There are three consecutive example sections, none of which match the description and some of which contradict. I guess... it was merged from two or more pages, badly? Can anybody shed some light?

Why are they broken up like that? DQZ, what's going on?

It was originally a trope transplant job. The old trope is over on Impossibly Graceful Giant now.

How do none of the examples match the description?

What's the difference between the first and last groups?

The last category is a completely different trope. I'm not sure what, or if we have it, but its not the trope as described up top.

The first two categories are ok, but probably need some cleanup, and probably don't need to be two categories.

Oh, it's Impossibly Graceful Giant that got left on the Motion-Capture Mecha page. I'd merge the top two categories, after cleaning it out. For instance, Code Geass is not an example, the mecha are controlled with joysticks and trackballs and shit.

The first part seems to be mechs actually controlled using some kind of motion censor.

The third part of the trope seems to be examples where Motion Capture and such was actually used for animating the Mech or in the Toku examples guys in a suit. (At least I think.)

Which is what was supposed to be on Impossibly Graceful Giant, as that was the original definition. Full Metal Panic should probably be on both.

This one still needs fixing.

Description compacted, examples in description deleted, examples sifted through. Need to correct any wiks, otherwise I'm hollering.
