[49] i think this chapter might have my all time favorite ponko drawing <3 enjoy

I can definitely believe those chickens are capable of murder after seeing this.

This series is too great

In the future robots WILL understand animals!

Epic how the "Bremer Stadtmusikanten" were referenced in this chapter. That was nice.

It keeps popping up in Japanese stuff for some reason, in everything from Tekken to Armored Core.

If some apparently random piece of Western pop culture keeps appearing in Japanese media, chances are it's because someone made an anime adaptation of it.

A whole chapter about the chickens (and cat) and it’s great!

I'm surprised finding out how much of a weird Fuji Jr. is didn't kill Akane's crush on him

Also I'd have called the ping pong chapter "Ping Ponko"

they grow up so fast...and know how to kick some ass when threaten

yeah, missed opportunity there for sure. had the chapter name been in japanese we would have done that, but since the title was in english already, we left it.

[50] i kinda like the idea of ponko's sister and taro being companions. they are cute together. ownerless robots must be lonely.

I won't get high hopes though. If you remember the first time we see Ponko's sister then you will probably recognize something.

i remember. they can always reunite after she finishes her bucket list. there's no rush for robots.

I knew there was something melancholic about this chapter. Tho that's par for the course with the entire series being both wholesome and yet has an underlying sadness to it.

Taro feels like a wink to Roy Batty from Bladerunner, at least in appearance.

Ah... getting Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou vibes.

Anime when?

...why do I have a sudden sense of dread that Taro is going to die and she'll inherit an eye from him?

The series can be melancholy, but c'mon, brain, stop that.

I’m starting to think they stopped producing humanoid robots because they all started gaining free will and people couldn’t treat them as purely laborers.

Ponko’s biker sister is very cool and I love her (alongside all the other robot friends)

Oh no, It's a flashback episode.

s a m e

wow. so Ponko's sister isn't the only rogue/free will robot roaming around. and honestly, I feel like calling Ponko's sister as Solid Ponko now. lol

i didn't even know there was a wholesome tag! this is great!

[51] pretty upsetting to hear that there are people who collect humanoid robots. kinda reminded of that movie Ex Machina and i don't like it...

we still learned a lot about the world and these cute robots, so that is good at least.
