It is, and it's weird too. So what's your favorite mecha anime?
Well it feels like an unfair bias towards giant robots being a childish thing sometimes, especially looking at the insane popularity something like Attack on Titan enjoys (which is absolutely a mecha show in disguise, lol).
It's just a love it or hate it genre it seems. I grew up watching too many shows with robots not to be in love with it. Transformers, Go-Bots, Voltron, and Robotech to name a few.
Feels kinda ironic almost how mecha seems to be a genre that a lot of people have an innate dislike towards, but so far 100% of games with mecha I know are actually really damn good. Maybe I just met the wrong people, lol...
The first game was quirky. It's biggest problem was being painfully short and having a bit of an abrupt ending. S fixes a lot of that as well as having an easier and less tropperific (at least as far as Giant Robot stories go) main character, but I did enjoy it.
Ah cool ^^ I'm thinking of picking up the second game and reading a summary of the first game. Heard it's a really good (and on hard difficulty, really awesomely challenging) game. Plus hey, Hideo Kojima =P
Yes, I own both, but I've only managed to play the first one which most fans don't think very highly of. I need to get around to playing the better sequel.
Curious since I know you like Metal Gear a lot, are you familiar with Zone of the Enders?
OMG that's hilarious! I take it you've dived into P5 now?
