Except no, they are not the future. They would be stupid lumbering hulks easily destroyed from the air.

Or just by tanks.

Or just by trip wires.

Or just by teddy bears with sticks.

I hope you are joking because thats just stupid.

The first tanks was slow, big and lumbering that often broke down or got stuck.

Tanks have their own version of trip wire, they are called tank traps. Tanks don't have a problem with them unless the drivers dumb.

Today, tanks are fast, deadly and nothing like their first tanks that was first used in WW1.

Mechs will have the same technology patten and ladder that will process into killing machines.

Good for them. It seems that they take the same creative approach to the military that they take to the sex industry. Why make do with a strip club when you can have a club which allows you to grope school girls on a train, or get a hand job from a mermaid (mental preverts!). Why build a tank when you can build a mech warrior. I think a society with so much formality has to blow off steam and this is the result. They probably won't let Gajin play with it, just like the mermaids.
 
I was in Divers City, Odaiba last week, the gundam stands outside a shopping complex which has a Gundam museum and Dome-G theatre on it's 7th floor.

The sheer sight of the RX-78 put a big cheesy smile on my face. The attention to details and the presence it has is amazing.

That's me at the foot of the RX-78 Gundam looking all wooden.

Ha ha ha lol! The first tanks didn't have guided air to surface missiles to worry about, did they? They went up against blokes with guns. So they were awesome weapons despite their crapness compared to today's tanks. Some potential 'first mech' which, let me remind you again, would be a ridiculous slow lumbering hulk with 0 advantages over a modern tank, would be wiped out instantly by already existing technology. Sorry to bust your teenage fantasies but mech wars ain't gonna happen, cool as it would be.

It really isn't, the is a very noticeable line between animated movies and cartoons, in the west we have the norm of animation being done for children because its cute/funny and live action being the stuff for more mature audience. In Japan however film evolved differently and animated movies arose as an art form due in most part to their cheapness.

Id wager that the Lensman (legendary anime movie) had a lower budget than the average simpson's episode, if it had been live action it would have been Star Wars expensive.

I view animated films in the same sense as black and white movies, their not the standard in our age/culture but that doesn't make them pointless/bad/old/childish/etc.

Back on topic, its a stupid idea, battleships are gone, tanks are practically obsolete, the technology for a giant walking armoured mech armed to the teeth may have now arrived but the point and usefulness on the battlefield has been long departed.

Art or not, they are still predominantly the domain of children and teenagers, and also to adults who by and large seem to have some rather strange affectations.....

In any case, they are still Cartoons as a cartoon is defined as being illustrated visual art.

Lensman is also series of novels by EE Smith, I read them as a Child and that is the point, I was a child.....I watched Akira as a young adult, Anime is a blanket term...it can refer to animation from any number of genres aimed at any number of age and taste groups......take Hentai for example, the very name defines it as weird.....Manga is Japanese for Cartoon, Anime is simply the blanket term.

And the truth is that Anime is predominantly the province of children and young adults.
