Japan once again (again?!) brings us the future. No more ronery nights as soon you can have one of these school girl surrogates to keep you company.

As for surrogates - a recommended watch?
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

surrogates movie is not bad. seeing a youthful looking blonde bruce willis alone is worth the ticket.

Thats the creepiest thing in the movie.... the cg'ing of his face... smoothing him out.. the hair... it was creepy lol.

The robot is so unstable... Must add a gyroscope to stabilize it...

Little creepy....
Surrogates is... average. Its kinda um unmemorable, reminded me of too many other movies lol. Its good, don't get me wrong, but its just, nothing amazing. Its a nice action movie, a popcorn movie.
Go see 2012! THATS epic!

I liked Surrogates, though it is way different from the original comics.

If you like second life you will like surrogates, but in fact is a bad movie because it only shows the bad about avatars.
I cant wait to see a robot like that as Hatsune Miku
...that scared the life out of me...

Haha! The future is here once again....

I was at BotJunkie.com yesterday and saw that video. Here's a link:
http://www.botjunkie.com/2009/11/30/robo-one-dance-competition-brings-the-creepy/
I'll mention the same thing here I said there. The bot needs to be half the height for a lower center of gravity, and faster servos. The type of servo motors you use makes all the difference. These servos can't respond to the dance codes fast enough. As for Surrogates, well, it doesn't seem as though they're experiencing servo problems, :-)

For that to be developed by probably a small team of people, it's pretty impressive in what it can do. The aesthetics of it coulda done some improvements though ^^;

the beginning of surrogates is great but it doesn't really go anywhere from there, not recommended.

Japan...if you want your birth rates to stop declining, I suggest you stop making things that will keep people from wanting to be with other real people. ><;
The robot's dancing reminds me of becky cruel's dancing.

Japan also has a company named Cyberdyne and they're a robotics company. So I think that Japan is going to support the robot overlords.

Haha wow she's the best dancer I've ever seen! Looked EXACTLY like the LOVE&JOY dance! LOL
Surrogates looks good though - I always enjoy movies like that, about robots and artificial intelligence xD Wonder if it's any good though?

I prefer the real thing to a robot. Though, if we can get something like a Personacom, then I'll want one.
Did anyone else think the robot was rubbing it's own butt there at the start?

I wonder if anyone would buy one of these and leave the body as it is all mechanical and skeletal while retaining the anime face.

Thinking of future......That must have been a mind boggling amount of code to write for that dance. And who knows what else. Who knows...maybe one day I will be there helping him.

Its funny that in Asia they are more into Humanoid Robots while in The West There are more into Mechanical Robots ( probably because they are afraid of Robots taking over the world )

I wouldn't want robots/androids to replace my 2D girlies. The marriage in Chobits was just realized not too long ago. If anime style robot were to be made I guess the world will be having android marriages with man/women. I can see a not so pleasant world of Chobits though of course their wont be any Chobits series being realized, androids will never have free will.

The idea is interesting but the movie of surrogate is plain boring as I have been cheated with its trailer T_T I want my money back!
Current robots on the other hand is consider slow and somewhat retarded because the lack of a complex A.I. system. Imagine all the coding & machinery needed to be done with a patron pay you all the way. costly~

Wow. We'll really be in trouble though if guys really do start liking robots more.

AS much as technology has advanced in the current time. It can never replace human interaction for there is still something that we humans have that robots can never have. This is just my 2 cents on this topic but i am not against technological advancement. Heck i even want to see the time when "chobits" come to the scene.

They are not quite there yet. Thank goddess. I would have liked to see the bot attempt the Haruhi Suzumiya dance though. Or Karameldansen. That would have been iconic.

That is so scary. If this thing came outta my closet right now to give me a dance like that I'd have stabbed it in the eye. XD
