Unfortunately mecha series are the domain of teenagers in Japan, so most of the shows are basically walking cliches that don't explore anything that might actually be interesting about a futuristic war fought with giant robots. They're just vehicles for teenage boys to watch other teenage boys do more outlandish things than they will ever do.
I'd recommend Gunbuster, though. It was the guy who directed Eva's first series, and has many of the elements that would become Evangelion, along with a heavy dose of Ender's Game. It's full of cheesy anime cliches, but rises above them for the most part.
