How do you feel about Mecha? What's your favorite show?
Anonymous 6337
I like it a lot. I rewatched Gunbuster last week and I'm rewatching TTGL now.
NGE is not a conventional mecha show, but it's my favorite of all time.
Gundam is also among my favorites, but I don't really like late UC/AU shows, though SEED is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Started watching Gundam by release date, it was pretty fun watching the OG '79 Mobile Suit Gundam.
War in the Pocket is my personal favourite

>>6343Personally, I think soyboy is the best. Unicorn has one of the best animations I've seen, but the story was just too convoluted to me.

i find them tolerable at most, Gankutsuou had mecha fights out of nowhere and i didn't hate them… too much.

Super Dimension Fortress Macross is really fucking good. There's drama, an excellent romance subplot imo, and it's just a really good story overall. Also shills the importance of music and positive cultural exchange. I'm planning on watching Macross 0 next and I'll let y'all know what I think :P

Don't mind Mecha but I cannot stand Tomino's legit autistic directing. It is so awful and unrelatable, just like watching an autist trying to imitate normal human interactions with a story that goes all over the place.

>>6357You should see it in a more snarky way. The fact that almost every newtype carries strong autistic traits (Judau being the main exception here) makes the whole thing even funnier, especially considering how gritty are some of the shows.

>>6396I love NGE as much as the next miner but despite being a Mecha is also a deconstruction of the genre. Of course having giant robots is cool, but that ain't what NGE is about.

I wish mecha wasn't a dead genre.

>>6412Just because there aren't serious mecha shows coming out each season doesn't make it dead.

Im not sure if this applies but there is a Gundam video game that came our on the ps4 fairly recently. So if you're into gundam I would recommend it, its called gundam Maxi boost on.

>>6396NGE is the only mecha i've watched and i watched it pretty recently and don't understand it at all which i guess is a common sentiment

>>6308I've only seen NGE, and a show whose name I can't remember but stole the plot from NGE, so I guess NGE?

>>6704It's like 2001: A Space Odyssey, you're not supposed to grasp everything in the first time without thinking a bit. That's one of the reasons why it's such an amazing show.

>>6721>It's like 2001: A Space Odyssey,You can say that again, akchually,
some Evangelion elements were implicitely referring to 2001.
The main ones being the Seele monoliths and the delicate design of Ramiel.

i LIKE evangelion because i relate to asuka a lot, it's in my top 5 ever, but the BEST mecha i've seen is by far Vision of Escaflowne. i adore Hitomi as a protagonist. the movie sucks though.
Anonymous 23041
>>23040oh right plus it's a shoujo that helps
Anonymous 23042
>>23040Awesome, Escaflowne is my favorite mecha show. I also really like Gundam 0079 and Build Fighters. I like Evangelion but I also like Rahxephon which most people say is just an NGE knockoff but I like it more. I should mention Code Geass which is one of the last anime I really liked (yes I'm a boomer). I like Transformers too, hopefully that counts even though it's not really anime.
>>6412Also this and sci-fi in general. I miss the 90s.
Anonymous 23043
>>23042i don't really like mechas, actually! i had no idea NGE was a mecha going in, i somehow knew nothing about it even in 2020. Escaflowne i knew, but i watched with my best friend so i stuck with it. i cried at the end, [when Celena lived and Van didn't kill Allen]Text[/spoiler].
hopefully that spoiler works

>>23043I'm watching the first Gundam movies right now as an introduction to the franchise, because there's a couple Gundam series I'm interested in watching.
I'm still in the middle of the second movie.
>>23040>i LIKE evangelion because i relate to asuka a lotlol, why does everyone says they relate to Asuka? I mean, I loved Eva, but I didn't really feel like I related with any one character
that much. If anything, I'd say I relate to Rei or
if we're not counting Rei because of certain reasons Ritsuko more than the others, maybe.
>>18049lol, I wonder why that filter was made.
>>23043>hopefully that spoiler worksNo anon, it didn't work. I think you still have a bit of time to delete your post and correct that.
Your spoiler should go in between the spoiler tags. The spoiler tags are the two "spoiler" inside the brackets and should be left intact.
Basically, you should've replaced the "Text" part of the example with your spoiler.

>>23054It seems to be considered "borderline". In practice, saying that Eva is your favorite "mecha" show might imply that you don't really like the genre.

I loved Getter Robo manga series, Particularly Go, Ishikawa Ken's art is juicy as hell but all the anime and OVA adaptions kind of suck.

>>24170I liked in the manga when they recruited the "cool" guy who was part of that student group and on his first sortie when he had no idea what was going on, he was just insane with fear despite being a big badass.

>>24173I've heard somewhere else that Gundam Wing is a show for girls because it has a lot of hot guys and strong female characters. Is that true?

Space Runaway Ideon was a really cool series, although the middle was weak and the you probably could have trimmed it down to 26 episodes without losing much. I cried a lot during the movie and a few times during the show. Great anime! I strongly recommend it if you like Tomino. Or even if you like Eva since it clearly influenced Anno a lot.
But I think Ideon itself kind of looks dorky so I'm posting the superior Mecha.
