Type: TV SeriesGenre: Police Story
Due to global warming, the Babylon Project is initiated to seal off Tokyo Bay, and create more real estate. New industrial machines called 'labors' were developed for the Project. Labors vary, but most fit the "giant robot" mold. Being so versatile, labors were also used for crime, so the Patrol Labor (PatLabor) was developed. This is the story of a police unit which uses the patlabor model 'Ingram' -- SVD Section 2.

Schoolgirls become Knights of Cephiro in Rayearth.
Robotech
Type: TV SeriesGenre: War story
Not exactly anime, but this seems to be most people's intro to anime. A combination of 3 anime series ("Macross", "Southern Cross", "Genesis Climber Mospeada") with a linking concept ("Protoculture"), this is a story about 3 wars between humanity and 3 different alien races over possession of Protoculture. For the most part, general plots were retained, though details were changed. As an introduction to anime, this series was fairly well done and self-consistent. Now available on video.
NOTE: "Robotech" changed the original anime series and most fans seem to agree that the originals were better...except for "Southern Cross".
