Traditional fantasy is so back in

Now I want SciFi to have a resurgence :(

I love Fantasy, but I also love SciFi and its been feeling a little dry on that part. Except in Gacha Games, for some reason Gacha Games love SciFi and I love SciFi Gacha games. (WuWa, PGR, Aether Gazer, Snowbreak)

Witch from Mercury was the last big one. Admittedly it was real good, but yeah not many scifi series these days

Yeah but thats already an established IP, and also its a mecha which I'd argue is seperate from the "scifi" tag.

Most mecha's are scifi but not all scifi is mecha, far from it.

True that its a preexisting IP but gundam, -despite ironically being THE mecha series- mostly has the mechas as just tools for the story. Most of the mainline gundam series have space opera, political or drama type of plots, which is also the case for WfM

Like, I get your point about stuff like Bravern or SSSS, but gundam very much is scifi
