This current season of anime has been awesome for mecha fans. There's 3 mecha shows I'm following and they are all pretty good. (And just to add to the mecha mood I'm also currently watching Gundam Seed).
Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince
The worst team in a pilot training facility "Team Rabbits" manages to get a mission and succeed in their first real battle but the team faces public ridicule when they can't maintain their winning streak. This is probably the most light hearted of the three shows. The character designs may look familiar if you are a Gundam fan, as they were done as the same guy that did Gundam Seed.
Kakumeiki Valvrave
A highschool facility in space is attacked by terrorists until a lone student fends them off in an experimental mecha that costs the pilot their humanity. Got quite deliciously violent in just the first episode! Made by Sunrise studios of Gundam, Code Geass and Escaflowne mecha fame and has the Code Geass writer on board. 4chan are heavily comparing this to Code Geass but I think it has enough difference to set it aside from that. Gorgeous character designs, especially the eyes!
Suisei no Gargantia
This anime is also beautiful to look at with a great cast of characters! Ledo, a pilot in the war against the Hideauze is thrown off course and finds himself on a strange but habitable and water covered planet. His mecha, Chamber has an awesome AI system! Made by Production IG of Ghost in the Shell fame with the writer of Madoka Magica on board!
