Literally glorified toy commercials.

TOP KEK

It's the lack of people in the industry who could make such anime.

Animating mecha is so popular because you don't need any mechanical animation skills but you just need to apply the same set of animation rules like for you human animation.

Didn't GuP models sold well too?

GuP is shit
Only retards could enjoy that

They don't need them for 3DCG tanks either.
They hire consultant.

Why don't Japan like tanks anyway?

>>150933428
They never learned to make them. I mean have you seen the tin cans they used in the war?

>>150932229
What exactly you expect them to do? GuP is a sports anime so more straightforward SoL with girl commuting to school in a tank?

>>150933649
the type 74 is pretty cute you cockmongling faggot

>>150933659
Realistic war anime?

Much better than aging abrams.

I think he mean ww II tanks

>>150932512
They don't literally print money from mecha you illiterate mongoloid.

>>150933649
Then where's the idea of a single giant robots win the war come from?

>>150932229
They're still making more GUP and it's hard to compete against it in its highly specific niche.

>>150932416

Only Gundam really does. And even then half of Gundam revenue is not plastic.

And you know that bishojo figs make much more money than Gunpla right?

This whole "mecha only needs to sell toys" crap is a meme.

Bandai gets those money you fucking idiot.

And even for them it's not the best moneymaker.

>>150935677
Except that's what literally built the genre in the 70s and 80s and mecha now is nowhere near as popular as it was then, which makes OP's point pretty moot.

Sure you've got otaku aimed mecha shows that don't rely on plamo and subsequently flop, but most otaku anime flop, so there's no point in OP singling out mecha shows.

>>150932229
This. Tank battle is so much fun than most mecha battle.

>>150935868

In top 20 anime of this decade there is 0 mecha. Pretty much every other genre is there.

>>150935869

90% of mecha is just typical shonen shit with screaming teenagers
