Probably getting your wires crossed with the Armageddon version of Shin Getter 1 which does have a chin

Why would he have confused Giant Robo and Shin Getter 1?

I've tried reading the Devolution manga twice and it might end up cool but the first chapter is absolute garbage and I can't make myself read on.

How's demonbane? I just remembered it existed for some reason. I don't know anything about it ezcept that the main mech becomes the size of the universe and pops it open or something and there's a vague lovecrsft theme

Demonbane to me is a mixed bag. From a Lovecraft perspective it uses Lovecraft characters and concepts but doesn't really deal much with Lovecraftian themes. Lovecraftian horror is mostly about the feeling of powerlessness against an unfathomable harmful force, and having a ggod-robot that can destroy universes as a side-effect of it doing battle kind of runs counter to that idea. From a wow cool robots perspectives it has some neat robots and fights though, and seeing Demonbane slowly acquire upgrades until it reaches godmode status is fun.

The writing is also very chuuni in a way i find charming and enjoyable, special mention goes to the robot girl that has a giant cannon that launches out of a coffin and is named Dig Me No Grave. The VN recently went on sale on JAST but it should be mentioned it is straight-up porn, so be aware of that if you intend to buy it.

Oh that reminds me, it has some incredibly good chuuni incantations:

There's stuff about Shining Heresy I like, like how Chirico is basically a saint in their religion and him coming back triggers a crisis of faith, a lot of the action is cool and the Burglarydog owns, but the stuff with Fyana pisses me off so much it just leaves me feeling bitter about the whole thing.

It's very important to get your hot takes out early so you can show how much smarter you are than everyone else.
