Cause they're the two good ones
Honestly if I were to name just one anime that was "worth" watching it would be Sakura Quest. Which is not to say that Sakura Quest is the best anime of all time, nor even my personal favorite anime, just that it's an anime that's worth watching.
I mean, my profile pic is Totally Not Char Aznabel. I do genuinely like some anime though I'm pickier than most. I was just having a gag. Although Nichijou is for sure my fave and Medabots does in fact rock. I like Gundam stuff though I'm only up to Chars Counterattack, Digimon, Kino's Journey, Paranoia Agent, Serial Experient Lain, Eva of course.
I did figure it was probably a gag.

I think the OP of that one is the oldest anime-related video on YouTube, that's the only relation I have to that show right now, but it does sound interesting...
I've heard plenty about that one, even interpretations that the main character is non-binary, but I hear the title and all I can think about is Viktor Tsoi.
I've at least heard of the former two, I know they're very popular and Gundam especially seems like it has some significance as this very long-running and influential mech series. Medabots is totally unknown to me.
Medabots aired on fox kids when I was like 11 and then when I was 17 me and some friends found it on YouTube and rewatched (it's still all there) and found out the show is funny as hell and not in a gag dub kinda way. It's on that collectible battleable pokemkn trend but the setting here is that every kid has a fully armed 3 foot tall robot they battle with and they're treated like having pokemon cards, just no biggie. It knows it's silly and leans in just enough.
The collectible battleable trend anime I remember from my own childhood was Dinosaur King, but it seems reviews are not as kind to that than to Medabots. I do enjoy a good anime that knows it's silly and leans into it just enough, I might say that Precure is such a franchise though I haven't seen much of it.
Digimon is also sick, the dub has silly gags thrown in and the sub is more srs but I like both cause I grew up with the dub. Bear in mind it was constantly compared to pokemon cause they got a show going a year after pokemon even tho Digimon existed a year before pokemon as a tomagotchi kinda thing. Anyway, it's the kind of kids show you'd like your kid to watch if you had one. First 2 seasons are like that at least, the cast learns personal growth stuff that a pre teen should be hearing about. Then season 3 comes along and is in a whole different continuity and is run by the same dude who made serial experiments lain and while amazing I can recall as a kid being pretty spooked by stuff, it's psychological horror and also the back story involves a bit of knowing how computers work. It's really cool but it's also weird that it aired as a Saturday morning cartoon
