I enjoyed it for those reasons. It’s definitely a Japanese’s robotics video. Been watching them for years and they’re definitely their own thing.

- saaaaaam 2y ago“Elevates the awfulness to a whole other level” is not incompatible with also relishing the video! (I was going to say “enjoying the video” but that’s not quite accurate, relishing seems a better way to capture the feeling. There’s probably a Japanese word for ‘taking fleeting pleasure in something awful but which if consumed too often or in too great a quantity will become briefly but overwhelmingly obnoxious’)
- pryelluw 2y agoIf not then probably in German. I used to spend a lot of time watching Japanese robotics videos back when RoboOne became a thing. Biped fighting robots were cool. The videos were so god awful. I developed a liking to them in a Stockholm syndrome ish kind of way.
