ShiibuiiI absolutely love the sort of "mecha girl" look.
Whether they're cyborg ninjas(you're that ninja- Solid Snake) or whatever really. I like the design of characters that have cybernetics attached to them either as the costume or for their transformation itself.
Similar to infinite Stratos and Muv Luv, but not necessarily. Im not talking about pilots vs suits.
More along the lines of Neptunia and Gonna be the Twin Tail. Where they have a sort of futuristic look to them.
Not like Azur lane where it is more "modern" if you follow me.
If you guys are able to make out what im saying I'd appreciate some enlightenment. Or you could drop some figures in a reply and help me find some new ones lol.

However, I think others have sufficiently given you an answer. When in doubt, just use what ever english terms you can think of to describe the effect and then translate that. If you're looking for art on a Japanese website use google translate to help you with navigating the tags. Pixiv is pretty English friendly, though. It's just a matter of using the correct search terms to find what you want.
I think "cyborg" really is a good enough catch-all. You could add "retro" in to your search terms as well. Eg "retro anime cyborg/cyberpunk/cybernetics"
If you're interested in robot/cyborg characters with bits and pieces hanging off them then that's getting fairly specific and I'm afraid I can't help you other than chucking in more terms to your search. Eg wires, plugs, cords etc.
It's also a matter of looking in the right places/discovering artists with similar interests. There are plenty of people and artists out there who are into the whole cyborg aesthetic. You could try looking on Pinterest, too. I actually have a Pinterest board dedicated to robots, but I'm not friggen logged in to stupid-ass Pinterest at the moment so I can't give you the link rn, lol srry.
Anyway, out of interest I did some googlin' and if we wanna talk about the cyborg aesthetic and anime then you absolutely cannot go past the classic Ghost in the Shell. Here's an article where I found the above and below pictures from... it's too long for my dumbass brain to read right now but it seems like it could be an interesting read.

Yes designs like these!
Some like the kancolle series aren't exactly what im referring to but there are a ton in those groups that are!
Thank you! But I still don't really know what to call them hahaha
I'm not sure there's a consensus on how they're called but I'd say mecha musume is a good contender
Armor Girls Project from Bandai
Megami Device and Frame Arm Girls from Kotobukiya
Busou Shinki from Konami
Maybe also Heavily Armed High School Girls from GSC/Max Factory
EDIT: Also Alice Gear Aegis
"Careful hes a hero"
