To get in the robot or to cry in the corner and not get in the robot. This problem is old since the early days of mecha anime. So what kinda protag do you like more?

Notable examples of lame cowards: Ikari Shinji, Kamina Ayato, Gouwa Yushiro
Notable example of crazy suicidal maniacs: Simon, Shishioh Gai, Kaido Yuji, Cosmo Yuuki

I have a weakness for guys who are brave and I kinda dislike cowards so I'll go with my crazy dudes.

I quite like indifferent pilots such as Mikazuki Augus and Kenshi Masaki.

I think I prefer ones that can since the latter can sometimes be annoying if mishandled

I can’t believe a depressed 14 year old boy who’s
doesn’t want to get into a robot that he could potentially die from. What a coward😒 I’m definitely picking the boys who want to get in the robot they’re real men and way more realistic😫😫😫

Boys who don't get in the robot.

I rarely watch gut-wrenching "realistic" psychological dramas, but when I do, I certainly don't want some random kid to carry the weight of the entire freaking world without even flinching.

Freaking anime sometimes, I swear... throw some nakama in there and there's nothing that can't be done.

It's a good way to determine who is who by such poll. First type is pretending to be tough, indifferent or simply wacko to hide their scare and insecurity - teenage type obviously which is full of pretentious and "edgy" attitude when the second type is about simple real person which hate to do something but do it anyway like adults do. First type don't know anything about responsibility, it lacks of self-analisis and simply stupid, anyone could manipulate such type. Second type prefer to think to much so could get depressed even by thinking about tough stuff not just only by participating in it since such type analyze everything and has its concerns, it's a skeptical type which like to ask right questions to right people.

there is no bravery where there isn't a little fear and reluctance. the kids who don't want to get in the robot just recognize the terrifying scope and often the absurdity of the situation they're dealing with.

A pilot boy of a giant robot who always says that he will kill me but never do it anyway until the end.

I thought Shinji was really brave honestly, especially with his mental state.

I prefer boys that would rather do the thing that makes them no longer alive than get in the robot. They want to go to the complete opposite end of the universe to the location of said robot. That robot smells really bad.

unfortunately, I omitted pilot chicks but the only coward I know of is Kanou Nagisa from Iczer One, she preferred fighting tentacle monsters than get in the robot

There is also Noriko from Gunbuster who started off fearful but she was able to overcome her insecurities. I guess Noriko would be more like Simon from Gurren Lagann since both of them go through characters arcs where they start off as meek cowards but transform into total badasses through their experiences.

I understand you are looking more for the Shinji types who would never get any better xD

it's hard to differentiate them all as black and white / cowards and braves, like a poster above said, Shinji did a pretty good job later in the series. Noriko would be in the grey area.

Where is the option in which I prefer no living being enters a robot and the robot operates itself?
