Watching gundams do physics-defying moves is amusing and awesome at the same time with ridiculous special moves, crazy designs that match the theme of each gundam’s nation, and a final boss gundam that is hard to classify as a mech or a living thing.
#Anime school transformation giant robot series
G Gundam is currently the only Gundam series that follows the super robot formula mixed with traditional shounen anime elements like tournament battles, martial arts, a master-student subplot, and tons of yelling. In truth though, Domon is a quest for revenge and the tournament is just a means of reaching his goal. You follow Domon Kasshu, the Gundam Fight tournament representative of Neo Japan, as he travels the world fighting other nations for the crown. Each nation has a representative mobile fighter and they descend to Earth and do battle, and the last man standing will rule the planet for four years until the next tournament. Wars between nations are typical human nature and will bound to happen, but the colonies representing the nations of Earth have come into an agreement to hold a battle royale tournament every four years using mechs called Mobile Fighters instead. In the Future Century, mankind has ravaged the once-beautiful Earth, and has abandoned the planet to the colonies in space.
We can list a ton of super robot anime, but for this topic, we’re looking at 3 specific shows that are so adrenaline-pumping, burning manliness and so over-the-top that watching them now will bring back the kid in you. Now with that said, let’s go back in the 90s when a lot of older anime fans were still in their childhood or in their early teens, and look at what kind of super robot shows they grew up with. That is not to say the genre is dead, but rather its revival is just delayed in the foreseeable future. Unfortunately super robot anime are no longer as popular back in the 70s to the 90s, and recent attempts to revive the genre with Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann were unsuccessful. Ever seen Pacific Rim or Godzilla? You’ll get the same experience.
Watching a cool-looking giant robot performing flashy super moves to beat the crap out of giant monsters is one of the most gratifying and adrenaline-pumping moments that make you jump out of your seat and cheer for the good guys, just like as you would when watching contact sports like mixed martial arts, boxing, basketball and football. These type of shows are mostly geared towards younger boys, especially in Japan. Super robot anime are good mixes of genres like mecha, giant monsters and superheroes.
