Japanese techies fire up century-old mecha
Fortean blog Mysterytopia takes note of an 80-year-old Japanese robot built for the Japanese emperor Hirohito in 1928. According to Mysterytopia, the animatronic oddity was misplaced in Germany before eventually being returned to Japan where it was retrofitted with modern innards and brought back to life.
Watching the video (embedded below, courtesy once again of Mysterytopia) I’m reminded of the parade scene in Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, also included so you don’t have to scour YouTube yourself.
