Idk wtf ever happened to all my toys, just one day I didn’t have any. My parents basically incinerated anything i had so I have basically nothing left of my childhood than my memories.

Kilograms of plastic toys I’d love to post here lol. I miss my gundams and transformers. The transformers toys were PEAK

I did manage to get some gen 1 bionicles back tho

    Any particular reason for this?

    Hmm, well I’ve never evaluated my avoidance. Let’s see…I have watched a couple anime that had them in it and something about them just bugs me. Maybe i just don’t like war stories in general, which the mecha genre is a subset of generally. But i also tried Fullmetal Panic because I’m a romance fan and i bounced off hard.

    If you forced me to think on it further? it’s probably that i just don’t think giant robots are cool (I know, i know, sacrilege haha). It probably sounds crazy that a giant kickass robot doesn’t add anything exciting to the table for me, but they just… dont?

    I tried! I don’t know if i answered you though.

      Nah, that’s valid. I took interest in Star Wars at an early age, so space wars just work for me I guess shrug-outta-hecks

      I’d double down on the Turn A Gundam recommendation if you find yourself looking to try something outside what you usually watch! It’s still a war story, but it does things in a pretty unique way.
