are there any anime based on the terminator or at least like the terminator?
Idk how close you need it to be to Terminator, but I promise there are plenty of mecha anime that are very similar to terminator. I would suggest googling mecha anime and reading the descriptions until you find one that suits what you're looking for
Bubblecum Crisis might be to your liking.
