So, i'm sure this gets asked a lot, but are there any anime(aside from Battletech: The Animated Series) where the mecha are closer in design and capabilities to Battletech/Mechwarrior mecha? As opposed to the Gundam/Eva style high mobility human proxies that we seem to see in every genre of mech anime.
I've looked a lot and can't seem to find anything really, although perhaps i'm just blind.

Try Dougram
If it gets asked a lot then why not check the archives?
Dougram and the supporting mechs in Xabungle.

thank you for actually answering, i'll give those two a look.
Battlemechs are very high mobility, it's just that a bunch of anti-weeb shitheads try to claim that they aren't because they have some bizarre investment in playing made up east vs west stereotypes against each other.

they have some mobility, and granted they can move pretty fast, but you aren't gonna see 'em flying at supersonic speeds and doing flips through the air etc. (not that there's anything wrong with that, I enjoy the super robot genre too)

That's because visually they look like fucking bricks.

MechWarrior is far more well known and popular than the rest of Battletech, and in MechWarrior the battlemechs are pretty slow. According to the lore in the books and boardgame they're much more agile, but those aren't as well-known as MechWarrior.

Granted they are much more agile in the lore, but still not to the level of super robots.

Most of them. The only good Battletech designs are the ones they lifted from weebshit.

I hate BT but I'll help out because I love Dougram. Try Neo Ranga. However, the mecha are not the focus.

It's funny, I actually read an old forum archive discussion where the general consensus was exactly that, that BT OC mecha were generally fugly. The entire thing was from before Dougram was completely subbed. Ah well.
It's a terrible shame. Everything I've seen and heard of BT's genesis has been to add ass-backwards lore and ungodly ugly panel lining to perfectly good designs. It makes me sad every time.
What would've been if Dougram were just localized properly in the US? One can only dream.

Try Heavy Object. The way that the mecha move and turn is very reminiscent of BT, as if everything is being played on a hex map.
Heat intakes, escape hatches/pilot ejections, & maintenance bays are used in some of the episodic plots. (to good effect)
Flight is very limited, only found in one of the mecha patterns, and even in that one it's much closer to BT jump-jets than actual flight.
It was a really fun series, I suggest it.

Some of the BT designs are quite good. The atlas is one of the better OC designs. Also the protomechs are nice.

Actually, a Wasp does a flip in the novel Black Dragon, but that was a one-off by a crazy mercenary pilot in a non-combat situation. Also obliterated some random shop at an ISF facility (movie studio) on Luthien in the process...
