A review has already been done for Rahxephon. Look here: http://www.christiananime.net/reviews.php?display=92 and which Gundam series or movie do U want an overview on? There's like 20 different ones out there.

Voices of a Distant Star is nice short mecha stand alone with no nudity or religious content. The violence is minimal with occasional blood spree when the giant enemies are killed. It is a half hour piece about a girl seperated from the boy she loves because she has been selected to fight in this war and is carried light years away. Their only means of communication is cell phone text messaging. The mecha are sweet and it's a nice drama as well. A bit of fresh air in the mecha genre.

You need to post that review in the review section, or submit it to one of the mods so they can post it on the official reviews page. ^_^

Welp, the only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Gundam.. these are always pretty good and I'd recommend 8th MS team in that series.... also Pilot Candidate (candidate for goddess) is pretty good too. Nothing too bad I can remember in either of these ^^

Actually, I can. In 8th MS Team, in the second episode, there's upper frontal nudity(detailed) that lasts for a few seconds.

Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny are good mecha animes, and Full Metal Panic! is a great mecha anime with tonnes of comedy rolled into it... i'm not sure if there are rviews i'll chech an d post overviews if there isn't, but i'd highly reccomend both of em

If you have cable or satellite dish then check out Gundam Seed on
Cartoon Network Friday nights at 1:00 a.m.

Dual!Parallel Trouble Adventure.
Really great combination of action,comedy and teen angst.It's the story of
two average Japanese teens,Kazuki Yotsga(sp?)and Mitsuki Sanada who find themselves caught up in a war between two factions over an alien artifact in a parallel universe.
Most of the action is comedic oriented and the only part that might make some people object are:1)Ms.Rah's Las Vegas style uniform(Mitsuki Rara
admittedly hates the whole idea of being Ms.Rah in the first place and has to go into a trance every time she has to give a trailer for an upcoming attack).
2)In the Epilog to the series Kazuki and Mitsuki Rara are shown nude in bed together but that is a result of Mitsuki's mother's scheming to control Kazuki's knowledge.
For anyone who loves the Tenchi series this is a must has Dual! was created
by Tenchi's creator and the same dynamic of a teen boy having girl problems exists.

I second what mitsuki said. Dual! is a good clean anime. The dub for it wasn't half bad either. Check that one out. Oh, yeah, D is a cool character by the way.
Our lives are but a vapor, let us not let waste our time and breath on vanities, but let us spend ourselves for the Kingdom, seeking a better resurrection.

Gasaraki is a series that's fairly good but not very well known. There's some violence, of course, but I don't remember, offhand, any nudity or extreme profanity. While I enjoyed the series myself, it's rather slow-paced, which some people tend to dislike.
Unfortunately, I don't think CAA has a review of it yet, and it's been too long since I've seen it for me to be able to inform you about the content with any certainty.

I second the Gasaraki vote. But then I just read that you've already seen it. So what mecha HAVE you seen? so we don't just throw everything at you :)
