Sentient robots dont count as Mecha right?

But if so, Optimus would be more iconic, or at least more widely known,

god ginrai was kind of a mech

Eva01 isn't a mech.

for all intents and purposes it is.

who?

I'm a huge eva fan and even I knew this was the true answer - OP is a fucking idiot.

The absolute state of Evafags

その逃走と戦いの中で、陰謀の闇を突きとめ、やがては自身の出生に関わる更なる謎の核心に迫っていく。

it's funny because that's the same evafags do when comparing it with modern shows i.e. Franxx

If anything, EVA01 is either a semipilotable kaiju or a giantess with a mindcontroling womb-cockpit. EVAs require sacrificing humans to be made, can bleed, are basically pseudo-religious avatars of mankind that can't live long without fuckhuge amounts of manpower, and most importantly are not MECHAnical. They aren't entirely man made, can't be debugged, can't live forever, and aren't servicable by ordinary mechanics.


Gundam is definitely more widely recognized outside of the anime community than EVA01. Gunpla used to be sold at Toys-R-Us.

In America, as far as anime goes, sure. As far as any cartoon goes, is right.
In Nipland, is the one true answer.

Optimus Prime

Everytime i see G1 Optimus, you can clearly see the Gundam influence.

Remove the truck tires and the Autobot logo and he would fit right in.

Asuka Langley Soryu falls in love with Shinji Ikari.

Unable to confess, she is gifted with by a deus ex machina with Shinji's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, she immediately calls him, and is overjoyed to find out that he has a crush on her as well.

But, the next day, when she recounts the previous day's confessions to Shinji, he only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, she finds out that the boy he called is not the same boy he fell in love with. In fact, he doesn't exist in this universe at all. He is Shinji's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with Asuka's own AU self, Asuka Shikinami Langley, who is perfectly aware of his crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, THIRD IMPACT ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the KIMOCHI WARUI.

Threadly reminder that it has been made into a wiki, a fanfic, a fictionpress story, a manga, a meme, a TV tropes entry, an anime preview, an anime episode, an honest-to-goodness anime movie that's Oscar considered, and a critically acclaimed box office success that's the highest grossing anime film of all time and approved by Shinzo Abe and Cool Japan, so stop talking about it.

Eh.

Unit 01 is instantly recognizable as "the purple Eva" to anyone who has a passing knowledge that NGE exists.

As a non-gundam watcher, I couldn't tell you the first thing about that mech. I don't know which gundam show it's from (there's a billion of them). If it wasn't for the filename I couldn't even have said for certain that it was a gundam at all.

I fucking love EVa but even people who don't watch Gundum should know that the RX-78 is the most iconic.

Maybe now he'll write something tragic for 4.0

you do know biomechs are a thing right?

>can't live forever
But they can. The whole reason Yui merged with unit 01 was to become an immortal marker to humanity's existence.

I predict more cat behaviors

God damn it all you're probably not even going to be wrong. It'll just be another reason to not watch 4.0 unless they kill her off, too.
