<p>I'm looking for an old anime which I watched when I was young, during the 90s. As far as I can remember:</p>

<ul>
<li>The earth is flat in the story</li>
<li>The storyline is about this protagonist trying to save the world by killing monsters by transforming into different mecha? </li>
<li>The protagonist transform by inserting a disk (?) into a device on his hand</li>
<li>At the end of the first arc, the world isn't restored, and the protagonist had to return all the disks he collected to their original place</li>
<li>Each time a disk is returned, one of the bad dudes will turn back to normal</li>
<li>To make things clearer, it is the protagonist himself transforming</li>
</ul>

Are you sure they are "disks"? Are they cards? Could it be "Digimon"?

Are you sure this is an anime? Because I can somehow remember a sentai series with your description.

@Moke: That sounds like Shinzo, I also thought about it, but I'm not sure it's it.

A few potential options, some of these are a shot in the dark hoping some of your information is mixed up:

* *Monster Rancher* - Monsters were born from disks and used to battle other monsters. Not a mecha anime and came out in 1999. Protagonist doesn't transform *most* of the time.
* *Saint Seiya* - Has transforming protagonists that look mecha-like. I don't recall any disks though, it came out in the late 80s.
* *Escaflowne* - Came out in the 90s, mecha like.

It could also be some flavor of *Digimon*, *Gundam*, etc.

Very few Mecha anime that weren't *Gundam* or *Macross* came out in the 90s that I'm aware of; but [here is a list](http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=&type=0&score=0&status=0&tag=mecha&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=1985&em=0&ed=0&ey=2000&c%5b%5d=a&c%5b%5d=b&c%5b%5d=c&gx=0).
