Could it be Big O? Anyway, you should check all the anime in this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Adult_Swim_programs

I think it might be Code Geass, which had bright colors and Zero's outfit was blue. The robots were also fairly small and the Gurren was red.

Nope not Big O I've been watching it and not enough rainbows. Code Geass has a different art style than the one I'm thinking of. this one had a bunch of different sized robots and not all of them needed pilots but they were still connected to people somehow.

I'm sorry, it's not FLCL, is it?

Sound like the early episodes of Gurren Lagann. The robot are not large (usually) there are arguments by pools of water, and early in the show Humans greatly fear robots.

@ Larek: Gurren Lagann is a recent anime. This guy said that he saw this when he was little. Plus, Gurren Lagann was never shown on Adult Swim.

@Metal Gear Chick, Yes to me an you its recent, however its really 5 years old now and a current College student could have seen it when in junior high. It seemed to fit so I suggested it.

I believe you may be talking about s-CRY-ed. It was one of the first shows that Adult Swim showed and the "blue guy with a robot" is named Ryuhou and the "red mecha" Kazuma, well he wasn't exactly a mecha but his arm was kinda. That is the only show I remember them airing with a description like that. And the "feared group" is the HOLY organization.

That definitely sounds like sCRYed to me. The characters get rainbow auras when they use their powers, and the guy summoning a little robot and people freaking out about it matches up to Ryuho.
