The series in question has just started coming out on DVD, and that's Aura Battler Dunbine.  It's from 1982, so don't expect the same expensive look as more recent anime.  You may also be put off by some of the 'punnish' names, such as Shott Weapon.  Names aside, it's not a comedy series, and gets fairly dark towards the end.  Basically a fantasy land that's a parallel dimension to Earth, the residents of Byston Well have giant insect-like battlesuits powered by human auras (but only very powerful ones).  It contains a mixture of high tech and low tech...such as the clydesdale-unicorns drawing giant carts with the giant robots weapons, for example.  Story-wise, Escaflowne has a lot in common, with princes on the run, and that sort of thing.Another series, with giant centaur and knight robots in a fantasy world was Panzer World Galient.  There you had ancient robot technology being dug up and used by the medieval level societies, and then marching whole armies of the things against each other.  Great stuff.  Also from the early 80s.</blockquote>
