This robot is hot in Japan.
This is not a stop-motion movie. The robot is controlled by a microcomputer
that handles its complicated movements. Cute and great, right?
I admit it was a mistake to go to see Transformers Revenge… Anyways, this site said that the 'Akira' project is dead. Leonardo DiCaprio gave up on it? I was looking forward to seeing Kaneda’s bike.
Do you know these people? They are very well known foreigners on the internet in Japan, but nobody knows their names. We have a well known joke tool: "gaijin 4 koma generator" (foreigner 4 frame generator). Basically, we use it to make 4-frame cartoons like this. Since it is a very popular generator, we have stock images like this absence of leader, crying, mask, being drawn up to heaven. Some made a rounding up site, some made ascii art. If those guys knew they were so famous in Japan, they would be shocked.
