#mechamarch2023

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…

Surprise? If you haven’t been a part of Mecha March before, then you wouldn’t know that the last week of March is usually when I have a post about the mecha series that aired during the previous year. In this case, what series am I supposed to talk about? The last, but fantastic episodes of 86 part 2? The mediocre AMAIM series that Irina and I reviewed weekly last year? Muv Luv Alternative that…

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…

So here we are, it’s the final round for Mecha Madness 2023. I don’t know how we got here with these choices, but it makes me so happy to see it happen like this. All of these choices are good and worthy of attention and giving them a watch there too. Please select which one you think deserves each award and we shall see what happens in the end here. Just know that Patlabor is waiting on the…

No Legitimate Localization To balance this talk of localization talks, Fighbird has had no legitimate effort to be put into the west at all. Is this just an excuse to post about another brave series for Mecha March for the third time in a row? Yes, yes it is. But at least I think this excuse has some weight. Localizations matter and you can tell why that is the truth. Who knows what the brave…

Round 2 Link I have heard many people say that this is tough, but here is the thing. People choose their favorite mecha anime from the list of anime I chose. How is each match not going to be tough? Sure, I am at fault for choosing what order shows are in, but each match is going to be tough anyway. If these weren’t people’s favorite shows, then this wouldn’t even be worth doing in the first…

Round 2 Is Here:

I have heard many people say that this is tough, but here is the thing. People choose their favorite mecha anime from the list of anime I chose. How is each match not going to be tough? Sure, I am at fault for choosing what order shows are in, but each match is going to be tough anyway. If these weren't people's favorite shows, then this wouldn't even be worth doing in the first place honestly. This is a celebration, not a complete competition.

The Selection of Shows for Mecha March 2023 I have already discussed the major concept behind this mecha march in my previous post, but a quick summary is that I am basing the shows that I chose or this session on the concept of localization. That means they either had an interesting release in English, had no release, or had the perfect release. I want the entire sampling of it. I want examples…
