Fact: Super Robot shows are dead, unlike Real Robot shows.
>>13575349
>he says this when all the shows in recent years have been Super Robot trash
Dumbass.
>>13575361
Tell the IBO threads that their show is Super Robot trash and see what they tell you.
>>13575361
Tell me when a succesful SR show like TTGL happens again and then we'll talk.
>>13575487
Gundam transcends the definitions for obvious reasons.
>>13575586
All the recent RR shows sell just as bad as the recent SR shows, so by that metric, both genres are dead. Beyond that, >>13575349 still doesn't refute OPs statement in the slightest.
>>13575680
>All the recent RR shows sell just as bad as the recent SR shows, so by that metric, both genres are dead
Gundam is a Real Robot and it still sells
>inb4
It still is RR, keep crying SR fags :^)
>still doesn't refute OPs statement in the slightest.
How can something be superior if it's dead?

Are you implying sales = quality?
>How can something be superior if it's dead
The same way many people who came before you are better people than you'll ever be and have contributed more to important causes than you ever will? Just because something is dead doesn't mean it can't be better than something that's alive.

Who decided doing this was suddenly acceptable?
>>13575349
OP is bait but you're wrong.
REAL ROBOT SHOWS ARE DEAD AS SHIT and I'm saying this as a fan.
Seriously, when was the last time you got an actual real robot show like Takahashi's stuff?
Oh wait, it was last year and it was called Argevollen!
Now how many people watched Argevollen and how many BDs it sold in Japan? Go look for these stats, you'll be surprised.
Meanwhile, shit like Aquarion, Symphogear (even if it's magical girl, it has a lot of sr tropes) sell consistently well.
It's Japan. The culture will always favour emotion over logic and this is why the super robot genre will always be the top seller. Heck, Gundam had become more super robot over the years to get its fans.
Case in point, G Gundam, Wing Gundam, Gundam SEED, Build Fighters etc.
If supers are so great then why don't we talk about currently running series with supers in them?
>>13578054
Symphogear has its own thread that never dies.
>>13578051
SR shows are dead because the last true one we've got was TTGL and even that was homaging older shows.
Argevollen being mediocre doesn't deny the fact that it's a true RR show, proving that those still exist.
There's also a lot more RR influence in modern shows than SR, even in Gundam, where the lastest shows are leaning towards it (Unicorn, G-Reco, IBO and now Thunderbolt)
>>13578062
Symphogear is Magical Girl, not Super Robot.
Unlike Rayearth which is both.
>>13578069
>because the last true one we've got was TTGL
Daimidaler, Nobunaga the Fool, Aquarion.
>>13578069
Out of those, only Unicorn is really popular, and that was because of its good animation and music, not because of its RR elements. If anything, the unicorn itself is an example of super robot.
>>13578075
>Magical Girl, not Super Robot.
You're actually wrong if you think the sr genre is that specific.
Symphogear is both magical girl and super robot.
>>13575281
I suppose that's why one's called SUPER and the other's called REAL.
>>13578069
>SR shows are dead because the last true one we've got was TTGL and even that was homaging older shows.
Ignoring that Shin Mazinger (which admittedly sold like the steaming pile of shit that it desperately wanted to be, and barely had super robots in it) came out two years later, Mazinkaiser SKL came out in 2011 and it was OG super robot as fuck
>>13578172
>Daimidaler
He's going to say that one doesn't count because it's a parody/pastiche which is bullshit. He might discount them all on the basis of sales, too.
>>13578177
Except it is not. At all.
>>13578294
Doesn't count since it's based off an existing IP
Code Geass is basically super robot
>>13578323
Too old to be relevant to the discussion.
>>13578323
It's actually more RR than SR. Look at TTGL if you want a real Super Robot show.
>>13578333
What makes something a "real" Super Robot show, in your opinion? I'm very interested in how you answer.
>>13578316
Doesn't that make it more of a traditional super robot? I mean, if super robot anime is dead, then why is one of the oldest series still getting animes?
>>13578375
Doesn't count unless it's a dank new IP, you dumbass SRfag
>>13578383
>RRFag calling anyone dumb
Pot, meet kettle
>>13578054
Is this what passes for mecha designs these days?
>>13578426
Nah, it's just SR designs being shit just as they have always been. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Did you really have to delete your post over such a trivial error? Also, where the hell did you come from?
>>13578383
every new mecha anime is SR dumb RR fag.
Yes, even IBO.
THE REAL ROBOT GENRE IS DEAD AND HAS BEEN SINCE THE 90s. IT WAS A FAD THAT LASTED ABOUT A DECADE.
Super robot is the true mecha genre, and not simply a fad which is why it's the most prominent genre in this day and age.
Everything that came out in the 00s and after Eva is super robot. (Eva is super too)
I'm disappointed that this thread has gotten this many replies.
If you're so fucking triggered by obvious bait that you can't hide and ignore, consider seeing a professional.
Real robot and super robot were never an actual thing in the first place.
Also Votoms is about the only mecha anime where there isn't a "star" mecha. That doesn't constitute a genre.
>>13578538
Some other Takahashi shows too, but the exception, or handful of exceptions in this case, prove the rule.
>>13578538
>Also Votoms is about the only mecha anime where there isn't a "star" mecha
>what is Southern Cross, Tenamonya Voyagers, Pilot Candidate, Kishin Corps, etc.
>>13578609
>Pilot Candidate
I thought we agreed not to mention that show around here.
>>13578518
>If I don't agree with obvious facts it's bait
Anon, you don't need to be so paranoid
>>13578609
It's kind of funny that all those series are either bad, forgettable or both as another thing they have in common.
>>13578645
What would those obvious facts be anon? I'm a bit slow in the head, so if you could just point out the posts making them, I'd be very appreciative.
>>13578653
Obviously, Super robots are better than Real robots in every way.
Why?
I'm not gonna spoonfeed you
>>13578493
Well, Yeah. I came from Mountain which give birth to planets.
>>13575281
Super man is cool cause he can do things Real man can't do.
Real man is actually plausible and can be gathered in mass to do work. I can imagine giving him something to do task 10 times his abilties but can never mimic god like powers of Super man.
Things get out of hand when Real man becomes batman instead of Iron man and Superman might get replaced with doctor manhattan.
