super robot
Super Robot (スーパーロボット Sūpā Robotto) is an old genre of anime focused in giant robot mecha with super powers.
It originated in (then) very famous and influential TV shows like Tetsujin 28-Gou from the 1960s and the Mazinger Z series created by Nagai Gou in the early 1970s. While not as popular as it was during its beginnings, it still continues to this day.
It evolved into the more realistic Real Robot (リアルロボット Riaru Robotto) anime genre started by Tomino Yoshiyuki's Mobile Suit Gundam in the late 1970s and early 1980s_(style). This genre also continues to this day.
