If you're incapable of appreciating anything but a latecomer with little in common with the majority of the genre you did not "get into" the genre. The act of getting into anything means that you in general like or appreciate it enough that you are exploring it and finding other things in it that you like. The term doesn't apply to you subjecting yourself to tons of things that you hate.

>want something with substance
>this makes mechafags seethe
How about having a genre with actually good shows instead of the same episode 50 times? No it doesn't fucking count as a "different episode" if its the same shit that happens but its a different monster

>TTGL
>substance
About as much substance as MHA

>hurr ttgl doesn't have substance but fucking combattler does

I think you probably just like WackyGainax/Trigger and not mecha.

So you're telling me "actual mecha" is indeed 50 episodes of formulaic garbage

mecha genre is so big it literally has its own goddam board. otherwise this place would be gundam spammed whenever a new series came

Name your Mecha, I’ve seen:
Voltes V
Zambot 3
Gundam 0079 (TV + Trilogy)
GoShogun + Time Étranger
Space Warrior Baldios (TV + Movie)
Ideon (TV + Be Invoked)
Xabungle
Macross (TV + Movie)
VOTOMS
Vifam
Dunbine
Giant Gorg
Zeta
Layzner
Double Zeta
CCA
Gundam 0080
Gunbuster
Patlabor OVA (+ Movies + TV)
G Gundam (Dub)
Evangelion (TV + EOE)
Escaflowne (TV + Movie)
Nadesico
Full Metal Panic
Code Geass
TTGL

Pretty much all of these I would say were relatively positive to extremely positive viewing experiences. I have favourites obviously, hell I love Evangelion more than most Mecha, but to say only one example of a vast genre that can be so many different things is better than anything else in said genre you come off as incredibly reductive.

If the genre is so big where are the actually good shows with a story and not just 50 episode filler trash?

Yeah, actually. That's part of the reason why I like a lot of it. It's comfortable junk food. TTGL is pretty different from most mecha in that it changes its setting, scenario, tone, and genre pretty often, all in the name of escalation.

You're not going to get that from most mecha shows.

All I want was just a mecha show where the status quo actually changes, and that's not what the genre is

It's funny seeing people so ruined by 26 episode max series that anything longer is labeled as being mostly filler. The longer lengths allow for more exploration of the setting and character relationships but people shit on anything that doesn't have explicit plot development every episode.

See above. The pace is slower because there are more episodes but that doesn't mean things don't change. There are some where that's true (for instance what I've watched so far of Mazinger) but most of the more popular series may be episodic but still have plots and parts where things change. Even then a show being purely episodic is not a bad thing and you should be able to enjoy episodic shows too or else you're just stuck in a limited view of anime as a whole.

The longer lengths do allow it, but they don't actually do it. You can watch 1 episode of a mecha show and the very last and little to nothing will have actually changed

user, the majority of mecha haven't been 50 episodes for a solid twenty years now.

This is very untrue unless you specifically go out of your way to watch purely episodic series. This isn't true of Gundam (or most of Tomino's series), VOTOMS, Eva (though as someone who doesn't like mecha you may like it), Macross, Eureka 7, etc. Yes, most mecha are in essence episodic in the sense of mech battles every episode but they still do have plots that develop and things that change over the course of the story.

To its determent. A show like Captain Earth would have actually benefited from 25 more episodes.

Personally, I dropped Captain Earth after like five episodes, so I don't think extra time would have helped it for me.

Well, that's because Captain Earth has some inherent problems with its writing. But for those of who like to torture ourselves and commit to every show we watch, it would've made a difference.

Thunderbirds_puppet_laugh.gifposter here, I’ll have you all know I only got into Mecha around mid -2019 and watching all that Mecha I put in that list between then and now was a fucking enlightening experience. God, I love Mecha. And I love you all too mechanons. See you around.

Another pleb filtered.

I made a real mecha thread to get away from this faggot

But there's a board for that? This thread is serving a purpose of being a mecha thread for people who don't like mecha and then discussing why exactly that is.

Nottu thissou shittou againu

because thats super mecha you moron

No, this thread is for one guy to constantly point out how little mecha he's watched and label the entire genre as 50 episode filler-filled shows.

its not serving its purpose then because you mixed up the genres with super mecha and mecha. Mecha relies on mimicing reality some what, super mecha like ttgl rely on breaking reality and do super natural shit.
