    That is such a shame because a threeway with her and her robot would be totally hot.


    ...what? DON'T JUDGE ME.

    I usually accept that any number of people may independently come up with similar ideas but...


    Concept designer? More like Shirow fan artists.


    Even the pose is almost directly from the first Ghost in The Shell novel. I bet the the "girl and robot" pairing was also "inspired" by Shirow's Appleseed.

    @Bloodboiler: heh - I'm glad I didn't have to be the spit-sucking braces nerd in this thread. ;) Not that that's a bad thing - I totally agree with you.

    Remember, Pink Spider Robots?


    Remember when you were drunk and crying on my shoulder about your time never coming?

    Well did I say hang in there or what?


    -and NOW look! PINK SPIDER ROBOTS


    Never doubt me again.

    It's not really a tachikoma unless she can ride inside it. Which is even pervier. Esp. since tachikomas have the personalities of kids.


    I totally want to hear the album "Zombiz and the Nuclear Robots". Who's the cat driving?

    Well, she might be monogamous but I totally went down on that spiderbot last Thursday. It left the bar with two welders and a Predator drone.

    Slut.
