How is it /m/? EVAs aren't robotic in any way and they're made of flesh.
Eva already appeared in SRW alpha and SRW V, that's the stamp of approval that Eva is mecha.
>>23818545But y tho
Who dis cutie
>>23818542Eva's basic premise is inspired by Mazinger Z according to Anno in an interview (teens piloting to protect a lab) although it takes things in a different direction.Also, they still have cockpits, armor and mechanical implants even if it's just to control them.
>>23818655Which is why Koji will always be Shinji's big brother
>>23818645Youko naga something? She was from a hentai from long ago that i can't remember but theres a scene where her skirt gets stuck while picking up a box and she gets pantsed.
>>23818542Pretending to be retarded is not a good look for you, anon
>>23818542How is Ultraman /m/? Ultras aren't robotic in any way and they're made of light.
>>23818967Should this really be enough to upset you?>>23818973Fair question honestly. Mecha is short for mechanical. So it should get the mechanical part. Mothra isn't mecha is it?
>>23818967I think it's a legit newfag zoomer trying to police a board older than him.
>>23818999>trying to police
>>23818999GONNA HAVE TO TRY HARDER THAN THAT SAMEFAG LMAOOOOOOO
>>23818995Yes, getting mad over trivial shit is my hobby
>>23818542Is pic somehow related?
>>23818542Careful with the spoilers!
>>23820531Literally the first episode calls them "synthetic lifeforms"
Enough of your stinky giant cyborgs. This is now a based Jet Alone thread.
>>23818542Source?
>>23826627Hello?
>>23826627thats youko nagawa from shin ruriiro no yuki
>>23818542Easy, they fall under the category of kaiju/toku. Both are /m/ topics.
>>23831048Thanks.
>>23818999HE.
>>23818662So was she wearing a skirt or pants?
>>23818542Technically speaking, the play that originated the word robot had robots made of flesh.
Anyone know the title >>23818662 is referring to?
>>23840040this thread is 27 posts long please read it
>>23842315I already have; no one's provided the complete information.
>>23818542https://kotaku.com/hideaki-anno-says-evangelion-is-a-robot-anime-1846663397>“Evangelion is robot anime,” Anno said. His revelation surprised even Ogata, who exclaimed, “Ah, it was robot anime?” Continuing, Anno said, “Among robot anime, Gundam is famous, but even Gundam doesn’t reach 10 billion yen.”>“I’m truly thankful that with a niche robot anime like this we can aim at 10 billion yen,” he added.
>>23843209that's a goddamn fucking lie, someone even replied "Thanks." to the guy who said it
>>23843333Why do you keep replying to bait?
>>23843337how else can I keep the thread alive?
>>23843349Let things die when they are done.
>>23818542Because they look like a robot and are controlled like a robot.
>>23818545Eva's SRW debut was in F back in 1997>>23818542As already pointed out, many /m/ topics aren't strictly mechanical, see: sentai, kaiju, tokusatsu in general.Also, Evas have a lot of mechanical parts and for all intents and purposes they function like giant robots and are piloted the same way other giant robots are, so in reality you just want to force the "eva isn't mecha!" because you learned about the fact they are giant biological creatures wearing mechanical armors.
>>23818542>evas aren't robotic! they're made of fleshBut anon, by that logic, Aura Battlers (made of giant insect parts) and Transformers (living beings) would be /m/ either...
>>23843333My bad.
>>23818657I really need to get into SRW someday, wish I know a way how to play them.>>23821708Jet CHADlone
>>23843922>Transformers (living beings)How do you define "living"?
>>23848301Not the biological sense, apparently.
>>23831048Does it have /m/ content?
>>23821708Any relation to Jet Jagger?
>>23818657That the guy named after a helmet?
>>23852326Don't you men Jet Jagular?
>>23855107Jet Jugular?
>>23856549No, Jet Jagwire!
>>23858348Jet Jagyouare.
>>23850943>>23852326>>23849615>>23850943>>23852326>>23853473>>23855107>>23856549>>23858348>>23860352Very organic replies.
>>23860363Is there some reason you quoted >>23850943 and >>23852326 twice?
>>23818582You forgot the interrogation mark.
>>23818542>How is it /m/?Because in all other respects, EVAs are functionally mechs and the show itself is concerned with mech-related themes.
>>23864276Mech-related themes in itself doesn't necessarily make something /m/.
>>23820531It's been thirty years; I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge by now.
>>23821669If that weren't enough to inform the audience, they literally show what they look like under the armor at the end of the first episode.
>>23848301In most depictions, the Cybertronian species isn't a race of robots, but a race of pure-energy lifeforms that (usually) animate robotic bodies.
>>23870176>a race of pure-energy lifeformsWould electrical impulses count as pure energy?
>>23871373just the impulses, sure, but if you're about to go UM ACTUALLY about human consciousness or whatever, we still need the squishy bits for those impulses to do anything. and, you know, exist.
>>23818657The family he never had.
>>23870176Hey, is that Getter 2 in the last panel of the second page?!
>>23873859i have no idea who you're looking at
>>23873903My bad, I was following the Japanese format. It's in the bottom left panel.
>>23875088I still have no idea who you're looking at. screenshot it.
>>23875130Look at the panel with the speech bubble that says "TIRED OF YOUR ALT MODE? WANT TO CHANGE FROM 'BOT TO CAR TO SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY?"
>>23876378Bro you could have just said "the guy with the drill on his head" this whole time.That's the drill Powerdasher, Zetar. I'd like to know what you think Getter 2 looks like, because Zetar looks nothing like it other than "has drill somewhere on body".
>>23818542You should see what the mecha in Super Sentai are. They're supposed to be GODS.
>>23867706>EVAs are functionally mechs>AND>the show itself is concerned with mech-related themes.
>What is the deal with Evangelion?
>>23876538I was commenting facetiously on its conical head shape.
>>23877813you did an extremely bad job of doing so
>>23877837It was fine. I got it immediately.
>>23877837Tough crowd.
>>23876541Deus ex machina?
>>23880719Or Megadeii.
>>23882014>Or Megadeuces.FTFY
>>23883258Did they really not know how to pronounce deus?
>>23884836Might've been censorship. You know what the anglosphere is like.
>>23886428All the more egregious when the average anglophone probably isn't even familiar with the word deus, let alone knows what it means.
>>23888204That would be the CYOA mentality so prevalent in societies dominated by thought-policing vigilantes and busybodies.
