*Excluding Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Kept looking for GL’s outlier dot in the super robot section, then figured the just left it out so as to not bastardize the results.

For anyone OOTL, the show features robots at an intergalactic scale, such that the crew needs to invent FTL communications and travel just to communicate and move within the ship proper.

Searching for GL anime I get “girl love”, ehich seems unrelated to space or robots.

Could you provide the full name of the show?

"Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann", from upthread; the GL is for "Gurren Lagann", which is how it's usually known.

Mecha seem to have disappeared from Japanese anime. Here's the anime list for Spring 2024.[1] [1] https://anichart.net/Spring-2024

Mecha was a 1960s-1980s war-inspired fascination that maybe, if anything, we should be surprised at the longevity of. We haven't really been getting that many giant robots or pilotable mechs in popular media outside of Japanese animation.

Mecha is never going to disappear. Mecha are great for toy sales.
