Filling in the Blanks of An Abbreviated History of Mecha

As I worked on An Abbreviated History, it dawned on me that using a broad definition of mecha makes this a rather intense project. The more I went on, the more I thought "What about Gaiking/Hades Project Zeorymer/Gravion/Genesis of Aquarion," or "Maybe I should list Dragon Ball as an honorary mecha show," or "Would Dragon Ball technically BE a mecha show," or "Should I have mentioned Panzer World Galient?" You get the idea. It's also not helped by the fact that I have not watched most of these shows, so the most I can give of a description is, at best, superficial.

My problem is that if I had kept on second-guessing myself, I'd never finish this series. So this post's purpose is twofold:

To kick off a more long-term project that will fill in the many, many, many gaps in An Abbreviated History of Mecha.

To bring to light and to give you, dear reader, an idea of just how expansive mecha is.

So here's a, once again, incomplete list of mecha that was not covered in the original An Abbreviated History of Mecha series:

Gaiking

Kotetsu Jeeg/Steel Jeeg

Danguard Ace

Super Beast Machine King Dancouga

Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh/Matchless Raijin-Oh

Robot Jox

Heavy Gear

Genesis of Aquarion

Gotcha Force

Dragon Ball

gen:Lock (begrudgingly)

Giant Gorg

Armor Hunter Mellowlink

Gravion

Vandread

Ex-Arm (also begrudgingly, although given more time to think, I don't know if Ex-Arm actually counts anymore)

Hades Project Zeorymer

Megazone 23

Break Blade (originally was a part of Part 6 but was cut since, moreso than most shows, I didn't really have much to say about it)

Planet With

Granblem

Majestic Prince

Heavy Object

Obsolete

Gasaraki

Genocyber

Blue Gender

Flag

Knights of Sidonia

Porco Rosso

Howl's Moving Castle (the Ghibli Film, not the books, although if you squint I think you could count House of Many Ways)

The Wind Rises

Gintama (Tama out here carrying this stupid-ass series by herself)

Shogun Warriors (special thanks to Owlsounds for pointing this one out)

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Waters

The Princess and the Pilot

Medarot/Medabots

Zoids

Red Giant

Tryder G7

The Spider-Man Tokusatsu series

Iron Man

Rah'Xephon

Knights and Magic

Fafner of the Azure

Cross Ange

Robotics;Notes

And many, many, many more. If I missed any series on here that you think should have been mentioned here that was also missing in the original An Abbreviated History of Mecha, please let me know.

AU where the clone Kirk from "What Are Little Girls Made Of" isn't discovered until the brain-swap episode "Turnabout Intruder".

I don’t know to reply or interact with people on this dang web site but I agree with @owlsounds that Big Banter Corbin’s slam on Uncle Dave is absurd, in the sense that it’s always absurd to say “You can’t have an opinion on something unless you can do it, and do it well.” In that case, Big Banter Corbin wouldn’t be able to hold an opinion on football. Heyyyyyoooooo.

But I do appreciate that he’s taking his war on Internet wrestling nerds directly to the heart of the citadel with a slam on Big Dave. How are we going to respond when Corbin calls Jushin Thunder Liger a fat old man in a pinata mask? What then, guys. We need to plan for that eventuality.

@owlsounds, I accidentally deleted your ask, but to give an honest answer, I don’t really read comics that much for various reasons (budget, time investment, etc) and I’m not really that knowledgeable about this new company that is supposed to be taking over the Hasbro properties. I think it is a shame that IDW lost the license because apparently their takes were generally well received, and I am personally a fan of their take on Jem and the MLP/Transformers crossover. So that’s my take, sorry it’s not that enlightening.

I think John Cassavetes movies would be too sad for me to watch. Am I right? I think I am.

they are sad sometimes but they're SO worth the watch. i think a big theme of his work is confronting our own emotions and expressing them even if it is difficult, rather than avoiding or burying them like society kinda expects us to. so to that end, i would say even if you think it'd be tough it's still very worthwhile to engage with his art and just see how it makes you feel. there are a lot of happy moments in his films too that are worth enjoying, you just gotta take the ride to get to them
