Never really thought about it. Guess I’d be more inclined to call it science fantasy. That is, unless some show gives me a plausible scientific reason why its giant robots are shaped like humans or other animals.

Question for Baka Raptor: What’s your complete opinion on mecha/giant robots? Do you consider mecha/giant robots more science fantasy than science fiction?

“I speculate that robot shows would all be better if they’d take away the robots and give everyone lightsabers instead.”

Fixed.

That’s why Getter Robo is the best mecha series ever

Getter Robo is exactly the kind of title that gets a 1-4-6 rejection. Now, if they named it something like, "From deep within the Earth's surface, the Dinosaur Kingdom make their move to wipe out mankind and conquer the planet with their mechanical dinosaurs," I might've seen it five times by now.

Bullshit. How’s Ryoma Nagare supposed to leap fifty feet out of a sword and shove his semiautomatic in somebody’s face while babbling endlessly about revenge? Power lines? You’d need a damned robust power grid for that shit.

Technically, I’m an ex-engineer dinosaur, but you know what’s really hot? Honesty.

Now you’ll get an opinion from someone who doesn’t fetishize robots. That’s not to say I hate robots; I just think they’re a waste of time.

This statement pretty much sums up my feelings toward mecha. I’ll watch a few shows if I’m pushed into watching them (Gundam 00, Full Metal Panic, Code Geass). Of all the mecha that I’ve watched, I usually find that I like them, but I still almost never feel inspired to watch any mecha. Reading a positive review here constitutes as being pushed into watching a show, so I guess I’ll have to finally watch this.

That song kicked ass.

An engineer dinosaur? That’s kind of hot.
