28 Manga: mecha ^[$@%a%+^[(B
Contraction of "mechanical(s)". A blanket term for any machinery, robots
or equipment. It particularly refers to "giant robots", probably first
used in the titles of some Godzilla films. Mecha design seems to have
reacheda high art for anime productions, but has been less important for
the success of manga. Contemporary manga-kas noted for their mecha designs
include Nagai Gou, Nagano Mamoru, and Masamune Shirow.
