You and MonkeyFist would get along marvelously. He did want to point out that Bokurano is not an Mecha anime, it's just got Mecha because no one was going to green-light a series about kids pit-fighting to the death.

I never could get into Iczer One. I haven't actually seen Pop Chaser, I'll have to check that out. I think MonkeyFist has a copy of that Creamy Lemon around here, somewhere.

I don't think you could have a single book that could cover enough ground to be A) useful or B) affordable. And if you're just looking to cover tropes . . . I hesitantly point you to tvtropes.org. I say "hesitantly" since I've lost many days of productivity to surfing that site.

I take nothing personally about your post. It's all good!

As my own P.S. I want to comment that in no way am I attempting to belittle David L. Pulver's GURPS Mecha or his contributions to Anime in Gaming. I have picked up books with the thought "Hey! David Pulver's name is on this book, I should look at it!" I hold him in the same regard that I hold Bill Stoddard. I may never use the book but I will buy it simply simply out of respect.
