Now you made me think i have been watching lot of Okubo´s work in appleseed and of course freedom (sure a lot more animes and movies)and never noticed who he really was. The images up look SO real, and maybe a silly question but... maybe that designs can have real applications?, like rescuing people or building more robots, don´t know. Watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 recently, so the question just occured to me. I waiting disctric 9, not released here yet, but now i have another reason for waiting to it. like andrew said: thanks for posting, greetings Von!

I am definitely interested in picking up this book in the future. I have an affinity for small robots, especially in kind of arbitrary environments. I am kind of inspired to do my own series of robot/city compositing. If people living around different places in the world would be willing to take photographs for this cause let me know. That would make a fantastic side project, I would love to take the photos myself, but it would be so much more interesting to get others around the world to snap some interesting shots. Anyone partial to small (and maybe large) robots and photography please contact me if interested! Maybe Vong you would be interested in sending me a snapshot of a kind of interesting empty street in Tokyo to get it started? ^_^ Thanks for posting!

Personally I think is the best mecha ever seen in a movie. Probably the movie will be a hit in Japan based on that alone. Anyway, Okubo drawings are interesting. Was him involved with Gits? :D
