Mecha (alternatively: mech, mechs) is a science fiction genre, that centres around robots or machines. These machines vary greatly in size, shape and appearance. Some are little more than cars with arms and legs, while others are giant humanoid constructs. Difference sub-genres exist, with varying connotations of realism. Super Robot and Real Robot are two such examples found in Japanese anime.
The Japanese word for mech is "mecha" which is derived from the Japanese abbreviation meka (メカ?) for the English word "mechanical". In Japanese, mecha encompasses all mechanical objects, including cars, guns, computers, and other devices. In this sense, it is extended to humanoid, human-sized robots and such things as the boomers from Bubblegum Crisis, the similar replicants of Blade Runner, and cyborgs can be referred to as mecha, as well as mundane real-life objects such as industrial robots, cars and even toasters. The Japanese use the term "robots" (ロボット, robotto?) or "giant robots" to distinguish limbed vehicles from other mechanical devices. One prominent example is the anime Maziger Z, where the term "Super Robot", features in the Japanese theme song.

Genres: Drama, Romance,Maybe I've been hurt
Maybe I've been saved for something worse
can't say
If you asked me now
what's in a crowd?
there's thousands of faces
with thousands of ways to be hurt for free
But this I know I always make the friends that never
stay
I always make the friends that never stay
Feelings can't be felt
I couldn't let the ground beneath me melt.
Not me
They spread things about
they twist things around
the mask is a screen till the whispers are so loud they
hurt
I tried to stay
That someone could of made up something so cruel
that someone could of poisoned that last mouthful of
that someone could of played with something untrue
that took such delight in the last breath of you
Couldn't bear to stay
Couldn't tear away
is that emotional
or reproachable
But this I know
I always make amends when it's too late
I always make amends when it's too late
Was there something I could of said
Something I did
Someone I could of called
Something I read
They spread things about
they twist things around
the mask is a screen till the whispers are so loud they
hurt
I tried to stay
That someone could of made up something so cruel
that someone could of poisoned that last mouthful of
that someone could of played with something untrue
