    It’s sad to see the proud Sgt. Aguado reduced to flipping burgers. Sure, he didn’t solve the Snowflake case and didn’t realize his Lieutenant was an escaped criminal dressed as a woman, but still…

      If this is supposed to prove a mecha show with no gay stuff, I’m sure I can dig up some fanfic to argue otherwise.

    Gay stuff?

    Shit maybe the reason I don’t much care for mecha anime is because I’ve never seen one that was even a little gay. Er… Unless FLCL counts as a mecha anime. 🤔

        That’s the problem when you find someone too stupid to even understand the analogies used to try and teach them. For someone it’s just the story of “stuff happening to a little girl bringing food to her grandma in the woods”.

    A show about big fighting mechs isn’t complete if the pilots aren’t gay and in love and hate each other and exclusively communicate through monologues of their ideals on the current political climate.

      The human drama is the central focus, the mechs is just changing the set pieces.

      there’s only so many plots.

      For example: It’s a standard workplace love story exploring the ego and id. It’s just that the workplace is an underground base where some dudes are letting teenagers pilot alien hybrid mechs to bring about the end of humanity.

        Mecha are useful in that they combine the “shining armour” and “gallant steed” of classic stories into a single object.

          Look, it’s really simple. Master Chief’s suit has a fleshlight built into it and Cortana can control it. It’s called the autojacker. Read Fall of Reach, it’s all in there.

      The most popular recent one is Brave Bang Bravern.

      Keep in mind Japan has heavy censorship so a lot of the “gay mechas” are implied and subversive theming instead of openly gay.
