I really don't like big over the top type of things most of the time not just mech in general. Just from watching the first three episodes of something like ttgl with how fast things are getting bigger and bigger. Or like the first episode of space dandy them blowing up a planet. Stuff like this just doesn't interest me. Just personal preference I believe mostly.

For me personally I rather see characters having super powers and fighting with their own power instead of relying on a giant robot to fight.

This pretty much sums it up, though I dont necessarily hate mecha or anything..
Hell, my second favorite story ever is a basically one but if possible I rather things that focus purely on people themselves not their level of tech..

I agree with you, it is not as shitty as my social skills. It is way worse.
If it was as 10% good as my social skills, mecha would be 50000x better

I prefer character interactions and using your own powers kind of thing.

Some shows ive been really interested in then mecha comes along and just ruins the mood of the characters (a la...Big O)

I dont mind if mecha is there per se but i really havent seen anything that uses it properly.

it isn't exactly fair but if i didn't like the first one i tried then why waist time searching for a mech i do enjoy. I might get back around to try watching mech again in the future but there is so much other stuff id rather watch first.

side note
by the way this theed be Shaped the title should be why dont many people on here like robot anime

cuase Mecha IN the true term of the word means Machine of any form

why do oty think SRT[SRW] Games are called super robot Taisen[wars] not super Mecha[Taisen/Wars]

I was reluctant at first about the mecha genre, but then i watched NGE, code geass, Aquarion, Rahxephon, Star Driver and Bokurano. all better than gurren laggan
i say that if you liked eva, you will like other serious mecha too, gurren lagan is too silly
i wonder if people who dont like mecha have any more experience than eva and/or gurren laggan

First off the most recent Mecha anime I have watched is Code Geass so I do not have a opinion of anything made after that. With that said I have always been a fan of Mecha. IMO SDF Macross is one of the best anime ever and I have always loved the Gundam franchise. I am not a fan of the "monster of the week" type of shows but I thoroughly enjoy Mecha anime with a well done character driven story such as Zeta Gundam.

I enjoy some mecha shows. I have to be in a particular mood to watch them. The main reason I don't watch them as much as other genres is because mecha shows are often 30% giant robot fighting compared to 70% of the time debating morals and politics. Though, I like that from time to time too. Just my opinion on the matter.

Mecha doesn't make sense as a genre though. Mecha means there are giant robots in it. It could still be anything from an action show to a romance drama.
Sourire said:

But isn't that more just disliking various shows, rather than the idea of mecha itself? I mean is it really the mecha's fault that many shows have bad writing?

Mecha anime don't even need to have fighting in them to be called mecha anime. They just need to have giant robots. Though I get what you're saying.
