I don't think any of them are capable of doing that since the Eltreum is borderline indestructible, even Nono, powerful as she is, does nothing that I would say is explicitly impossible until the Double Inazuma Kick, which was powered more by her friendship with Lal'c and their hope and determination than any actual technical specs, that could destroy the Eltreum for sure but that's a one time attack that can't be easily replicated.

We both know this is retarded because it break down simply with quantity, or proportion among the forces, or niche utilization, or just by the inexistence of tanks/jets (including if they are subcomponent of the mecha).

By your retarded logic Patlabor are unique standout so "super robot", and the Sizzler machine are regularly built so "real robot".

>retards may now reply to this post splitting hairs and citing exceptions
The existence of "exceptions" (which for us would be sub-genre) is what invalidate your argument in the first place.

"Super robot" does involve a measure of power because what they represent is essentially overcoming the laws (of physics) that apply to everything else.
"Real robot" are usually less powerful because they explicitly try to play with the same laws of physics as everything else.
Thus it's impossible to refine those without meta interpretation or the author's intent.
But while the real/super is more of a graph that deserve 2 other axis, if not a 4th, your attempt to be the edgy smartass above <metrics you simply don't understand> reveal you as the biggest retard in the thread.

>literally argues that outliers invalidate trends
this is why i laugh at anyone complaining about super/real terms. the same kind of midwits to cite personal anecdotes as proof statistics are false
patlabor is a horrible example for your "argument" because labors are normal mass-produced machines, making it real robot. hell, it's right in the name: they take a labor robot and use it for police duty. the whole point is robots are an established, existing technology
and yes, gunbuster is also a real robot show because the sizzlers are military hardware. ironically you got this one right, though you're implying you think it's otherwise so maybe not
the point is that in a "real robot" setting, robots are a conventionally produced items and in a "super robot" setting they're special heroes only made by one genius or other unique source. even if there are some special robots, like how grandpa is special in 0079, the setting is what matters (i.e they are mass-producing zakus)
in the real world, for example, there are special one-of-one cars that exist, but normal cars are still mass-produced which makes cars conventional technology

A super-robot like car would be James Bond 007's spy cars. Claiming the mantle of technology as the fantasy of a super-car.

The Patrol Labor being categorized real robot is pretty much the point, but by the previous anon's logic >>23795815 they would not because they stand out, same goes for Gundam or pretty much any other prototype.
Whereas mass-production remain a silly criterion because super-robot are often presented as just hardware, even if it's hardware of such quality they cannot afford more than one. By that logic the Gunbuster remain an unique super-robot since it wasn't mass-produced, and so goes many other "super" robot like Robot-Jox.

So it is mainly more a question of power respective to other non-robot hardware in the setting.

>>23811370

>>23811427
That's just marketing.

>>23811453
you're not really understanding my post
the point is that "real robot" and "super robot" are terms that describe subgenres, not specific machines. it isn't "a real robot" but rather "a real robot SHOW" aka a real robot setting
if the setting has robots presented as established, conventional technology (not just made using normal technology but regularly produced and used throughout the setting. i.e. robots themselves are conventional) it's "real robot." things like gundam, dougram, votoms are the obvious examples. lots of people have robots, they are widely used and available before the introduction of the hero
this is a departure from things like getter, zambot, etc where even if the robots are built using normal technology they aren't conventional. almost nobody has robots, the ones that exist are unique to other available weapons. even when these settings go on to introduce mp versions, they're still deriving them from the hero-- they weren't conventional technology
of course there are going to be shows that don't fit perfectly in either group, but that doesn't mean the overall trends don't exist. these are two subgenres broadly applicable to a lot of /m/ shows, they are useful in discussing the evolution of /m/ shows over time, and it seems like anyone approaching the topic in good faith can understand the distinction

Damn I guess Godannar is real robot lmfao

>>23812089
You're sort of right that it's about setting but you're wrong about everything else. It has nothing to do with the technology (you're falling into a similar trap as power levels and mass production) but everything to do with the aesthetics of the setting and even the robots themselves. Robots actually look super or real even if you know nothing of the story/setting. That's because it is purely a visual aesthetic. In essense real robot is any robot that looks military or something similar such as a police or research robot. Usually the setting goes hand in hand with that. For a direct counter example to your claim, I'll cite Turn A Gundam. Robots are not conventional in Turn A Gundam. They are literally artifacts unearthed, or from an culturally alien moon civilization, and fighting against early 19th century technology like biplanes, making them unique to other available weapons. They are also derived from the hero (and villain) robot. Said hero/villain robots also have seemingly magical abilites like butterfly wings of anti-technology. Yet Turn A Gundam is a real robot show. Because that is the aesthetic it fits into.

>>23812307
To further illustrate my point I'll compare what I said about Turn A to Mazinger Z. Like Turn A, Mazinger Z has a hero robot that is the basis for the other Earth robots in its setting, which are eventually mass produced, and Mazinger Z battles against robots from a culturally, and later literally, alien Earth civilization.

>>23812314
(sorry post got submitted by accident before I was done)

Mazinger Z lacks the more fantastical aspects of Turn A i.e. it doesn't have an equivalent to Moonlight Butterfly and the non-robot technology is closer to Mazinger's tech level than Ameria's is to Turn A. Mazinger also has more an infrastructure to support it (Professor Yumi is familiar with Photonic tech, there's an entire facility dedicated to supporting Mazinger) whereas Turn A is literally lost alien technology being controlled and somehow maintained by steam engine/early electricity age civilians. Mazinger Z can't fly without a rocket pack but Turn A is flying around using light particles and has beam swords etc. By all counts, Mazinger Z is technologically inferior to Turn A and its setting is more consistent. Yet Mazinger Z is the representative super robot while Turn A is real robot. This all comes down to the visual aesthetics of the robot and also, in this particular case, the storytelling aesthetics.

>the point is that "real robot" and "super robot" are terms that describe subgenres
Which was literally my point from the start when I talked about it being "impossible to refine those (genre) without a meta interpretation of the author's intent."

So I'm afraid you are just being contrarian while shifting your argument from "numbers/rarity" to "unconventional/conventional" to the "heroism" of pilot(s), leading to the awkward position of having to measure heroism, by this standard Gunbuster is unmistakable super-robot show but so would be many high-stake, character centric, "real robot" mecha where the main character is constantly introducing the new conflict-changing technology leading the conflict.

Which is why the intent matter more than arguing "conventional" "unconventional" and a side-effect of "heroic" pilot, is them being the most powerful entities in their respective show, regardless if it's by skill, psychic power, or being handed the super-prototype.
Sometimes the author intent is just to troll his audience.

>seems like anyone approaching the topic in good faith can understand the distinction
Someone in good faith would not pretend to be superior "laughing" at those discussing the terms, then do no better job at defining them.

As I said before the distinction real/super is more of a graph that deserve 2 other axis, if not a 4th dimension.

Diebuster is nowhere slop but it certainly wasn't using "traditional style". Or you could say they had overly saturated color and cheap animation precisely because they did it the old way, compensating for CRT screen color degradation that don't exist, and thinking with the limitation of multiplane camera.
Early digital has a "timeless look" because it was usually ugly as fuck.
Again, Diebuster is not ugly, but it certainly didn't set any animation standard that hasn't been surpassed since.

It- is- getting confusing, but I reserve the right to think you are backpedalling from acting like a condescending smartass despite having no cleaner definitions for the colloquial "real robot"/"super robot" sub-genres.
Defining those definitely cannot be summed up by any single criteria, and all "outlier" or "edge case" are just part of the genre (unless one wish to inflate the importance of cheap copypaste show as representing the genre)

That's kind of a regular feature for that genre. Even when they do get maintenance it's sometime the equivalent of a one/few rednecks repairing a space-shuttle off-screen in the week, without even ordering supplies, as if they had enough spare part ready to build 10 robots.

>Self-proclaimed real robot fans are the absolute fucking worst about this kind of crap and generally know next to nothing about anything outside of their gundam hugbox.
Oh I know a fanbase far worse than that!
Self-proclaimed mecha fan who act like nihilist dumbass when all they know of Gundam is 1/2 Alt-Centuries series from mainstream TV channel. Shitting on true fans who have extensive knowledge of narratives codes, design cues, and can appreciate both real/super subgenre.
Shitting on them for caring about "pointless details" instead of mindlessly consuming mass-media stuff as they do themselves.

>>23813817
>act like "real robot" is more realistic
It kinda is the entire appeal of the genre, even if they still need to sell gunpla and mileage vary.
Gundam shifted the expectations a long time ago, ever since those expectations shifted again making Gundam more super than real.
Knowing something remain fictional doesn't mean no further efforts can be made toward verisimilitude.

>or grown-up than "super robot"
Hard to deny this genre is often geared toward a younger audience and less demanding as writing goes.
It's not that they cannot be dark/bloody like NGE, or sophisticated in both themes & technical visuals, but it less often the case.
And when we mock "real robot" for being too cheated, basically "super", it's because it is simply more difficult to make and sell in the first place.

Especially as IRL robot sound geared to be limited to drones.

The training units and all the ones that normally fight the space monsters are real.

After the 3rd ep Gunbuster itself shows up and it's a super

In ep6 we get a despecced mass produced Gunbustercalled a Sizzler and is more like a real again. It implodes under the weight of Jupiter, and doesn't have all the weapons as GB.

Some of the first mecha featured in manga and anime were "super robots" (スーパーロボット sūpā robotto).[1] The super robot genre features superhero-like giant robots that are often one-of-a-kind and the product of an ancient civilization, aliens or a mad genius. These robots are usually piloted by Japanese teenagers via voice command or neural uplink, and are often powered by mystical or exotic energy sources.[1] Their abilities are described as "quasi-magical".[9]

The later real robot (リアルロボット riaru robotto) genre features robots that do not have mythical superpowers, but rather use largely conventional, albeit futuristic weapons and power sources, and are often mass-produced on a large scale for use in wars.[1] The real robot genre also tends to feature more complex characters with moral conflicts and personal problems.[10] The genre is therefore aimed primarily at teenagers and young adults instead of a general audience including children.[11]

I think this discussion about Supers vs Reals is getting silly at this point, especially for a setting like Top wo Nerae that abandoned a lot of pretenses of being realistic by the end with things like giant black hole bombs being made from just the resources of a single solar system and mass produced mecha with the energy output of our sun.

Wikipedia is the greatest source of misinformation in history

NTA but those are pretty accurate generalizations. But feel free to edit the article if it's so wrong. But don't cry when your edits are inevitably reverted because you don't have any sources except your own ass.

NTA but you're dumb and wrong. Don't cry about it.

how have you faggots been arguing this shit for a month
super vs real is a made up distinction that only westerners give a fuck about for some bizarre reason. the terms lack nuance and are extremely vague, which is the first sign you shouldn't be using them. my biggest issue with the terms is that there are newfags who use the term super robot disparagingly and ignore the wealth of great robot shows because they are "kiddy shit" when in reality they are often great and just as thematically rich as any so-called real robot show. great mazinger is an example, it's actually quite a mature show approaching real-world issues in certain episodes.
to me it makes far more sense to just view it as a big tent, why wouldn't you like gaogaigar if you like votoms? the director of votoms was the producer of ggg after all. just watch robot shit instead of making up retarded labels as an excuse to not watch something.

Gunbuster is literally super. Japan said so. See image.
