I and a few other users on another site (which shall remain nameless) have been working on a project to collect & catalogue every single mecha anime series/ova/movie ever made. Sounds like a daunting task, especially considering the sheer number of mecha anime that has never seen the light of day in the english language. We've got a nice sizeable collection going, (I collect legal DVDs, just for the record), but we're far from finished.
We also have onsite wiki pages and other material related to our mecha project on the site. I've just started working on a "knowledgebase" section of our wiki to inform people about lesser known franchises, and studios/artists who specialize in mecha. Our numbers, (those of us working on this project), have been dwindling a little bit, though I'm hopeful some of my colleagues will return at some point. So I'm looking for a few more people to help with this project.
I've looked at mecha anime lists on this site and others like it, and I'm surprised that our project list is considerably larger than some I've seen, (including the list on this site.) I suppose, it's understandable as I already mention the fact that a large portion of mecha anime doesn't exist in the english language.
Nonetheless, knowledge is power, and it's good to share the information we've gathered in hopes that all this material one day becomes available in our native tongue. After all, SDF Macross finally got an un-roboteched english release 20+ years after it first aired in Japan.
So if you're interested in helping, feel free to PM me.
I'd also be happy to share our mecha list to help flesh out the information on this site.
