Would it be a good idea to create a new page for this and list all shows there and a few of the most popular here? Philip Nilsson 09:49, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Basic Characteristics: "However, in the 1990's a renaissance in the Super Robot genre occurred, most of it after the success of Neon Genesis Evangelion, a series which used the Super Robot show premise and ideas with a new depth and sophistication in its plot. This led to more recent anime series and OVAs like Zeorymer Hades Project, and Giant Robo that the basic concept of Super Robot shows and combined it with storylines that were more complex, profound, and leaning toward ambiguity between heroes and villains."
Hades Project Zeorymer and Giant Robo predate Neon Genesis Evangelion. Evangelion came out in Japan in 1995, Giant Robo in 1992, and Zeorymer in the late 80's.
[edit] neon genesis evangelion
it should be removed from this list since the EVAs aren¡t robot but androids o better said living things with armor attached to it i removed it myself but here it is what it said
"* Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995)" ", as well as progressive attempts at the genre such as the controversial Neon Genesis Evangelion" "Another notably addition to the Bandai SOC line are the EVA units from the more recent Evangelion anime series."

- Neon Genesis Evangelion is too much of a mixed bag to put in either the Super Robot or Real Robot categories, it blends elements of both genres and is generally hard to categorize, that and the fact the Evangelion Units themselves aren't technically robots (they are however, still considered Mecha) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nightmare X (talk • contribs) 13:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Capitalization
As the title is just a genre, not a proper name as far as I can tell, I believe it should be uncapitalized (see WP:NC). It seems to have been left capitalized since its creation, and there has been no comment one way or another here, so I'm assuming it won't be controversial if I just make the move, per the guideline I mentioned above. The term should probably also be lower-case when used throughout the article, but I won't make those changes quite yet, in case there's some disagreement. --Fru1tbat 20:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
