#jeeg has its fucking pilot become the mech but that was only one mc and it never gets shit

[no1ryomafan]

Ranting in my server how much it saddens me mechas impact on Japan is unknown in the states even now because most people don’t know of the old shows that brought up the genre especially when the take of “Evangelion is a deconstruction of mecha” is still a take I’ve unironically heard in this year-from one of my fucking irls no less-because I learn more and more how crucial this genre was to Japan-

but than I turn around and ago “yeah I watched maybe 4 mechas and don’t have the desire to really watch more even if there’s some I should probably get too” and I wonder if this makes me come off as a worse “umh actuahlly” person or this is showing how awful my commitment skills to anything as of late have been given there’s NON mecha anime I still need to watch.

#meg text #mecha rambles #this one was a lot shorter but the tags won’t be #I really don’t mind the idea of people fighting in big robots but I think I realized I like the robots being sentient #getter does it in such a compelling way no other mecha has hit for me even if the animes gloss over it #jeeg has its fucking pilot become the mech but that was only one mc and it never gets shit #and I have dabble into transformers but haven’t gone back to it bc I was hit with episodic formula #also I’m not kidding when I say it’s a struggle for me to watch anything even when it’s reasonably short #I started Android kikadier which is 13 eps + a 4 ep follow up ova and still HAVENT GONE BACK TO IT #my ass will never get through a Gundam unless someone watches it with me but fuck if I know where to start #(this is also not a mecha suggestion post I literally never get back to do anything unless I’m fixated) #starting to think I’m more hyperfixated on history and influence but than I come to actually watching a show and I go “yeah no”
