/lit/ manages to discuss books (though there was the /book/ "You don't need images to discuss books" thing for a few years).

Post a picture from the book (most of them have pictures) and discuss the damn novel. We manage to discuss visual novels with anime adaptations without talking about the anime. It may come up tangentially, but we're at least discussing the VN. Most people ITT haven't read the LN and we both know it.

How, exactly, does one go about doing this? The anime and novel have the same basic story and characters. Yozora is a bitch in both. So how are you able to discern that these people are talking about the anime and not the novel?

But this primarily anime discussion and /c/ image dump is what you want? It belongs here? Then what do /a/ and /c/ even exist for?

People seem to have no problem with imagedump threads of lenfried or touhou girls or idolmasters etc etc.

Because that's where you are supposed to talk about mecha anime, the keyword in "mecha anime" is mecha.

I don't get why people desperately try to bring anime and other random 2D dumps to /jp/. The board was specifically made to separate /a/ from what is not /a/, like Touhou for example.

>> No.9249500,28 [INTERNAL]

>Because that's where you are supposed to talk about mecha anime
No. It's where you go to talk about mechs in general. If that's where you go to talk about mech anime, then they wouldn't discuss code geass, gundam, etc on /a/. So it is cross board content that nobody gets upset about.

>The board was specifically made to separate /a/ from what is not /a/
The separation was in order to make /a/ only about anime and manga. Whether or not anime or manga gets discussion sometimes on /jp/ is irrelevant to that goal.

If you want to talk about mechs from CG you are free to do so on /m/, nobody will complain. But they won't let you make "Kallen threads" just because she pilots a giant robot, that's for sure.

>Whether or not anime or manga gets discussion sometimes on /jp/ is irrelevant to that goal.
There's a difference between cross board content and off topic content. Touhou games on /v/ are cross board content. Anime and JRPGs threads on /jp/ are off topic content.

Now back to Meat: if you make your LN Sena thread properly, it won't get deleted. If you post ``why is she so perfect'' screencaps, the thread will be trashed. And it's the same with any other topic, even Touhou.

'off topic' content being not allowed on /jp/ seems to only apply to anime though. MMO threads, image dump threads, 3DPD threads, blog threads, Japan threads, random threads, etc all seem to be allowed on /jp/, even though there are other boards they belong on. Yet as soon as someone talks about anime or anything it is a no-no and needs to be deleted. Makes little sense.

>when somebody says that he enjoys mecha anime you wouldn't normally reply with "Oh yes, like Code Geass, right?".
Correct. I would normally reply with "Oh yea, what kind of mech anime do you like?" because it would be silly to presume. Code Geass is still most definitely a mech anime and you have provided no actual argument as to why it is not. It's just as much a mech show as 00 or Gundam Wing or whatever.

It features mechs, but it's not a mech centered anime like Gundam.
It's like calling Code Geass a Mahou Shoujo show just because it has witch-like, magic-using whores.

Because if you remove mechs from Gundam, there would be no Gundam.
If you remove mechs from CG, not much (nothing, in fact) will change.

Except, you know, Lelouch wouldn't be able to carry out his war against Britannia. The focus in neither Gundam nor Code Geass is the mechs, they simply serve as vehicles to drive the story forward, and to also entertain the viewer.

In CG, mechs are just weapons. You can replace them with whatever vehicle/armor/weapon you want, or even completely remove them and it won't change anything.

Gundam, or any other mech-centric show like Evangelion or Macross, are all about mechs. They even have the mechs' name in the title.

Go on, tell that to the guys at /m/ and see how they react. Tell them that Valkyries are minor elements and that Itano Circus is an obscure gimmick.

The point is, there are series that mostly or completely revolve around mechas. You don't watch Gundam for romance or for politics or for SOL. You watch Gundam because you like giants robots trashing each other.
And of course, you normally wouldn't watch 2 seasons of Code Geass just for the giant robots.

That's the difference because "mecha anime" and "anime occasionally featuring robots".

How they react doesn't make it any less true. They could just be flying regular fighter jets that don't transform into mechs and it wouldn't make a difference.

>You don't watch Gundam for romance or for politics or for SOL. You watch Gundam because you like giants robots trashing each other.
No, you watch it for the story. You watch it for the setting. You watch it for the characters. Etc. If you just wanted to watch giant robots trash each other, then Code Geass would most definitely fill that need. More so than some Gundam shows even, like Turn A.

>That's the difference because "mecha anime" and "anime occasionally featuring robots".
You haven't explained anything so don't pretend you did. Just stating your opinion "Code Geass isn't a mech show! The show doesn't revolve around mechs!" and then replying to arguments by saying "Tell that to /m/ and see what they think!" doesn't prove or mean anything. In any case...

>anime occasionally featuring robots
There is a higher frequency of mechs in Code Geass than there is in some Gundam series or Macross series. Quit pretending there isn't a plethora of mechs and mech fights in Code Geass. Have you even watched it? Have you even watched all the Gundam and Macross series? You must not have, because you are being nonsensical.

>Just stating your opinion
Dammit dude, Gundam and Macross have mech names in the title. You can replace the robots with planes or tanks and these series will still be "mecha anime". But if you remove the mech element completely, the series are dead.

In Code Geass you can do all the fighting off screen or remove the mechs completely and nothing will change, because the series doesn't depend on giant robots fighting things.
In Gundam the story mainly revolves around mechas. In CG it focuses on plenty of things that aren't mechas, like mindgames, character development, supernatural stuff, etc...

CG isn't a pure mecha anime like Gundam, that's the only thing I say, because you seem to think that if I had to assign a genre category to Code Geass, I would omit "mecha".

>Gundam and Macross have mech names in the title.
...So? I didn't realise the requirement to being a mech anime was to have your series named after a mech. You realise the vast majority of mechs, and the mechs characters pilot in Macross are not called 'Macross' right?

>You can replace the robots with planes or tanks and these series will still be "mecha anime"
Actually, no, they wouldn't be. Unless you don't understand what a mecha anime is.

>But if you remove the mech element completely, the series are dead.
Why, exactly? In Macross Frontier for example, they aren't even fighting other mechs, they are fighting aliens. They don't need to have mechs to do that. In Macross 7, Basara doesn't even really fight, he just sings to enemies.

>In Code Geass you can do all the fighting off screen or remove the mechs completely and nothing will change
A ton of the important scenes and plot takes place during mech battles. The fact Lelouch can sit in his special mech that makes him somewhat impervious is rather necessary, and allows him to be on the front lines. There are numerous things you couldn't do if it was just infantry, and the series would be abysmal if all the battles took place off screen.

>In CG it focuses on plenty of things that aren't mechas, like mindgames, character development, supernatural stuff, etc...
So do many mech shows.

>CG isn't a pure mecha anime like Gundam, that's the only thing I say
Gundam isn't a pure mecha either. There are plenty of episodes of Gundam series that don't feature mechs at all.

You take everything too literally.

And yes, even if you replace robots with planes in Macross it will still be a mecha anime. Just like Yukikaze is also mecha. And if you remove planes from Yukikaze it won't be Yuikikaze anymore.

The point, once again, is that there are series where mechas play a critical part, and Code Geass is not one of those. You don't watch it for the mecha aspect, but for all the other things CG stands for. It has "mecha" in its genre list, but you won't recommend it to someone asking for more Gundam/Macross/Yukikaze/Eva/...

It's like calling a show "slice of life" just because the characters interact with each other on a regular basis.

Excellent argument. I see you've perfectly failed to actually address anything. At the end of the day, everything you've said, basically comes down to "Code Geass isn't a mech anime because I say so".

>even if you replace robots with planes in Macross it will still be a mecha anime.
Mecha anime is robots, with a distinction being made between super robots and real robots. Planes and tanks are not robots. Yukikaze is not a mecha anime.

>It has "mecha" in its genre list, but you won't recommend it to someone asking for more Gundam/Macross/Yukikaze/Eva/...
This is just completely stupid. Mech shows can be completely different from each other while still being mech shows. For example, if someone just watched Eva, would you really recommend them Macross 7? Just because they are both mech shows? Of course not.

>Excellent argument.
Yes, because you miss the point completely.

>Mecha anime is robots
Yukikaze has mecha, just like Code Geass. "Mecha" doesn't only mean "Robots", no matter what Wikipedia tought you. Strike Witches can also be tagged/categorized as mecha for example but it's not what the series focuses on.

>Code Geass isn't a mech anime because I say so
Code Geass isn't a mecha-centric anime. That's the only thing I'm saying.
It's pretty obvious though, I keep using very simple examples. If you remove Knightmares from CG, not much will change. But if you remove the supernatural or the mindgames elements, then it wouldn't be Code Geass anymore.

It should be easy to understand which elements are secondary and which are not. Every series has character development episodes, but it doesn't automatically label them as Slice of Life.
