Really pleased to get to do a contribution for this one. The first draft of my Patlabor: The New Files blurb was literally just 500 words extolling the virtues of "Seven Days of Fire" before I came to my senses.
Last month I asked friends and colleagues to tell me about an OVA they loved. I've compiled all their responses in a new article.

It's a pretty fascinating cross-section of the OVA format across three decades, but no one had the guts to say Pop Chaser.

New post on Zimmerit.moe by @fissionmale.bsky.social about mecha modeling--why we do it and the long, long history behind it.

Why do we Model? Mecha, Miniatures, and Historical Imagining
For decades, mecha fans have built model kits. What fuels this preoccupation, and what can we learn from the history of miniatures about mecha anime?
