Titans as a system and the whole stuff about the goddess Ymir and
make titans feel too much like their own thing to simply be labelled flesh mechs.

It's a superpower. They're not 'piloting' biomechs, they are the titan despite the parallel of the real them being inside the body. So while there are similarities and it's fun to think of them as biomechs they technically work differently. They're also completely different from any existing mechs that I know of, which are all mechanical in some way so extending it to include purely biological forms hasn't been done before afaik.

Mecha shows are trash
The only one who did right is Code Gayass and the worst parts are still the mecha ones

Answering seriously..



While there are similarities, titans are just giant humans, they dont have anything mechanical (mecha) about them.

I can forgive them because they don't have mechanical parts.

yeah mecha is really a vague genre, some shit thats just people transforming into suits of armor sometimes get classified as a mecha too.

It really doesnt matter much in the end, but I did always get the vibe that shingeki noi kyojin was going for the "its secretly a mecha" route even if technically it isnt one.

What happen to your fucking brain to think it's mecha
