mecha
Piloted robot genre
Mecha are giant robots or mechanical suits piloted by humans, a staple of Japanese animation and video games.
The genre emerged from anime like *Mobile Suit Gundam* and *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, featuring humanoid war machines controlled from cockpits.
Mecha can refer to the genre itself or to individual machines: I've been watching a lot of mecha lately, The pilot climbed into his mecha.
