Opinion? I liked it. The article was informative and it concerned anime that I
really enjoyed as youngster. Thanks much for finding it and sharing it here.
Mecha anime, figures. I can think of at least two other anime series (or movies)
that could pass that criteria. I didn't know I knew so much about retro anime, I
recognised all but 1 of those titles. Very interesting article.
I find that article very lacking. The only one of those that was truely ground
breaking was Mobile Suit Gundam for starting the "realistic robot"
genre from the exsisting "super robot" types, Macross just followed in
Gundam's footsteps. And Eva was just another "super robot" type series
with a monster of the week, it did nothing new or pioneering either. And the
influences for Gundam were Starship Troopers and Star Wars, not the Lensman
Saga, Tomino has stated this himself.
Where are the anime that started the other genres, the "Exotic
girlfriend" started by Urusei
Yatsura, which a number of series like "Ah My Goddess",
"Girls Bravo", "Chobits" and "DearS" can probably
be traced back to UY. What about the "Harem" genre which most point to
Tenchi Muyo as the first of this kind,
and now there's "Love Hina", "Maburaho", "He is My
Master" and "Negima".

I have to agree, this isn't a great article. those 4 animes are all Mechas. What about the others?
