An Abbreviated History of Mecha Part 1: The Mighty Atomic Prelude (The 50's and 60's)

Welcome to An Abbreviated History of Mecha anime. Today, we're starting at, as Fraulein Maria would say, at the very beginning. We're taking a quick peak at the beginning of the canon, which means that we're starting back in 1950 (specifically 1952). I should also confess right now: there are two series on here that are demonstrably NOT mecha shows. However, due to their sheer influence on Japanese media as a whole, I feel it is important to bring them up as being honorary mecha shows due to their sheer influence pop culture.

Tetsuwan Atom/Mighty Atom/Astro Boy (1952)

Starting us off is Osamu Tezuka's seminal manga series, Mighty Atom. Known over here in the west as Astro Boy, this series would be what kickstarts a lot of the modern anime and manga industry due to its sheer popularity. Astro Boy would also be one of two series that would be emblematic of how Japanese pop culture would portray the recent use of atomic energy. It should also be worth noting that realizing that Astro technically is a mecha is what got me to start using a broader definition of mecha instead of the classic giant robot definition.

Due to its fame, Mighty Atom has receive multiple adaptations throughout the years. Of note are:

The original 1963 anime.

New Mighty Atom (1980) which updates the series to 1980's animation standards.

The 2003 anime, which does the same, but to the standards of early 2000's anime.

The 2009 CGI movie.

Gojira/Godzilla (1954, honorary mecha series 1)

1954 would also give us Ishiro Honda's Godzilla, the movie that would make tokusatsu-styled live action stories in Japan. Godzilla, alongside RKO's King Kong, would play a large part in popularizing the concept of kaiju. And boy will kaiju play a big part in the history of the mecha canon. As we'll see soon enough, the history of tokusatsu heroes, kaiju, and robots are all intertwined with one another.

Godzilla has starred in numerous movies since the original, but for stories based off of the original there are:

Godzilla Raids Again (1955), a direct sequel.

Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: All Out Monsters Attack (2001), a Heisei-era production that uses the original '54 Godzilla as a manifestation of the horrors of World War II.

Shin Godzilla (2016), a re-imagining of the original movie set in contemporary times directed by Hideakki Anno.

Godzilla Minus One (2023), the most recent outing inspired in part by GMK.

Tetsujin 28-go/Gigantor (1956)

(Oh hey, this gif again!)

Tetsujin 28-go is the creation of one Mitsuteru Yokoyama and is generally regarded as the grandfather of the giant robot style of mecha. Tetsujin is unique amongst mecha in that it is controlled not by a pilot riding inside of it, but by a little kid with a controller. Tetsujin 28, alongside Mazinger Z, would help to codify a lot of the tropes common to the classic superhero mecha anime that would be prevalent in the 70's. Like Mighty Atom, Tetsujin would receive multiple adaptations throughout the decades.

Shin Tetsujin 28-Go/The New Adventures of Gigantor (1980), which updates Tetsujin's design to look more in line with something like Mazniger Z.

Tetsujin 28-go FX (1992), sporting a radically different look that's more akin to something out of the Brave Franchise.

Tetsujin 28 (2004), a faithful adaptation of the original manga (at least I think it is) directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa.

Cyborg 009 (1964)

Created by Shotaro Ishinomori in 1964, Cyborg 009 is another classic human-sized mecha series. Cyborg 009 would be the first of many hits for Ishinomori, and he will be mentioned again later in this series.

Oh boy... I am not a Cyborg 009 nut, but in terms of adaptations, Cyborg 009 has:

The 1966 Film

The 1980 Film

009 Re:Cyborg (2012)

The Call For Justice Trilogy (2016)

The 1968 Anime

The 1979-1980 Anime

The 2001-2002 Anime (I actually remember when Toonami aired this series!)

Cyborg 009 vs Devilman (2015 OVA)

If you want to follow someone who follows a lot of Shotaro Ishinomori's works, I'd recommend checking out YouTuber Mercury Falcon for more info about Ishinomori.

Ultra Q and Ultraman (1966, honorary mecha series 2)

(The urge to use a gif of Ingraman is strong)

Ultra Q and Ultraman are the first two entries of Tsuburaya's legendary Ultra franchise, with the latter in particular being one of the most famous pop culture icons of all time. Ultraman's influence on Japanese media is so large, that I'll be mentioning it at least once in relation to other series later on.

Ultraman, like Godzilla before him, would get the Hideaki Anno treatment with Shin Ultraman in 2022.

Giant Robo/Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot (1967)

Another one of Mitsuteru Yokoyama's classic manga series, Giant Robo deserves a mention due to its influence on tokusatsu. Giant Robo would usher in an era of tokusatsu that would rely on using giant robots as the main protagonist.

In terms of adaptations, there are two animated adaptations, but only one will be listed here:

GR: Giant Robo (2007)

If you want to learn a little bit more about the history behind Giant Robo, I'd recommend checking out blunova's video on Giant Robo for more info on this important series.

Conclusion

As the 60's would lead way into the 70's, we would see a lot more live action tokusatsu series involving giant robots. Of course, this would be untenable due to how expensive it was to do tokusatsu effects for television. However, one robot would appear in animation that would change everything.

(Read in the voice of Tessho Genda) AND ITS NAME IS...!!!!

[quietfounder]

I didn't want to do this because I already have one fanchild I created and don't really do anything with that I didn't want to make another one, but I did for shellshocked and I'm gonna make it everyone's problem.

If you all remember one of the AUs I talked about where Miles and Mikey were roommates, this would take place in that world.

Prepare yourselves for a bunch of incomplete ideas that are subject to change.

Okay to start off, this yokai mad scientist managed to steal DNA from Mikey and Miles (don't ask me how) in order to create an army of mutant super-soldiers with the abilities of the web-slinging hero and one of the most powerful mystic users for some reason. I specifically had it be a yokai to justify how they were able know of Mikey and steal his DNA. (I had the Dark Turtles from TMNT 2003 on my mind when thinking of the concept)

Once they get tipped off about what's happening, the two subdue the scientist and destroy any traces of their genetic material when they come across a baby clone already in development. They make the quick decision to free him from his containment and bring him back to their place.

**Unnecessary side note: The kid isn't a newborn. He's at least a few months old, old enough to be able to sit up on his own. I just wanted to clarify that.**

They wait at least a week before they introduce AJ (shellshocked kid) to their families.

They wanted to make sure he was okay and that he would be y'know stable, so they went to the Spider Society (in my opinion they owe Miles) to see if he was healthy and what abilities they could expect he would develop.

They also went to Draxum since he is like the go-to person for all things mystics.

Outside of all those people, Miles' parents are the first to meet AJ.

So officially, his full name is AJ Dario Hamato-Morales.

Originally, I wanted AJ to be short for Aaron Jefferson, but then I thought about it some more and liked the names Amari Jasper (or Jackson) better.

August was also considered a name because I thought it would be cute for his other nickname to be Auggie, but since I've seen August used as a name mainly for April's parents in fics I thought not to.

I guess I should talk about Mikey and Miles relationship. They're in their mid-20s and are roommates (in Brooklyn, NY), but they're also in this weird pre-dating stage where they're practically together but are (not so) oblivious to how they feel and act with each other. I'm just gonna say this all happens before they officially have a first date.

Now to get into my headcanons for AJ:

** Has a Mothra plushie.

** Looks human but possesses some of the traits of both a spider and turtle.

Able to wall-crawl. (Hadn't decided if he has spider-sense)

Able to secrete venom which can temporarily immobilize a person when bitten. Mikey and Miles are the only ones immune to it.

Gets a bit sluggish when really cold.

Does not have shell to retract into but instead bundles up in blankets or hoodies to feel safe.

** Was able to float a lot when younger. When older, has to relearn how to do that whenever he wants to.

** Has a Spider-Bot like the ones from the Disney Junior show Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Gifted one when he was 6 or 7 years old.

I want to say that Miles made the bot but had help from Lunella (yes I'm still on about that rottmntxmarvel crossover).

** Miles remained in contact with Miles 42/Miles G, so AJ knows him as "Uncle Milo."

[hibiscera]

Also, the closer I get to Drury’s appearances post-2000, I find more and more issue with people who call TT Killer Moth “barely Killer Moth” when… man. Look. Drury’s appearances up until Underworld Unleashed were pretty flat, with the exception of like, Shadow of the Bat.

I think some of the only comics where he REALLY stood out before those were the Batman Family comics, where we see them really lean into the moth theming. I could be wrong, but between Underworld Unleashed and Batgirl Year One, I don’t… think there were any non-Charaxes appearances between that super stood out? Aside from Robin Year One, but that was brief.

I did say Batgirl Year One came before his TT debut (February 14th, 2004), but the comic was being published throughout 2003, and with the episode airing early 2004 they were probably being worked on at about the same time, without much knowledge of the other.

What I’m trying to get at is, it feels weird to call him barely Killer Moth when there wasn’t much Killer Moth established to begin with at the time of the episode being made, and it was during the Charaxes period.

I dunno I guess it bothers me since I love that take on him and it combines a lot of my favorite elements of his canon appearances. Plus Derrick basing him directly on Mothra + Kamen Rider now that I’m aware of that. 😭 It was the most being done with him in a while alongside Batgirl Year One.

He’s not like other more popular characters who had way more to work with at the time, I dunno!!

[rain-waifu]

Some time ago i posted on my personal/league rambling account that it would be cool if Mothra and Pyke were fused concepts. Im not good at designing skins nor making clothes be sensical but i wanted to give it a try anyway <3 A Mothra Pyke. Mostly inspired by Heisei Mothra and the 2019 GKOTM Mothra, with a bit of the 2003 Mothra.

In this context Pyke, instead of being a revengeful undead (keeping it quite too short for my liking), is a guardian of nature and life, able to rebirth and to sacrifice himself when needed.

I guess this can work as faire court aswell? Summer fairy? Anyway <3

sooo now that it's over a day after, it's not that exciting to explain how it happened but !! It's a time of the year when different universities in my country host a two-day kind of festivals and there was one with some really iconic bands from my childhood. So, obviously, I wanted to go. But I didn't really have anyone to go with. So I didn't. Anddd yesterday some smallest, most unimportant decisions led me to the park where said festival took place?? I had no idea it was there bdhxb And, above all, I was there literally 5 minutes before said favourite band. I was with my brother and we didn't go in, but we could hear everything from outside and we could see the screens too. When we were standing, we could even see the stage~ Sooo that was super fun🩷 I must've been a really good person in my previous life lol

Godzilla 60: Complete Guide (Magazine House Mook): Página 81-83

「ゴジラ×メガギラス G消滅 作戦』(00年) “Godzilla x Megaguirus G Annihilation Operation” (2000)

身長55m Height 55m 体重2万5千t Weight 25,000 tons

作品の冒頭に、54年に初めて 出現したゴジラであることが説 明されるが、そのまま倒されず人類に災害を与え続けたことか ら、昭和の初代ゴジラとは関連 性はないと思われる。形態は、前作『ゴジラ2000ミレニア ム』に登場したゴジラと酷似している。人類が対G兵器として開発した「ディメンション・タイド (小型ブラックホール砲)」によって、ブラックホールへと吸い込まれる危機に見舞われる。また同時に、ブラックホール砲実験中に発生した次元の裂け目より出現した、古代昆虫メガニューラにより体内エネルギーを吸収され、それにより超進化を遂げた巨大昆虫メガギラスと対決した。その巨体にもかかわらず、メガギラスに対し、ジャンプの後ボディプレスを見舞うなど、運動能力が高いと思われる。At the beginning of the work, it is explained that it was Godzilla that first appeared in 1954, but since it was not defeated and continued to cause disasters to mankind, it seems that it has no connection with the first Godzilla of the Showa era. The form is very similar to Godzilla that appeared in the previous work “Godzilla 2000 Millennium.” Mankind is in danger of being sucked into a black hole by the “Dimension Tide (small black hole cannon)” developed as an anti-G weapon. At the same time, he confronted the giant insect Megaguirus, which had undergone super-evolution due to the absorption of internal energy by the ancient insect Meganula, which emerged from the dimensional rift that occurred during the black hole cannon experiment. Despite its huge size, it seems to have high athletic ability, such as hitting the body press after jumping against Megaguirus.

前作と別個体と分類したが、同じ造型物を使用しているので、画面からは違いは感じられない。I classified it as a separate body from the previous work, but since the same molding is used, I can not feel the difference from the screen.

『ゴジラ・モスラ・キングギドラ 大怪獣総攻撃』 (01年) “Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack” (2001)

身長600m Height 600m 体重3万t Weight 30,000 tons

54年に初めて出現した個体と同種族とされているが、黒目が なく、生命体としての意思をほ とんど感じさせない。一説には、戦没者の残留思念の集合体ともいわれ、ゴジラの姿を借りた、 妖怪、霊魂などの超自然的な存 在とも解釈できる。対抗する護国聖獣バラゴン、モスラ、キングギドラを容赦なく攻め、蒸発させるまで熱線を浴びせるほどの残忍さを持つ。最期は、自らの核エネルギー爆発により四散するも、残された心臓が鼓動を始めたことから「復活」を予感される。It is said to be of the same species as the individual that first appeared in 1954, but it has no dark eyes and hardly any sense of its own will as a living organism. According to one theory, it is said to be a collection of the remaining thoughts of the war dead, and it can be interpreted as a supernatural existence such as a yokai or a spirit that borrows the appearance of Godzilla. It is brutal enough to mercilessly attack the opposing Sacred Beasts, Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah, showering them with heat rays until they evaporate. At the end, it is scattered by its own nuclear energy explosion, but the remaining heart begins to beat, giving a premonition of “resurrection.”

初代ゴジラの属性を踏襲する、完全なる悪の権化。「ジョーズ」 『エイリアン』にも繋がる殺戮マシンともいえるゴジラは、全 作品を通して見ても異色といえる。本当に「怖いゴジラ」を欲していたモンスターマニアは歓喜したことだろう。A complete evil incarnation that follows the attributes of the original Godzilla. Godzilla, which can be said to be a killing machine that also leads to “Jaws” and “Alien,” can be said to be unique in all works. Monster enthusiasts who really wanted a “scary Godzilla” would have been delighted.

「ゴジラ×メカゴジラ』(02年)、『ゴジラ×モスラ×メカゴジラ 東京SOS』(03年) “Godzilla x MechaGodzilla” (2002), “Godzilla x Mothra x MechaGodzilla Tokyo SOS” (2003)

身長55m Height 55m 体重2万5千t Weight 25,000t

54年に出現した初代ゴジラが滅んだ後に現れた、2代目ゴジ ラという設定の個体。『ゴジラの逆襲」で現れた2代目ゴジラとは無関係である。An individual set as the second Godzilla that appeared after the first Godzilla that appeared in 1954 was destroyed. It has nothing to do with the second Godzilla that appeared in “Godzilla Raids Again.”

東京湾の海底に残された初代ゴジラの骨(初代ゴジラは骨までも溶解され液化されたが、この作品では骨は残されていたという設定)から生み出された多目的戦闘システム、メカゴジラ、 別名「3式機龍」と戦った。機龍の最終兵器「絶対零度砲アブ ソリュートゼロ」の攻撃を受け戦意を喪失させられ海へ逃れた。MechaGodzilla, also known as “MechaGodzilla,” is a multi-purpose battle system created from the bones of the original Godzilla left on the seabed of Tokyo Bay (even the bones of the original Godzilla were dissolved and liquefied, but in this work the bones were left behind). “3-Type Kiryu” and fought. He lost his fighting spirit after being attacked by Kiryu’s ultimate weapon, the Absolute Zero Cannon, and fled to the sea.

ゴジラに一度は勝利した人類 は、突如現れたインファント島の守護神モスラの、死者の魂を冒涜しているとされる機龍の破の要求を保留にし、再度、機龍によるゴジラ掃討作戦を展開する。ゴジラは機龍の相打ち覚 悟の攻撃に屈し、機龍の機体とともに太平洋へとその姿を沈めていった。After defeating Godzilla once, humanity puts on hold Mothra, the guardian deity of Infant Island who suddenly appeared, to destroy Kiryu, which is said to be desecrating the souls of the dead. expand. Godzilla succumbs to Kiryu’s counterattack attack and sinks into the Pacific Ocean together with it.

『ゴジラ×モスラ×メカゴジラ 東京SOS』にて、ゴジラ史上とても印象深いシーンが展開される。機龍は、初代ゴジラの骨から作られた、いわばゴジラの分身とでもいうべき存在。そのマシンが、まるで「ジャイアン トロボ」の最終回よろしく、自分の意思を発動させゴジラを抱きかかえ太平洋へともに沈ま んとするその時、誤って機内に取り残された、自分を整備し続けた技術者に対しディスプレイを通して別れの言葉を贈るシーンがある。これは、機龍に搭載されているコンピュータの言葉として解釈するのが自然であろう。し��しながら、ゴジラが人間に対し初めて交流を示した、とも解釈できる不思議な余韻を残す��面だ。それは、ゴジラを支えてきたファンに対するメッセージと解釈し、胸を熱くする のもあながち間違った行為ではあるまい。At “Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla Tokyo SOS,” a very impressive scene in the history of Godzilla will be developed. Kiryu is an existence that can be called Godzilla’s alter ego, so to speak, made from the bones of the original Godzilla. Just like the final episode of “Giant Robot,” the machine is about to activate its own will and hold Godzilla in its arms as it sinks into the Pacific Ocean. On the other hand, there is a scene where you give farewell words through the display. It would be natural to interpret this as the language of the computer installed in Kiryu. However, it is a scene that leaves a mysterious afterglow that can be interpreted as Godzilla’s first interaction with humans. It’s not a mistake to interpret it as a message to the fans who have supported Godzilla, and to make his heart warm.

「ゴジラ FINAL WARS』(04年) “Godzilla FINAL WARS” (2004)

身長100m Height 100m 体重5万5千t Weight 55,000 tons

昭和、平成vsシリーズとは無関係な時間軸に存在するものである。54年に出現して以来、人類を苦しめ続けていた。その理由は、昭和シリーズと同様に核兵器使用に対する怒りからだ。海底軍艦「轟天」との南極での決戦時に突然起こった地震と、轟天の機転により氷の中に閉じ込められてしまう。地球を牧場化しようと、突如襲来したX星人が操る怪獣軍団に対抗すべく人類によって復活させられ、地球最強の怪獣として怪獣軍団を掃討する。X星人の最終兵器、宇宙最強超怪獣カイザーギドラに勝利した後、人類に対する怒りを一旦治め、人類の前から姿を消す。Godzilla 2004 exists on a time axis unrelated to the Showa and Heisei vs series. Since its appearance in 1954, it has continued to torment mankind. The reason for this is, like the Showa series, anger at the use of nuclear weapons. During the decisive battle in Antarctica with the submarine warship “Gotengo”, an earthquake suddenly occurred and Gotengo’s quick wit caused him to be trapped in ice. He was revived by mankind to counter the monster army corps manipulated by the X-aliens who suddenly attacked the earth to make the earth a pasture, and wiped out the monster army corps as the strongest monster on earth. After defeating X-alien’s ultimate weapon, Keizer Ghidorah, the strongest super-monster in the universe, he calms down his anger against humanity and disappears from the sight of humanity.

怪獣アクションにもスピード感をもたせるという意図からか、ゴジラをはじめ多くの怪獣たちのアクションが擬人化されている。ガイガン、モンスターXを始め怪獣たちのバトルは、まるで格闘技を見るかのようだ。賛 否の別れる部分かもしれない。The actions of many monsters, including Godzilla, are anthropomorphized, perhaps with the intention of giving the monster action a sense of speed. Gigan, Monster X and other kaiju battles are like watching martial arts. This may be a part of which we may disagree.
