I’m lost as well. Can’t tell what they were going for but it didn’t stick the landing.

There’s not much to it really. Mecha anime is usually not just about awesome robot fights, but is also usually a metaphor for something (Gundam=the horrors of war, Evangelion=the horrors of parent/child relationships, Macross=the horrors of Protoculture, etc).

So in the comic cuts right to the chase and asks each respective pilot what their mech represents. It turns out the answers are anti-climactic.

Yah, I got nothin

What does it do? “well, it invents questions where there weren’t any before”
