Mecha/Adventure/Video-game inspired Titles

#
Mecha: (Story/Location) This is a genre of anime which features mechanical fighting machines. Often these take the form of giant robots but this isn't the only form mecha can take. There are tons of examples of mecha titles considering the popularity of the series.

Adventure: (Genre) Titles where the characters are involved in an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks.

Video-game inspired: (Type subgenre) The usual way for an anime to make it to the small screen is from a manga. Sometimes though the anime comes from a video game instead. Gungrave is a classic example: Take a video game from Sega about a undead who fights with musical instruments and create an Anime about love, friendship, betrayal, and a few demons. See also: "Dating Sim Spinoff".

BALDR FORCE EXE Resolution
Watch In a future networked world, the option of existing in the virtual network world rivals the real world (or wired reality). The hacker group known as SteppenWolf have decided on one final hack-attack before disbanding and have set their sights on attacking FLAK, the UN Cyber Security Bureau’s servers. And everything went very wrong. Their leader, Nonomura Yuuya was killed in the cyberworld, and while the remaining three hackers succeed in jacking-out, they returned only to be arrested by the army. One of the STEPPENWOLF team, Soma Toru finds himself forcibly recruited into FLAK as an anti-hacking 'diver'. While working for the ‘otherside’, Toru still harbors strong resentments at those who killed Yuuya. But the ongoing battle and competing agendas between FLAK, the VSS security enterprise and the FEI DAO terrorist group appear to be converging on a single point in cyberspace.

Kenran Butoh Sai: The Mars Daybreak
Rent

On a Mars covered in ice and oceans, people have learned to survive by building large floating city-ships in which they can live. And by using submarines to travel beneath the ice and harsh winds that rage overhead, humanity has been able to develop a global community. But during a distant galactic war, Earth looked to Mars as important water resource to support their war efforts. Now that the war is over, Earth still values the wealth of resources that Mars provides, and is reluctant to release their firm control over their smaller step-sister.

Xenosaga - The Animation
Watch A couple thousand years after humans left the Earth, technology advanced beyond our expectatio:, cyborgs that feel human emotions, wireless network everywhere in the universe, huge robots (gears), advanced weaponry, and warp gates. However, humans are also faced with a new enemy: Gnosis. The Gnosis are an alien life form. Little is known about them and their intentions, other than the fact that they are at war with the humans. The hardest part about fighting them is that most objects can't even touch them, so lazers, bullets, and bombs which pass right through them without doing any damage, are of little value. But more advanced weapons are being developed.
