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.
