    Finally a channel that goes into in-depth, thoughtful discussions of the mecha genre and mecha design. The Big O and Giant Robo are among my favorite mecha shows. I love the heavyweight designs and how much weaponry is stored into these massive bodies. I think GunBuster might qualify due to its size, but in the shows it only fights in space so you can't really have an impression of its size and weight. Please keep this mechanical design series up!

      I will for sure, and keep in mind, these categories are not concrete hard borders, there are for sure times when a mecha which is typically quite fast will slow down, or quite slow will speed up, the ones i featured here simply display the highest average in my mind and act as good examples, Gunbuster for sure has some beef no question, i think in particular the scene where it is rammed between the two Uchuu Kajiu uh "pancake ships" is a good example, or its landing into the front of the Exelion, its got some heavy DNA no question.

    "Titans of steel..."
    (footage is from a parody that features deliberately lame mechas made of rubbish)
    But well, yes. Mecha with weight taken into consideration gets into the territory of tech porn. And Giant Robo OVA is pinnacle of this.
    Oh, and then there's GR-2. While only having one short scene, this scene is the only actual mecha vs mecha duel (I don't count those times when Giant Robo just punched BF robots once, and they were done) in the series. And what I love about it the most? Rocket punches. The best rocket punches I've ever seen. They only fire after a short but noticeable buildup, and they visibly accelerate in the air. Then there's jet engines making them tremble as they catch Giant Robo.
    If only someone did Mazinger justice and animated it the way that would convey "indomitable castle of iron". With ground shaking and cracking with every step, with rocket punches like those of GR-2, and with scrander jets emitting enough light and heat to show just how much energy output it takes to keep the thing afloat.
    So far Mazinger animes have only done tiny pieces of that, like meteor impact landings.

    THE single heaviest heavy-weight, in my experience, is the Geo Armor Kishin Corps. Just the mech being put into action is a whole sequence.

      keep practicing your art is not bad but it takes many years to get a good hang on this stuff. Other then that study real machines, learn how they work and why they are designed as they are, this helps improve designing a great deal.

      ​@@thescunt1225Anno already confirmed EVA's are meche.
      The Mecha genre has a lot of variety...like Sentient Robots (Every Brave Series, Transformers, GoBots/Machine Robo), Organic Mechas (Dunbine, EVA, Escaflowne), even armors and remote controlled mechs like the Tekkaman, Tetsujin 28 and Giant Robo, etc.
