A new subgenre in anime emerged during the 1980s: Real Robot. This subgenre focused on technological realism. It was influenced in part by the Japanese anime Mobile Suit Gundam, which featured large robots in realistic military situations.
The Real Robot subgenre, also known as walking tanks or walking machines, is also called "walking robots" or "walking cars". These robots are typically small, simple in design and not as powerful as the average Super Robot. Instead of being one robot, these vehicles are controlled by special characters. They can be piloted by mercenaries, or military personnel. They may be equipped with ranged weaponry. They are also more mobile and provide a higher level in defense. They usually cost a lot of money to maintain. In addition, they are usually destroyed in pointless ways. They are most often made by corporations or the military.
Mobile Suit Gundam (the most well-known Real Robot series) and Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu (the Legend of Daiku-Maryu) are two of the most well-known. These series are about a single character who pilots a real robot. They have a special relationship with the robot. They can also have special abilities. Some robots are magical, while others are relics from the past.
A few Super Robots have made a recent comeback in anime. They are not as well-known as they used to be. This is due in part to the fact that the genre has evolved. Gundam was, for instance, the first anime series to show a robot fighting in a real military setting. A series of anime featuring teenage pilots fighting giant robots has been created. Command & Conquer: Tiberium also features a popular example.
The history of giant robots is a long one. It includes failures, successes, and remakes. This history will continue to be with us for many decades. It is impossible to predict what the future holds. It is clear that the mecha genre will remain around for a while. There are several notable names who have achieved real success, such as Kunio Okawara and Yuichi Ishikawa.
Mazinger Z manga was the inspiration for the Real Robot series. This series was the first to feature a giant robot as the main character. The manga was popular at the time, and it led to an anime series. The manga featured realistic portrayals of warfare. The manga was adapted into anime, which led to a large and successful franchise of robots.
The series' main characters are portrayed as having special powers, but most of them are trained for one specific type of Gear. Gears are a type or armor that does not have a lot of firepower. They are often treated like light tanks. The Gears are also usually unable to be interchanged, so most pilots are trained for a single type of Gear.
It will be a long-lasting story of giant robots. They will always be there, whether they become magic, relics in the past or the future.
