Oh my god. Dai-Guard.
A parody of Evangelion & co which explores all the ways that entrusting a fight against alien invaders to a giant robot is, in actuality, a horrible idea. (It's more than just a parody of Eva-type shows but that's really the strongest thing that's been showing through so far. The enemy designs and "actual" premise scream Evangelion.) The mech in question is a financial and legal nightmare for the defense corporation that owns it (what with collateral damage and all) and is, in general, the most inefficient weapon they could have possibly spent money on. I would almost compare the show's sense of humor to Gurren Lagann's (which it pre-dates by 7 years), but where GL breaks the laws of physics for jokes Dai Guard strictly obeys them.
Observe Figure A: Why giant drills are not good. (tl; dw go to 3:00)
I'm really enjoying this so far.
