Finally a channel that goes into in-depth, thoughtful discussions of the mecha genre and mecha design. The Big O and Giant Robo are among my favorite mecha shows. I love the heavyweight designs and how much weaponry is stored into these massive bodies. I think GunBuster might qualify due to its size, but in the shows it only fights in space so you can't really have an impression of its size and weight. Please keep this mechanical design series up!
I will for sure, and keep in mind, these categories are not concrete hard borders, there are for sure times when a mecha which is typically quite fast will slow down, or quite slow will speed up, the ones i featured here simply display the highest average in my mind and act as good examples, Gunbuster for sure has some beef no question, i think in particular the scene where it is rammed between the two Uchuu Kajiu uh "pancake ships" is a good example, or its landing into the front of the Exelion, its got some heavy DNA no question.
Nice video. I def like this distinction for mecha waaaay better than whatever tf real robot is supposed to mean
I never noticed the water shaking in the pool
"Titans of steel..."
(footage is from a parody that features deliberately lame mechas made of rubbish)
But well, yes. Mecha with weight taken into consideration gets into the territory of tech porn. And Giant Robo OVA is pinnacle of this.
Oh, and then there's GR-2. While only having one short scene, this scene is the only actual mecha vs mecha duel (I don't count those times when Giant Robo just punched BF robots once, and they were done) in the series. And what I love about it the most? Rocket punches. The best rocket punches I've ever seen. They only fire after a short but noticeable buildup, and they visibly accelerate in the air. Then there's jet engines making them tremble as they catch Giant Robo.
If only someone did Mazinger justice and animated it the way that would convey "indomitable castle of iron". With ground shaking and cracking with every step, with rocket punches like those of GR-2, and with scrander jets emitting enough light and heat to show just how much energy output it takes to keep the thing afloat.
So far Mazinger animes have only done tiny pieces of that, like meteor impact landings.
THE single heaviest heavy-weight, in my experience, is the Geo Armor Kishin Corps. Just the mech being put into action is a whole sequence.
Why can I instantly recognize the robot jox theme even though I’ve never seen it
because its a damn good theme
Nice to see footage from ROBOT JOX in this. R.I.P., Gary Graham...
Lol yup the happy girl and her dog just out there living their best life 😅
I’ve always been partial to G1 Omega Supreme.
Warhammer 4000k : lets make big mech that someone can see from low orbit, massive weapon that make enemy think this is an propaganda and dont forgot it should shape like church
Yay. Its back!
so hard to find good mecha videos
why the hell do you only have 700 subscribers?
although that could just be because this channel is only a few years old.
Cause algorithm is cruel chaos god :cry:
Ha I think the Head look like toncit Ronin

keep practicing your art is not bad but it takes many years to get a good hang on this stuff. Other then that study real machines, learn how they work and why they are designed as they are, this helps improve designing a great deal.
Argonbolt : thanks for help, and I will do it
People nowadays : Tank is better..
Im still considering eva are still cyborgs
I mean , they really aren't
How they are a living thing if its awared or awakened
@@thescunt1225Anno already confirmed EVA's are meche.
The Mecha genre has a lot of variety...like Sentient Robots (Every Brave Series, Transformers, GoBots/Machine Robo), Organic Mechas (Dunbine, EVA, Escaflowne), even armors and remote controlled mechs like the Tekkaman, Tetsujin 28 and Giant Robo, etc.
biomecha
Did you ever have a chance to play the PS2 game Robot Alchemic Drive?
Nope
Is this a plawres sanshiro reference in the title?
Your analysis is really insightful
No just a "normal" pro-wrestling thing.
@@argonbolt oh, ok. I should get into pro wrestling, considering how influential it is to anime.
I mean evas are just angel mechs
ultrman mechs was the correct answer
