Also Magic Knight Rayearth (1994/1995) and .hack//SIGN (2002) are good.
The first is fairly generic at first, but once it stops taking itself seriously in S2 it gets actually quite good, in addition to having a good ending.
.hack//SIGN otoh is a video game isekai, but actually done well. No power fantasies, a solid mystery plot and best of all things, it doesn't forget it's a video game and not an alternate reality with a UI.

aura battler dunbine is an isekai from the 80s by yoshiyuki tomino of gundam fame. i'm going to start it soon, but i've heard nothing but good things
It's the isekai, actually. The first anime with the concept of getting transported to another world for whatever reason.
Also SUNRISE shoehorned mecha into it, from what I heard.
yeah but i forgive them since the mechs look cool
Bug knights! Bug knights!
all I know is the OP rocks

Obscure Gundam clone which only has bad subtitles in English, but the Opening is a banger
