The future is coming

I’m feeling pretty sick this weekend so I”m not going to even try and write anything intelligent.

After years of watching anime and reading manga, there’s an entire image of the future out there that Japan has promised to bring the world. I always thought that Japan would be the first country to use robots on the battlefield, but Korea seems to be beating them.

Japan in space

At least they are on track to become a real space-faring nation, and after that it’s only a matter of time before the Gundam show up.

[Update!]I take that back, it looks like the Gundam prototype is already in existence. They actually have a video of it firing a gun!

Proof that if the protestors in Beijing are right and Japan really is going to remilitiarize and return to Imperialism, China will have no hope against the robot armies of the 21st century.

      I know just what you mean. Where is my robot love slave for crying out loud?!

      Well, it may not be a robotic love slave, but some otaku guy in Japan has built an anime maid girl casemod for his computer.

      More photos and building directions are here.

      Wow. That case mod is borderline pathological, what with the upskirt shots and all.
