...and that wouldn't change the fact that it doesn't matter. The common denominator in mech shows is mechs. That's not a generalization, it's a preference. The very concept of a giant fighting robot doesn't interest me.
It becomes a generalization when people think the mechs are the focus of the show. They make up a significant portion of the interest, but they're not the
driving point of what makes a mech show good.
Watch War in the Pocket or Gargantia.
Great, I say I don't like mech and you just assume I'm that guy that hates everything good. Not me though. I don't think I've ever outwardly expressed hate for any particular thing in anime.
Like I said, probably confused you with someone else.
Ooh I can do this too. Half of the people that like mech shows like stuffty anime.
What a loving ridiculous statement.
Comes from personal experience.
WAIT WHAT THERES A SECOND SEASON
It aired back in late 2012 :V
