    So a lot of mechas ? 😅
    The only mecha anime I’ve watched and remember are Code Geass and Aldnoah Zero.
    I liked Aldnoah Zero quite a bit personally… that is, I liked season 1.
    They fucked up s2 by making it all about the hardware that the MC uses instead of his skill like in s1. They also ruined the last really impactful scene of season 1.

      Not enough mecha anime gets produced nowadays. It’s pretty barren outside of Gundam every couple years.

        TBF they dragged that horse for miles in the 90s.

        There were a couple of really good Mecha + Isekai that I enjoyed recently, or at least I read the manga, “Knights and Magic” as well as “The World of an Otome Game is Tough for Mobs”.

        Kaiju No 9 was pretty good. I know it’s a kaiju not a mecha, but it’s pretty similar in execution

    Who’s going around hating Infinite Stratos? I will find you and bonk you for hating on that precious combo of stupid, self-aware humour, yuri and mechs.

    I really wish SAO was just consistently good thought. I cannot comprehend how you can move between fantastic and terrible so frequently. Like, Alicization started of amazing and then there was also the second half of it…

    The issue with Infinite Stratos is that it’s part of a genre of near exact plot copies. It’s almost always a dude who is accepted into a magic/scifi academy and catches the attention of the flame princess and builds a harem. The MC is always somehow a special unique case.

    Infinite Stratos
    Chivalry of a Failed Knight
    Academy Battle City Asterisk
    Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle
    The Testament of Sister New Devil
    Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia
    The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy
    Absolute Duo
    Blade Dance of the Elementalers
    Freezing
    Myriad Colors Phantom World
    World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman
    Hundred

    The list goes on.
