Humanity has advanced to great heights since it obtained the information technology known as "Mana." With that nearly magical power, problems like war, food shortages, and pollution have been eliminated. In this age of peace and freedom, First Princess Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi of the Misurugi Empire is a privileged girl with no disabilities. She learns, however, that she is a "Norma," a kind of human who cannot use Mana and are outcasts of society. Having lost everything, she is sent to an isolated island. There she meets other Normas who ride in humanoid weapons called Para-mails, protecting the world from dragon invaders from another dimension.

There was a small boom this past decade that seems to be over atm. Nothing groundbreaking, but some decent entertainment (and also some I would never, ever recommend, either due to quality or objectionable content). Off the top of my head: several Gundam entries - including AGE, IBO, Reconguista, Unicorn, Thunderbolt, the OO movie, and the Build Fighters and Build Divers series - Rideback, Star Driver, Valvrave, Suisei no Gargantia, Majestic Prince, Cross Ange, Buddy Complex, Aldnoah.Zero, Darling in the Franxx, Heroman, SSSS Gridman, the Evangelion Rebuild series, several mecha musume series, Macross Delta, Muv-Luv Alternative, several Code Geass sequels... I'm sure there are more. One might even consider Attack On Titan a sort of mecha series (it certainly has more in common with Gundam than, say, Godzilla). I think it's only been in the past year that we haven't seen multiple concurrent releases.
(I want to reiterate that these are not in any way recommendations or endorsements. I watched and enjoyed many of these shows, but also dropped or never began several because of the questionable nature of one or more of their aspects.)
Edit: Bubuki Buranki. Everyone always forgets Bubuki Buranki.
