>Does /m/ read?
Obviously not, since the mixed feelings on G-Reco were linked directly to people not being able to understand more than one thing at once.
>Are there any novels out there that deal with mechs?
Classical sci-fi. Like, the whole genre. If you want to start small, Memetrip Troopers and War of the Worlds have mecha. I, Robot is Asimov and /m/.
Ignoring that, I'm sure there's a few standouts (Japanese, likely), but the most easily found books are garbage (and in some cases non-stop dipshit references that /m/en would groan at since 70s robots aren't obscure here)
>I just really want to read something that deals with robots that look like robots, and not cyborgs that look like humans but some weird quark, like they type really fast, makes them "inhuman." Am I aiming for the starts on this one?
Yes, you're aiming for the "starts." I, Robot started the "Am I human?" thing GitS likes to play around with. Or you could scrounge up some old books with goofy titles and robots on the cover.
>I need to write it myself, don't I? Man. Boo.
Fuck off, tumblr. Nobody cares unless you have something to present to the class.

Solid bait

How about 80s Battletech novels. I like them. I also like Gibson cyberpunk, but from what you posted, I doubt you'll feel the same.

If you haven't read the book you posted in your OP, I have and it's pretty good. The cover caught my eye for sure. The robot's aren't sentient, but they are a big part of the story. There's a very small part where one of the military chicks has a moment with her robot unit, she hallucinates that it talks back to her, a little like the movie Her, where the AI is alive. But they never come back to it, which I thought, of course, was the best part.

For what purpose?

CCA sucks.

>>15646119
It's called Votoms, and you can watch it on kissanime™

SEED and SEED Destiny.

MSG 0079, MSG 0080: War in the Pocket, or MSZG are probably the best.

CCA is a shitty movie.
It only has good animation but that's literally it.

The movie shouldn't have has any characters but Char and Amuro because literally everyone else behaved like such a humongous retard it's hard to believe they're even human beings

Tomino women.

Yeah, sure. Some completely mediocre show that's aping shows from the 70s that are much cooler than itself is definitely much better that a successful franchise that has completely different tone than itself. Remind me again when Gurren Lagann got tons of sequels and spin-off manga? lol

It's an alright show. But I have no problems with someone thinking GL is actually the best mecha, my dear Satan.

It doesn't need any because it achieved what Gundam could never achieve in 1 season; being good

== THICK MS GROUPBUILD ==

Build a kit of your choice that's heavily armored, and thick in the thighs/arms/torso/general area. Examples include:

>Virtue/Seravee Gundams
>Gusion/Man Rodis
>Full Armor gundams (If they're heavily armored, and not guns strapped everywhere like the FA Unicorn)

Start Date: 6/15
End Date: 8/31

>>15636813
Good work, you made that shitty kit look like a decent poster.

Any with an exposed cockpit

>>15646565
TSFs probably suck enough shit to fail

I have a better question: are there any mechas that could be beaten by a hobo?

I don't know any Flint. I know a Frito though.

That's not our lord and saviour.

>>15645421
Better than what felcher gundam gave us.

And?
It's just a radio.

what the fuck is your problem?
I fucking hate exaids, but it won't go away if I blog about it.

What do they even talk about?

>>15644423
I'm gonna side with the Japanese on this one and say CyberRobo is a better name.

>>15644445
Yeah it's less generic.

>>15644423
is that like Predator but with Robocop
