G Gundam. I don't remember shit about it besides it being some kind of glorified tournament arc, the Japanese protagonists cockpit being wild looking to me, and one of the episodes with the American Gundam having some women sing "America the beautiful" while the u.s pilot was getting his ass beat I think.

Chibodee was having clown-induced PTSD flashbacks, actually. The original Japanese voiceover has a pretty normal song, the English one just wild with the replacement song.

For a father's day anime recommendation (the ending card has a dedication to fathers and children everywhere lol), I'd add the director of G Gundam (Yasuhiro Imagawa)'s pet OVA project - Giant Robo: the Day the Earth Stood still. It's equally wild - it's a manga adaptation that smashes in a bunch of characters from unrelated Mitsuteru Yokoyama manga plus it has the awesome "mech starts crying" thing that also happens in G Gundam.
