Looks like it went through.

You might want to check out Basquash.  It's an on-going comedy series about
 mecha playing basketball.  Very odd.  Very silly.  Very humorous.  I'm enj
oying it.

Skip Gundam 00.  Not only is it generic mecha, but it's mostly boring gener
ic mecha even for a mecha fan.  And the first season (required viewing if y
ou want to understand what's going on in the second season) is by far the w
orse of the two seasons.

Alan mentioned Macross Frontier.  It's a mecha show, but it's a very well d
one series for the most part - although apparently YMMV.  According to his 
blog, it appears that list member Astronerdboy didn't care much for it.  Bu
t he appears to be the exception from what I've seen.  Oh, and due to the i
ssues with Harmony Gold and Robotech over all things Macross, it'll probabl
y NEVER be released in the US.

There's also a new OVA series from Kajishima involving Tenchi's half-brothe
r getting taken to an alternate world.  It's just getting started, so I've 
only seen a fansub of the very first episode (using a low quality raw, unfo
rtunately).  Assuming you didn't catch the name of it a week or two ago, th
e title is "Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari".
