how to save the mecha genre: Just make "that time I got reincarnated as a mecha" and everything is good
There was a Isekai show with mechas with the name "Knights and Magic"
Isn't that just Darling in the Franxx?
that actually happened
They did that its called Knight's & Magic...
It's actually called "Knight's and magic" and it already exist.
10 years later: The Fall of Isekai
At least in that case, instead of being a sad thing, it can't come soon enough.
I wish
it happens now
@The Omnipotent God Of Isekai stop throwing trucks to japanese people!!!!!
I can't wait for this to happen so that they can make good fantasy anime again
Rjay Candelario hey, they make an average of 2-3 good Isekai Anime every year, ok? It’s not that bad...kinda
"Mecha is dead"
Japan: *puts up their 3rd life sized Gundam statue*
And this time it moves!
yea
He is saying most mecha is rely on old existing fans AKA gundams fan.
Establishing expensive gundam statue by old gundam fans who have money is not contradictory to
"mecha is dead" .
It is saying that the genre lack of new blood or ways to renew it's community.
@@fullmetalhelepolis5254 yeah i love mecha as any hardcore mecha fan,
But I don't live in my tiny bubble, there are barely any new mecha shows coming out.
So it doesn't matter how successful Gundam is, IF IT IS THE ONLY MECHA TO MAKE BIG WAVES in the overal anime community.
Also who the hell said mecha is dead, the video clearly says the fall of mecha.
And Getter Arc is comning.
I got really pissed that Gurren Lagann wasn’t on the best of 2010’s list then I looked it up and realized it’s from 2007 and my body rapidly aged and my bones crumbled to dust.
@Dr.Ramilo Indiana jones is a jojo reference so it is indirectly a jojo's reference
Lion Barrells of Iron - that was 2014
From 1990s to 2000s, are pretty much the best era of Mecha series.
When it comes to 2010s, most of Mecha series have so much downside for it. Example: Stories, Battles, Less episodes, less character development. Too much rushed battle scenes....
TTGL was ahead of it's time. I didn't believe it's 2007 at first... The animation, music, artstyle, everything felt like it's made recently lol
@@gatomeong the animation they used feels like tribute to older anime
“The Fall of Mecha”
Giant robots falling
Titanfall intensifies
"Stand by for Titanfall"
That's what the genre needs, you cracked it. Titanfall: the anime
Titanfall is essentially Neon Genesis Evangelion lel...
Titan fall anime would be so good.

2000: Robots are still cool
2010: Robots are cool?
2018: Robots are fuckable
Aahh culture at it's finest
Or "2018:robots are hot"
We will all become robosexuals. LOL
Bro what? Even then, robots were always fuckable. I'm looking at you, Aigis, Jenny, and KOS-MOS.
Nah bro, Robots should be transported to another world!
(if anyone makes a mecha isekai i will leave anime and take up kpop istg Japan)
Here's an idea to save mecha :
That Time I got reincarnated as a giant Robot Destined to kill the demon king
will watch
Genius!
500 IQ moment right here
Sorry to dissapoint but there is already series where mc got reincarnated to the world of mechas, and it was kinda shit show.
Have you fools not seen that time i got reincarnated as a vending machine? No? cuz you have shit taste
*[The Cruel Angel’s Thesis Intensifies]*
Angle is breakdancing in behind with jesus
Evangelion was such a thorough deconstruction of the genre that nobody has managed to reconstruct it yet.
Evangelion is closer to an Ultraman show than a Mecha show
*GET IN THE ROBOT, SHINJI*
Yes
"The only way I can see this series working if it goes down the gundam route"
Me: drops a colony and starts war with earth sphere
If that's what it takes to kickstart the genre, I will do what I must.
*THAT'S THE ONLY WAY*
Sieg Zeon!!
"Because as a mecha fan, all you can really do right now is look to the past"
>currently rewatching 00
Holy shit he's right bois. Sad mecha fan times.
Lol me too, right now i'm rewatching 00 and IBO
Wouldn't be surprised if the GundamInfo channel privates 00 again around early 2020
I rewatch 00 at least once or twice a year
If an anime doesn't have waifu that can be fuck, it's bad

I don't think that you can have Code Geass feel like Code Geass without Lelouch and his ever-iconic lines being used as the templates for memes everywhere on the internet
the code geass spinoff OVAs were arguably better developed and more interesting than the OG Code Geass series. Give them a try if you haven't already
@@goddepersonno3782 i don't think so. They weren't bad, but OG code geass was in my opinion much better. But you can think what you want, im not saying OG Code Geass was flawless, in fact i think that lelouch was bassicaly the main selling point of the series and everything else was not as good as people say, but the OVA are not anything extra, and animation is the only thing that's better than OG Code Geass
@@reneklaczak9566 the characters are well developed and most of them have motivations. Some of them are even complex and nuanced. Whereas with Code Geass it felt like the characters conformed to the plot, with the OVAs it felt like the plot evolved to support the themes and characters.
I think the problem is both have such completely different selling points. Code Geass is all about this complex plot with twists and turns as well as interesting strategy. Meanwhile the OVA series is more of a character driven story. I will always prefer that over an outstanding plot because in if you don't have good characters you can't really get invested in what happens in the story, so all the twists, turns, and strategies are greatly reduced because of this.
However I am not the main audience of Code Geass, so the majority of die hard fans who would actually bother to watch OVAs wouldn't like it.

"Gundam: Space Africa" what does it say about Gundam titles that I believe that for a solid second before gigguk said iron blooded orphans?
Im assuming you haven't seen iron blooded orphans soooo... The reason he said space africa... Ya know how africa has a bunch of child laborers... Thats basiclly the premise of iron blooded orphans
I fucking loved it, so glad it's on UK Netflix now

michael bay killed mecha
@@alveolate hell no. Even tho Michael Bay destroyed transformers he did make people became a fan of robots and mecha
smh Power Rangers morph not transform.
Iron Blooded Orphans was great, especially for someone who has never watched Gundam before. First season is just fantastic. Made me feel sick when Tekkadan was charging across the bridge and getting slaughtered. Even tho they were no-names, their deaths were pretty brutal + being child soldiers made it really gut-wrenching. It hits even harder when you see Shino get demolished by Graze Ein(even tho he ended up living). "The Shoals" and "Funeral Rites" were also a fantastic pair of episodes to end the first half of that season.
I think IBO really appeals to western scifi lovers. It's more grounded than other Gundam series in terms of combat and the setting should feel very familiar to any BattleTech/MechWarrior fans. Or if you watch/read The Expanse.
This pretty much screwed Gigguk's reputation to the long-time Mecha fandom.

It's an Isekai joke, practically there was one popular Isekai in which the protagonist got rolled over by a truck to end the show. It was a shock and an unprecedented approach. And that started a bit of a trend, getting Isekai protagonists killed, bonus points for getting them rolled over by a truck. Over time that became a bit of an inside joke about Isekai.
In this context, it means everyone started making Isekai anime.

I disagree with the Iron Blooded Orphans part. It was different from your average Gundam show and more hardcore in a sense. I would always recommend people to watch it regardless of if you're a mecha/Gundam fan or not.
IBO is great, but i think it depends on the type of person, seed is probably the most sure fire way to bring new people, as it was the series that basically revived the franchise from the dead, but instead of either, i would actually point towards thunderbolt(S1). its beyond solid, its incredibly short(making it easy to recomend to people without the commitment) but best of all, it is a great looker, with great soundtrack and characters.
after that, like i said, it depends on the person, IBO, SEED, 00 and Zeta are probably the best for begginers(with zeta being really old as a caveat).
@@marcosdheleno Zeta is definitely not something you'd recommend to beginners though since it's a sequel to the original.
@@AssaultRider555 yes and no, yeah its a sequel, but its also standalone enough to not require knowledge to understand.
zeta was develop like that on purpose. if you have watched, or know, the original gundam it only enhances the series, but its definitely NOT mandatory.
i would even go as far as to say, its more begginer friendly than the original.
@@marcosdheleno ehhh, I feel as though watching the original MSG is mandatory, honestly.
@@AssaultRider555 no, it REALLY isnt. alot of people make the mistake of saying "start at the original". dont get me wrong, i love the original, but its NOT begginer friendly, even IF alot of people did start there. from the original big 3, only ZZ requires watching the ealier series, zeta is set 5 years after the original for a reason.
the original series did not age well, hell, even when it came out it failed HARD because of how cheaply it was made. and back then, it wasnt that lower than most other mech animes. nowadays? even the original getter aged better.
As expected from the dude who only watched Gurren Lagann and Evangelion and claims he understands mecha
He following Gurrenn Lagann too?
I'm disappointed by the fact that 'Planet With' wasn't even mentioned.

I´m not a life long Gundam fan, as a matter of fact, I haven't watched the "original" timeline series, but I have watched 00, Tekketsu no Orphans, and Seed/Destiny. All of those are self-contained stories and very good by themselves because they still are able to communicate the main message of Gundam: basically, war sucks and there is no evil and good side.

Mecha didn't fall, wish-fulfillment trash just rose, to the point where pretty much ALL anime nowadays is just wish-fulfillment trash. Sure, you can make mecha wish-fulfillment trash, which is why that anime that serve as this video's thumbnail was successful, but isekai just personifies wish-fulfillment trash so that's what you get.
Wonder when will wish fulfillment trash fall
When you say wish fulfillment trash, I think your just referring to power fantasy.
What is wish fulfillment
What are you talking about, mecha's lack of popularity has fallen before power fantasy really rose with the Isekai boom. The CGCDT boom, the battle Shounen boom, and even the slice-of-life drama boom have happened and mecha was nowhere to be seen.
I'm not a fan of Isekai either, but I'm not gonna say mecha hasn't lost popularity due to it.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is my wish fulfillment.

@@refineries147 Birds and flies have to land to rest at some point before they takeoff again. And to land, you essentially do a controlled fall.
Darling in the franxx was such a great anime untill ep 20 i mean it was like a School project that was going so great and you have so many plans (episode 18) but then you realize that there’s a max word cap (episode 19) so you skip a lot to make it shorter (episode 20)
It needed a few more seasons to build it up more. The space section couldve been expanded into exploring more planets instead of just a large space battle out of no where and thats it
That actually makes sense
To sum it up Darling in the Franxx is the anime version of Game of Thrones, started pretty good only to get butchered at the end.

The 2010s were kind to mechas in terms of quality, though not quantity. And I'm okay with that.
ChronoBear It was kind to longtime fans. It’s been more inaccessible than ever to people who are interested in getting into it though.
@@CarronBarboza True, modern anime fans want 5 mediocre Isekai shows per season and that's what sells. There were some fantastic non-mecha shows this decade but they were seldom runaway hits. Standards of Western anime fans have plummeted with its rise in popularity.
If mecha becomes the Film Noir of anime, a genre of high quality that doesn't produce many new entries, that's okay.

It's so sad because a sequel should have been great and could have seen all the different couples and their kids in new conflicts together.

I agree with you on that point. Still a masterpiece of a movie though.
I'd like to see something akin to Titanfall 2... where the mecha has it's own personality and character, like BT did with the Cooper. Could allow the story to touch on more modern themes like the role of AI in society and human/digital relationships. Just my 2 cents
Suisei no Gargantia, the anime Titanfall 2 writers admitted they cribbed from, is for you fren. Also a lot of the Brave/Yuusha series, despite being Transformers-y, has really fun and comfy robot characters.

LOL THIS AGED HORRIBILY
Savior of mecha genre has come: Muv luv alternative and Getter Robo Arc
tbh i am too afraid of Muv-Luv flopping I almost hope they cancel the adaptation.
The “ok boomer” in here activated my google home
uhh
Ok Boomer
it's official then google thinks it's a boomer
tbh Google has boomer energy, but it was made in 1998 so its millennial
Its watching you...
Only one thing is clear truck drivers are in demand this 2019
Hope they get paid well
I wonder what will happen when we get automated truck-kuns?
@@KATTLAN. automatic isekai
Hes called Truck-kun or Truck-sama
Optimas prime saving mecha one isekai at a time
I gave mecha anime a try by watching the best of the best. I started watching Gundam. I first watched the 2015 Gundam The Origins, given that it's 2015 the animation is really good and the story is amazing. After finishing the OVA, I watched the movie version of the 1979 original, although the animation is dated, the story still holds up and I really enjoyed it. My gripe with the original is the dialogue, sometimes they speak so fast that the conversation doesn't flow naturally, but overall the politics and story are good. And now I'm watching the 1999 anime called The 8th MS Team which takes place on Earth in the Southeast Asia region. This takes place at the same time as the original but the focus is on a different set of characters, and so far it's really good. Gundam is really more than just giant mechas. The heart and soul of Gundam are the politics and the tragedies of war. Gundam is really suited to an older audience.
Have you watched G-Witch?
Came back to this video after finishing 86. I love Aldnoah but S2 f*cked up an amazing ending S2 set up. Gundam 00 remains my top 5 anime of all time. Code Geass, Gurren Lagan, and Wings were and still are awesome shows. In short, I too lived my childhood with tonnes of mecha anime.
Now with 86 confirmed to have S2, I hope it will be carrying the banner of mecha for the next decade and revive this classic genre against the odds of truck drivers and isekai shitshows...
86 Will save this genre.
Guess the artist of the thumbnail couldn’t decide who’s best girl between Ichigo and Zero Two and decided to draw Ichigo Two
goro is best girl anyways
Its zero two but with the expression of ichigo
Clearly Ichigo *is* best girl.
That why zero two looked off
it's like wanting Rem as best girl but Google be like "who's Rem? I want Ram!!!"
How about:
That time i got reincarnated as a giant mecha
That's bound to sell
Knight and Magic is kind of like that.
don't give sunrise any more gundam ideas!!!!
@@liesureleeminis8268 goddamn? Gundam?
Or
That time I got reincarnated as Truck kun smashing protagonist in another world.
Not gonna lie I’d watch the shit out of a dude resurrected as a giant mecha trying to figure out what the FUCK just happened to him
86 Eighty-Six will revive the Mecha Genre for 2020s
Either it or Dynazenon. This is year packed for mecha shows.
Maybe add back arrow and getter arc to the list
likely not. Mecha still largely needs kits that can be sold, and the only ones we saw are spiders which make terrible model kits due to weak joints. It's a series that will probably sell more waifus than robots.
G-Wich: *Rises from the ashes and then immediately dissolves into stardust instead of replacing the UC as the mainline Gundam timeline*
New ufo grendizer anime :-
Replace UC? Not a chance buddy.
Mecha needs to reinvent itself into something more relevent
Just hit it with a truck and isekai it
Dude they already did.......Knights & Magic........ And it is bad
What he said
Mecha pratically INVENTED Isekai....its called Aura Battler Dunbine
Thats what Build Diver Re:Rise is trying to do. Well without a truck..yet.
Magic Knight Rayearth did it in like '94
Knight's and magic: Am I a joke to you?
Everyone: Well actually yes
10:50 where's that clip from?
Everyone else: Oh, we thought it was isekai power fantasy.......with a side of mecha.
Listen the manga had better pacing and the anime got cucked by the same force that hit all decent isekai as they got an anime adaptation
In that show you could feel the love of the main character for technology in general and especially for mechs.
He achieved every victory because he was dedicated to become as good as possible. Also he never forgot his friends.
I hated that show. Awesome mecha designs wasted on a boring, generic isekai premise.
Sokyuu no fafner is another mecha anime which is ongoing but no one seems to talk about. It was released in 2003. prequel in 2007 , a movie in 2010, 2nd season in 2015 and 3rd season is still ongoing. The 2nd season is really good- good animation and full of suffering
"My mecha can't be this cute"
Wait how about *"THAT TIME I WAS REINCARNATED INTO A MECH"* just a thought
Already commented
Isnt that just basically Warhammer 40K Spacemarine Mechs then?
So....Knights & Magic?
@@SangerZonvolt "That time the Emperor needed me once more as a Dreadnought"
@@scorpixel1866 and the most interesting spin-off: *when the Chaos gods corrupted my very essence and i became a hellbrute*
The fall of mecha is making “mecha” a genre. Mecha is best as a vehicle to tell a story as opposed to just being the story.
All of the defining mecha series were about something other than the robots.
Gundam's really just war stories with robots, and Patlabor is a police procedural/slice of life with robots
There's truth in that, but at the same time, you have to find story concepts that work better using mechs as a plot device than something else. This does naturally set up genre conventions as you need to do things to maintain verisimilitude and ask yourself things like "could I tell this story better using magic instead of mecha?"
The problem is more that mecha, as a genre has moved from being like action and fantasy genres and become more like the ecchi genre.
Yeah so what's wrong with modern Mecha? They're far removed from even mentioning how important the Mecha is. Gundam is full of instances where it emphasized the importance of the machine
Gurren Lagann is my top pick for that kind of story. They used mechas as a chrysalis for the characters' development (namely Simon), and it was fucking BADASS.
Yea mecha literally goes with everything, we had mecha romance, high school, western, idols, sports, virtual reality, magic, horror etc., anything can happen.
TBF there aren't that much animators that can draw machines real good
And actually, I think mecha video games (ex. armored core) might be the only way?
Love how you put ichigo's crying face on Zero Two's body in the thumbnail. Really fits
"and then everyone in japan became truck drivers."
very original comment yes
You know what I want an iska were the main character dies in a mass shooting. I mean if he has to die put some creatively into it.
@@darkpainter2591 well there are other isekai where truck-kun wasn't there and the mc got isekaid by other ways (i.e. plain ol magic, stabby stab stab, sleeping then waking up in another world, etc) they are getting creative from time to time, it's just the trope that makes truck-kun appear
I tend to call "Attack on Titan" a meat mecha anime. So I would say that AoT is the big mecha anime of the 2010s
well, titans are basically Evangelions without the AT Fields and cybernetic bits, so you've got a point there.
@@dogwhimper1929
no
Andrew Keck thats your opinion and actually alot of people enjoy it.
Its got a rating of 9.1 out 10
I started liking it more when I realized it was actually a Mecha in disguise. It’s still not as good as its popularity merits, the characters are pretty unlikeable and make very random decisions, the writing is quantifiably on the poor side and the generic titans are pretty embarrassing design-wise, but, for what it’s worth, it does have a very unique/interesting plot and strong visuals. It also really seemed to get way better in season 2 when characters got *way* less abrasive and stopped yelling at each other constantly for no reason or just generally being dickish. I chalk the overwhelming popularity up to that line in Jurassic Park “look at all the blood!” People are fascinated with the edginess of it, strung along by the inherent mystery in the plot and mistake that for “good, mature writing” meanwhile it has a near total lack of fanservice so people don’t get insecure and squeamish. It’s a decent show, but much closer to a 6 than a 9.
I looked at this video and looked at the news about the new Nu Gundam statue being erected and think to myself, "What the fuck Gigguk?"
Yeah, it's not like the video is from 2019
@@AniDiveReverse still a shitty take nevertheless

Gigguk, don't worry about Anime in 2019, everyone needs a break. I'm sure we all can understand that. Rest well and don't forget that we love you and your videos!!! ☃️
you mean 2020?
I think it's high time for the Brave Series to make a come back
Everybody gangsta until truck kun finally reveal his true form
Why did i just mention optimus prime
Yet Gundam is still more profitable than even Dragon Ball...
its all because hardcore gunpla fans spending entire salaries on model kits and accessories
@Black Chandelier Mirage Still doesn't change the fact that Gundam is the 15th most profitable franchise in the world right now.
@Black Chandelier Mirage Of course it's popular in Japan, but my comment was aimed more towards this video rather than making a statement over where something is successful.
Also, when a Gundam series is released in the West, it does amazing.
This comment just made me imagine a Gundam Battle Assault revival by Arc System Works.
Any takers?
@Waifu Kun gundam has found its prefered gameplay style in the form of the vs series(which, pretty much made the arena fighter sub genre that xenoverse and games of the like used) as well as the tactics with sd gundam and giren's greed(which hopefully have the next ones comeout in the west).
all it needs is a good fps/tps. let arc sys develop for other franchises which may make better use like a true high quality jump fighter.
the story of post-2000s mecha is literally just...
*Komm Sußer Todd*

There is (no) new Mecha anime
Star Driver was my favorite of the last decade. I stayed up all night for the finale and watched it live understanding through sheer emotion.
