| I prefer REAL power, but mecha could be good when done right. |

| Mecha combat is always fun to watch. It's rare to see fights were scale is practically all over the place without it being dismissed solely as "over the top"... Or viewed negatively because of the fact. |
| I love it a lot. From gundams to tachikoma to transformers and even genocyber mechs. |

| Alright, well I simply explained why I cannot appreciate mechas, especially those with heavy traits such as using robots 24/7. Mine was just an opinion on not liking mechas in fact the "in my opinion" and "for me". The problem for me is that the reasons that usually these robots are use is pretty much always with the clichè of "saving the world" "saving the universe" or "do it for the one dear to me". And this is something that is really common in the fighting genre and FOR ME it is not something that attracts me to the story. Mindless fighting for most of the show like Dragonball or Bleach to name some of the "big" even though there are others that are just the same, among the many reasons why I don't watch such shows. Not only that, but something that has always bothered me was: how can using a giant robot magically become effective when the army is completely useless, even when you use nuclear weapons?( as in the case of EVA) That is something that has always bothered me, as well as how could piloting a robot become the most efficient tool for your war, while the rest is just fodder? I have attempted to watch and watch quite some titles with different emphasis on the "robot" part, mechas that do not inherently contain a lot of "piloting a giant robot" sort of stuff like a Guilty Crown or even Xam'D. To animes where there was a lot like Gundam, Vandread or Gurren Lagann. From a wide spectrum of ideas that were presented in the shows really, it is something that has put me off, despite some containing interesting portrayals of ideals that characters were holding, from having a potentially good plot. I just could not bear the robots, in a show that could have been good were it not for them. Also, how does wanting "realism" automatically result in "people shouldn't watch anime if they want realism"? Even what I seek is not solely nor entirely "realism" as I have watched anime for quite a long time and appreciated many titles despite them not bearing a lot of realism? As if animes do not have examples that do represent "realistic" situations and possibilities like Aoi Bungaku or Kino no Tabi portraying aspects and possibilities realistically. And finally, how is it any pretentious when the person I quoted said stuff like "Mecha is awesome" with the sole reason they look "cool" while fighting when I gave a more descriptive answer describing how I (me) do not like the genre using some of his terms? Pretentious when all you can say is: burntlettuce said: I don't understand how I keep forgetting how pretentious MAL is. That being said, I quite enjoy Mecha. Giant Robots fighting is always a fun watch. I know perfectly well we all share different tastes, and even I have come to appreciate some titles solely for what they wanted to convey, but I just can't stomach fighting for indeed quite the clichè reasons, instead of a more complex and intellectual motive. |
| I like mecha but I when I look for a anime to watch I do not seek out that genre.If its in there then its in there if it isn't then it isn't. |
| I don't like mecha and only watch mecha anime for other elements. TTGL was my first mecha anime. Its characters were interesting enough to keep me watching. |
| Currently having Pacific Rim fever DDD: God DAMN, I NEED THE MOVIE TO COME OUT NOWWWW |
 I love you. |
| Well it depends... I haven't seen many shows from the genre, but what I did see was good. Here I am talking about the first Gundam. I also trued NGE but got really bored iwth it. Still, people say that NGE isn't focused on the mecha aspect so I guess this rules it out. |
If you are a fan of (or simply interested in) Japanese films then please join the Cinema of Japan club! Thank you (: |
| If the story is good then yes. I can deal with giant robots and explosions every once in a while, but if the story is just garbage then no mecha for me. |

| I haven't seen too much mecha, but I like what I've seen (Gurren Lagann, Nadesico, Gun x Sword, IGPX, etc) |

| I hate Mecha, only "mecha" series i have ever finished is Code Geass and thats because it's the Madoka Magica of Mech series. |
Arete7 said: I hate Mecha, only "mecha" series i have ever finished is Code Geass and thats because it's the Madoka Magica of Mech series. Not really a good example. It doesn't do anything different from your general mech series with the addition of some supernatural abilities. To be honest, the closest mecha anime to Madoka would be Asura Cryin. Yea, that's right, that crap. Death, contracts, and timetraveling/parallel worlds. Add mechs, you got Asura Cryin. That or some sophisticated mecha anime I never bothered to touch. |
