No doubt some know that I'm a huge mecha fan and I'd even admit to being something of a mecha fanboy. It's the anime genre I grew up with the most and the kind I still find myself most in my comfort zone when viewing, but that doesn't seem to be the case for many. I'd argue from reading comments and posts in mecha series threads over the last 6-8 years that its still one of the most misunderstood and most frequently criticised genres around and that people seem to view mecha shows as nothing more than cynical soulless toy commercials.

However perhaps this is merely the result of the cryptic thought processes and reasons behind peoples reaction to mecha shows on this forum and elsewhere. Thats why i thought is create this thread to discuss views on mecha shows in this forum and try to get to the bottom of the matter for good. I'll be back later to fill in my views, but for now people can have the floor.
