| I noticed a lot of mech anime like to end by having the main characters usually jump a vast distance across time and space, fighting continously throughout, some anime even like to say they fight for eternity. For example the Getter Robo Armageddon anime ends Darling in the Franxx does a similiar thing, except they only fight for 2 years; Gurren Lagann shows us the fight but it still takes place in a different dimension. Does anybody know where this "trope" comes from? Or what it means even? |
Gythia said: Probably because they want to take the already grand theme of mechas into a more grander scale, I don't know when this first happened, but Evangelion is the oldest anime that I can think of that has this trope Hmm that sounds like something that would fall in line with the idea of super robots but clearly that can't be the only thing right? Shouldn't there be more examples of super robot shows that approach this differently then? |
