The excellent Folding Ideas video where he suggests that the narrative structure of Crank is that of a video game, with all the deaths and restarts that didn't "really happen" excised, so in review it's just one unstoppable guy constantly winning
Super Robot vs Real Robot is a known subgenre distinction that OP misses entirely by just having one big bucket labelled "mecha anime". This is one step up from "you see 'western cartoons' like The Simpsons are funny, whereas 'anime' has fighting and power up sequences"
