'Pre-1192 anime was a bit primitive.' by Kara

Making a little trip tonight. Theoretically I am being paid in food, which is one of my favourite forms of currency.

Okay, just now I was going to do a massive review of Goldran and talk about how awesome it is, but I just got this sent to me:

The Toei Animation studio has launched its website for the Toei Robot Girls project with a weekly four-panel manga series on Tuesday. To promote the various works in the studio's anime catalog, the project features girls dressed as various famous Toei robots. In particular, the website and the first manga installment center on three female personifications of the robots in the Gaiking ("Gai-chan"), Magnerobo Ga-Keen ("Gacky"), and Superhuman Combat Team Baratack ("Bara-tan"). The project was first revealed at March's Tokyo International Anime Fair 2009.

In the backstory created for the project, the Toei Robot Girls Laboratory was established to protect Earth from the threat of space invasion. The laboratory gathered the data from super robots who have protected Earth in the past, and then used that research to imbue "cute girls" with their legendary powers.

... seriously, Japan, WTF.

That said, I will likely watch/read/whatever it anyway.

If you have been ... it's lupus.
