Sex with robots: still more common than people think.

Mar 09, 2009 14:59

I've just watched a few episodes of Zettai Kareshi - a Japanese soap about a girl who is randomly selected to receive her very own sexbot. I am not sure I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't immediately pencil in a dozen exclamation points after the concept, but. But. The universe is more complete that there is a live action drama about a ( Read more... )

Chobits?

'nother one? *considers* You know, somehow, I am unsurprised it is a common theme.

My sketchy recollection is that I have heard of chobbits that the reboot button on the sexbots is located in their vadge, so that while they do not actually go there, actually, they go there all the time, for comedy purposes, and it is rather ickier than if they'd just gone there. So to speak.

To be fair, Hayami Mokomichi is stupid levels of hot. So.

No argument! There are a very many dudes who'd be less suited for the mostly-naked role, let me tell you.

(Although actually I am enjoying Soshi more. I think it is the slouching.)

I just watched the first episode.

The Japanese are insane and wonderful.

(And yes, Chobits posits a world where lots of people have robot companions.)

It is like they gave the silver age its own tv show!

(Why do I not have a robot icon? Woe.)

Okay, so the show seems to be divided into "the robot chasing her in case she wants to have sex with it" and "cupcake crises."

THIS IS A WINNING CONCEPT. I ONLY WISH MORE FAN FICTION WAS BASED ON THIS.

(I dunno! But while looking for a picture of the sexbot sculpture from Amsterdam to show you, I found a woman being menaced by a floating dildo instead! GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE.)

MAYBE THERE IS. Maybe the show has a huge fandom! If only I could read Japanese, I could let you know?

PS, sculpture.
