I feel a little sad writing this because this is a super robot trilogy that I never knew existed until it went out of print. Discotek was the publisher which released all three of the J9 trilogy (by Kokusai Eiga-sha in the early 1980’s) and the weird thing was these were pulled from print almost immediately. I mean like months after the first series was released on blu-ray in the United States.…

An Aftermath of Go Nagai vs Toei After the rights fiasco of Go Nagai suing Toei for removing his name from Dino Mech Gaiking for the royalties, there was a long legal battle between the two. All of which meant that Toei still held the rights for a lot of Go Nagai’s properties for a while and Go Nagai moved over to Studio Knack for a while. You know, the studio that produced the horrible and meme…

The Last Big Mecha March (At least for now) I hinted about this on my blogiversary post, but this is going to be the last major Mecha March on Mechanical Anime Reviews. At least for the coming future. That doesn’t mean it’s going to stop, but I can’t keep going through multiple fifty episodes or series and write about them each year. Next year in 2025 and beyond that, Mecha March is going to…

Announcing Mecha March 2024 Surprise, Mecha March 2024 is on its way here once again. It’s an annual event where I mostly ignore Gundam and look at, depending on how much you dig into the world of mecha, more obscure titles that need more attention. You can kind of tell some idea of what the general theme I am going for is even if it’s a bit more chaotic. A post about Mecha March will appear on…

Last year, I never got around to ever recapping the adventure that it was. Especially regarding where the series went and what it explored last time. So this time, I want to at least share the whole adventure from beginning to end. I am not sure if this will be very interesting or fascinating, but I really want to do this anyway. Especially since this entire competition this year went in some…

Welcome to the Mecha March Recap week! Well, you can just look at all of my posts to see what I posted this month on this blog. For now, I want to share what other people have posted this month even if they aren’t Mecha March related. For all the people I follow and for all the time that I have available to read other people’s posts, this is the best that I can do.  If you posted about mecha…

Localization Talk and Other Stuff I’m looking at this post wondering if I even have to write anything about it. Then I thought about it. This season of Mecha March needed a show that had what people call the more idealized sort of localization. The one where the show got the voice cast it needed without any major sorts of censoring and it was popular on television. Not just popular in Japan, but…
