in which anime do mechas feel like indestructible machines of mass destruction? can only think of Hades Project Zeorymer, End of Evangelion, the first 4 episodes of Getter Robo Armageddon and Mazinkaiser. Attack on Titan too.

Gundams and zakus can drop colonies without notice, you should fear them.
>without notice
they need multiple nuclear thrusters to make a colony move towards Earth
I think Ideon does a good job on a few occasions, or at the least there are definitely times when the absolutely colossal size of even the smallest of the Buff Clan Heavy Mobile Mecha and the Ideon itself become very apparent. However they are on the whole far from invincible, just fricking huge and destructive.
This looks amazing, how's the anime?
Balls
Most people seem to hate it but I think it's amazing. Very few mecha anime have this overpowering sense of dread as its primary tone and the plot twists are legitimately crazy.
>Most people seem to hate it
Those aren't people.
The only ones I ever saw who really slagged on it were some early 00s wannabe anime "critics," you know, the same morons who would tell you MD Geist isn't the raddest shit ever.
some people hate this OVA? why?
Because, for a time, anime critics were desperate to prove that their "art form" was of a higher general quality than it was. Of course these people would still ultimately be little more than shonen shitters, so in a way, it's nice to know things haven't change much.
>was of a higher general quality than it was
Visually is pure art, some works can be juvenile or shallow in plot and setting but have superior visual art, no need to be an all arround 10 in all departments and to be a transcendental or psychoanalysis deepmind frickery to be an outsanding piece of work. I watch anime for the animation and certainly zeorymer delivers.
Anime can be art and sometimes it is. Don't be one of those anti pseudo intellectual "anime can't be art bro" types. That's more pretentious than those anime critics you spoke of.
I didn't suggest anything to say it couldn't. I wasn't dismissing any work. But the question was asked and if you were actually old enough to have seen some of these bloggers with their "reviews" then you'd know why my answer as apt.
>Anime is art
FTFY
There were a couple of other things, too.
Like your average early 2000 "Sakura_Chan86" reviewer getting a fistful of Genocyber, Mad Bull 34, Apocalypse Zero, Dynamic OVAs and whatnot in his face that he has to wash away with a couple of Azumanga Daioh episodes or the fact that publishers licensed every shit under the sun that they could get and localize for peanuts, often resulting in stuff getting ripped out of context without its supplementary material, related toys, etc.
Like, take Time Bokan Royal Revival for example that somehow even got an English dub: it might be a decent little time waster over in Japan for fans of the franchise and Tatsunoko but for your Average Murrican Joe it'll probably end up being completely incomprehensible nonsense outside of the Mach 5.
This. Only the pretentious try hard crowd dislike it.
it's only 4 episodes, based on a manga by the guy who made Guyver. real good, check it out
It's pretty great. It's only four episodes and it doesn't waste its time. Instead of Zeorymer's invincibility cheapening the drama, they end up leaning into it in a way where the drama stems from how nobody can beat it.
