My fave mecha series would be Eva, Patlabor and Giant Robo (I know that's not strictly mecha but if Tetsujin 28 is considered mecha then so should Robo). The Big-O is also worth seeing but not as good as the above.

If you're trying to decide on a Gundam series to start with, go for Gundam Seed, then the sequal,Gundam Seed: Destiny. Even though it's a modern retelling of the original 1979 series, you don't have to have any former knowledge of Gundam to watch and enjoy it. If you're into the "Universal Century" saga, watch these in order: Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam: The 08th MS Team, Gundam 0080, Gundam 0083, Zeta Gundam, ZZ Gundam, and top it off with the movie "Char's Counterattack". Finally, for a little fun, try G Gundam, then finish with Gundam Wing, then Endless Waltz!!!
