This is a genre of anime which features mechanical fighting machines. Often these take the form of giant robots but this isn't the only form mecha can take. There are tons of examples of mecha titles considering the popularity of the series. Blue Gender, Shin Seiki Evangelion, Tenkuu no Escaflowne, and Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 are all classic mecha titles.
Older anime titles, from the 80's back. What the actual amount of time that has to expire must be is unknown to me, but as a rule of thumb, a title should at least be 10-years old. Lupin III is an example of a classic title.
