#MechaMarch 2020: Mecha Posts From Other Blogs

So here we are. The last day of March and Mecha March. This has been one of the business months I’ve had on this blog in a while. All of which is great considering that this is Mecha March and I wanted to make this month huge somehow. It wasn’t hard considering that most of what came out was written months ago. That being said, that’s enough babbling from me. Let’s end this month with other people’s mecha posts. The best way that I could think of putting Mecha March 2020 to a close. Yay other people’s posts :). Please enjoy.

IrdiumEyeReviews – Voice of a Distant Star Review

Here is a review on Makoto Shinkai’s first work which set in motion how he would write his other movies and stories. It’s a great ova that he animated by himself focusing on a relationship that slowly drifts apart through space time and humankind fights against an alien menace. Give it a read then watch the OVA on crunchyroll.

NeverArgueWithAFish – Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans Season 1 and 2

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans is a great anime that can set people into the route of watching Gundam and mecha anime. I liked both seasons myself, but read NeverArgueWithAFish’s post about how he loved season 1 and thought that the second season was alright.

The Animanga Spellbooks- Planet With is Crazy…But a Good Kind of Crazy


Another good review of Planet With. I’m digging the Planet With representation, everyone. While I don’t think that mecha anime has penetrated the anime community that much recently, it’s nice to see that a seasonal mecha anime somehow made a profound effect on people. This link gives you a good reason why that is.

While there may be a surprise post for Mecha March coming later today, Mecha March 2020 is officially completed. I hope you enjoyed the month that I put in a lot of work into making this month a thing. I always hope that it was worth reading everything. Until next year where another Mecha March will occur. Hopefully, it’s even bigger with even larger plans and such.
