So, Prof and Eric are over, and Prof was curious what the ratio of mecha to non-specifically mecha canons and characters. So I figured it out.



As a note, I did not include original characters in this, nor characters who have been dropped (I believe all of the dropped canon characters have actually been mecha, though), or Ryo.

# Canons Total: 41
# Mecha Canons: 31 (76%)
# Tokusatsu* Canons: 5 (12%)
# Magical Girl** Canons: 3 (7%)
# Other*** Canons: 2 (5%)

# Characters Total: 78
# Mecha Characters: 56 (72%)
# Tokusatsu Characters: 8 (10%)
# Magical Girl Characters: 12 (15%)
# Other Characters: 2 (3%)

If we add in OCs to the mix, the numbers change as follows:

# Canons Total: 60
# Mecha Canons: 31 (52%)
# Tokusatsu Canons: 5 (8%)
# Magical Girl Canons: 3 (5%)
# Other Canons: 2 (3%)
# OC Canons: 19 (32%)

# Characters Total: 105
# Mecha Characters: 56 (53%)
# Tokusatsu Characters: 8 (8%)
# Magical Girl Characters: 12 (11%)
# Other Characters: 2 (2%)
# OCs: 27 (26%)

If we add the OCs into their respective categories****, we get this:

# Canons Total: 60
# Mecha Canons: 47 (78%)
# Tokusatsu Canons: 6 (10%)
# Magical Girl Canons: 3 (5%)
# Other Canons: 4 (6%)

# Characters Total: 105
# Mecha Characters: 78 (74%)
# Tokusatsu Characters: 11 (10%)
# Magical Girl Characters: 12 (11%)
# Other Characters: 4 (4%)

Notes:
* Tokusatsu includes Power Rangers
** Magical Girls consists of Nanoha, Otome, and Strike Witches
*** Others is Megaman and Metroid, since neither really fit in other categories
**** For OCs, I've based categories on my best understanding of the characters and their apps. Still Not Safe I've put under Tokusatsu (for the Power Armor), Del Segno al Coda I put under Other (since she doesn't have a machine and is non-combat), and ______ Revolution: Abraxas I put under Other as well. Everything else was put under Mecha. If I got it wrong, let me know and I'll fix it.

Shouldn't Cosmic Break be under Others too?

Cosmic Break is Magical Girls. And so is Still Not Safe.

(Spoilers: no they're not.)

MarKus wishes he was tokusatsu and not mecha. But sucks to be him.

Astral Frontier is secretly a boxing anime disguised as a mecha anime.

Like how the movie Annapolis is really about boxing and it's not a military academy movie.

End of Astral Frontier:



/m/anly tears.

A TTGL reference? Mushi Productions confirmed for bros

Yeah, Ashita no Joe totally referenced Gurren Lagann, despite being made 35 years later.

That's just how awesome TTGL is.
