Modern/Action Comedy/Mecha Titles

#
Modern: (Setting) These are titles which have a modern feel to them; the story takes place in the present day (of the creation of this anime), give or take a few years.

Action Comedy: (Genre) Much like "Action" (lots of shooting, explosions, and the like) except it has "Comedy" thrown in as well.

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.

Rent The police are powerless against "Demon Seed", a criminal gang which employs hi-tech armored battle suits. What's more, the collateral damage that results from the futile attempts to stop the bandits has made the police increasingly unpopular. Chief Hattori of the "Counter Demon Seed Special Agent Headquarters" comes up with a bizarre solution: hold special "Hero Auditions" in hope of finding someone who is both capable of stopping Demon Seed and popular enough that the public will forgive whatever damage occurs in the process! The adorably cute and incredibly strong Maron Namikaze seems to be just the girl Hattori has been looking for. "A super idol who can sing, dance, and fight crime will soon be born!"

Twelve-year-old Nandaba Naota's older brother has departed for America to play baseball, leaving the confused Naota alone with his brother's 17-year-old girlfriend, Samejima Mamimi. It doesn't help that she flirts with him constantly, or that his brother has sent him a rather disturbing letter from America. When the tomboyish Haruhara Haruko enters the scene, running down Naota with her motorscooter before smashing him over the head with her guitar, things will never be the same again.

Getter Robo
Dinosaurs never became extinct! They still exist in a highly advanced subterranean empire, and Emperor Gore is about to dispatch his highly sophisticated "Mechasauruses" to exterminate the human race and regain control of the Earth's surface. The only technology that could possibly stop them is Professor Saotome's research into "Getter Rays", and his construction of transforming robots which employ them. After the robot which he had hoped to use for space exploration is smashed by the invaders, killing his son, all seems lost--until his younger son reveals the existence of another Getter Robo, this one heavily armed. But with the original crewmen dead, who will fly it?
