We need an actual thread for this, judging by the "post an image" thread there are too many people coming here and not actually engaging in any conversations.
A random question I'll use to start it off: what's your favourite robot that's not from Gundam?

Liger Zero is my personal favorite, though its anime isn't even my favorite Zoids series like the better Chaotic Century.

Always liked the Gawain for being the monster machine to beat as well as generally cool aesthetic.

He kind of reminds me of Anubis from ZoE, she has that same thin waist and animal ears.

I gave up trying to make this place work (I made most the threads). It was clear people cared more about a shitty football thing than mecha.

It really is more active, at least the threads get responses.
As for the football thing, it works as a kind of board advertisement.

Can you lonely faggots fuck off? You were told no porn thread and acting like a teenage loser who wants to fuck a toaster in other threads is unacceptable as well.

You have an internet full of porn for losers like you. Leave the robots the fuck alone.

What? What are you talking about?
>You were told no porn thread and acting like a teenage loser who wants to fuck a toaster in other threads is unacceptable as well. 
Can you even speak English? This reads like some Indian kid wrote it.
They're not posting porn, they're talking about cute robots. And nowhere in the OP nor in the sticky does it say porn isn't allowed, so you can't say "you were told no porn". Where did you even get that from?
Ignoring all that, it wouldn't matter even if they were posting porn or talking about lewd topics. Discussing sexy robots has literally always been a thing on /m/. You can go back to the old archives from 2007 when the board was first created and see people posting clang, Jesus there was an entire board for that on mechachan back in 2010. You're either trolling or you're a newfag.

I never liked Big O's mecha designs, honestly. I can't pin down why, I think it might be the tiny heads and weird faces.
Robots with faces in general are a big turn off for me.

Four here. Do we still not have a BO? I think I might've scared our old one off by accident.

In other things, it's a shame that Ryuu Knight and Escaflowne didn't have more influence. Fantasy mechs sound like a potentially fascinating subgenre. But where to go with it next? Esca was Isekai before it got popular.

Not a mech, but I liked Kikaider from seeing the animation one time. I wouldn't mind watching the live action now, wonder if it has subs.

I liked Liger Zero's design. I remember drawing shitty fanart of it that I never finished because I couldn't into mechs.

>Fantasy mechs sound like a potentially fascinating subgenre.
Similar case with the mecha-western setting. Though, as an anon once said, there not being more keeps what few works fit that niche special, and I'd assume similar could be said of fantasy mecha. Anyhow, there's Vanguard Bandits for the PS1 as a tactical RPG if you want more mecha in a medieval fantasy setting as far as games go, but as it was handled by Working Designs out here, I don't trust it to not have a rewrite-tier English script.

Fantasy mechs don't really work because they lack the support around them to be interesting. It fails as a genre time and time again because it's only interesting hook is an ancient civilization built them. Anything else is bland and dragged down by being a fantasy setting which doesn't have any way to compare to mechs. Fantasy is interesting on a human adventure level, mechs ruin that. It's a bit of a push but MS Saga on the PS2 is about as good as a fantasy setting you can have with mechs and it's barely fantasy. The other direction is magic girls who summon robots but that's lame as fuck and you end up with FAG shit for losers.

Hum. Couldn't you have mechs built in the "modern" day with magic? Make them more like piloted golems?
>>599
Because the great old artists moved on, and so did their fans.
>>599
Because Anime shifted from being an underground counter-culture to a mainstream counter-culture like gaming did about a decade ago.

Soon as people who like anime enter adulthood in mass it'll just be another genre on all streaming services with random people talking about it all the time instead of being an "only incels online" thing.

There are subs for the two tokusatsu shows (Kikaider and Kikaider 01). The first is a classic. It inspired things from Megaman up to Zone of The Enders, and many other tokusatsu shows too. The 01 series is more kid-friendly retardness, with some few good episodes here and there.

Regarding what? The anime, or the tokusatsu?

I guess it has to be Blue Comet SPT Layzner designed by Kunio Okawara, it looks so beautiful. BUT I didn't watched the anime I only played SRW J on emulator. It was easily one of the best units in the whole game. Also Blue is my favorite color.

You should watch it, its pretty much Fist of The North Star with mechs.

Are Bionicles mecha?
Kind of, but not really. Mecha is usually about something that is piloted by humans, while Bionicles have mind of their own.

Transformers something something, whatever, it's western.

Hello /mecha/, I am a representative of the "Elect President Biden for 2024" campaign. I have come to your humble site to ask for your support. If you are not aware, President Biden announced during the CNN(TM) presidential debate on 6/26 that he will provide his voters with their own /clang/ girl if elected. Can we count on your support to help his campaign and win this election?
