Are there any other shows or novels that are fantasy mecha? So far, I've only seen Escaflowne and Frame Gride.

Dunbine. It's an isekai show in a fantasy world with bug mechs. It kind of has a medieval style. Lots of cool mecha action, fairy butts, it's pretty cool.

Panzer World Galient is a personal favorite. Little more down to earth and less magic oriented than other sci-fantasy shows. The final arc really spoke to me.

Break Blade adaption is pretty terrible and the manga basically got self-cancelled because the author got bored of writing it.
>>
>>22991492
Majin Hunter Mitsurugi is a fantasy robot series if I ever saw one (even if it is toku and aired 10 years before Dunbine).

>>22991492
Rayearth
Ryu Knight
NG Knight Lamune

They're much more fantasy compared to Escaflowne though.

what are you talking about? The adaptation movies were pretty great and had awesome mecha action. They just end abruptly because they literally ran out of manga chapters to adapt. Hoping that one day the author gets unbored with the concept and picks it back up again, it was so unique
>>
>>22993041
More like broken buck, I remember being confused by their awkward sad love triangle. I did like that they put thought into the setting with the small desert city-state using what little resources they have to deal with a massive invasion.

Not OP but should I read the manga first? Somebody told me the anime messed up the ending?
>>
>>23011040
I dunno about messed up but like every Clamp series the manga and anime are very different
>>
>>23011040
Anime ending aired when manga ending didn't exist yet.
>>
>>23011040
The anime does have more of the mecha, but you do have to wait until the end of the first season before they get used. And then they pop up a lot more in the second season.
>>
There's also this. Though, I've heard the anime didn't do the fights justice.
>>
>>23011040
I really, really, really like the anime original characters and conflict. The finalie was extremely cathartic.

IIRC it was also written by the clamp ladies so it's "official" in its own way, just a different take on the second arc.

It's a form of DRM, because corporations and game devs don't realize that pirates won't ever give a fuck while they're just hurting actual customers.

Knights and Magic is a pretty generic isekai series, but it does focus on mecha

>>23011787
The original work didn't do much with the mecha to begin with.

>>23035085
Knight's & Magic manga adaption was cancelled and anime adaption was quite lackluster.
>>
>>23035122
Post-S1 anime is where the series becomes more interesting. Overall, the mecha-building aspect is what makes the series distinct rather than the typical "MC piloting one-of-the-kind OP mech"

Not a show or novel(unless you consider rpg rulebook novels)but Exalted has fantasy mechs called war striders. Exalted borrows a lot from anime.
>>
If we're talking about TTRPGs, then Tenra Bansho Zero has tons of material. Different design philosophies for units so you can have your grunts or your super unique prototypes within the same point buy framework, unique storytelling mechanics (players incentivized to come up with stuff and make things easier for the gm), etc. It's a really fun game.

The "generic isekai tropes with op hidden mech" the series. What was it?

Not that guy, but I just got around to reading the final arc a few days ago. The author literally skipped everything that he'd set up to lead up to the ending. A "continuation" could be the bits that were implied to have happened in that time, like Zess and Rygart finally facing off against each other during the siege of Fort Mizram, and expanding on the assassination attempt. I was also intrigued by the concept art for a prequel following the ancients and the circumstances surrounding the Delphine's creation.

Taniguchi threw cowboys, wuxia, knights and robots into one series when he made Back Arrow.
Nowhere near as good as GunxSword but still pretty fun and I don't know if GunxSword counts since Westerns usually aren't considered fantasy.
