>>56887555Mecha is the logical conclusion of mankind's fetishism of war and honor clashing with our desire for peace. Everyone agrees that warfare is an endless hell that creates nothing but suffering, but also that it's really fucking cool. Mecha as a genre takes that idea and just runs with it by creating massive humanoid weapons which both bring a sense of honor back to combat as pilots are effectively knights in massive suits of armor, while also further dehumanizing them by making warfare about giant robotic humans ripping each other apart limb by limb.
Also I really like shows where mechs can transform or fuse that shit is just cool.
