And I felt like Tatenashi and Houki got the best ones. Idk, honestly speaking I didn't like how IS-2 went about it ever since episode 4 or so because I thought they're just overkilling it and liked IS-1 a lot more than IS-2. That being said, I got annoyed about this bomb scene where imouto, Charles, Laura and Ling were in that train, 30 minutes before bomb explodes, they all have their own IS and noone thinks of just using them to fly everyone out of the monotrail? Should have been easily doable but I guesss Charles and Laura did need to get their screentime as well ... But yes on the Houki and Tatenashi part. They certinaly got the better parts and I almost forgot about Ling while watching. She did nothing at all the entire episode, did she? + Show Spoiler + imouto = hacker houki + worst girl = slayer of spiders charles + Laura = saving the day after imouto screw up Ling = ?!?! Best part has to be ED with everyone in casual clothing though. Good thing they didn't just go "OH SHE SEEMS TRUSTWORTHY, HOW ABOUT YOU JOIN OUR GROUP" à la Dungeons & Dragons about the other imouto. | ||

Also the same kind of goes for Code Geass but I still think the 2nd season is not BAD just meh, Eureka seven is awful, if you want action this isn't it, it's basically a slice of life in a flying ship and from time to time a mecha shows up. Escaflowne is sort of mecha and it's good enough, I would also suggest Gurren Lagann if you haven't seen it, one of my favorites and it's pretty mecha I think. Last I think you should watch Macross Frontier (awesome stuff with good music), Macross Zero, pretty good and Macros Plus which is even more awesome with great music. AND stay the fuck away from Macros 7, what a pile of crap. PS: FMP is so bad... except for that one funny episode. Watch Gundam the 8th ms team instead, this one is actually good. Code Geass R2 not bad. Escflowne "sort of mecha". Gurren Lagann is "pretty mecha I think". Macross Frontier is "awesome stuff". Macross Zero is "pretty good". Macross 7 being bad. FMP is bad too? And then you think you can tell other people they have awful taste? Please, spare this thread from this crap. Did you decide all those shows were bad without watching them as well? | ||

Did you decide all those shows were bad without watching them as well? That's my opinion :D, you're allowed to disagree. No, I watched all of them, Macross 7 was the only one I didn't finish, couldn't stand the ridiculousness of the whole musical robot thing after 14 or so episodes, I love shows that do a good job integrating good music into the show but not like this. FMP was just stupid, it wasn't funny except for that one episode, it took itself too seriously, it didn't have good action, I HATED that girl, the guy was fucking stupid (girl didn't help), it was a mess imo but I know other people like it, I just don't. It would have been better if every episode was like that comedy episode. Escaflowne is pretty mecha lol, I mean the robots may not fly in space and they are in a fantasy setting but it's basically medieval/fantasy Gundam. | ||

Found it strangely entertaining. I hate this time of the year where all our favorite TV shows & anime shows come to a slow stand still. Between getting my weekly dosage of Magi season 2 & Kuroko no Basket Season 2, theres not much going on...and Kill la Kill is rubbish. | ||

As an aside, Macross 7 picks up greatly in the 20s. | ||

What I said about Escaflowne was well.. it is not your usual space opera type of mecha or at least futuristic, so I can see why some might see it as a different type of mecha and not 100% mecha. Though it meets one of the requirements perfectly. which is an annoying female lead. Gurren Lagann well hmm yeah it's pretty fucking mecha, but it's about so many other things as well that just another show with robots in it doesn't do it justice at least for me. I don't care, I shouldn't have to put up with 20 episodes of crap just to get to the good bits, besides if I hated the whole musical robot thing now I doubt I'm gonna like it 20 episodes later. I had a similar issue with Eureka, like 15 episodes of faffing around doing nothing and I'm supposed to put up with it and wait till shit gets good.... Well FMP had 1 episode that felt was WAY more comedic than the rest, it was full on silliness, I watched that show forever ago I don't remember the specific episode but it did felt different in tone compared to the rest. Kind of like the 6th episode of kyoukai no kanata. | ||

Your memory of FMP must be as strong as your memories of Gundam Wing. Especially the ENTIRITY of FMP Fumoffu is straight comedy that puts ep6 of KnK to shame. Being "space opera" or "futuristic" are not qualities of mecha. Having mecha is the only thing that makes "mecha" "mecha". To be clear here, I'm taking issue here specifically with calling our taste "awful" while spouting your own as gospel, your incredible misrepresentation of FMP due to faulty memory, and thinking Escaflowne and TTGL are in some non-mecha gray area. You can like what you want, and I don't think any of these points are taking issue with your taste, specifically. | ||

 . I'm not saying I can't be judged on my opinion, you can judge me and I can judge yours but I'm not getting into a debate over it :D mmmkay?. I saw some people bitching about Eva not being totally mecha, so go bitch at them too, would be nice if you shared your wonderful person with everyone and not just me. I feel bad hogging all your time, man. I would say yes Esca and GL are both mecha BUT not just mecha, like something from the gundam or macross series which are imo mecha through and through, most of them anyway. Always a pleasure exchanging ideas with you Sentenal. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I don't know why, but I really enjoyed the parts with hanekawa, though I've never been a big fan of her. Maybe it's just a good combo. | ||

Also, did you know that every single mecha anime ever, and ever will be, will be more than just "mecha"? Including Gundam and Macross. Please stop saying objectively wrong things that make you look uninteligent, and we won't have these problems. | ||
