Over the past few months I collected three metal prints for mecha-focused anime and games that were important to me.

Time Bokan was a show I watched obsessively when I was a kid in the form of the Time Fighters dub we had. The time-traveling mecha Time Mechabuton was endlessly cool to me.

A decade ago Xenoblade Chronicles X became my favorite video game and remains so now. Exploring Mira in a skell was a revelation and a stunning experience.

In 2023 and 2024 I watched Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V at a pace of an episode each week. The themes of parental sacrifice and working class resistance resonated deeply.

Interesting tradition from #manga and #anime: declare the name of your next move to freeze your opponent in shock. ^_^

#RurouniKenshin: Hiten mitsurugi ryu… double reversed rotation triple slash!
Enemy: *awestruck* *paralyzed by what they heard*

#VoltesV: Ultra magnetic top!
Foe: *shaking in fear*

#YuyuHakusho: Ray gun!
Taguro: *eyes wide in shock*

What other memorable move declarations can you remember?

I finally was able to watch episode 38 of Voltes V tonight. The revolution of Boazan labourers was stirring, and it's no wonder some goofy would-be nobels banned these episodes when they were originally airing. I'm looking forward to the final two episodes.

The 37th episode of Voltes V finally brought the protagonists to space and ended on a cliffhanger I didn't expect. The explanation of warping got a chuckle out of me.
