So here we have Pacific Rim: The Black, which takes place in Australia. But for your average pop culture consumer who probably never got a chance to see Evangelion before Netflix rescued it from the heap, I guess it scratches the "Who cares? Robots!" itch. I've actually watched mecha anime, so Pacific Rim can't just dangle mecha-shaped keys in my face and hold my attention. It just makes me want to watch the many things that its team of artists lovingly reference instead of another Pacific Rim. And I get that Pacific Rim represents a spotlight being forced onto a beloved nerd staple in the face of "normie" media, but the films frustrate my mecha-loving heart because outside of a bunch of loving references to classic mecha anime (The Russian pilots wore Scopedog helmets! The Precursors are literally the Dinosaur Empire from Getter Robo! Gypsy Danger functioning in an EMP field because "it's analog" is ripped straight from Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still!) Pacific Rim just doesn't do anything interesting of its own. Short story long, I grew up watching a lot of mecha, like Vandread or Patlabor or Gaogaigar or Evangelion. Long story short, I don't like Pacific Rim. I hope you folks brought kosher salt and freshly-ground pepper, because I have beef with all things Pacific Rim.
