Do you like mecha?
| Most of them. Probably. Idk. I'm just salty that people refuse to even try out my favourite anime, which happens to be a mecha show, simply because it has a mecha tag on it. I'm sure there are other genres, like harem, yaoi/yuri, ecchi, dementia, horror, etc. which people miss out on because of their prejudices. |
 |
| My first taste of Mecha was Code Geass then it kinda went from there when my friend at the time recommended SEED then 00 after I finished all of SEED/SEED Destiny. Its one of my favorite genres. |

| The thing is.. I watched mecha but I still hate it. |

I'll watch Gurren Lagann probably after a few years though since me and long anime don't get along. |

| It really doesn't help that shit like Infinite Stratos and Guilty Crown have the mecha tag and are on the first page. My stats for the mecha tagged anime I've watched.  |

| Or maybe they just don't like the ones that get talked about the most. I don't like Evangelion, TTGL, or Code Geass. When others tell me they don't know the joys of Giant Gorg, I never hold it against them. |

| I've only watched NGE and TTGL, and they're very good |

| My first taste of full mecha was either Code Geass or MSG Iron Blooded Orphans, and I absoultely fell in love with the mecha genre. After that I have literally watched most of the major gundam anime, but I have still yet to watch Gundam titles like Turn A Gundam. The only mecha anime I did not like was Neon Genesis Evangelion, but I liked most of what I have seen in Mecha |
 |
| "I hate mecha, except for Code Geass, Gurren Lagann and Evangelion." is actually a more common statement. They said that they hate mecha, but they still like 3 from 3 or 3 from 4 mecha anime they watched. |

| I watched code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Power Rangers,an old anime's 1st episode which was good but I forgot the name , revision, and anime where samurai gets alive again in modern world where he meets a girl from royal family and they bothe fight with aliens IN Robots. And I personally avoid mecha , I feel very cringed when I see the mechanics or robot geeks. |
 |
| Code Geass made me hate mechas, congratz Lelouch. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| I have nothing against mecha, it’s just some of the more popular series are extremely long like Gundam and Macross so I don’t even know if I want to invest the time into them or not |
 |
| giant robots are so cool! they havent seen good ones then |
| I am kinda iffy about mecha, because I don't like two robots fighting. But I do like the contexts, the characters, the drama, the stories. So the only part I dislike about mecha is mecha. |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| I think mechas are very good when done well |

| I have watched some. Most of the time they are kinda more appealing to kids |

| I don't like mecha,robot fight looks like so "slow" ,i don't know. |
 |
| I mean big robots are cool what can I say |
 |
| To me it's really just another genre. It's not for everyone, but it's for more people than are giving it credit. Even people who like every single mecha they ever watch will often quit after just a couple series because "those are outliers because they're popular" even though they're probably more similar than they might expect. |
  |
| Mecha is alright. The ones I've seen have been pretty good. |
 |
| My first Mecha anime was Knights of Sidonia, was a good one but I didn't feel like it intrested me as a mecha anime. My real intrest in mecha rose when I watched Gurren Lagann last year, it is probably one of the best things I have ever watched. Since then I tried getting into Gundam Franchise and loved majority of UC series (except Victory Gundam, it was just next level torture ngl). |
| I've seen a bit more good mecha anime than bad ones, but not really a whole lot. I think that you should try anything regardless of genre or preferences just to see if you like it. |
 |
| Yes I have and they suck ass. Cannot remember when I actually enjoyed one. I watched some shitty Netflix I forgot the name of a while back but dropped it because the protagonist sucked ass deg said: but they watch Attack on Titan which is a Bio-Mecha anime That is the biggest reach in history |
 |
| I don't hate it, but I also don't particularly like it. I consider mecha to be among my least favorite genres. I've seen a good amount of it, and enjoyed several anime with the mecha tag, but just generally speaking, I have a really hard time getting into it, and staying interested. I don't know why, but that's always been the case for me. I guess I just don't get much out of giant robots fighting each other. The more robot or mobile suit fights a show has, the more I tend to be bored by it, though there have been exceptions. That said, I'm never going to judge a whole show based on just its genre alone. If an anime looks like I'll enjoy it, and it happens to include mecha, I'm not going to refuse to even check it out just because of that. If you're talking about Gurren Lagann, this show has been popular and generally well-liked since the day it premiered. I'm sure there are some people who won't check it out because it's mecha, and obviously not everyone who watched it is going to like it, but it has an 8.66 rating on MAL (and 50% of those ratings are a 9 or 10), and is on 1.2 million lists, including 800,000 completed. I don't think you need to worry about it. |

gamer_ said: OP, I see you haven't watched Gurren lagann movies yet. Both movies are great and are like Summary and alternative version of Original anime and contains some really cool extra fights. 2nd movie especially have really goated ending fight way better than original anime imo. Also some events play out differently (but doesn't change anything in plot). If you really liked Gurren Lagann you should definitely give movies a try, they are really great.Most of them. Probably.

| It’s weird. I don’t like robots, but most of the mecha anime I’ve seen I end up liking. Eureka Seven, Evangelion, gurren Laghan, Escaflowne, Code Geass, and Fullmetal Panic are all mechas I’ve enjoyed. |

deg said: mecha genre is usually about wars like Gundam with a lot of giants fighting, politics, drama, tragic deaths, etc that you can see on Attack on Titan too then kingdom is classified as mecha. or berserk. mecha is anime with fuckng robots. nothing to do with politics and what not |

| I've actually been roaming around this site quite a bit and I noticed those who say shit like that tend to be teenage girls. Not lying. Maybe you need more bishies or gayness in mecha to catch their attention lmao |

deg said: lajz said: then kingdom is classified as mecha. or berserk. mecha is anime with fuckng robots. nothing to do with politics and what not im talking about the stereotype of mecha genius i called it Bio-Mecha for a reason since Eren and co pilots those Giants near the head of it they don't pilot shit, they ARE it. what are u reaching at? stop it, get help |

| people who dont like mecha should try "NEON GENESIS EVANGELION". |
 |
| You seem like the type who'll say those who don't like One piece may not have even read a single chapter or caught up to the anime. \You can say the same for those who didn't watch Yuri/yaoi right? I've met quite a few who don't even touch mecha because it has robot fighting.It's understandable.The hate is similar to Yaoi/yuri. |

| i kinda get it because the things I love about mecha are not the mecha itself lol. More on maybe the characters and the story lol. imo giant robots are just the gimmick of the shows but they make it cooler. and yes aot is a bio-mecha show. |
 |
| i don't know if DITF is a mecha anime or romance anime with mecha flavoring |
 |
| Who could forget the classic "I don't like the mecha genre, but I love Code Geass because it's more about the war instead of the mechs". I think saying that phrase deserves jail time. |
 |
| I don't actively seek out Mecha anime, nor do I actively avoid it. If the story sounds interesting to me, I'll consider watching it, being mecha doesn't affect that decision. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
