Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This single series invented the 'real robot' subgenre, ditching super-robots for military hardware and psychological damage. Every Evangelion, Code Geass, and Attack on Titan owes it rent.
Tomino was so depressed during production he earned the nickname 'Kill 'Em All Tomino' — the body count wasn't cynical, it was therapeutic.
