Talk:Mecha anime and manga

message: I think the "game" section is rather out of place and has very little to do with mecha anime (it's a different medium from anime after all) it might be best to note influences on games like xenosaga etc. but mechwarrior is completely unrelated, the game subsection should probably be moved to the "mecha" article. It's obviously not a complete article but I'm not the one to complete it

message: I think the statement that Mobile Suit Gundam is "an anti-war series that is pro-war at heart" is quite unclear as to its exact meaning and could also be considered quite controversial. Given the size, breadth and popularity of the Gundam franchise it is probably inappropriate to make such a simplistic statement about its core morals. Also, it doesn't seem to serve any real purpose within the wider article.
The statement should perhaps be removed, or at least clarified and/or expanded on. Fearthehat 23:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Steambot Chronicles?

message: Reasons why it should be moved is because it is indeed a genre, and a genre that doesn't limit itself to just anime, but also printed media and even live action series. Lucia Black (talk) 16:12, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: How many things that are "mecha" aren't anime though. And "fiction containing robots" doesn't really sound like a genre.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:34, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Several manga have been released. And fiction containing yuri is considered yuri, fiction containing science fiction is considered science fiction, and fiction contianing fantasy is considered fantasy. Mecha is more of a subgenre, but a genre nontheless. Lucia Black (talk) 18:41, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Science fiction and fantasy are genres. Mecha usually falls into the former. And yuri is just porn.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:01, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No..yuri is a genre....mecha is widely considered a genre. Lucia Black (talk) 19:15, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Yuri is the word given to lesbian romance stories.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:16, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

text: There is a genre article already. It's at Mecha. If you want to include manga or other Japanese media in this article, appropriate article names would be Mecha in anime and manga or Mecha in Japan. --Mika1h (talk) 21:16, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Or rather just merge it to the main article anyways. Lucia Black (talk) 01:49, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
