Real Robot, a subgenre of anime that was created in the 1980s. This subgenre was all about technological realism. It was influenced by the Japanese anime series Mobile Suit Gundam, which featured giant robots in realistic military situations.
The Real Robot subgenre may also be known as "walking tanks", or "walking machine". These robots tend to be smaller and more simplistic in appearance than the typical Super Robot. These robots can be controlled by special characters, rather than being one single robot. These characters can be mercenaries or military personnel. They often have ranged weapons. They are also mobile and can provide more defense. They are often expensive to keep. In addition, they are usually destroyed in pointless ways. They are generally manufactured by corporations, or the military.
The most well-known Real Robot series are Mobile Suit Gundam and Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu. These series are about a single character who pilots a real robot. These characters share a special bond to the robot. They may also possess special abilities. Some robots are magical, while others are relics from the past.
A few Super Robots have recently made a comeback. They are not as well-known as they used to be. They are less prominent today because the genre has evolved. Gundam was the first anime to feature a robot within a realistic military environment. The series also introduced a new franchise that features teenage pilots using giant robots in battle. Command & Conquer: Tiberium is another popular example.
The history behind giant robots is long. It includes failures, successes, and remakes. For decades to come, this history will remain with us. It is difficult to predict what the future holds for the mecha genre. However, it is certain that the mecha genre will continue to exist for some time. Kunio Okayawara and Yuichi Ichihikawa are two examples of notable success.
Mazinger Z, a manga series that inspired the Real Robot genre, was also inspiration. This anime series featured a giant robot as its main character. It was a popular manga at the time and 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 main characters of the series are shown to have special powers. However most of them are trained in a specific type. The Gears are a type of armor that lacks heavy firepower, but they are usually treated like lighter tanks. Because the Gears can't be interchanged, most pilots are only trained for one type.
The history of giant robotics will continue to live on for many more decades. They will live on in our hearts for many decades, be they magical, relics from the past, or future of humanity.
