Gunbuster. I just get giddy about a universe where mankind goes from first developing FTL technology to committing genocide by detonating a black hole bomb with an event horizon 20,000 light years in diameter all within the span of about 50 years. I don't know of any other universe that has that ridiculous level of tech escalation.

I prefer Anno's work when he isn't having an emotional breakdown.

Are there any feasible situations where a giant humanoid robot would make sense to use?
