It wasn't the best anime ever, but I really enjoyed it. I am looking for another series to get into (preferrably, something that ends). Something easy, fun, accessible and doesn't take itself too seriously (that's what I liked about E7). It also had a unique art direction for a mech anime. Anybody got any suggestions? I already watched FMA (my favourite), Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Samurai X, One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach.

I am sorry, I know the OT is full of anime-request threads so I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

You are a perfect candidate for Gurren Lagann

Yeah, it wasn't really my cup of tea - although it matches the description in my OP perfectly. :lol I guess it was a bit extreme in that regard.

I want that to hurry out and come out in a format where I can watch it without violating that whole "respect for intellectual property" thing.

Well, thats all the good animes I know of. Maybe you should go watch some anime movies? They have endings at least

Gurren-Lagann is just what you are asking for if you want Mecha.

Gurren-Lagann is a "more serious yet shallowed down in terms of madness" version of FLCL.

I'm fairly useless for this one because I like stuff that is darker and takes itself seriously.

It's more a somewhat more serious series, but don't let that stop you from checking it out.

Hrm. Tried RaXephon? I found it largely derivative, but some people really dig it.

If you watch Big O, do not watch the made-for-America series 2. Season 1 has my seal of approval, though.

Whaaaat? Season 2 was great, especially the final episodes, but also "Day of the Advent".

The OP's basically asking for Gurren Lagann. Watch it, thank us later. (The second third of the show is pretty much Eureka Seven all over again).

On a related note, seeing you also liked FMA; Gurren-Lagann would be ideal.

Superficial derivations at best.

Edit: If you're still on the fence about Gurren-Lagann and don't care about spoilers, watch this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mxRxpnHqfCE

Gurren Lagann as already mentioned pretty much fits your request.

You might also like The Mars Daybreak which is from the studio as E7 and shares lots of the same people who worked on it.

It's basically a completely down to earth, light hearted and fun mecha adventure anime about underwater Sea Pirates on Mars, nothing more than that.

I also recommend Overman King Gainer It also shares a lot of the people who worked on E7, including the character designer, and is a very fun mecha show with a unique style.
