Why Is It (Almost) Always Three? Small Unit Organization in Gundam and Macross

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: March 9, 2010
If you’ve watched enough of the two biggest mecha franchises you might have noticed that most mecha teams seem to operate in units of three, when they do operate in coherent units.

Yet another random post from a random ghost

By Impz | Published: November 20, 2009
The AFA 09 in Singapore is here again, and I was thankful that they actually emailed me to offer me a media pass. Honestly, work has been so tiring these days that I had to sadly ignore NovaJinx’s calls on Friday because of intensive meetings at work. On a pleasant note, I didn’t expect the [...]

Editorial: Empires in Anime

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: September 18, 2009

Looking at Japan’s history with being an empire and encountering others, here’s a rather too long post about how I see history perhaps influencing anime in the portrayal of different kinds of empires.
