Rundown:
rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.
Rules:
Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

There aren't many well known mecha series like that actually. And I find the rest of your comparisons funny because there's always ONE series as example of its genre. The "parent" so to speak.
All shonen comes from Dragon Ball, all magical girl comes from Sailor Moon. Yeah, you used it like sarcasm, but that's how it works. They put "the rules" of the genre.
There are three main mecha categories. Mecha vs Mecha at war, daddy there is Gundam. Mecha vs monsters without depth, aka "chokuzoka", that's Mazinger and all its cousins from the 80s. Eva can be good or bad in your opinion, but it marked a before and after in mecha series, and that's the third group and where Pacific Rim belongs to.
