So I'm not sure if you've checked it out by now, but based on your taste, I'd say you probably would enjoy Escaflowne. It's really good at blending the genres of shoujo romance with shonen action. The plot is very fast-paced, the mecha battles are fun to watch, and the characters are really well developed. My one caveat when recommending it to folks is usually that the pace might be too fast. There are a lot of things happening in every episode and for people who are used to slower-paced, longer shows it can be overwhelming sometimes. Escaflowne throws you right in from the beginning and every episode gets more intense, with tons of stuff going on. It's hard to put down with how much is going on, but I acknowledge the pace could also be offputting or overwhelming.
