It's anime. It has giant robots.
I imagine the pitch meeting though...
Creator: Then Roger Smith summons his giant robot which bursts up through the street and...
Producer: That seems a disruption of the narrative and a distraction from the overall plot, why does the giant robot burst up through the street now?
Creator: Because GIANT ROBOT!
Producer: I'm with you.
And in many ways that's kind of how it is. There's an episode plot, a series arc and some fights with giant robots that may, or may not, have anything to do with either. And it's OK.
There's even a half satisfying ending that "explains" the existence of the robots.
All in all, good fun and far more consistent than Pacific Rim.
Yeah, I said it. A Japanese pseudo Batman with a giant robot aimed entirely at selling toys of same is better than a giant budget hollywood CGI film. Even if the explanation for giant robots in the anime is BECAUSE GIANT ROBOT!!!eleven!!
By the way...
