Asimo can actually run (and run with people, etc). Better interface with human.

Also it won't give you nightmares :o

My first "concern" was putting it in a fashion show... especially "without clothes on". They have a highly advanced robot and there going to turn it into something for horny men to aggle at? I dont like that all.

Post by: Asellith on March 17, 2009, 02:13:14 PM: Man I wish I could remember the name of the anime I watched but the concept was a US strike team entered Japan after they closed them selves off to the world and only exported robots. They got so advanced in robotics that they discovered a way to convert people into synthetic robots through a virus. They wanted to release that virus to the world and take over. It was odd as well because it put the Japanese people in a bad light and that is unusual for an anime.

Lets hope the Japanese don't have some crazy AI robot in some military complex that will take over the world some day.

i agree with that, robots that advanced should be used for a better purpose instead of something a human can do better.

That sounds a LOT like Appleseed Ex Machina but not 100%

@Smash:
I hate to see a machine go to waste... Plus thats morally wrong in my opinion.... Why cant everyone keep their clothes on and their genitalia in their pants? Seriously >_<

Post by: HDL_CinC_Dragon on March 17, 2009, 02:48:23 PM: I agree. It also seems the less fabric used to make the garment, the more money it costs *cough*Victoria Secret*cough*. I really do hate society these days
Anyway, we need to get back on topic lol

I forgot about appleseed. That was a good anime. I'll have to look for the name of the other one because I think I watched it on netflix steaming.
