Mobile Era 8013...
This anime is made for the viewer to enjoy the cuteness of robots, while enjoying a hardly noticeable, inoffensive investigation.
On Earth, where humans have long been extinct,
the hordes of military robots that were left behind
continue fighting an endless war.
To be continued in the second half.
Experiment! Experiment!
I found some interesting data. Do you mind if we try it out?
Sure, what did you find?
Apparently, if you show a special expression called a "self-satisfied expression,"
it was a sure way to get a lot of laughs.
Self-satisfied expression? Sounds interesting.
Let's try it!
Yes.
Subaru!
Experiment... Start!
Forced Expression
It doesn't seem like anything changed...
I feel rather annoyed now, though.
Experiment failed!
Bring something out randomly again, Fujii.
Then...
What's this?
Apparently it's called a music store.
I have no idea what any of this stuff is used for.
Let's find out.
Well, well, well, well...
Now it's begun.
Shall we?
Let's do it.
You seem rather eager, so I'm assuming you want to go, Fujii?
Starting with Fujii... Go ahead...
Okay. Sure. Here I go.
Go ahead.
Hakkeyoi, still in, still in!
Still in, still in, still in...
Still in...
How's that?
Still... in...?
What's still in where?
Um, a long, long time ago,
I guess there was a sport where naked fat people would run into each other.
Uh...
That's rather misleading...
When you put it that way, it sounds...
Like this.
Hey now, those sound effects aren't helping...
Like this.
And this.
Are the taiko drums... humans? Is that what they are?
Right. I'm using them in place of the fat people.
And...
The person that's in the middle, is called a something-or-other,
and holds something like this, and yells, "Still in, still in! They're still in the ring!
Ah, they fell!"
So they're refereeing the game.
Yes.
Do they do live commentary as well?
Nope, they just say "still in."
More importantly, what are you going to do with this atmosphere you created?
Yeah, what are you going to do?
All right, next.
Okay. I might get in trouble for this.
I am Kato.
Do you get it?
Don't you think you went overboard on the maracas?
Well, they're just maracas...
What... What exactly are you expressing with those maracas?
These... Apparently there was a character with a hairstyle like this.
Ahh.
The person who would chase cats barefoot?
Yeah, the person who went out and forgot their wallet.
Wow, I didn't know there was a person like that.
Humans, uh... seem to make mistakes like that.
So today it was scissors, huh?
Yep, it is.
It totally is.
I wonder what it'll be next week?
It's a secret.
Please watch again!
Mori... will go...
Please.
What, are you serious?!
There was data indicating that when humans were very surprised,
their eyes would pop out like this.
What?
Their eyes?
Apparently they popped out.
But doesn't it hurt when humans touch their eyes like this?
Well, yeah, they're not very strong...
So not strong.
Especially compared to robots.
I mean, if they poke their eyes, they're so sensitive, they turn red...
If they popped out like that, what would they do?!
They would never have enough eyes...
Fujii, you seem to know a lot about this,
and I sort of wished you finished your sentence...
I know.
It's amazing.
Humans can't be underestimated.
Yeah.
So, was this it?
Is there more?
Anything else?
Is there?
Mori!
Your arm just shot up there!
Gyafun!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
Wait, what's going on?
What?
These things are called drum sticks,
and when you make them into an "X" and raise your arms like this,
you apparently make the "gyafun" face.
What? Gyafun?
What does gyafun mean?
Do you go "gyaaa" and then something "fun" comes out the back?
Is that what it is?!
Kato, please make a correction.
I have no idea.
Um, so when they get surprised, humans, uh...
Poop.
Something unexpectedly comes out the back... right?
Oh, is that how it is? I had no idea!
I didn't know that, either.
I see.
So when humans are surprised, their faces look like an "X"?
Apparently an X appears on their face.
So does that mean there's an "O," then?
I wonder if there is an O?
An O?
Well, X's and O's go together, don't they?
Like, "okay!"
Okay!
I don't know what's going on, but, okay!
Okay...
Let's look at another file, too.
Then...
What's this?
This is apparently an establishment called a laboratory.
Let's figure out what everything is used for.
Okay, then.
Okay, I'll begin.
Go for it.
I sort of feel this lukewarm wind...
Like, "Oh no, oh no..."
Apparently this is a game where you tell a hundred stories like that.
A game?
Apparently it was a game.
What kind of stories are they?
Usually, they would be scary stories.
But those lamps...
Yeah.
Do they just keep turning each of them off?
Once they turn off the last one...
Yes?
Something scary happens!
Scary.
One... Two...
A hundred...
Scary!
Something like that?
It's scary, huh?
It is.
All right, next.
Kato will go.
Go ahead.
Congratulations! It's a healthy baby boy!
What'd you mean "healthy"?! Half of it is missing!
What ever do you mean?
Is there a problem?
What kind of event is this?
This is...
Right when... humans are... born...
So, when humans are born, they're uh...
Their bodies are missing half the skin?
Well, they aren't wearing any clothes when they're born, so...
What? They're not wearing their skin, either?
They are wearing their skin...
Its muscles, eyeballs, and internal organs are all visible.
It's scary... so scary.
Well, its not wearing anything, so make sure you wrap them tight.
When they're shown to the person who gave birth.
What does give birth mean?
Humans... can give birth to other humans. They can make other humans.
Not like us?
Right. It's different from manufacturing robots.
It's a mystery.
What's a mystery? What's a mystery?
What's a mystery?
It means it's curious.
Oh, that's what it means.
It's a curious thing.
Something that God creates.
Yes.
It's said that God made humans.
That's what I heard.
Like myths.
Wow.
Th-Then that means robots are made by God, too.
So, since we're made by humans that were made by God,
that would make us... God's grandchildren?
Grandchildren?
It's amazing that you're actually sort of right.
I see.
Okay.
Okay, I'll go next.
Okay.
Okay, go ahead.
What the heck, Hiro-kun?! Who's that girl?!
Apparently this is referred to as complications in a relationship.
Like...
Complications in a relationship?
Yeah. So... this one over here, is a woman. The one in the lab coat.
And this one with nothing on is a man.
And the one that's mad is me.
And I think that me and this man...
are in a relationship.
But then, unbelievably, I came home to find...
What's this?! There's another woman in my bed!
Who... Who are you?
What the heck, Hiro-kun?! Who's that girl?!
Is what happens...
What's so wrong with sleeping?
Um, well sleeping...
Sleeping with... w-w-with...
When a man and a woman sleep together,
s-something bad happens...
So of course I'm mad...
It's called cheating.
This woman, the one in the lab coat
is thinking, "Oh crap, maybe I should run for it,"
or "Maybe I should be honest and apologize..."
This is totally real.
The man's like, "Oh crap, I've been caught...
Wh-Which one should I be apologizing to?
Which one means more to me...
Well, I am going out with this one, so I should probably apologize to her...
And I guess I'll just have to have lab coat leave..."
"And then I'll contact her later. I totally need to remember her cell number."
Exactly. Round and around and around and around... Hey! Who's that girl?!
W-Wait, it's uh, not what it looks like!
K-Kato-chan...
You can go home now...
Who the heck is this?!
Why do I have to go home?!
Who's this, Kato?!
U-Uh...
Actually, who is that?!
What the hell is going on, Mori?!
I trusted you!
I-I... I don't know anymore!
What the hell, you're running away?!
Hey, wait a minute! This is your house!
And that's that.
Humans are much more profound than robots.
Totally.
Yeah.
They're well-made.
