Topic: Mecha Anime This week, Mom is out on Vacation, traveling the world as usual. So we Invited my Little Brother to join us. When asked what he wanted to learn about, Mecha Anime was what he said. So here we go. A primer on Mecha Anime! Tutorial: Mecha Anime: Any anime/manga/media where robots exist within a show, and are important to the story being told. Robot = Mech/Mecha Two Major Sub-Categories: Super/Giant Robo/Robot Real Robot History: 70s – Rise of Super/Giant Robot Series Mecha shows easier to handle because you don’t need to draw faces. Easier to produce in 70s. Shows largely not about war/conflicts between humans. Mazinger Z (1972) Dr Hell and Dr. Kabuto find ancient robots buried underground. Hell decides to use the robots to control the world, while Dr. Kabuto escapes and builds Mazinger Z before being killed by “half Man, Half woman” Baron Ashura. Robot is passed on his grandson Kouji Kabuto, who fights against Doctor Hell. Spin Offs Great Mazinger (1974) UFO Robot Grendizer (1977) Mazinkaiser (2002) Getter Robo (1974) Three jets become one Super Robo, but can reconfigure in to three different modes Daikū Maryū Gaiking (1976) Dinosaur like base ship where the head takes off and transforms in to Super Robo Gaiking Super/Giant Robot Series Robots are unique, one of kind, un-replaceable Fantastical/Squishy in tech/creation Heroic in Nature Stories are usually involve the Robots more as a major element of the show than a tool Magical/Mystical/Extraterrestrial/Super Science in Nature Lend themselves to Monster of the Week / non-serialized Became stagnant toward end of 80s Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) Also known as (Gundam 0079) During the Universal Century, Human have created colonies in space, but there is unease as spacenoids feel that the Earth Federation won’t allow equal representation, thus Spacenoid rally around the Principality of Zeon and declare their freedom from Earth Federation, starting the “One Year War”. Zeon has mobile suits, which are a ‘HUGE’ tactical advantage. Earth Federation Create the White Base and goes to pick up the new RX-78 Gundam, but Zeon is in tow and attacks the colony, killing most civilians and Federation crew. Amuro Ray becomes pilot for Gundam and the White Base launches out to defend against Zeon on their way home to Earth. Gundam = White Devil V-fin helmet Samurai look/motif Recurring themes Start in space, head to Earth, return to space to end Space Mobile Suits = 1 eye/ mono eye Earth/Federation Mobile Suits = glass visor for eyes Major Base to launch From, usually white in color Char Aznable – Villain, recurring theme of villain in Mask Initially not popular, canceled at 39 of 45 episodes. Rebroadcast as trilogy of movies in 1983 Gunpla = Gundam Model Kits Spin offs: Universal Century Zeta (1985) ZZ (1986) 0083(1991) Victory (1993) 08 MS Team (1996) Unicorn (2010) Thunderbolt (2015) Unique Series/Era/Centuries G Gundam (1994) Gundam Wing (1995) Gundam X (1996) Turn-a-Gundam (1999) Gundam Seed (2002) Gundam 00 (2007) Gundam Age (2011) Gundam IBO (2015) Real Robot Series Mecha are realist/conventional in nature, albeit with unique power sources/futuristic weapons Tend to be government/organization led Possible to Replace within reason/mass produced Tools of the universe Often stories about War or major conflicts Lend themselves toward long, serialized shows Super Sentai (1975) Known in the west as Power Rangers Basically Live Action Super Robo Series 80s – Rise of Real Robots Real Robot Series become mainstream as audiences begin to get tired of Formulaic Super Robot series. Many young adults were looking for more mature/serious mecha anime, allowing for Real Robot genre to take over. The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982) Many Spin Offs Armored Troopers Votoms (1983) Volton (1984) US TV show incorporating footage of Golion and Dairugger Transformers (1984) Lots of Spin Offs Bubblegum Crisis (1987) Largely Females in Exo-skeleton Suits Patlabor (1988) Mecha Cops Gunbuster (1988) From Makers of Evangelion 90 – Mecha Revolution Real Robot / Gundam make big push in 90s, but lots of mech shows still show competition. Lots of themes / traditions come out of 90s that are still seen largely today. Very experimental. Brave Series (1990s) King of Braves GaoGaiGar (1997) Tekkaman Blade (1992) In the West as Technoman Magic Knight Rayearth (1994) Magical Girl / Super Robot Series Evangelion (1995) Mix of Real/Super Series Largely a deconstruction of Mecha Series Lots of largely psychological topics Genre Defining! Martian Successor Nadesico (1996) Vision of Escaflowne (1996) Lots of Female fans Largely Fantasy The Big O (1999) 2000s – Mecha Renaissance With introduction Digital Art/Inking, Anime become less expensive to produce, allowing more varied series to become introduced. Varying art styles allow more trial and expressiveness. Great Shows, Great stories, great characters Sakura Wars (2000) VanDread (2000) RahXephon (2002) Similar to Eva in themes Diebuster (2004) Sequel to Gunbuster Aquarion (2005) Eureka Seven (2005) Skateboarding/snowboarding in the Sky Mecha Code Geass (2006) Mechs are only about 15-18 feet tall Largely move around on wheels Fun Mix of Mystical elements and Real Robot series Great cast/show One of the Greatest non-Gundam Real Robot series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (2007) From makers of Evangelion Very silly Creators would split to become Studio Trigger One of the Greatest modern Super Robot 2010 – Decline of Mecha Mecha Shows are more difficult to get going, with lots of shows almost never finding an audience. Landscape of Anime may have changed; seasonal anime dominates, where mecha tends to like longer /epic running series. Also, many shows about conflicts aren’t as popular because we(Sic:Japan) aren’t really seeing or being influenced by war. Mecha using more CG(Computer Graphics) to make mecha in shows, but don’t look good in an animated/2D Landscape. Star Driver (2010) Light Hearted, Fun Super Robot Aldnoah.Zero (2014) Good first season, ultimately disappointing Robot Girls Z (2014) Parody on Mazinger Z and various spinoffs Captain Earth (2014) Darling in the Franxx (2018) Interesting beginning, ultimately Disappointing Review Material Gundam Unicorn 0096 (Either on Crunchyroll or Netflix) Star Driver (Crunchyroll)

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. I find that hard to believe, since this anime has no spoken words, and only a handful of ones written. But perhaps it's what is not said that gives this anime if flavor...and flavor is important in soup. See what I did there? As you may have seen advertised on twitter, this is in fact my birthday, and there's no better way of celebrating the occasion then watching an anime that is not only creepy, but perplexing.

Fighting Fairy Girl Rescue Me: Mave-Chan, Bandai, $9.98, 25 minutes. Director: Takeshi Mori (Stratos 4, Vandread, Gunsmith Cats, Otaku No Video) Rei Sugiyama wins a ticket to a Yukikaze/Stratos 4 convention. He's grown up in a small town and he's never been away on his own before so his parents are very reluctant to let him go to the big city. While Rei is being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of people at the convention, he goes through a doorway that leads to another world. He finds himself in a desert where the jets of the anime Yukikaze have taken the form of five cute young girls and women. There's the ditz fighter Mave, the big boobed Super Sylph, the mother hen Sylphide, and the always disrespected duo of One-chan and Two-chan. They are fighting against a super-sized villain named Forgettor. The world that Rei has entered into is the world of the imagination created by the love of the show's fans. But Mave and the other girls exist only as long as the fans interest is not diverted to other anime shows. This lack of attention is embodied in the Demon of the Oblivion, the monstrous Forgettor! If you're not familiar with the anime series Yukikaze or Stratos 4 you might be missing the boat by buying this very brief, almost inconsequential one episode dvd. If you don't know, Yukikaze was about an inter-dimensional gate that opened at the South Pole. Groups of highly advanced fighter craft were sent through the gate to battle aliens. I have watched all of the Stratos 4 series, but have only viewed the first volume of Yukikaze. Even if you are a huge fan of those two shows, there's nothing really here to write home about. While the animation is done quite well, there is not enough time to do anything with the characters and the cheezy storyline is so bad that its really not even worth mentioning. This dvd seems like an overlong promo clip to be shown at conventions to slavering otaku fans who would love any cute girl in military fatigues. For a regular fan of anime, it's simply a waste of money. This should be sold with Freedom Volume 1 as a double rip-off special. Ok, actually this one episode of Mave-chan was Oscar-caliber compared to the HD-DVD release of Freedom Volume 1. At least we're not being charged 40$! My Grade: D-
