I normaly really like japanese stuff but with mechs i prefer western, they look at least like weapons and not like oversized action figures.
This is the cultural differences between the west and Japan. Japanese people really likes big robots but the west just doesn't buy that concept. Therefore early big robot anime didn't really made it into the western market. It's only when they started reducing their sizes (astroboy, I mean, is it even a robot?) that it started to get popular.
