I love all the different styles you captured here! Amazing variety! I didn't grow up with these which makes me sad so I only know Goku and Kenshiro (only getting into this genre now) but you drew them all so well!

Wow, there's such a vast range of characters here, style-wise, and I'm impressed you drew them all so well. All the expressions are amazing too, gives them each their own sense of individuality and personality. I'm not gonna glean off the others' answers, but I swear I should know all of them. XD Off the top of my head I recognize by name Amuro Ray (Gundam all the way, baby!), Goku, and Renton Thurston (he's the one true, classic pretty-boy in the lot, that style XD).

Believe it or not, I never saw all of Eureka Seven, but I'll always recognize the characters because I painted some fan cel commissions from it. All that time spent kinda embedded them in my brain. XD You did a great job on him though, capturing those boyish features; it's a cute angle as well. Aw, that's a shame people don't recognize Amuro. Thought Gundam was more popular than that. But then I'm a big mecha fan, so.
Ninja~
[Great Teacher] Onizuka
Hanamichi Sakuragi (Shoulda recognized the Slam Dunk style and jersey XD)
Amuro
Renton
Kenshirou (I think Fist of the North Star? Man, haven't seen that in years!)
Goku

Aw yeah~!
Thank you so much! This was a lotta fun, and made me realize I really need to go back and re-watch some old-school anime. Oh absolutely, big mecha fangirl right here, because I'm totally cool like that. XD I didn't get hooked into anime until I saw Gundam Wing, and I enjoy the heavy militaristic story-lines of most mech shows. I even loved Gasaraki, though everyone else said it was boring as heck.

I'd say you can pretty much pick-n-choose form these shows and find something you'd fall in love with. Some are more of an acquired taste but for the most part, they're still gold to anybody.
Woooooooooow! Garasaki looks so cool! It looks like a "Real-Robot" show and those samurai-style mechs are so menacingly awesome.
......
BUT I STILL HAVE SOoo MANY SHOWS TO WATCH.....!!!

That's how I'd describe a lot of the older, classic anime: an acquired taste. Even the shows I didn't love right off the bat would eventually grow on me, and I'd always at least have a fun time watching them. Unlike today, where most of the anime tend to have the same stories and trope-ridden characters. The last few I attempted to watch were largely forgettable, and honestly, I couldn't even make it past episode five. Man, I miss when anime was GOOD like these.
Visually, Gasaraki was beautiful and dark, and the story was intensely political/military. Which I guess is why a lot of people thought it boring, but I was usually intrigued by the heavy nature. The mecha, though, that was fascinating! It's been awhile since I've seen it, but if I recall, they were rather handed down through family lines the same way samurai armor was and there was an almost living mysticism about them.
I know that feeling! My queue keeps growing, but I've been lax in viewing.

The creators of modern anime have found their sweet spot that takes little effort and brings in loads of money. Few studios are trying to push the envelope anymore and that's why, for the most part, I can only ever recommend old anime to my friends who are interested. It really sucks, but when you dig deep into the mine, that's where you find the gold!
It's official. I'm gonna watch Garasaki tomorrow after class. I'm a nut for a well built military mech series. It was the politics and human struggles that got me sucked into the Gundam world so I can already tell I'm gonna love what Garasaki has to offer! The whole heritage aspect of the mechs sounds like a really neat concept as well. I'm ready to dive in!

You actually reminded me of what legendary Hayao Miyazaki said about the anime industry today, and how it's nothing but otaku making "new" titles without thinking for themselves or experiencing the world: article or here: Miyazaki vs Otaku . I think he's right. Studios make what they either grew up watching, or repeat what's popular. In the end, it's all the same "story formula".
Cool! I hope you enjoy Gasaraki.
