Explanation Komachi (Information Robot) by Hiroshi Sasaki and Hiroshi Fuji, Namco, Tokyo, Japan (1984). "This is a robot that provides product PR and in-store information at stores and on the sales floor. Both arms and chest move, and combined with the included color TV monitor, gestures and voice convey information to customers in an interesting way. Since images, gestures, and audio are pre-programmed, it's easy to create a simple show. Additionally, a software editing system is available as an option that allows users to easily program them. The design is in the image of an elegant woman, suitable for showrooms and high-end stores."

"Although the color and some functions are different, the appearance and approximate specifications are almost the same as the current reception Komachi. It has functions that give it a somewhat old-fashioned feel, such as VCR playback. About 10 units were produced, and recently it could be seen in Yubari City, Hokkaido [The silver Komachi was on show at the Yubari Robot Museum until it closed in 2008] … The Reception Komachi was created by making improvements on the explanation Komachi. The design was handled by Mr. Sasaki and designer Hiroshi Fuji (character designer for the Valkyrie series, etc., currently a manga artist), and they came up with a number of color variations. The concept is "a stylish robot in the near future." I didn't add any three-dimensional objects such as eyes, nose, or mouth because I wanted the viewer to imagine a petite woman." – Pepper's senior robot, completed with the recklessness of the president of Namco!

The 50 Best War Films of All Time

This is a tricky genre to try summarize, because of what each individual will choose to classify as a "war film", but I've done my best and tried to focus for the most part on stories set within the thick of actual warfare, rather than dramas taking place afterwards or behind the scenes, and except for a small number of impossible-to-ignore exceptions, very few comedies.

“Long live sacred Germany” indeed. As a history buff, I often wonder what would’ve happened had the 20 July Plot succeeded… how geopolitical tensions would’ve been shaped from then on.
