What is cooler than a giant robot?

Me.

Prove it.

Kyoani slice of life stuff got popular, happy realistic stories have priority when the economy fails to recover.

It didn't, we still get new mecha series every year with the occasional old series being brought back. Mechafags just aren't as vocal as seasonal shitters are so most retards who live in their echo chamber assume it's dead.

Ruri was so hot

you have to go back.

A long string of trash originals and disappointing sequels throughout the 2010s.

Once you watch Transformers or Power Rangers you've seen what mecha would offer you. It's just little kid shit like Naruto but for homos.

Mecha toys lost popularity to vidya. Model kits are too hard for zoom zooms. Mecha anime has a symbiotic relationship with toys.

Nadesico is shit.

I'm sorry for the people's families who lost their lives and stuff, but does anyone else ever feel happy that kyoani got burned down?

It's for kids.

Cute girls like Ruri are more interesting than giant stationary robots.

Mecha died with Star Driver, the pinnacle of the genre.

Mecha kits are the Japanese equivalent to Legos and that's lame.
