Could a Fantasy Mecha work?  No.23985269
Set in a pre-industrial fantasy where mech are magic and mythological, could that work as a setting? Would you watch it?

its a setting where dragons and golems exist. Im surprised fantasy mechs aren't common.
But then no one knows how to be creative with fantasy shit anymore. It's either gay woke slop, or isekai shit.

The first question you should have asked is whether such series already exist or not. The answer is they do.

A Fantasy mech should be described the way Achilles is described in the illiad, how he could singlehandedly turn the tide of a battle, and if seen by the enemy would cause a route. Even the greatest fighter, Hector, felt he stood no chance against him.
That alone would be a good enough setting for a fantasy mech series.
Then the Odyssey is about Odysseus trying to get home in his ship and he has a fun battle against a cyclops in his mech.

Yeah, it's not really "medieval", but it's clearly a fantasy world with tons of typical things from Japanese western inspired fantasy.

Broken Blade isn't necessarily fantasy but it straddles the line between fantasy and sci fi to a degree. It's a great setting and probably my favorite mech explanation and mechanics in any mecha I've ever seen basically all the mechs work because all of the pilots are "mages" and can use mana to animate quartz crystals that interact with their mana, thus making the mech move. So not only is this a cool mechanic for how the mechs(and all the other tech) works in setting, but it also adds another element outside of just piloting ability and know how as someone who is a great pilot but has weak mana isn't going to be the same as someone who is a noob pilot but has strong mana, and thus can squeeze more performance out of the mech

What if the giant robot (or construct in this case, I guess) was specifically crafted to combat magic. Or the magic system itself is based around the concept.
