[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 3420342, member: 149"] Iczer One and Blue Gender are the only things I can think of that really come close to what you are looking for. Iczer One unfortunately is also sadled with a truely horrible dub and I don't think the DVD includes a subtitle option. Still it was really cool for it's time and the first real horror anime I'd seen. Blue Gender is probably a better bet, though it's closer to Aliens than Alien. Bubblegum Crisis 2040 (the remake series, not the original 80's/90's ova series) has some horror elements as nano-tech run amok is a strong theme. But it's an "all Girl Series". There's some elements of horror to [url=http://www.amazon.com/Tekkaman-Blade-Collection-1/dp/B000IMVE3W/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-7188716-7574422?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1174946708&sr=1-1]Tekkaman Blade[/url], but it's more powered armor than mecha. It's also somewhat similar to Blue Gender in that it's about resistance to "aliens" over running the earth. Part of the problem is that Mech shows are all about "invincible" technology, which doesn't tend to work well with the sense of vulnerability that's necessary to make horror work. [/QUOTE]
