All I remember is it dealt with young people (teens?) who were learning to use mechs or something like that. They had to watch out for some 'trance' mode or something where they would turn like pure white and their hair would pull a DBZ-like thing. Why it was a 'bad' thing I don't remember.
I only remember seeing one or two episodes and this was several years ago, so that's really all I can remember.

P.S. Fullmetal Alchemist is totally fucking awesome, and like Samurai Champloo is worthy of a spot in your DVD library.
There's teens. And there's mechs. And a 'trance' thing that's some sort of disease.
Quoted from Wikipedia:
"Desperation Disease is a coma-like condition in Eureka Seven. Those suffering from it become near-vegetables, save for a fixation on a Compac Drive. The sickness is related to the relationship of the Scub Coral, the Trapar, and the Compac Drive; all three together drive the victim deep into a trance which leads their consciousness to the coralian command cluster."
edit: nm, just reread your post and there is definitely no white hair craziness going on in Blue Gender...
The art style is more 'cute' then realistic. I don't recall (at least in the episodes I saw) the people ever leaving the training facility. I'm assuming since I just randomly saw it it was on TV, like Cartoon Network or whatnot.
It is not Eva or Eureka 7 or anything really well known, that much I'm sure. The 'trance' thing makes it so they become super able in their mechs or whatnot, but for some reason it's bad.
If I remember anything else, I'll be sure to let you know.

The newer stuff looks more crisper and shinier than the anime from the 90's and earlier. If I remember right the 90's characters were drawn much rounder compared to current shows.
Trying to nail down a mech anime is a needle in a haystack sometimes.
Also, it seemed to have a strong comedic element. Nothing outrageous but it wasn't 'super cereal'.

The training took place inside giant rooms in the facility. I'm pretty sure they had to suit up to get inside the mechs.
And their entire bodies turn white. Or near white. Not just the hair.

The characters are learning to pilot mechs and they have a special ability that they can use, but it wasn't a bad thing (or at least from what I recall).

Did I do an accurate job of describing it?
