Recent updates have not included the roundup of mecha-related reading, but that’s definitely not the case today. Here are some things from around the internet that you should check out today:

• Author Magen Cubed (@MagenCubed), a frequent guest back in the Chaos Theater days, has a new essay on her personal connection to Hideaki Anno’s Rebuild of Evangelion movies.
• Animétudes (@MatteoWatz) returned to the topic of Patlabor with an in-depth essay on Patlabor 2.
• On the subject of Patlabor 2, military news site Task and Purpose posted a few months back a detailed write-up on the realism of the movie’s depiction of aerial combat.
• Finally, Mystic Eyes of Depth Perception (@TheIdeon) posted the second part in a series of articles about the creation of Tomino’s 1998 TV series Brain Power’d.
