I’ve been watching a quirky show called Fireball which revolves around the antics of a female looking robot princess called Drossel von Flügel and her accomplice robot Gedächtnis as they seem to be on Earth about 48,650 AD. There’s 13 episodes of about 1.5 minutes each (though, probably about a minute given that Drossel seems to always misname Gedächtnis and he has to correct her) so it’s pretty quick to get through. It seems to be an experimental foray into CG animation by Disney in Japan so more like an eyecatch than a real show, but worth watching.

Anyhow Gedächtnis is on the left, with Drossel on the right. Drossel certainly acts like a spoilt imperious princess, and has a habit of moving from pose to pose rapidly in a bizarre merged robot/idol style way reminiscent of the demo of the Asimos dancing style wise mixed with a Akiba gravure idol photoshoot. Well, whatever the series is about it’s certainly strange…
