      I just finally started watching Gundam and damn do they love putting those kids in mechas. Zeta seems to follow the trend and I guess the other series do too lol.

        Evangelion at least tried to provide a plot reason for why the pilots all had to be young teenagers. Skimped a bit on explaining why all the support staff were in their twenties except for the two older dudes at the top tho…
