Does /m/ prefer mecha shows and movies as serious or jokey?

Serious, with light-hearted moments to give the characters some humanity

>>13555626
Both at different times

Lighthearted but not comedic.

Why not both?

>>13555626
These days I prefer jokey, though it comes and goes in phases. One of the reasons I can't into IBO (right now).

>>13555626
i prefer my mecha anime to be jokingly serious and my western mecha to be serious. although said seriousness really hurts when it's overdone.

What did he mean by this /m/?

Newtypes are easy to distinguish.

>>13555830
well the superior race is easy to distinguish, thats right.

>>13555638
This.

Thinking of my favorite shows it's easy to say I prefer jokey (Gunbuster, SDF Macross, FLCL, LoGH, GE999), but I can appreciate a story that sticks to its guns when it wants to lay it on.

What if you enjoy both?

>>13556055
Everyone does. OP wants to know which tone you prefer, if you do.

I prefer my mecha hotblooded, humorous, and with a dash of serious drama.

Drama is like salt. It's a nifty spice, but too much of it makes me cringe and gag.

Likewise, going overboard with jokes makes it impossible to even care about something that shits all over itself.
