This may describe half of every late 80s mech animé, but I'm hoping someone out there helps me. The style as I recall was pretty 80s: when eyes were generally smaller & hair was more poofy than spiky (tho' if it were Voltes it would be 70s).
In 1993-5, I recall watching on TV (morning on FOX, I think) an English dub of some mecha show about aliens from Jupiter that inhabited large, green, pupa-looking spaceships, their leader a large, dark shadow with red eyes with a large red cloud/planet filling the background. They were at war with Earth, the main character being some young man with tussled black hair.
The episode I remember best: There was a little (girl?) with big eyes and glasses (& a helmet?) who worked a computer in the opening sequence. Spikey Blackhair walks into the mecha hallway, complements long-blue hair female character on her perfume. He noticed, she thinks. Later Spiky Blondhair challenges Spiky Blackhair's fitness to pilot a mecha, so they get into a mecha duel, and Spiky Black started sweating and having a traumatic attack or something of the sort while Bluehair watches concerned. I think it was "to be continued" at that point. While inside the mecha, the pilots' faces were visible, not covered by a mask. The ending credits were just a still-screen of a sunset and the lyric-less music, which I remember but can't hum to you (dadaDAAAAAAA, dadaDAAAAAAAA, dadada DAdaaaaaa dadaDAAAAAAA).
I'm guessing Robotech (blue hair and mechas turning into jets seems familiar) or Voltes (helmet & name look familiar), but I haven't found that little girl at the computer or the music in either series.
