant robots beating the piss out ot each other just fascinates me...since i first saw gunadam wing like the gods know how many years ago i was hooked. . . but im not totally shutting out other anime i have also been a fan of like DBZ outlaw star, samurai X, ruroni kenshin...gundam was just always my favorite and if ya can mention some others id be more than happy to check them out
