Why does the West hate mecha again? It is criminal that for Hollywood it all boils down to Transformers. Imagine the sheer war drama potential...

For me, it's Robot Jox.

Walking machines that look like animals are some of the coolest things imaginable. Walking machines that look like a person (particularly for no plausible reason) is the gayest fucking queerest fruitiest shit I've ever seen. Absolutely radioactively gay. I understand things look different to a Japanese person so I don't think they are gay for liking it but, not one molecule of the West can be occupied by this design without releasing lethal gayness

>>212546976
This looks cool because even though it's bipedal and has arms, it's plausibly for practical controllability reasons and it doesn't have like a dick and skinny ankles and a faggotory pose like OPshit

Think of it the way Japs see it. A mecha originally was just a giant automated Japanese Armor. They even looked like Samurai. So think of mecha like giant armored Knights.

>dick and skinny ankles
going by the he design I think they transform into jets but I could be wrong

Anyway if I want me ha I just rewatch Eureka 7 it's the FMAB of mecha in my opinion

Pacific Rim was kino

>>212547978
This looks awful

>>212547902
>hating on TSFs
come on man, those are actually build around realism, there is much worse out there

Is that franchise dead? Everyone I know liked the first one.

honestly it's a bit silly and childish

the only viable mecha IRL would be EVA units and Macross Jets

it's for jumping, they are build for ground combat

No, I know that's how they see it. It's not possible for a Westerner who is not forcing it as a weebo, to adopt this view. It's like those 'now you see me movies'. Any Westerner is like "what is the point of magic illusions within a fucking movie where we know it's fiction?" but somehow Indians suspend disbelief a different way.

Is this supposed to look different? It's clearly still intended to look like a person. As long as that's there it's a no go.

>the first one
there is only one pacific rim movie
>but, uprisi…
There is only one!

>>212548382
the mechs from Blue Gender might be more up your ally, the closest to a realistic one I have come across in media

Power Rangers poisoned the well.

>>212548433
that looks like a serious machine, until you see it still has a silly little face with a moustache like its robotnic. they just can't not do it

>>212548119
The first movie was absolutely kino but the sequel was awful Chinapandering. There was also a Netflix show, and the fact it was a NETFLIX show should tell you exactly how shit that was.

Going for realistic? Mechwarrior or VOTOMS :3

West was all about Robots, Japan was all about Giant robots.
