People basically agree Evangelion isn't a mecha anime right? They're not actually robots.
>>283586898Technically, cyborgs.
>>283586898It's mecha.
>>283586975Mecha without mechs. Interesting.
>>283586898For the fun of the argument, I'd say that not only is Eva a mecha anime, so is Attack on Titan
>>283586958It kinda feels like Gendo just strapped armor on top of giant flesh monsters he created from pieces of gods, in order to cover up the implications of his terrible research. In order to not let the public know about his demonic research he just made it "look" nice for people by pretending they were robots, but underneath the armor they're fully organic.
>>283586998It was explained in the show that the armor was for restraining the EVA itself. Like a giant straitjacket.
Personally, I see Eva as a harem but it also has cool robot fights.
>>283586898Nope, its mecha.
>>283586998They are just cloned alien giants with cybernetic enhancements for control.
>>283586898Biomecha
bc its mech for like most of its runtime then at like episode 18 its revealed they arent mecha, but still ostensibly mecha for intents and purposes
Still mecha just like Heroic Age
>>283586898Jet Alone made it mecha anime, now shut the fuck up
>>283587247>then at like episode 18 its revealed they arent mechathey call it a jinzo ningen in the very first episodeit bleeds and has an organic eye in episode 2
>>283587093Why do you see it that way
Semantics
>>283587384What makes a story mecha? Especially when there aren't robots? Does something just being really tall make it a mecha?
>>283587402The whole idea of mecha is an avatar for someone powerless, that is usually used as an allegory for growing up, maturing, becoming of age etc.
>>283587093I've never wanted to be a boba tea more in my life
>>283587508So Fullmetal Panic isn't a mecha
>>283587551I knew you would ask that. Its mecha because it has mechs in it, same with Patlabor. What I wrote isn't a rule, more like an artistic element.
>>283587093>breasts
>>283586898Is not mecha because there's people that like it and nobody likes mecha.
>>283587402maybe its the fact that they are in a giant fucking mecha base that administers the eva's, they are a hybrid biological weapon with a ton of mechanical parts (entry plug, power cable, armor), and fight giant monsters and use giant advanced mechanical weaponry? literally just autistic semantics
>>283587595Glad to hear you can tell the difference I was just asking in order to point out that there is a clear difference, not because I expected you would actually try to argue it
>>283587382Because I likey the women
>>283587620Most logical argument in the thread
>>283587677SoIt has nothing to do with what actually happens in the show And it's harem... because reasons
>>283587402>Especially when there aren't robots?>Serious answer, they look like robots and are effectively giant cyborgs so close enough for everyone except the cripplingly autistic
>>283587634they're flesh golems
Watch Brain Powerd or something and tell me its not mecha faggot
>>283587735Pretty much, yeah
>>283586898overrated pretentious garbage,the show
>>283586995Fuck yeah, I knew I wasn't the only one who thought this.
>>283587595>Its mecha because it has mechs in it
>>283586998There are mechanical parts inside too, although presumably just for controlling their bodies.
>>283586995I fully agree
>>283586898it's a deconstruction
>>283589115>>283586995Anyone who unironically argues things like "AoT is actually a mecha" and "cereal is actually a soup" is an autist who constantly trips up over semantics.
>>283589255I fully agree
>>2835892263 decades later and people still believe this retarded shit.
>>283589255Mecha isn't just giant robots but a whole palette of themes and ideas. Being reductionist is disingenuous, but more importantly, it's boring.
>>283589255Not only is cereal a soup, soup is a salad
>>283586898Define robots. Biological creatures are also robots
The mecha and angel fights were the only good things about this anime
>>283589255This>ERM TECHNICALLYShut up, labels exist for convenience.
>>283589255Initial D is mecha
>>283589255Your mother is a mecha because I ride her ass.
>>283589255medabots is a majoshojo
>>283591340>Biological creatures are also robots
>>283586995Fuck I was gonna post this.But yeah, SnK is actually a flesh-mecha anime.
>>283586898If it can be argued that Ratatouille is mecha, then Evangelion is a mecha.
If Evangelion is a mech anime then Attack on Titans is a mech anime
>>283586998Do we ever get a hard answer on how the Evas are created? It kind of feels like a lot of weird bullshit that's never given a definitive depiction. Also apparently the Dead Sea Scrolls are involved? Is Gendo using kabbalah? Jewish witchcraft? The Sephirot does appear in EoE.
>>283586898In another timeline Brain Powerd is more popular than Eva and we'd have daily threads arguing whether it was mecha due to the robots being alive.
>>283589255>custom robo mentionedthat game is the reason I like mechashit at all
>>283595168There's no answer that actually matters in Eva
>>283593357It's got all the themes and everything
>>283586898I argued with a Weeb chick at my work about that.She said because the Eva's are biological, it wasn't a Meca show.
>>283586898it's mecha. you won't saying such bullshit if you were familiar with the genre.
>>283586898biological robots. Only in the manga are they sentient.
