More mecha love, hehe ;p
It feels in a very unique position where it’s so popular in Japan and with rich af collectors, yet not a lot of people that I come across turn out to like it

True. I dont come across many people that are that into it either...rip

I am planning a series that is basically just a love letter to various anime genres that I love and ofc, ive included mechs in that story as well!

That sounds really cool! A lot of the anime discourse always seems to be the extremely popular stuff which I don’t have a problem with obv, yet so many amazing gems are overlooked

truly.
I usually try to keep up with the new airing animes, and it seems to be the same each season, the popular ones are what everyone's talking about and there are so many gems that are completely ignored. Like yeah, the popular shows are great but can someone also give attention to the other banger shows?

Like in the newest season of anime (Spring 2026) one show that is getting overlooked by a lot of the international audience is Nippon Sangoku. It seems to be doing really well in Japan, which I'm happy about because that means we'll get a second season, most likely...but international fans are kinda missing out on Nippon Sangoku.

If you're interested in a refreshing artstyle, smart characters, politics and military strategy etc. then this show is definitely worth checking out!

I haven’t been watching anime a lot recently but I’ll definitely give that a shot! Sounds very cool.

Yeah usually Japan and the west can have very different reactions to anime, interesting how that turns out.

it was like how with jjk season 3, apparently the japanese internet really loved the explainer episode (episode 3) but Maki's episode is what broke the internet out here in the west, its so interesting.
