I just didn't feel the genre was for me. Though I did have my exceptions--for example, I adored Gurren Lagann, and it's still one of my five favorite anime of all time.
But I knew that show was meant to be a celebration of the genre, and to a lesser extent masculinity itself.
Another exception that I think counts? Full Metal Panic. Loved the original, Fumoffu, and The Second Raid, even if Invisible Victory was kind of disappointing.
Already seen it for my own reasons--I was a huge fan of Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad as a kid.
And so was its English dub director, Clifford Chapin, to the point of bringing his old toys to stand on his desk while they recorded for it. In fact, I asked Greg Ayres (who is in the dub) about this personally at a con several years ago--he confirmed it's all true.
This is also why Alexis Kerib's voice was done as a Tim Curry impression. There's even a nice little Kilokahn reference added to the dialogue in the last episode--normally I hate dub changes, but this one, I'll allow it!
Oh, and yes, because of this anime, I watched the actual original Gridman show. Man, that show got weird--but now I have proof that Syber-Squad was pretty accurate to it!
Why did you get filtered by the giant robot? Also asides gundam, I think you should dai guard next.

Tessa Testarossa does not get enough love.
I want to recommend gridman/dynazenon then. Made by the same staff and is just as hopeful.
