''Pacific Rim'' is a media franchise originating from the 2013 [[Film/PacificRim live-action film of the same name]].

It is set in a world where giant {{kaiju}} emerge from the Pacific Ocean and attack humanity. In turn, humans engineer HumongousMecha called Jaegers to fight back. Piloting a Jaeger is a two-man job, requiring a deep connection between copilots. The franchise depicts the war between kaiju and humans, and explores the inner lives of various Jaeger pilots.
