Dancing Mechas

While doing research for Pale Blue Scratch, on ballet and dancing in general, I came upon this video while following rabbit trails on Google. It’s the intro for a series I had watched a few years ago on Netflix, before one of their anime purges. I have no reason for posting it, other than I remembered how realistic the machine (called a “rideback”) looked and “felt”—probably just as realistic as the mech from District 9 (extremely nsfw). Japanese art direction in anime tends to be ridiculously detailed, so it makes sense that creators would want to match real-world physics for further effect.
