Well, they keep sending kids to do dangerous jobs like piloting mechas and becoming magical girls, now there is only old people left

I just finally started watching Gundam and damn do they love putting those kids in mechas. Zeta seems to follow the trend and I guess the other series do too lol.

Evangelion at least tried to provide a plot reason for why the pilots all had to be young teenagers. Skimped a bit on explaining why all the support staff were in their twenties except for the two older dudes at the top tho...
