They inspired hope in young boys everywhere, but now that we have entered the dark age of the waifu, the only thing anime inspires is cum.
What do you think of super robots?

You fool!
Capeshit has reached it’s saturation point and is on it’s way out.
The glorious age of Toku, Kaiju, and Mecha awaits!

Something that is not a Gundam, actually much bigger than that.

The best. When it comes to the engineering I'm a real robot guy, but growing up with super robot marked me forever.

I was genuinely hoping that Pacific Rim would usher in more mainstream mecha/kaiju movies, but that sequel shit the bed hard and ruined it

Robots that typically don't follow rules of normal physics and engineering (e.g. Getter Robo) are known as 'Super Robots' while series like Gundam/Macross that try to err on the side of realism more are known as 'Real Robots'

A gigantic piloted machine in bipedal shape, but with special powers that other gigantic piloted machines might not have.
For example, the super robots in the pictures of OP have special powers like rust rays, boomerang killslicer projectiles, and nearly infinite energy sources.
In generally, the super robot genre is Japan's super hero fiction, where a person pilots a mighty battle machine to fight an evil antagonistic force that cannot be defeated by the conventional local security forces.
This is contrasted with "real robot", where the protagonist's war machine, albeit still superior to other types, is considerably weaker, is part of a larger attack force, and there's more reliance on logistics and supply on both sides of the conflict.

I dropped Voltes V, after it started off pretty well it's just super dry

Robert Anderson
A giant robot that mostly observes the tropes of superhero comics rather than the tropes of military sci-fi.
