Because there are dozens of anime that should be seen before it. You should really have a good bit of mecha under your belt before you approach the show, anyways, so you can focus on not missing one of the eleventy-seven plot twists and deus ex machina.
I'll list some anime that pretty much everyone should watch regardless of their interests:
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
The Tatami Galaxy
Planetes
5 Centimeters Per Second
Pale Cocoon (~20 minute short)
Casshern Sins
Anything by Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki
Time of Eve
FLCL (requires watching a good bit of Gainax's previous study to completely understand)
If you're into romance even a smidge:
Eureka 7
Bokura Ga Ita
Ouran High School Host Club
ToraDora
The GIrl Who Leapt Through Time
The Place Promised in Our Early Days
Summer Wars
Welcome to the NHK
If you like action:
Full Metal Panic
Full Metal Alchemist
Black Lagoon
Kure-nai
Darker than Black
Wolf's Rain
