Mamoru Oshii directed Votoms movie - let’s gooooooooooooooooo
Votoms has always been in my bucket list to watch since it influenced Front Mission which was one of my teenager games I used to obsess over.
It’s pretty cool (and has a bunch of sequel OVAs that are pretty fun).
If you want to dip your toe in it, I’d recommend the spinoff OVA Armor Hunter Mellowlink. It’s a bit of a thin revenge plot, but it’s centered around a regular ass dude on foot fighting against mechs.
Oshii is not as good as he was in the old days, and his politics have gotten way worse, but maybe he’s still got it in him to make a good mechanime.
I know - I’m wholly expecting something extremely mid, but it’s exciting to see new Oshii and new Votoms in general lol
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
